Buying The Cabin
In this episode, we look back on our property when we first bought it—what a mess!! And then we see what Nia’s reaction was after not seeing the progress for a while. The transformation is truly unbelievable!
Episode 50 hr 5 min
On The Set Of Disney
Our first HUGE opportunity as family vloggers comes along and it’s with DISNEY! We are all so excited and the music video we got to be apart of is something we will never forget.
April Fools Day
In this episode, our family is on vacation in Hawaii with Sam’s brother and his family. It’s April Fools Day (Sam’s favorite holiday) and the guys go to great lengths to prank Nia and other people throughout the day.
Our First Vlog
We finally decided to give vlogging a shot and here is a loopback at our very first one. The day is fairly simple and regular for how our life looked at that time and we share some of the things that are important to us by taking the viewers along for a day in the life.
A Rainy Day
This episode takes place on a rainy day in our neighborhood where the streets are flooded. Sam makes a huge paper boat with our daughter and we share some adorable flashbacks of her at this age.

Pregnancy Announcement
This episode is monumental and emotional for us to look back on. We were the first in this crazy trend of husband’s telling their wive’s they are pregnant. Sam test Nia’s diluted urine from the toilet and gets a positive result and the reaction is just priceless.
New York Trip
In this episode, we visit our family’s favorite destination: New York City. We are with some of our best friends and the kids are just so much smaller here than we remember and we were caught off guard by their baby-ness and how blessed we are to be able to look back.
Symphony Lost Her First Tooth
This episode is cool because we have the chance to see how a lot of our memories connect. We might not even realize how much without the ability to look back on things. Symphony loses her first tooth in this episode and Abram (only 3 years old) expresses his fear for when he will lose his first tooth. Then we fast forward to present day vlogs to see Abram bravely pulling his first tooth out.
Birth Of Juliet
Of our 3 children, Juliet is the first to be BORN on the family vlog. Sharing Nia’s pregnancy and birth with our audience was incredible, and having such detailed footage to look back on brings us to tears!
New Years Eve
Join us as we look back on ringing in the new decade as a family. We travel to Panama City Beach and have a relatively slow, fun day! We get ice cream, we go to a park area for lunch, and then we do the city ball drop! It was such a good time!
10 Year Wedding Anniversary
What’s so special about this vlog is that our audience has walked with us through the best of times and the worst of times in our marriage. They know things about us that most would normally never know about someone, so here we get to bring them into our vow renewal where we confess and promise things in front of our family friends for the years to come in our marriage. We went all out!! Wedding 2.0!
Saying Goodbye To The Blue House
This is by far the most emotional and raw vlog in our history, according to Nia. It evokes tears every time. Here we spend the last day in our first family home as we prepare to move away to a new city. Our babies were brought home here, our marriage was mended here, we learned who we are here.
Getting Old
Another crazy opportunity came around for us after we made our viral lip-sync and it was to travel to LA to film a music video where we are transformed into OLD PEOPLE! Watching ourselves age was surreal, and this trip and experience is unlike any other we have had together.
