[Amy] Previously on Little People, Big World...
[Tori] Are we gonna do like, a big horse, or a little one?
Oh, no. We're doing a big one.
[chuckling]
-Your little table. -[Lilah crying]
[Zach] Mom's not coming back. It's not happening.
[laughing] I don't think Mom's worried about that right now.
Does this look Western?
-Oh, my goodness. -[laughs]
This fundraiser that we're having for DAAA will be at the farm.
And it's kind of Western themed.
-Hello! Well, you got all kinds of stuff. Here. -[Amy] Well.
[Caryn] We've both been with Matt for ever
and I think there's been some history where
she had a lot of feelings about the farm and her space.
So, how is it,
-working with the house? -Oh? Oh!
Well, you should know. [laughs]
For me, it's still kind of awkward to meet up with Caryn.
It'll always impact me till the day I die, but...
you just do the best you can.
-[Zach] Let's go there. -[Tori] You good?
-[Kelsey] Hi, guys! -Hi!
-[Kelsey] How are you today? -[Tori] Good.
Ready to ride some horses I think.
-Yeah? -These two.
-These two? -[Zach] Not the little guy.
Okay.
Last week, I made a deal with Jackson
that if I camped out, he would go horseback riding with me.
I made good on my promise.
Now, he's making good on his.
[Zach] All right, Jackson. You ready to go, bud?
Are you excited?
[Kelsey] Yeah? Are you nervous?
-[Tori] You're gonna be great, dude. -[Kelsey] Kinda? That's okay.
[Tori] Jackson said he was nervous.
Which is, I mean, he's never done it before.
I don't blame him for being a little nervous.
It's a big animal.
-[gasping] Ooh! -There you go, perfect.
-[Zach] Oh, wow. Look at Jackson up there. -[Tori] Good?
-[Zach] Hey, Jackson. -[Tori] What?
There was no, like, build up.
It was just kind of like, "Oh, he's on a horse."
He didn't have any opportunity to think about it.
-It was like, done. -Yeah.
-It was "go, go, go". -Yeah.
[groans] Got it.
Whoo! Whoo. It's been a minute.
[Zach] They're gonna be too short.
Here, put your foot in there real quick.
-Let's see how that looks. -[Tori] Too long?
-[Zach] Oh, no. It looks good. -[Kelsey] Yeah.
There's some things, being a little person,
things have to be adapted,
riding a horse is one of them.
Usually have to get shorter stirrups to put your feet in.
And Jackson being as young as he is, as well,
just being a child, you know, they have to make adjustments for that.
All righty.
So, we're gonna follow this trail across the road,
through another trail, and out onto the beach.
[Tori] You good, Jake?
[Zach] Wow. Look at Jackson go.
All right. Should we go to the beach, Lilah?
No, Mama's gone horseback riding too.
Pretty cool.
All right, let's go.
I was a little nervous, I'm not gonna lie.
It's one thing for me to, like, bail off a horse.
It's a whole other thing for a six-year-old to do it.
But I hope he has a good experience.
'Sup, Jake? You having fun?
[Tori] Are you loving it?
Can I get a 'yee-haw'?
Nothing? Yee-haw!
It was cool to see him doing something that
he was so adamant that he wouldn't do,
but then, not just like, doing it to appease me,
but actually enjoying it.
-What's up? -[Zach] Hey!
Jackson, how was it?
[Colin] Did you have fun, bud?
-[Colin] Good, I'm so glad you guys had fun. -What do you say?
-[Tori] Thank you guys so much. -[Colin] You're welcome.
[Jackson speaking]
[Tori] But you did it, didn't you?
You jumped right on there.
[Zach] Jackson did amazing.
Jackson, I'm so proud of you for doing that, dude.
I had never doubted you though.
Glad you did that, hey?
Is Mom gonna camp out with us again now?
Yeah?
Sit still, please.
Seeing me on a horse?
You know the best part for me on the horse?
Was seeing you ride a horse.
Twinsies.
[Zach] Jackson, I can't wait till the shop's done.
[Zach] It's almost there.
The contractors are so close.
They still have to finish the sidewalk outside.
-The bathroom. -And the bathroom.
Painting, the electrical.
Well, if you say it like that there's still a lot but...
[both chuckle]
I think they're so close.
The shop is a building we're having built on the property.
We did have a prediction in there that it might be finished in May.
But we're hoping it's done in July.
We're definitely getting antsy.
-You know, summer's here. -And we're just like,
we're also like, in this space right now of summer,
and we just wanna like, clean out the garage,
and get rid of stuff and organize and like...
-Yep. -...move on, but we can't,
until that shop is done.
And I think that's like, the most frustrating part.
And are you guys ready for Austin?
