00:00Previously on, Seven Little Johnstons.
00:03Hello.
00:04How are you?
00:05Good.
00:05How are you?
00:06It's been way too long.
00:08I would love for you guys to be my bridesmaid.
00:12I say yes.
00:14Yes.
00:14We say yes to being bridesmaid.
00:18We have been showing for 13 years.
00:21Wow.
00:21So Allie's family always goes to this county fair
00:25at the end of the summer.
00:26And this will be my first time joining their family.
00:29Allie's mom told me that there is like none other.
00:35Where is your arches going to be?
00:37On top of the hill.
00:38On top of the hill.
00:39OK.
00:39Oh.
00:40Really?
00:40How about you building a platform?
00:43No.
00:43I remember you telling me that you just
00:45want to build a platform to put the arches on.
00:48Daddy, you said platform.
00:50We are realizing that wedding planning is crazy.
00:55I say we walk back up to the house
00:56because the longer we stay down here,
00:57the longer dad's list gets.
01:08Oh, baby.
01:09High field.
01:10You take a little trip with me.
01:12I'll show you how to live.
01:13I like my trucks up high.
01:15My cars down low.
01:16We ain't rushing for nobody.
01:18We gonna take things slow.
01:19No.
01:25No.
01:26No.
01:31No.
01:35No.
01:47Yeah.
01:49Yeah.
01:49This is my first time visiting Allie and her family in Ohio,
01:53and we picked a great time because it is the Butler County Fair.
02:01Okay.
02:02I'll start at the legs.
02:04Legs.
02:05So, you know, this is not a vacation.
02:07This is fair week, and during fair week, you do a lot of work.
02:13You wash pigs, you wash goats, you wash sheep, you wash cows.
02:18Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:20You gotta wait.
02:23Emma, you're like a natural at this.
02:25I think you should show in the open class.
02:29Yeah.
02:31Well, until I said something.
02:33I was trying to get the goat on the stand,
02:35but it was just walking me instead of me walking it.
02:39You have to be in control.
02:41I'm trying to control it.
02:45Come on.
02:46When you pick up the, you got it.
02:52How's the goat washing going?
02:53No.
02:54Good?
02:55Good?
02:55Yeah.
02:56Are they being tame and in control?
02:58Um, yeah.
02:59No, overall, they're being very good.
03:00She's got good goats.
03:01Good.
03:02Not right now, but maybe later we can chat a little bit about the kids.
03:08Yeah, I'd love it.
03:10You know, now is not the best time, but I did let Karen know that, you know, I'd like to
03:15have a little chat later about Alex moving up here.
03:18Yeah, we've got the rest of the day.
03:20We can, um, maybe by making dinner, you can come back.
03:22Yeah, that'll work.
03:23Come back.
03:23Yes.
03:24I'm a little nervous about how it may go, but, um, you know, I just hope that we're on the
03:30same page.
03:44Hi, Dad.
03:46Hi.
03:48You said that planter was tall?
03:50Yeah, so before I bring Leighton out, I'm going to let you cut the legs off.
03:54Elizabeth hasn't been a little person very long, so she hasn't learned all the way to, like, read all the
04:00descriptions and the dimensions before you push, before you click purchase.
04:04I thought it looked smaller and shorter in person.
04:13Nice.
04:17Ever since Elizabeth, Bryce, and Leighton have moved out and they are settled into their own home now,
04:22um, we still see them probably at least three, four times a week.
04:29Whoa.
04:30Look what that looks good.
04:34We got to mix up all the seeds, though.
04:37Look, Leighbuck.
04:39We have so many butterflies coming out.
04:41That's the third one over there.
04:43Oh, all right.
04:44Fair game.
04:45That's the elephant.
04:48You missing Mom yet?
04:50Yeah, I do.
04:52I'm glad you finally came over.
04:54I was about to text you and be like, let's do dinner.
04:56I'm not one of those dads or one of those husbands that, like, love it when everybody's gone.
05:00I'm not.
05:00No, I'm not either.
05:01Me and Mom definitely aren't like that.
05:03Y'all see how I am when I just go three hours without Leighton.
05:06Leighton.
05:06What?
05:07You want to get your hands dirty?
05:08Look, Leighton.
05:09Look in here.
05:11Look, get it.
05:13I think it's important for Mom to go up there and, uh, visit Allie's family and the farm.
05:18Mm-hmm.
05:19I mean, not just that, the area.
05:21Ohio.
05:22If it's suitable for Alex, she thinks.
