Austin, I love that u said, "I married Joy, not my kids". That is very powerful & meaningful bcuz I think that's what determines a good/great marriage after the children r gone. Parents who don't think like that don't even like/want to interact with their spouse after the children r gone. Thank u for sharing that with us & hopefully parents out there will listen & learn something...

When you're raising children, the days are long and the years are short.

“When your kids are little they step on your toes, when they are grown they step on your heart ❤” ~ enjoy this precious season with your babies.

True love like youres is a precious gift from God💞🙏. My husband and I got married at age 19. We are now 70 and celebrated our 51st. wedding anniversary on June 24th 2023. We have four generations in pur family now. Our God is an awesome God and worthy of all of our praise 🙌 💞🙏

My husband and I have been married for 47 years! We have 3 grown children that are married and now we have 6 grandchildren! Now it’s just my husband and I and we are more in love now than ever. Yes it was diffused at times but we worked on our marriage, life and children ups and down. Wouldn’t change anything in my life. You all are a great family!❤

Oh, Austin, don't dream for the future. Enjoy every present moment. Trust me, it goes by so fast and you will long for those days.

Glad to see y’all making your family time a priority ! Kids grow up so fast !

My favorite part of this video is when Gideon hugged you joy. He was so excited when you gave him praise for doing a good job. You and Austin are wonderful parents.❤❤❤❤❤ Austin loved the expression at the end.😂😂

From a piano teacher 's viewpoint, Gideon and Evie are starting out great!

Don't be to anxious for the kids to grow up and leave, it's one of the hardest things I ever had to go through with mine. I long to do the baby toddler days over again.

Hes adorable with the harmonica

Hi Joy & Austin. My parents always said that days are long, but years fly by. How right they were!

Austin is 100% great dad and husband and human being!

Love Grampas house the Horses. Zip lining. Looks like a Beautiful place. ✝️💖

Evie is no longer a toddler and is now a little girl! She is so adorable!

I remained best friends with my husband. We don’t hold grudges and we are both quick to apologize and to forgive. I’m grateful to God for my husband 💛🙏🏻☺️

awesome parents and kids! love this family! sometimes seems too good to be true but of course they aren't going to show the worst times. austin has evolved into an amazing hands on dad and he & joy complement each other & you can see the love between them. i love that tgey do simple family things & are down to earth. most of the duggars seem to be except jinger & i think that's jeremy's influence. i do love jinger though-she's a beautuful and sweet girl &im glad the girls all seem happy in their marriages and parenting. austin is so patient as a dad he teaches his kids a lot! i like how austin helps joy find her words and finish her thoughts..❤❤❤

Me and my husband have been married for 44 years and we are still best friends. I love your family. I look forward in seeing your post's. ❤❤❤

When my kids were this age, I used "Red light!" or "Green light!" when we reached intersections or driveways when out on walks. This made it more of a game and they stopped more quickly. Love your family and appreciate your videos!

I miss the days of my children being young. I use to think this is hard. And I longed for them to become independent and grown. Now. I long for the days when they were so young. And wish I could go back Enjoy every moment!!! Time is passing us all by, So quickly. Don't blink.. blessings Austin Joy & Family ❤️ ( atleast I have my beautiful grandchildren.. being with them takes me back.. especially seeing my children in them!).

Tell Gideon I like his harmonica playing, and I love to see his sweet little face, all three kids are just so cute❤❤❤

Joy, I've been watching you on tv for a long, long time. I've always liked you - you seem like such a genuine person. I'm so happy and proud of you to see that you're real and honest with your feelings - and Austin seems like he does the same. Saying out loud and discussing the hardships and challenges of raising children, feeling pain/crying openly (not in this episode, but I've seen you both do that before and it made me like you both even more), etc. It is such a healthy step forward to accept all that we feel, and even further, sharing it with each other and your audience too. You're making a world of difference for your children by showing them all the ways that it's ok to feel ❤ I really dislike the 'enjoy every minute' commentary people make - with the best of intentions - but it makes real moms - and aren't we all real moms?? feel badly, feel like we're doing something wrong - you can't and shouldn't enjoy every minute because we need to feel it all to be healthy, whole people. Feel the frustration, the sadness but relish the good stuff, and there's so much good stuff. I wish instead of saying enjoy every minute, people said enjoy what you can. When my kids were babies, they are 4 and 7 now, but it was the hardest season of my life. The older they get the more I'm able to enjoy more and more of my days with them. And I'm so glad I didn't try to enjoy every minute - it would have made me feel guilty and all sorts of feelings that would be even worse than just accepting that this is hard. I am probably 15 or so years older than you (I'm 39...eeek!), but I continue to admire the wife and mother you are, and the person you've always been but the grown up woman you're coming to be. You're just such a sweet soul. I hope that you continue to grow, learn from others different than yourself, expand your horizons and keep an open mind when it comes to growing/learning. Keep on keepin on! ❤

Those strider bikes are so great for young kids and their balance skills for riding a two wheeler when they are bigger. Such a great thing !! And starting those family walks/rides etc is such a wonderful tradition for their whole lives. Also, appreciated the talk about keeping your spouse a priority so that when the kids are off and launched - you two can enjoy each other forever.