-[Jackson] Yeah. -Oh, yep.
Once we're back from Austin, the shop's done.
Besides finishing the shop,
the whole family is going to go to the LPA Convention in Austin, Texas
in a few weeks.
And then, also, before we go to Texas,
we're going to take a trip to see some friends in Idaho.
Oh, we're going to be so busy.
My mom's throwing a fundraiser to benefit DAAA.
We, unfortunately, won't be in town for it.
But I'm sure my mom's gonna throw a great fundraiser.
You wanna sleep out again?
Okay, are you gonna cry?
[Zach and Tori laughing]
We're having a great time on the beach with the family.
The family loves the beach,
and it's fun just watching the kids play
and have fun like that.
-[Tori] Lilah! -[Jackson panting]
[Tori] Go, sis! Go, sis! Go, sis! Go, sis!
[Zach] It's important to cherish these moments.
You know, your kids are growing up.
-So fast, they grow up. -You know? Yeah.
They grow up fast, so...
They're not gonna wanna go horseback riding with mom in a couple of years.
Yeah, or they're just not gonna be that excited about it the same way
-they are when they're kids. -Yeah.
Siah-siah, are you at the beach?
Whoo!
[Zach] You know, we have three kids that have dwarfism,
there's gonna be maybe a higher possibility
that they're gonna need some sort of
surgery or something like that.
But that's just gonna develop good resilience in them
and our kids are doing great.
And these family moments are just family moments
that we can all enjoy each other's company.
[Tori] Jackson!
Wow!
These clothes are gonna get thrown away after this experience.
[Chris] So, this was Matt's suggestion for the shooting gallery.
Put a couple of boards across and then, build a top.
You've got a lot of work to do, just on this activity.
-I know, I do. -Right. [chuckles]
We're hosting a fundraising event along with Matt and Caryn.
And it's gonna be on the farm.
The charity we're supporting is Dwarf Athletic Association of America.
Yeah, this stuff's gotta go, man.
Shoot!
Right now, we're only a couple of weeks away, and so,
we're just getting together to meet with them,
because there's certain things that we need to get done
in a matter of like [chuckles] a week and a half, two weeks.
-[dogs barking] -[Amy] Hi, Daze.
Well, let's hope the fundraiser day's weather just...
-Oh, yeah. Wouldn't that be nice? -...like this.
[Amy] We were going over some stuff.
Just where the activities are gonna be placed.
I think bocce ball would be great there,
but that's too much in the way.
So, I'm gonna turn bocce ball just on the other side of this barn.
[Caryn] Okay.
So, the charity event is coming up,
everybody has their own things they need to do.
Amy's in charge, period. [chuckles]
Catering, and the whole event.
I am doing decorations,
Matt is in charge of getting the facility ready,
and Chris is helping Amy and then, doing his shooting gallery.
[Matt] Now, I went ahead and put one table out.
I put this here just to, um,
see what condition they were in.
I think we all just want a great event that,
not only do people have a good time at,
but they have a good time in wanting to give.
-[laughing] -And part of that is making people feel the atmosphere,
feel, you know, the purpose and why we're doing all this.
So, this is the size of the tables.
-But I think it's a six-- Six foot. -Six foot.
The central location for the charity event is gonna be the wedding barn.
We're really focusing on what needs to happen inside the wedding barn
to get it ready for the event.
Well, I think today, primarily, is what needs to come out of the barn,
and where's the band gonna go,
where are the auction items gonna go.
So, it's more about, you know, really getting a vision on the setup.
Hey, we're gonna gonna move all that stuff, are we?
What I was thinking is, those apparatuses there,
right there, underneath the umbrella,
-we're just gonna put those behind that wagon. -[Amy] No.
Matt, I need enough room for seven tables.
-Right, we... -[Amy] We're barely gonna make it.
[Matt] Amy can be stubborn.
[laughs] Bless her heart. Yes.
Well, I think for me, one of the things that I thought about was,
Matt moves quick.
He'll turn over one stone, and then he's turning over another stone,
but have we finished this stone?
No, we gotta keep this going, and that going, and that...
I mean, our life moved fast.
For me, sometimes, a little bit too fast.
So, that's why I decided right up front, I'm taking charge.
Can we, like, push it back?
-[Caryn] We can try. -'Cause this has to go.
-That would be easier than moving the other wagon. -No, this has to go.
[Matt] Amy wants me to move the stagecoach.
And I don't think she has any idea how much work goes into an event like this.
Phase one is, move everything.
Reposition things.
And then, phase two is cleaning.
Blowing and get all the cobwebs, cleaning the windows.
And then, phase three is staging it.
Okay.
[Amy] Matt has got a lot of things in his brain,
going in all different directions.