05:24Yeah.
05:25So this past year, Alex has started to express his feelings and his thoughts about moving
05:31to Ohio when he is finished with college.
05:34I don't think that's a bad idea.
05:36However, our home and our family and Georgia is all Alex has ever known.
05:46Oh, are you liking it?
05:48You got dirt.
05:50Did you just eat dirt?
05:51Huh?
05:52You got dirt on your nose.
05:53What do you think about Alex being in Ohio?
05:55I mean, I honestly thought it was going to be Emma to be the one to move out.
06:00I thought Jonah, the boys, were going to stay.
06:02What?
06:02Emma's, Emma likes home.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Now seeing that, though, because especially now with Leighton, she ain't ever going to want
06:07to leave Leighton.
06:11One thing you and I need to do is we need to talk about the wedding arch that we want
06:17to do.
06:18Yes, absolutely.
06:20When Elizabeth and Bryce decided to get married at our home in the field, Elizabeth and I looked
06:25at ideas of wedding arches.
06:28And we have landed and chosen one specific idea of the type of arch that I have planned
06:34on building.
06:36We definitely can't do it too soon.
06:39And Yellow Pine will mildew very quickly.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Get those black spots on it.
06:44And we should have all this ready to go by, like, the first week in October.
06:48Have everything, all that ready to go.
06:50After meeting with the wedding planner last week, there are so many projects on this list
06:56that need to be done.
06:57And with the wedding being November 8th, we really have to haul ass to get everything
07:01started soon.
07:02Here, you can come on inside.
07:03Well, let me.
07:04Get something to drink.
07:18So, like, how do you, like, wake it up if it's, like, sleeping like this?
07:22I just, like, tap on it.
07:24So, this afternoon, Allie is going to teach me how to show my first pig at the county
07:28fair.
07:29So, how do you get, how would you get to, like, turn around in this pen?
07:32You just whip it and...
07:33You would just hit in the opposite direction.
07:36Okay.
07:37Allie has been showing animals since she was, like, seven or eight years old.
07:40And since she just graduated high school, this would be her last year showing animals.
07:46I see.
07:47Yeah, I see what you mean.
07:48Yeah.
07:50I decided to show a pig this year at fair because Allie is passionate about it.
07:55So, I thought I would do it to support her.
07:57It's in the open class, so anybody can show.
08:00Is that fine, Allie?
08:01Yeah.
08:01Okay.
08:04No, I would have never imagined Alex getting down and dirty showing pigs.
08:07He was our kid that loved to stay clean.
08:11Like, he was our kid that brushed his teeth more than two times a day.
08:14If we said we didn't prepare for a wedding, I want to go back inside.
08:20Golly.
08:21He does enjoy playing outside, but once we get scorching hot and the humidity's high,
08:25nope, no more Alex.
08:28I hate this game!
08:32So, so say the judge is, like, in the middle, like, right there.
08:36What I always want to do, that when I come out, I want to, like, take the pig, like, this
08:43way.
08:43Judge always needs to see the pig.
08:45Okay, so keep the pig between me and the judge, basically?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Okay.
08:48So never be between the pig and the judge.
08:50So never be between the pig.
08:51Got it.
08:57If you're, if you want the pig to turn left, tap the pig on the right shoulder.
09:04And if you want the pig to turn right, tap the pig on the left shoulder.
09:07So, like, the correct way to use the pig whip, you're not really supposed to, like, whip them, per se.
09:12You're just supposed to, like, tap them, like, around their, like, faces just to guide them in the right direction.
09:19Is that making sense if I make sense?
09:21Yeah.
09:21Like, when you want them to turn, tap on its shoulders.
09:26And it's not, because it's not easy as it looks.
09:29Let me say that.
09:31I am the only LP at this county fair.
09:34Yeah.
09:34It is harder for me, obviously.
09:36Right.
09:37Because I want to, like, I want to be like the other people, like the other showmen.
09:42If you, if you notice, when they show, they, like, lean down.
09:47Yeah, I've noticed that.
09:48And I want to do that, but I obviously can't.
09:50And also, my pigs aren't slow.
09:53They walk fast.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Fast walking and little legs, that does not make the best combination.
09:58No, it doesn't.
09:59I can speak on that one.
10:00All right.
10:01I'll just stand here and give you pointers.
10:05There we go.
10:08So, even though I'm just showing this pig for fun, I still want, I still don't want
10:13to embarrass myself in front of the whole county.
10:14And don't be scared of the pig, too.