I absolutely LOVE this family! Kindness, love, adventure, perfection!

What a fun day at camp! The walk looked beautiful. Gideon’s huge smile and hugging his mom after playing the song by himself was precious. 😊 Seeing you in your home, it’s clear you all enjoy each other. You are both such patient teachers, making those moments fun. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. May the Lord continue Blessing you all. 🙏🏻

That is such a truly romantic statement, Austin. Looking forward to the future and your married relationship.

Those babies are beautiful and so full of happiness ❤❤

The kiddos are so sweet and precious. I love Gideon’s sheer delight at being able to play those few bars on the piano. I also love Gunner’s smile. It is the best. And Evee is so cute. She’s so curious about everything nature related. And she seems to really love her grandfather. Looks like you guys had a fun time relaxing and just being together. Sometimes simple can be so meaningful.

I always admired your moms patience with 19 kids. I know as she had more and you kids got older she had help. But she was an amazing mother and you having 3 you probably have so much more admiration to her for how she did it. ❤ Also does Gunner ever stop smiling. He is just a happy boy. 😊

I love what Austin said he married Joy not his kids and he can't wait for the day for it to be just the two of them later in life, so sweet

Evy's little voice is so precious!

Your children are so blessed to have the camp to go visit their grandparents. It's a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors. They'll have so many happy memories of times spent there. The children are beautiful and so sweet. You and Austin are great parents. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

I agree with this. I was saying to a friend the other day that I look forward to the day my son is out on his own so we can enjoy each other again as just ourselves. As parents your job is to raise your kids with the tools to move forward with their lives and you get to watch them grow in adulthood as well.

I love Austins personality!! It cracks me up how he can say funny things with such a straight face.

Such a beautiful family, makes me miss having my 4 sons as little kids and all the noise and chaos

Joy, I can't express just how much I've come to look forwards to your videos. You're real and honest, and your vlogs are so heartwarming. You have such a beautiful family and I pray one day for God to guide me to the right man, just like He did you. I'm so glad to see you happy, living life and living for the moments.

I like that grateful people are happy people.

Thank you for taking us on your journey you are all down to earth and very relatable

Gunner has rolls on his rolls. So cute

Evie is the Cutest child. She's Angelic inside & out !

I love your little family Joy, your kids are precious. I know being on KZfaq and having a public family can't be easy. I see the things these gossip pages and just people in general say, and THEY ARE JUST MEAN, EVEN EVIL! Being a mother isnt easy without people watching, and you and Austin seem to be handling it with such grace. The only people looking for every little thing to criticize, are the people who are avoiding looking at their own lives. Stay true to yourselves and let God guide you, not the critics, not the opinions of people on social media. You'll are so sweet, I love the new intro, and keep on being YOU! GOD BLESS 😊

Grateful people are always happy people 😍

Austin's genes are strong! All 3 children are little clones of him. Keep being "intentional" and you'll never lose that spark.

Wow Joy, I love your family and I'm so surprised that Austin is such a family man.....he was quite stunning when you got married....but he's awesome to you and his children!!! CANADA LOVES YOUR FAMILY❤❤🇨🇦❤️❤️

Enjoy those adorable kids,, stay best friends ,, know the days are long but the years are short😊

Thanks for sharing. Y’all are having the best time of your lives right now while your precious children are young. They grow up so fast. Blessings

Evy so funny she loves the bugs. I foresee many jars being brought back to the home. Your analogy of friendship, love, marrige, children is spot on!🙌❤️

Your kids are so cute ❤. This is the best time of your life, when your kids are little

Blessings and I love you all and your precious family. Raising kids does go back to quick and Id do it again if I could. Gideon and Evey are doing great learning music. My son and daughter have 🎶 music. It helps them focus.

That baby is magnificent and your in laws place is like a dream for kids. So beautiful xxx

I must say you are fantastic parents to your children.And it's lovely that you spend time together.i love watching your videos so looking forward to the next one.Have a lovely week all of you.😊

Beautiful family. Yes, those years when the kids are small that fly by so fast. Glad you are making time for yourselves in the evening so you can spend time together. That’s very important to spend time together.