But I need this direction to happen.
So, Caryn, well, I'm hoping you make it happen.
[Caryn] And then, you were still gonna do photos,
-and I was gonna print out a big DAAA logo. -Yeah, that...
That, I... Jeez, I gotta figure out where that'll go.
She's got time to be over in my lane,
I see some way bigger issues.
There's no agenda, which is kind of, you know,
what you work from.
I don't think we have that from Amy yet.
Yeah.
[Caryn] Okay, so maybe, I'll draft something that's gonna go out
to everyone who has RSVPed yes.
Look it, here. These are the people.
I definitely let the kids and Zach and Tori
know that I was putting on this fundraiser for DAAA.
You know, let them know what their mom is doing.
Zach and Tori, you know, they'd let me know they probably weren't able
to make it 'cause they already had a planned event that weekend.
That's a bummer. I wish that they would be there.
[Matt] I'm gonna sit down.
I recently went through a little health scare.
I just had a procedure done
where they go down and check your esophagus.
And got a little scary because when they went down,
they realized they wanted to stretch the esophagus,
there was a couple of tight spots.
Apparently, they stretched it so far
that they broke through a couple of layers of my esophagus,
almost perforated the entire thing.
-I don't remember much. -I know.
You were like, out.
Like, there was panic in the room.
[Caryn] It was just-- It was a weird vibe.
But it was okay, and I'm much better.
And actually, I'm noticing an improvement.
My food goes down a lot better than it did before.
What's in the box?
Easy breezy.
Games. Fun and games. [chuckles]
And rats. [chuckling]
-And what? -Rats.
I'm spending most of my time putting together this shooting gallery.
I may have, um, volunteered without thinking.
[hesitates] Yeah, when I said this will be a good idea.
It... It actually has taken a lot of time.
Today, I'm glad I get a chance to try it out with--
-Guinea pigs. -Yeah. [laughs]
If you squeeze halfway, it will shoot one at a time.
If you squeeze all the way, it will shoot both.
-Oh! She got it! -[Chris] Oh, almost.
-[shoots] -Oh!
[continues shooting]
-[Amy] I can't drop it out there. -Turn around.
-Get away from me. -[all laughing]
I think handing Amy and I each a weapon
is maybe not the best idea. [laughs]
Okay so, let me make sure I got this straight in summary.
-The Volkswagen for sure is moving. -Yep.
-[Matt] The stagecoach is gonna move. -Yes.
But that's gonna move at the last minute,
because I don't wanna have it out in the weather.
Look at this. Our event is here.
-[gasps loudly] -So, we're here.
-Good gosh, how did that happen? -I need stuff gone from here.
-At least by mid-week. -Jeez, okay.
There's only 14 days left until the actual fundraiser.
And it does feel like a lot to do,
a lot to accomplish in those two weeks.
The number one thing is to get the barn ready for this event.
So that we can actually put this fundraiser together.
I wanna lay out tables, I wanna lay out chairs,
I wanna get a visual as to what else we may need...
-Yep. -...to make this doable.
[Amy] Coming up...
Do you feel like things are going well?
The only one, really, that we don't see is Zach and Tori.
I really don't understand still Zach and Tori's,
you know, "We will not come to the farm,"
except maybe when Zach needed to dump his trash,
but that's a different story.
One day, maybe that'll change.
You know, who knows?
[Matt] And later...
Where's all my stuff?
Who moved all the stuff?
That's my question.
[Matt] I checked with my guys.
Amy had given them explicit instructions,
much to our surprise, that we weren't aware of.
-Hey, Matt. -I'm very irritated at your wife.
-Thank you for driving. -This weather's so nice, oh, my gosh.
We are so due.
I'm meeting my girlfriend, Wendy, for dinner.
Where would you like to sit?
I'm looking forward to catching up with her.
We have been friends over 20 years.
-I'm gonna go with the drop, the lemon drop. -[waitress] Okay.
[Caryn] I appreciate Wendy at such a deep level.
I mean, she has been there for all the pivotal moments in my life,
the triumphs, and the sorrows, and the divorces,
and the family dramas on both sides.
You know, she's listened to all of my
"Roloff crazy train" as we keep calling it.
So, yeah, we're pretty close.
And I just love her to death.
So, you and I have not talked since the engagement happened.
'Cause the last time I saw was you and Matt.
-And that's such a beautiful ring. -Yeah!
-It's so good. -[Wendy] Really, so you.
So then, you guys are engaged,
and there is going to be a wedding, right?
-Or... -I mean, right now, I think we're like,
maybe in about a year?
We're thinking, like, something kind of small and intimate,
maybe in Arizona.
I was surprised to be engaged. I think that was...
kind of, "Wow!"