10:16I'm not scared of pigs.
10:20I don't know if I can do this.
10:25Let's go.
10:27I just walked in with the whole team.
10:29Everybody acting like they know me.
10:32While Amber, Emma, and Alex are out in Ohio, I thought it would be a great time.
10:36It would be a great time for the guys to go out and have a guy day.
10:41Bryce, you go first.
10:42I'll go first.
10:43Lead the way.
10:43Okay.
10:44All right, go for it.
10:48Ski shooting is when we ski, we shoot these.
10:56They send these clay discs flying up in the air, and they try to shoot them.
11:01Oh, damn.
11:06What kind of guns do we use for ski shooting?
11:10Shotguns.
11:11Good job.
11:12Grits.
11:13Grits, grits, grits.
11:14I have grits at home.
11:15You know what grits are?
11:16Girls raised in the South.
11:23One, one, and zero.
11:25We're going to have to come up with a wager here in a little while.
11:27A challenge.
11:29All right.
11:30So we all agreed that whoever the loser is has to run through the woods while we shoot them with
11:36paintball guns.
11:38Pull.
11:42All right, pull.
11:45Pull.
11:45When shooting shotguns, people often wonder if we have to adapt our shotguns, and we do.
11:52This would be Bryce's shotgun, this would be my shotgun, and this would be Jonah's shotgun.
11:57Jonah still shoots a youth model shotgun.
12:00Pull.
12:03All right, pull.
12:08There you go.
12:09Nailed that one.
12:10Pull.
12:11Pull.
12:15All right, pull.
12:19I mean, we suck worse than a shot back.
12:22You know, it sounds really good when you come home and say, hey, babe, I hit 15, your dad hit
12:2714, and your brother hit 9.
12:28How many did you shoot?
12:3050.
12:30So you missed 36?
12:32Yeah.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Sounds like you wasted some money.
12:36I mean, really.
12:37You look at it that way.
12:38Good game.
12:40Good match.
12:42Clearly, I'm the loser.
12:44I'll get a consequence later on.
12:46Okay.
12:47Let's get our shot, guys.
12:48The only true winners today are those clay skeets that are sitting out there in the tall grass that they're
12:54going to be able to go pick up and put back in the throwers.
12:57Okay.
12:58They're the ones who won because they got away from us.
13:01That was fun.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Good two hours.
13:04I'd say.
13:15Game game.
13:16Game game.
13:17The oldest game in Ohio.
13:18Okay.
13:20Oh.
13:22Oh, I got one.
13:23Oh, Alex, did you get one?
13:24Yeah, I got one.
13:25Woo-hoo!
13:27There you go.
13:29Here, you want me to hold it?
13:30Why don't you?
13:30So you can keep throwing?
13:30There are two sides to the county fair.
13:33The fair side consists of families that are there all week long showing livestock.
13:42It's very family-friendly side of the fair.
13:48The carnival side is not so much.
13:59Going to the fair, I just, I kind of expected, like, people to stare at us, take pictures of us,
14:06and, like, whisper about us.
14:07Like, that's just to be expected whenever we go into a big outing like that.
14:11So, yeah, that's just what I expected.
14:14You get steak on a stick.
14:16What's steak on a stick?
14:18Steak on a stick.
14:18Steak on a stick.
14:19Oh, I'm tired, Keenan.
14:23You ask yourself, you know, as a little person going to this, people at the fair are going to stop.
14:29They're going to absorb for five seconds.
14:31If they have the courage, they'll come up and ask your name and things like that, or you get the
14:36pictures.
14:37It's something we've had to deal with since we were little kids.
14:40Tripling straps!
14:41All right, now we're going to get in a ride.
14:43I have to say, we will get something.
14:47We'll make sure we get something when we get done with rides.
14:57It's so embarrassing.
14:58You talking about the people laughing?
15:00Oh.
15:00Well, I mean, we're used to that.
15:02Yeah, it hurts our feelings really bad.
15:04Why are they looking at us?
15:07What's wrong with me?
15:10Oh, right here.
15:12Right here.
15:13Oreos.
15:13Right here.
15:14Yep, Oreos.
15:16Can we get some fried Oreos?
15:19We should be able to enjoy an amusement park or a carnival and great carnival food, just like everyone else,
15:26but we can't.
15:33And that's where you go back to, we're not looked at as humans.
15:38We're not.
15:39We're looked at objectively.
15:41I mean, it's ignorance.
15:42They don't have the understanding and realize how rude and disrespectful they're being.