I miss my girls being that age, even my granddaughter! 😂 My girls are 33 and 35 this past August and my oldest granddaughter is 16 1/2. While in the moment it seems like it will be forever till you’re empty nesters. Once you become one it’s hard. You don’t think it will be but you miss them so much when they move out. We camped a lot with our girls. We always went with a bunch of friends so we had our own little village when we went. Usually had to rent 4-5 camping lots but it was so much fun. Enjoy your camping, can’t wait to watch it. ❤

It is so awesome watching your family doing lots of things together! How fast the kids change! They are as adorable as ever!! God bless you and your family!🙏

I had 8 kids all really close in age it's definitely a season and it goes so quickly. My response is lots of photos and memories and love. I would not change a thing. I definitely recommend having kids close in age and enjoy the roller coaster ride before you know it they will be starting their own lives.

Gunner looks so much like you Joy, such a little cutie 🥰

It does go so fast, when they are little. I miss those days so bad.

Austin wants Joy all to himself. That is super sweet 🙏❣

Having my kids on a schedule saved my sanity. And it was good for them to.

Gorgeous and perfect children as well! Amazing mommy n daddy!

Austin made a powerful statement, he married Joy not his kids... Sometimes we get so involved with our kids that we forget about one another. But you can slow down regroup then is when you start to put your wife or husband first. Because one day will be grown and married...

Its very important to always make time for each other, marriage always takes work. Never take each other for granted because you never know what tomorrow will bring. You two are doing a good job!

This was a great video loved the time you spend with family but also your talk on your family walk was so great! Austin is so right he married Joy not the kids they will be grown and married with their own families and it will be you and him! My husband and I I have been in that season for a long time now, we have 6 grandchildren and we love it! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

always be thankful to wake up every day...life is but a heart beat away,,,

It's a Trill thing to see this humble family each week. Awesome family, never boring. Blessings to you always Forsyth Family ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

My kids are grown. Am alone but enjoy retirement. Life is good. Love your videos and seeing the outdoors. Thanks for sharing. Bless y’all from Texas.

Your babies have the sweetest smiles.

Love your vlogs!!! Thanks for being willing to share your lives with all of us!!!

You are doing a fabulous job. Love covers so much and it’s quite evident that your family loves being together. Good job❤️

Joy that is so true! I have enjoyed every stage of raising my children and enjoyed each one! The empty nest is my least fav! I miss my babies! All the smiles and words they say and things they do! Enjoy!!

You have such a beautiful family. I can't believe how big Gunner is getting, he is so cute. Evie is getting so grown up. Gideon playing the piano is adorable! You are such a mindful married couple, to make time for each other. I love how Evie likes bugs, better than being afraid of them. God Bless you and your wonderful family!🐢🇺🇸

Such a sweet family life you have created.

I love your family, you guys are so close as a family. You're a great example of a family to all those young families trying to make it work ❤❤❤😊🙏🏽

Joy, you are such a natural filming these Vlogs..Plus they are so entertaining. What an amazing young woman you have grown into: I wish you and Austin and the kiddos all the best, always :-)

You guys are so precious, I love your little family.

Evy makes me smile. She’s such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing. From Mrs Fishinrodd.

Gideon is doing soooo good on the piano! That’s awesome

Omg, your children are positively adorable 😊

“Grateful people are happy people”… amen!

Gideon and Evie are getting so big and Gunner adorable

Oh, it DOES go fast!!! Our ‘baby’… the last of our 5 kids just got married in September.😮It’s crazy! But like you say… we are thoroughly enjoying this season now… retirement, new business ventures (beekeeping & antiques),traveling & the grand babies😍

Joy, there's something I heard (can't remember who said it originally); the days are long but the years are short.❤

Love how you and Austin communicate so well.

Looks like the perfect place to soothe one’s soul. Looks so peaceful.

This was an massively awesome vlog....you both are amazing parents. Keep making us smile.....love this.

I love your hearts! Your kids are adorable! The piano lesson and bug hunting, so cute! You are right, enjoy the moments! Side note. Please know this comes from a loving heart…. I was in a bicycle accident. My helmet protected me. Please consider getting bicycle helmets. Most states have free helmet events for kids. Highly recommend!

Very cute kids, great parents,

My husband and I are almost at the stage where it'll be just us...and we don't know what we will do. We have some plans, like getting an RV and driving across the US. I married my hubby when I was 18, had my first when I was 18. I'm now 39 and he is 41. One kid left in high school. Where did the time go, Joy?

I had a big baby boy too. Get yourself a exoskeleton backpack to carry him. I’m small like you and could carry him till he was 3. Great for those times when baby wants to be held but you need to cook dinner

You guys are so awesome!! Gunner looks just like his daddy.💙 Lovely family!!🌸💖

Love you guys. You're a great family.

Family is everything!!!!

Great job Gideon on playing the piano 🎹🎶

Love WATCHING YOUR LITTLE FAMILY

Kids are so fun. Glad you get time together. ❤

Fall is my absolute favorite season. 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

I enjoy watching you and your Family. God Bless. Jean ❤

You guys are great! Enjoy this season and stay true to each other❤. Time does go by fast.

Austin has a dry sense of humor. Cracks me up.

Thank you for sharing you and your beautiful family and the beautiful views