So, I hadn't really ever given much thought to a wedding.
Um, we'd talked about it here and there,
but Matt would run down to the courthouse tomorrow
if I said, "Hey, let's just go do this."
And we just might. I mean, he-- He's spontaneous.
So, you never know.
'Cause you know I didn't really wanna get remarried.
That was kind of always my thing, like,
-why break something... -Yeah, what do you kind of shifted for you?
Honestly, I think a lot of it was fear,
a lot of it was timing.
-We didn't ever really have a place to live. -Yeah.
-Absolutely. -And then the house, it all kind of culminating.
-And so, you know, I think Brittany was... -[Wendy] That's so exciting.
-...a little bit surprised. -Mmm!
-Well, because I'd been telling her the same thing. -[Wendy] No doubt.
-Right. -Like, I don't think I'm ever gonna get married.
-And then, all of a sudden, I'm like, "Guess what?" -[Wendy] Mmm-hmm.
[Caryn] My daughter, Brittany, she'd asked me,
"Are you gonna get married?" And I was always like,
"You know, I'm not seeing myself in a second marriage."
So, when it popped up, it was kind of a surprise to all of us.
Luckily, we were able to talk through her feelings.
So, it's all healthy and all good now.
I'm sure Matt's kids, even though they didn't verbalize it,
probably went through some of the similar things,
like, "What does that mean?"
Do you feel like things are going well for you guys with...
-You know... [sighs] I think it's so different. -...the kids?
I'm kind of all all-in kind of a person,
-and so, when Matt and I were dating... -Yeah.
...I was all-in with the family and the kids,
and probably, um, too close?
Well, you were in a unique situation.
-To have, you know-- Because you were working there... -That's true.
-I've known them. I knew them before. -[Wendy] You've knew...
Absolutely.
[Caryn] I think we've learned a lot this last couple of years about
offering advice,
but then, standing down.
Like, I... He really had me included in everything.
And it went badly.
And I included myself over and wanted to be so...
And it went badly.
-[Wendy] Yeah. -So, I'm more fearful now.
Like, I've definitely taken a step back.
-You know, so, it changes. -[Wendy] Yeah.
And you gotta learn from everything that happens.
Blending families, that's a tough one.
Some go better than others.
In my case, I've learned that
boundaries are healthy in second relationships.
I don't have any regrets about the relationship that existed
and getting close to the kids.
But, um, I learned a valuable lesson
that maybe sometimes less is more.
So, I'm treading lightly.
Everybody reacts differently.
You know, I believe everyone is happy for us, overall.
We were just up to see Molly and Joel.
-Oh, right! That's right. -Yeah, and that was a great visit.
So, the only one, really, that we don't see is Zach and Tori.
Which, that's a shame.
That is a huge shame.
One day, maybe, that'll change, you know? Who knows?
Well, I'm so sorry about that.
I really don't understand still
Zach and Tori's, you know, "We will not come to the farm, no matter what."
Except maybe when Zach needed to dump his trash.
But that's a different story.
That's what they gotta do, that's what they gotta do.
I'm not living or dying by it.
My expectations are very low when it comes to them.
My hope is that things will soften over time.
But they have to live their life the way that
they see fit.
Hopefully, the adult kids can all handle it.
I mean, I'm sure there are some hidden emotions out there that are happening.
-Like, you know. -Yeah, and maybe I don't need to know all of them.
-Right? -Right! And isn't that so true?
I mean, this is your life.
-This is you and Matt's. -[Caryn] Yeah, this is me and Matt's.
[shuffling]
[groans in frustration]
I put a whole thing together of Roloff Farm goodies for the auction.
I went through all the boxes, and now it's gone.
So, the stuff that we want out is still here,
and stuff that I need has been taken out.
Where's all my stuff?
Who moved all the stuff?
That's my question.
And there was like, no organization to it. So...
Yeah, I don't like the fact that, um,
somebody came in here and moved a bunch of stuff around.
-I know what happened. -What?
[Matt] Amy, behind our backs, started giving instructions to my guys.
That really frustrates me.
Amy, Chris, Caryn and I had a little powwow in the barn about a week ago.
And we talked about what needed to be done.
And most of it, we had planned to execute today.
I checked with my guys,
and I pretty much confirmed what I suspected,
which was, Amy had given them explicit instructions.
And my guys thought,
"Well, Amy's said it, we better do it."
You know? And so, they cleaned out,
they did a bunch of stuff,
much to our surprise, that we weren't aware of.
[Caryn] I know that I had taken a box for the auction
and got all kinds of merchandise from pumpkin season
to put in a basket.
And I had the basket sitting over here and it's gone.
I was frustrated and surprised that the stuff was moved.