15:47Allie, do you guys normally come to the carnival side?
15:50No, like, never.
15:52Never.
15:53For this reason.
15:54I don't like it.
15:55I feel uncomfortable.
15:56I don't feel safe.
15:58Yeah.
15:58I hate it over here.
15:59No, this is more the city people that are coming for the rides and the food and stuff and not
16:05the agriculture part of it.
16:07No, no.
16:08They, like, stare at us, like, yell out comments.
16:11Take pictures of us.
16:12Take pictures of us.
16:13It's very, very annoying.
16:15So I see why Allie's family doesn't go over there.
16:17I don't feel comfortable over there at all.
16:19Or they don't go over there without a trusted adult.
16:22Yep.
16:23Well, even you and I, when we came, because we had to come a little, not this far over, but
16:28we had to come a little bit because there's an Asian food truck.
16:30We had people that it was not because of who we are.
16:36It was because of what we are.
16:38And we're very kind of ignorant about it.
16:42And we had to politely say, no, we're getting our food and we're people, we're not objects.
16:49People cannot give the excuse, I don't know.
16:51Right.
16:52Because everybody has a phone.
16:54Everybody has access to the Internet.
16:56You can know respect.
16:57And respect is, hi, what's your name?
16:59Not, you know, you're an M word or, yeah.
17:05Breaking down that fourth wall is not about a television family.
17:09It's about disrupting someone's evening at the carnival.
17:17I enjoy the animal side.
17:18We enjoy the fair side.
17:20The countryside more.
17:21Not so much the carnival side.
17:21Yeah, if I come back, we're staying on the countryside.
17:23Yeah.
17:23Oh, that's the country side.
17:25Oh, yeah.
17:25The countryside.
17:27The city side, yeah.
17:28Yeah, we like the countryside.
17:42When I'm in the pen, it's just me and the pig.
17:45I'm nervous because I don't want the pig to run.
17:48I want to do good.
17:49I want to play.
17:50Hi.
17:50Put your hands together, please.
17:52Let's congratulate these kiddos.
17:55While you're in the ring, you want your pig to follow you around
17:58and make sure that the judge can see, like, all the angles of the pig.
18:01And the rest of the judging is basically up to the pig on, like, what it looks like.
18:06Enemy of the ring now is class number five,
18:09our first class of purebred Durrock market hawks.
18:13And second and third class, the social reserve champion was...
18:16The judge is looking for, like, the meat, like, the body type,
18:20the belly, the legs, if it walks correctly.
18:30It's like her walking so fast.
18:32It needs to be a slow place.
18:35Well, when Allie comes in with her Durrock barrel,
18:38it wants to run around and not as cooperative.
18:41So that becomes an issue.
18:43Is it the pig that's maybe not cooperating
18:45because of some of those faults or deformities that it has,
18:48or is it because, you know, it's just being a pain in the rear end?
18:58It's like my waist, basically.
19:02I feel like I have, what's the word?
19:06Disadvantage.
19:06Yeah.
19:07I can't walk fast with the pig.
19:09Plus, when I, like, tap it, it's harder
19:12because I'm, like, leaning on the pig trying to drive it.
19:16So it's much harder.
19:20Ready?
19:26That's the pig I have to show.
19:28The open glass.
19:30So seeing Allie struggle with the pig
19:32definitely made me a little bit nervous
19:33because I'm going to be showing that same pig.
19:36So I hope it doesn't try to run away from me, too.
19:46Okay, you're going to be seven.
19:48It just needs to be more opened up, more bulk, okay?
19:53Okay, bud, you'll be four.
19:56Okay.
19:57It'll be two.
19:59It'll be one.
20:00You got second?
20:01Woo!
20:02Woo!
20:03Good job!
20:07And then he told me, I said, I was like, I'm second?
20:09Like, really?
20:10I was surprised.
20:13Overall, I would say everything went well
20:15when Allie handled it like a champ.
20:17So, yeah, I would say it was an overall success.
20:19And she placed second.
20:21Yeah, I placed.
20:22That was good.
20:24Good job, Allie.
20:26You did good.
20:28Sorry.
20:28Careful how close you get, Alex.
20:30Don't hug me.
20:32Got it.
20:32You're getting perfect.
20:43I'm going to grab the cooler beer.
20:46My wife's out of town.
20:48And the rest of my family's out of town.
20:51Otherwise, I'd have something to do.
20:53Are you really going to do that?
20:56Bury that bottle?
20:57Yeah.
20:59I heard of this old southern tale.