I'm sure she didn't mean it,
But I have no idea where Amy said, "Hey, move this stuff out."
She probably didn't know where to tell them to put it.
So now, it's like double the work
because we don't know where stuff is, so...
-I'm not sure who's in charge of this event now. -[both chuckle]
-[Matt] Yeah. -I know it's not me.
We didn't have to move anything.
She's changing her mind as we go.
-Hey, Caryn! -Hi, Chris, how are you?
Good. Hey, Matt!
Hey. Um...
-I'm very irritated... -[Chris] Why?
...at your wife.
What?
-I'm very irritated... -[Chris] Why?
...at your wife.
What?
Because all this movement, we didn't know about till just now.
She gave instructions to my guys,
and they moved all this stuff and they weren't supposed to.
I just asked them and they said, "Oh, Amy gave us a list."
-Oh! -[Matt] Yeah.
I'm surprised. I didn't think she, you know...
I thought she was leaving that up to you.
-I didn't know that. Yeah. -Yeah. Yeah.
[Chris] Amy's busy with the grandkids,
so I'll be helping out setting up today.
But when first I got there, Matt was a little upset with Amy... [chuckles]
thinking that she'd overstepped and was telling his guys what to do.
That was, you know, his people doing the work,
his stuff in the barn,
and I'm sure that, you know, he had an idea of what should go where and when,
and I would've been very upset too.
But it is the first time that I've seen Matt express himself that way about Amy.
Oh, man, I'm sorry that caused a problem for you.
I'm sure in Amy's mind, she thought she was taking that off of your plate
-by just, you know, so that she didn't have to do it. -[Matt] Yeah.
Yeah, I like all instructions with the guys to go through me
so that I can pace it properly.
You know? 'Cause then they don't get the stuff I ask and...
I mean, I don't even really wanna go through it with you guys
'cause then, they'll make the same mistake again.
-That when-- -Well, just trust me.
-I'm not gonna be giving your guys any instructions. -[Matt chuckles] Okay.
-[Chris chuckling] -[Matt] Okay, thank you.
I'm gonna get the guys to move some stuff.
And then, maybe you and Chris can move that round table.
-Let's do our placement. -[Chris] Sure.
I thought, "Well, you know, Chris is a big boy.
He can handle me being honest
that this was frustrating."
I'd just walked in moments before he had.
So, I don't feel bad about, you know,
letting Chris know what was wrong
because he would do the same thing with me.
So, I want you to spin these haybales.
[man] Grab it.
Yep, I'm gonna see how this is gonna work.
Lot to do already, and yes,
I don't do it. I get guys to do it,
but they're off of other tasks that are their...
what they're hired for.
Put one about where that hay is,
so we're gonna see how many we can get in that row.
[Caryn] Well, and time is money, right?
These guys are on the clock,
-and you got three guys, do the math that's... Yeah. -[Matt chuckling] Yeah.
-Adds up. So, that was a little bit of a... -Yeah.
[sighs deeply]
All right, guys. Thanks a lot. Appreciate your help.
[man] Yeah. No problem.
So, we got a lot going on in here.
So, the band, the catering, the bar,
-the check-in. -Yeah.
[chuckles]
The way it was pitched to me was we were just gonna eat in here,
and that the catering was gonna be out there.
All of a sudden, rules of the thing have changed, so...
Well, we had good reasoning for that.
Because, it's Oregon. It could rain.
And then, the second thing is, we wanted it to feel like everybody's together.
-Not outside. -[Chris] Yeah.
-Sort of, you get lost. -Yeah.
To pull off an event like this, I mean, we all need to be working together.
So, when something like this happens,
you know, it becomes a little more clear that we're not always all on the same page.
Amy's gonna be at the farm tomorrow,
so I definitely wanna ask her why is she
giving instructions to my guys without my knowledge.
Well, I have to go locate all my auction items,
'cause those have just disappeared into thin air.
[Matt sighs] Oh, boy.
[Chris] I don't feel like it's a catastrophe.
You know, if there are apologies that need to be said,
get it said and then move on.
We've still got a lot to do.
But somewhere along the line, there was some miscommunication.
I just know there's always two sides to every story,
and looking forward to running it by Amy to hear her side.
We made some headway, so...
-Till the next meeting. -[Caryn and Matt] Yeah.
-Until the real boss is here. -[Chris] All right. All right.
[laughing] Yeah. Yeah.
[Caryn] All right. Thanks, Chris.
Nope. Nope. Lilah, we're not gonna swim, okay?
I love how they still always like, "Dad said.
He said it was okay."
-Um... -They just do that same with you, though.
They always tell me, "Mom said. Mom said it was okay."
[chuckles]
Well, it just got delivered.
[Tori] Wait, that was fast.
Go get them!
-[Tori] They're on the front porch. -Go, run, run, run!
Find a ball pump too.
I've ordered some stuff for DAAA's soccer event in Austin, Texas this summer.
But then, some of the items are also for the shop.
-I mean, I can't even say... -No, Daddy's gonna do this, okay, Jackson?
'Cause I don't wanna pop this or...
[Tori] These are not for upstairs.
-Yes? -These are for the upstairs in the shop.
This is actually for DAAA though, right?
-These are for DAAA as well. -[laughing]
[Zach] We're gonna be playing futsal at DAAA this year for the first time.
It's like soccer, it's an indoor type of soccer.
These balls are harder though, so they don't bounce.
They're like, almost like a medicine ball.
-I wanna try. -Oh, wow.
It's gonna take a minute.
Uh-huh, I'm going.
Futsal balls are a little different than normal soccer balls.
Which also, you probably shouldn't have up there.
I think the ball being in the shop is fine.
I'm gonna say that if you were to break the wall,
you'd be mad at yourself.
So, that's why we use a futsal ball, not a ball that bounces.
-Ball stays on the ground, and the baseballs... -But futsal's heavier.
But the baseball boards are strong.
I'm super stoked for the shop to be done, though.
And I'm ready to get everything in there and get it all set up,
-for living and working. -For living?
-Yeah, living. -Oh, dear. I'm never gonna see you again.
The dream would probably just be a cool hangout.
-Foosball! -And we're getting a foosball table.
Me for sure.
Daddy loves foosball.
Oh, and a LEGO table.
That room is what, like 20x20, isn't it?
-None of those comments, none of those, like... -[laughs]
Those comments are what like, like just...
You don't have room for that.
Should we go back in the shop and show Mom what we're designing?
Jackson's very excited about the new space and everything we're gonna do.
-Are we gonna play soccer in the shop? -Oh, no more snakes.
[Zach] And nothing's connected right now, guys.
Downstairs, it could just be a workshop area.
You know, I'm gonna put a workbench in there.
Ay, Jackson. Right here is the soccer field.
Where's your office?
[laughing] There's a soccer... Right here's a soccer field?
Is that what you're...
This is gonna be our soccer lines.
Upstairs, primarily, will be for the boys.
-Upstairs and downstairs. -I just really wanna know when that switched though.
Because wasn't it, originally,
-"this shop is for storage"? -[Zach] It was.
When did that shift from storage to...
It ended up being such a...
It just started becoming such a cool place.
-Did we do this? -[Tori gasps]
Or was that already here?
-[Tori] Zach. -That was already there. [laughing]
MCC was the Men's Crisis Center at the farm.
It's gonna have similar properties to the MCC. [chuckles]
Just a place where you can hang out, if you want,
tinker with stuff, do projects, no judgement.
Could be for all of our kids though, eventually.
Lilah's gonna be welcomed in there too,
and Josiah, so...
But, yeah, it's gonna have a similar vibe as the MCC.
[Tori] Zach, this was the best idea though.
-[Zach] The shop? -[Tori] I was a little hesitant at the beginning.
I thought it was a little bit unnecessary.
Not unnecessary, big.
I usually go too small.
But I knew it, you gotta go big now.
I wanted to maximize the space, you know?
When the shop is done, it's another step in the direction
of creating a cool space for the kids
to be able to explore and grow up.
I had a pretty cool space to grow up when I was a kid
and I want them to have that, and I think they will here.
Let's leave before we break something,
and the contractor gets mad at us.
[Amy] Coming up...
You know that she didn't do that, right?
I said, "Hey! I just wanted to give him a heads up."
I had specific instructions that were different than what happened.
So, I don't know why all of a sudden she's all Miss Deniability.
You know?
Somehow, the signal got crossed.
-Hey, Caryn. -[Caryn] Hi, how are you?
Amy's right behind me.
Her and Daisy are coming separately 'cause I'm gonna, uh,
stick around and work a little bit on my project.
-[Caryn] Oh, she's pulling in right now. -[Chris] Oh, there she is.
-Yeah. -[Caryn] I got the ring toss.
I'd show you and see if you guys think that's gonna be
-a decent game. -[Chris] Okay. Wow.
[Amy] Okay, what is this?
-Oh, her ring toss. -[laughs]
You have to elevate small...
-Small, medium and then large. -Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
All right. I'll just get things to put on top of here
-so these are higher in the back. -Yeah.
-[Caryn] All right. -[Amy] Okay, I heard there was a mix up here.
[Caryn] Yeah. I just thought Matt told the guys to do it.
[Amy] Well, see, so did I.