21:02If you bury a bottle of bourbon before your wedding day,
21:06it yields off the rain.
21:07Dig it deep so the raccoons don't drink your bourbon.
21:10They're going to stay clear of this.
21:13Brent's wearing his boots.
21:14He'll be able to operate that shovel good.
21:16And you dig it up on your wedding day to have it.
21:20You stimulate the growth on that tree.
21:23And if we dig this up on your wedding day
21:25and it ain't here, it's out of our hands.
21:30Are either of you guys superstitious?
21:32Did you see each other the night before, right?
21:34Like, it's bad luck.
21:35Let's, let's, let's tell,
21:37because I'll tell you all the things
21:39because obviously this is working.
21:41So we saw each other the night before.
21:43We saw each other the day of.
21:45We were out in the church parking lot
21:49the morning of our wedding,
21:51weed eating and blowing.
21:53So I don't believe in any of that.
21:56This is a lifelong commitment.
21:59We're going for a test drive.
22:04Every time I smoke cigars,
22:07Elizabeth, she really don't like it.
22:10She thinks they're nasty
22:11and she won't kiss me afterwards.
22:13Sounds like smoking cigars is good work for sure.
22:19When are you getting engaged?
22:20Not anytime soon.
22:21I just met somebody five months ago, so.
22:23How's that going?
22:24It's pretty good now.
22:26I don't look like I'm getting married anytime soon now,
22:29but with Bryce getting married this early,
22:31I mean, I'm still excited for him.
22:32He's going to be, he's going to be great.
22:40That wedding will be here before you know it.
22:41Bourbon's playing into effect.
22:43Getting it all out now.
22:45Are you doing signature drinks?
22:47I don't know.
22:48I mean, Miller High Life.
22:49No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:50Oh, man.
22:50No, it's signature drink.
22:52It can be any concoction.
22:53Like bourbon, you know.
22:54So if Bryce's signature drink happens to be beer,
22:58I think a funny name for it would be, you know,
23:02just beer, really.
23:06I might call it beer in the woods.
23:09Elizabeth's got her very, like, illustrious drink,
23:12and then you have on the menu beer,
23:14and then with a period.
23:16We'll just say triple B.
23:18What is it?
23:19Beers, bucks, and boners.
23:23You can call it triple B.
23:25People ask what it is, and that's what you say.
23:27Beers, bucks, and boners.
23:29Bryce's three thanks.
23:31I could show you some signature drinks
23:34that you may can taste and be like,
23:37oh, yeah, that'll be good for the wedding.
23:40Who's going to get the drunkest at the reception?
23:43Probably me.
23:45Who will be the drunkest at the wedding?
23:48Probably Bryce's brother, Brett.
23:51Yeah.
23:53He don't have a care in the world.
23:55And Jonah would probably be the first one out.
23:57She remember when a menu came to Jonah's.
24:00Oh, yeah, this happened right here.
24:02So we got to keep the tradition alive.
24:04Jonah, Jonah.
24:05I don't know what to have you sit on.
24:08Jonah.
24:10Can you fill this up with an Irish car bomb?
24:12Because I can't walk.
24:14So Jonah's celebrating his 21st birthday
24:17and having a good time with his friends.
24:22I was there to celebrate.
24:23Bryce, what are you most nervous about about your wedding?
24:27The whole thing.
24:29The whole thing.
24:32The ceremony, reception, all of it.
24:37Are you really worried, nervous?
24:39Nervous?
24:39But I mean, are you really?
24:41You know it's going to go fine.
24:42I'm just, I just can't help but be nervous.
24:46I'm not nervous, nervous about marrying Elizabeth,
24:50but I am nervous about the whole dancing thing and saying the vows.
24:56When the wedding's over, the party's over,
24:59and it's time for you and Elizabeth to make your exit,
25:02are you guys leaving Leighton with grandparents,
25:04or are y'all taking Leighton with you?
25:07Me and her, we're just going to probably leave Leighton with y'all
25:10or my parents.
25:14And then me and her go on our honeymoon, wherever we're at.
25:18You know, she's never liked being without Leighton.
25:21So she's going to be missing Leighton the first day we're out
25:26and already probably going to be wanting to come home already.
25:30Where are y'all planning on going?
25:31Yeah.
25:31We're going to try to go to Hawaii.
25:33Hawaii?
25:34Okay.
25:35Y'all be gone, hopefully, for more than one day.
25:36If she's ready to see Leighton by day one, that's a problem.