I just don't think Matt clarified with any of them.
Matt was definitely irritated with Amy yesterday.
And the basket that I put together of all the Roloff Farm merch
is still MIA.
I don't know the whole story.
I'm hearing different stories.
Was it her fault, was it not.
That's just something I don't wanna be a part of. [laughing]
So, no, I think this looks great.
-I mean, don't you? -It'll be fine.
Yesterday, I was watching grandkids. So, I couldn't be here
when Chris, Matt and Caryn were here
cleaning out the barn for this fundraising auction that we're doing.
So, some of the help here,
I think they took out too much, not enough,
I'm not sure.
And everyone said that I told the workers here to do it,
I gave them this whole big list.
And I'm like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, let's just stop right there."
Would you like the portapotties right here?
And then, they would just walk in and walk out,
and then, the wine barrels here.
But you can still kind of see it, you know?
'Cause it's tall, so they're not looking for it.
[Matt] You guys got it all figured out?
You're not moving any more of my stuff, are you?
You know that she didn't do that, right?
-[Amy] I didn't do... -No, she gave the guys instructions.
-[Amy] No, I did not. No, I did not. -[Chris] No, she didn't.
I did wanna make it clear that was a difference of opinion on what had actually happened.
And I just wanna make sure that he really understood
the other side of that story.
She didn't give those guys... She didn't talk to your guys.
[Amy] I didn't talk to nobody!
I had specific instructions that were different than what happened.
To Amy, not to anybody else, I just said, "Wait for me."
So, I don't know why all of a sudden she's all Miss Deniability.
You know? [chuckles]
-You talked to Jacob. -[Amy] This was weeks ago.
And I just said, "Hey, I'm hoping that this is done.
But you know what?
You talk to your dad, your dad will tell you what to do."
Okay, well, they didn't get that memo.
[Amy] My youngest son, Jacob, has been working on the farm for quite some time.
And I just gave him an idea of what I'm hoping,
you know, will happen to get the farm and the barn ready for this fundraiser.
-[Matt stutters] I mean... -Well, maybe you didn't clarify with him.
-Yeah, but I guess they had did it before that. -[Amy] 'Cause you told me...
-They didn't, Matt. -[Matt] Okay.
Jacob's kind of manager over with the guys,
and so, Amy got to Jacob's ears
and said, "Oh, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do this, this and this."
Sooner the better, kind of thing.
So, lot of stuff got moved.
Somehow, the signal got crossed, but...
I said, "Hey!" I just wanted to give him a heads up.
I wanted to bring up so many examples, you know?
But it's not a fair fight, you know,
when you're so far ahead in terms of the facts.
Well, that must've got triggered...
Anyway, the guys and stuff got...
Like I was gonna keep the stagecoach, 'cause it's gonna rain this Sunday...
I don't think we're gonna have a rain.
If it does anything, it's just gonna drizzle.
I just wanted to make it crystal clear...
-Crystal clear. -...I did not do what Matt said I did
in the way he said it.
I wanna make it crystal clear that I would like to thank you for your telephone apology
the next day about that.
And that apology meant everything.
-So, all that-- -Did I say that? No.
-Slap my face. -The denials now.
Slap my face.
The reason I remember it so distinctly,
because Amy's not been known...
-Oh, yes, I have. -...for being apologetic.
You're the one that doesn't take ownership or apologize.
-What I meant to say... -He doesn't apologize.
-He doesn't take ownership. -I'm sorry.
It's always...
That sort of came down to as miscommunication.
-Yeah, miscommunication, right. -[Chris] Yeah.
In full communication, I have a list still of things,
strings need to be done, trashcans with bags.
[Matt] Who's gonna do that list?
-[Caryn] You. -Was that-- Me?
-It's getting the barn ready. -[Matt] Oh!
-Oh, yeah. -We still need stuff to get the barn ready.
Moving the bistro table.
Okay, yes. Yes, we're geared up for that.
It's awkward when anybody is not getting along in your presence,
let alone your new fiancé and his ex-wife.
That probably caps it.
But as long as they're not going to blows,
actual physical altercations, I'm just gonna stand down.
Okay, I'm gonna go to work 'cause they're waiting for me.
I think I'm used to Matt, being married to him,
you know, pouncing on me a lot.
So, I think I'm probably a little more reactionary
of him thinking I suddenly caused this whole chaos and mess.
It's like, "No, it wasn't me. Move on. Next."
I'm hoping this is our one and only major hiccup.
But, you know, we'll wait and see.
[Matt] All right.
[Amy sighs] Oh, man.
[Matt] Coming up...
Are the kids coming to the fundraiser?
You know, Zach and Tori said no.
Well, it would've been nice if they'd have been here
just because it's supporting them.