25:38That's what I'm saying.
25:40That's what I'm saying.
25:42The honeymoon is still something that me and Elizabeth need to talk about.
26:05How many last-minute advice before I head in?
26:08Just look at the judge.
26:11I got contact.
26:13You do good.
26:14I believe in you.
26:17Okay.
26:17Hey, what's the advice I always tell you?
26:19Don't suck.
26:21I'll try.
26:23I would say Allie's advice of her telling me just don't suck was pretty good, I'd say.
26:30I mean, she was just straight to the point.
26:32And, yeah, my goal was to not suck.
26:40Actually, go towards the right, you said?
26:42Yeah.
26:44Hey, Allie's about to go next after this group.
26:48Well, you can watch it.
26:50I am pretty nervous.
26:51There's a lot of people watching me, and I really don't want to embarrass myself,
26:55especially in front of my future end-laws.
26:58Class 7 in show ring.
27:01All the way 235 to 247.
27:05Place in class 6.
27:076.
27:08Good job!
27:09When I first stepped into the ring with my pig, I was definitely nervous.
27:12Like, I felt like all the eyes were on me.
27:14And, yeah, it was definitely nerve-wracking when I first stepped in.
27:19Good job!
27:20Keeping his head out.
27:27I think Alex is doing great.
27:30The pig isn't running.
27:32He was fast walking a little bit.
27:34But overall, Alex is doing great.
27:41Watching the swine show, it's, I guess, organized chaos in the ring.
27:50You're going to be 8?
27:59You're going to be 7?
28:09You're going to be 5?
28:11Oh, he got 5?
28:12Oh, he got 5?
28:13He got 5.
28:14Good job!
28:16Good for him!
28:17Good job!
28:18Good for him!
28:19Yeah, that's pretty good!
28:20Yeah!
28:21Woo!
28:23Overall, I'm really happy with my performance.
28:25I'm more than happy that I placed it in 5th, and I did it a lot better than I thought
28:29I was going to.
28:30You did good.
28:31Good job.
28:32So what do you think?
28:32How did you do?
28:33I did a lot better than I thought I was going to.
28:35I thought you did great.
28:36You did good.
28:37Didn't get away from you?
28:38Didn't take off?
28:39Not really, no.
28:41He kept his composure.
28:42If he would have gotten tense, the pig would have gotten tense and tried to run even more.
28:46For his first time showing, keeping that composure was huge.
28:49At least I got a ribbon.
28:51That's all I really need.
28:52I know!
28:52Pink.
28:53Real men wear pink.
28:54That's right.
28:55Real men wear pink.
28:56It matches your shirt.
28:56It does match my shirt, actually.
28:58You keep it.
28:58Yeah.
28:59That's right.
29:00I was pretty impressed.
29:01Alex did really good with the pig.
29:03I thought, like, I don't know, the pig would run away from him, but he did really good.
29:08I feel like he did a good job.
29:09And we're walking away with a little Butler County Fair souvenir.
29:14Good job!
29:15Yeah!
29:16Thank you!
29:17Congratulations!
29:18Thanks.
29:19You did really good.
29:20That went a lot better than I thought it was going to.
29:22I think you did better than Allie.
29:24She did, yeah.
29:26The pig is a lot better than me.
29:28But let's make it clear.
29:30The Johnstons are not becoming pig showers, goat showers, cow showers, horse showers, chicken showers,
29:39rabbits, showers.
29:42You want to come back next year and do it?
29:44Maybe.
29:44You're open?
29:45Yeah, you should.
29:47So now that I've shown my own pig, I definitely have a greater appreciation for what Allie does
29:51when she shows her pigs.
29:53And it also gives me an insight of what the lifestyle will be like when I eventually make
29:57move up to Ohio.
29:59Aw, how cute!
30:01That's so cute!
30:03That's your hallway.
30:17After our embarrassing skeet shooting, technically none of us did very well.
30:24Jonah did terrible.
30:24And we had an agreement that whoever lost, there was a payoff bet.
30:30I thought about having Jonah down there on the hill, running right and left, almost like
30:35serpentine, hiding behind trees.
30:38Jonah has to go down on the hill, run back and forth and find two ears of corn, dried corn
30:45that we have hanging in the woods.
30:48Once he finds the corn, he has to untie them and run them back up the hill and put them
30:52in our deer feeder where we feed deer.
30:55In the meantime of him running and hunting for deer corn, we're going to be just bingo
30:59stamped Jonah with a paintball gun.
31:02Come on, fat boy!
31:10This is great.
31:15In all fairness, to keep the theme alive and because Bryce is a part of this whole debacle,
31:21it's fair for me to be in a deer costume.
31:24And I actually looked at it as though, look, I get some sort of armor.
31:32This is great.
31:33If someone believes this is ridiculous, I think it's appropriate.
31:39Is that stuff hanging out or is this good?
31:41You look good to me.
31:42I think that, you know, if I weren't to do this and I weren't to hold up my end of
31:47the
31:47bargain, they wouldn't want to play any competitions with me.
31:52Just watch the ground when you're running.
31:53Yeah.
31:56So just in these woods right here?
31:58You're fine.
31:58You can go anywhere you want.
32:00You can use the trees for cover or you can just hail Mary it and go for it.
32:05Ready?
32:06Yep.
32:07Go!
32:22All right, once he crosses that tramp, let's just start, I mean, just, just hammering him.
32:38He's done.
32:39All right.
32:39Good job!
32:42Good job!
32:43Holy !
32:48Although I did get tagged a couple of times with the paintball markers, I was able to successfully
32:56retrieve the two ears off the tree and put the ears of corn in the baskets.
33:02All right.
33:03Good job.
33:05Yeah.
33:06The costume does not help.
33:08I don't see any spots.
33:09Oh, I, I got lit up.
33:11I can still feel him right here, right here, and then right here, and then my hand.
33:15We hit you in the hand?
33:16Yeah, on this side.
33:17I think you had a yellow spot over here.
33:19Never mind.
33:20Yeah, we did rip him up right there.
33:22Yeah.
33:23But I said we got a dead deer tonight.
33:26All right, your debt's paid.
33:27Thanks.
33:28Good job.
33:29Good sport.
33:41The sweet corn's in there.
33:42Oh, it is?
33:43Yeah, we'll just shuck it into a bucket.
33:45You want to show, show Amber how to shuck corn?
33:48I know how to shuck corn.
33:49Okay, I just, there's a right way.
33:52You got to do it.
33:52That city.
33:54Well, now, I don't know.
33:56You have, like, technique or something.
33:57You got to do it to get all the silks off.
33:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:59Okay.
34:01Just making sure.
34:02Trent and I have been talking about how Alex wants to move to Ohio, so it's important for
34:07me to talk with Allie's parents and make sure that this is going to be the best fit for Alex.
34:15Adam, where do you want the corn in the pot?
34:17Put it in the seats.
34:19Yeah, take it and just lay it in a chair.
34:22I'm glad you guys have got to come up here and see a little piece of what she does and
34:27what she loves.
34:29I am, too.
34:29And it's nice to see y'all's, like, family, of course, and then friends.
34:37It's nice to be able to see that because eventually, I know Alex is going to make his way up
34:43to Ohio.
34:45Well, I know.
34:46How do you feel about that?
34:48I think, you know, truthfully, I know, especially being little people, that that's always a possibility when they date, you
34:57know, other little people.
34:58Yeah.
34:58And something, you know, with Allie is, I know farm life is very, very important to her, and that's what
35:07she wants, agriculture she wants to go into.
35:10And, you know, we can't give that to her down where we are.
35:14I'm okay with that, especially knowing y'all's family.
35:19And, like, he's going to be, I don't want to say taken care of, but taken care of in the
35:25sense of, like, emergency if I can't get up here.
35:28We, yes, we've had people.
35:30But, yeah.
35:31We're here.
35:32And Trent and I know, like, we're prepared emotionally to have to travel to see our kids.
35:40I think about Alex moving away to Ohio is a happy, sad feeling.
35:45It's an accomplishment, number one.
35:47I will not be sad.
35:48He will be missed extremely.
35:51But I think over time, it may get worse before it ever gets better with us missing him.
35:57Me, Amber, and Emma will have the biggest struggle, no doubt.
36:02But I know, too, how much Alex, when he does come up here and comes back home, how much he
36:08loves, I mean, loves doing farming with you.
36:11He blends in so well, and he jumps right in amongst the farm guys.
36:16Yeah.
36:17Well, we don't even have to ask him to help.
36:18He just jumps right in.
36:19He jumps right in.
36:19I mean, what else can I do?
36:20And, I mean, he's so polite and respectful.
36:22He's, you guys have raised a really, really good young man.
36:25At least one out of five.
36:26Yeah, I understand.
36:27It works.
36:28I understand.
36:29I do see Allie and Alex together for quite a while, looking into the future.
36:33So, I do see him maybe moving up here, and that will present its own set of challenges, if and
36:38when that happens.
36:40They figure out the long-distance relationship, but now how will they figure out the relationship when it's more day
36:45-to-day?
36:46I would like to see them, if it does go to engagement or anything like that.
36:51I would like them to live in the same city for a while.
36:54Oh, yeah, before?
36:55Before an engagement or something happens.
36:57In this day and age, you know, in Trent and I's age, you couldn't do that.
37:01It wasn't a while.
37:02Not even living, if they want to live together, yes, but at least where they can see each other more
37:07consistently.
37:07You're a firm believer in that.
37:09You know, when you get to see each other.
37:11We told Jonah and Ashley, yep.
37:12It's exciting, and it's fun, and you love it.
37:14You'll be doing it for at least a year.
37:15Yeah.
37:16This trip to Ohio has been a lot of fun, but Trent and I have a lot to discuss, one
37:21being my thoughts on Alex moving to Ohio, and then, of course, the other is wedding talk, since the wedding
37:27is only three months away, and we still have a lot to do.
37:30I don't know who wants to have the pork burgers, but that's Allie's pig from last year.
37:34Oh.
37:34So.
37:35Nice.
37:37That's what happens.
37:38It's a prize-winning pig.
37:39That's right.
37:39It was too big to bring the fair, so we just kept it and ate it.
37:44I'm by the dolly, yo, I said it from the start.
37:47I love it so much, you leave me with a heavy heart.
37:49Working all night and all day to get rich with it.
37:52I saw the big picture, now I'm seeing big digits.
38:00It's nice and humid.
38:03Hi, dear.
38:04Hi.
38:05Welcome home.
38:06It's a bit strong out here.
38:10All that smell is nothing but money.
38:13Well, that's supposedly what I smelled for the last four days at the fair.
38:19I am obviously a little tired from just getting in from Ohio, but it's important that Trent
38:25and I catch up, especially being that the wedding quote just came in.
38:30Proposal came in for Elizabeth's wedding.
38:33I got to sit down for this one.
38:35The wedding quote came in, and it is definitely higher than what we imagined or what we thought
38:44would be.
38:45I don't want to say we had a number, but at the same time, we definitely weren't thinking
38:52that was going to be the number.
38:54It's a lot more than what we will be able to do.
38:58But everything that she has, Julie has listed down there, I mean, it's a lot of work.
39:05I don't know what weddings, it's been 27 years since I planned a wedding.
39:10And when I did our wedding, I did it extremely conservatively.
39:14I went to a big box store and bought fake flowers to do my bouquet, and I went to JCPenney
39:23Outlet and bought my $199 wedding dress.
39:27This is the top of the top.
39:30What's the most expensive thing, food or flowers?
39:32I know it's one of them.
39:33Flowers, by far.
39:35Over food?
39:36By far, yeah.
39:37The highest-priced items on the quote is flowers.
39:41At this point, I'm like, take out the orchids and let's add some monkey grass in there.
39:46Some leary oak.
39:48Some ivy.
39:50Yeah, we got plenty of ivy.
39:52Yeah.
39:53I feel like if we could, you know, first of all, talk to Elizabeth and Bryce, and then we,
39:58you know, contact Julie and see, you know, if we could at least cut 35% and it not completely
40:08change the look of the wedding.
40:11This is a lot to have to cut from the wedding budget, and hopefully, you know, Elizabeth doesn't
40:16freak out.
40:21Next time on Seven Lil' Johnstens.
40:23The wedding proposal came in, so we have to discuss.
40:29It looks like it's a lot.
40:30It is.
40:31The final number at the back is not doable.
40:36We're going to make a couple of drinking glasses like these ones.
40:39Tap and turn.
40:40Same things.
40:41Tap and turn.
40:41Let's bring it over to our glory hole over here, and you're going to rotate that.
40:48It's warm in here, and it's because of these furnaces, which one's actually called a glory
40:55hole.
40:55Yep.
40:56You just stick the tip in.
40:59I brought all the guys.
41:01Yay!
41:02Yes.
41:03I think Elizabeth has strong opinions, especially when the event has something to do with her.
41:09We've got the camo tie.
41:10Oh, my gosh.
41:12That's great.
41:13Yeah.
41:13No.
41:14I'm like, gosh, please let me wear this at the wedding.
41:18That's what I'm talking about.
41:19Yeah.
41:19It's great.
41:20I love it.
41:21No.
41:23Set it aside.