-[Michelle] Right, especially... -That's the part that
kind of blows my mind.
I'm very disappointed, honestly,
with Zach not planning to be at the event.
I think it's sad.
[Caryn] Trash cans.
You guys can hang this.
[Michelle] Okay, we will.
[Caryn] And then, here is the nails and the hammer.
Okay?
It is in here or no?
Yeah, that can go in there.
So, the charity event is four days away.
And my parents decided to fly in from Arizona.
Obviously, I'm marrying a little person,
and they've known Matt for a long time.
They know Amy, they know the children,
they know the grandchildren.
And this was very important to them.
And they felt like, "Hey, we wanna be a part of it, we wanna support them."
Give me a kiss. You give me a kiss.
-[blabbering] -[laughs]
[Caryn] Also, little Liam, he's with us today.
He is my grandson.
He's almost two years old.
And he had to come with me today, on Fridays,
'cause I watch him every Friday.
So, along with me, my parents are also on babysitting duty.
-Well, you guys got good weather. -Yeah.
-Oh, great weather, we got great weather. -Not as hot as Arizona.
[Roger] Pretty warm down there now.
How is Arizona? I know you guys still see Honey a lot.
-[Matt] Thank you, guys. -[Michelle] Yeah, we enjoy that.
-She's so sweet. We just love her. -[Roger] Yeah.
[Matt] Unfortunately, my dad passed away last summer.
And Roger and Michelle, Caryn's parents,
live very close to my mother.
They are quick to jump over and...
They run my mother to her doctor's appointments,
errands, you know, help her with everything.
So, yeah. They're wonderful, wonderful people.
And very, very appreciated
in how they step in and help my mom.
You went to dinner with her the other day, and was it Father's Day?
[Michelle] Yeah, we had dinner with her Father's Day.
-Happy Father's... Oh, I told you on the text. -Yeah.
But happy in person, you know?
You know, at some point, you gotta start calling me "dad," right?
-[Caryn] Oh, my gosh. -[Michelle] Oh, yeah.
-Pops? -Yeah, Pops.
We're very happy that you're engaged.
Oh, yeah, okay. Thank you, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it was a little weird.
One minute, you're saying you got a ring,
but you're not gonna ask her to get married.
But I said to you... You know, I gave you your blessings at that time,
but then you went ahead and popped the question.
Well, I took your kind of sort of blessing and ran with it.
-[Roger] Yeah. -[laughs]
Matt came to us and said that he had a bought a ring
and that he was gonna present her with it,
but his intentions were not to ask her to marry him at that time.
But in any case, I said, you know, "You have our blessings."
And so, the next day, they sent us a text,
-and they were engaged! -[Michelle] Yeah.
I thought he was gonna come back to me to ask, you know,
for my hand in that.
But it didn't matter. You know, we love Matt.
I think he's a great guy.
[Matt] I've been meaning to debrief with you guys about that
because, you know, I felt kind of bad because...
that was honest, what I told you that night, was the truth.
That was where my head is.
In fact, I was talking to you about what are the words,
-you know, how to say-- -Right, how to say it.
[Matt] When I had the ring and went down to Arizona,
I asked Roger and Michelle, when Caryn was out of earshot,
I said, "Hey, I got a ring for Caryn, but I'm not... It's gonna be a promise ring.
And I'm not sure when or how." So, I asked Michelle,
"Give me some words," you know, 'cause Caryn's mom's really good with words.
So, her mom was coaching me on how to say "promise ring",
and how to say, "Oh, you mean so much to me."
And I thought, "Those words are great!
Those words might actually fit like a full blown proposal."
You know? I didn't say that to her,
I just like, listened to her, you know?
But they didn't know I was gonna propose,
because I didn't know!
That was the night before.
I had to convince them that I didn't know.
I wasn't just keeping it a secret.
And they're like, "Ha, ha, you're pretty good, Matt Roloff."
And I said, "I didn't know either."
[both] We're very happy.
-Okay, well, thank you. -We both are very happy.
-You have our blessings. -Appreciate that. Thank you for that.
Thanks for coming and supporting us.
-It's really nice to have... -[Roger] Well, it's important.
So, are the kids coming to the fundraiser?
You know, Isabell will be helping out.
Of course, Molly and Joel are up in Washington.
They come later in the summer, but not for this.
And then, we didn't really ask Jeremy and Audrey,
because it just didn't seem like that was...
But they're helping in a way, in terms of the auction items.
And then, Zach and Tori said no.
I didn't ask 'em, Amy did, but they came up with some reason.
It's an unfortunate thing,
but everybody has to live their life the way they wanna live their life.
-Probably would've been nice if they'd have been here. -Yeah.
Just because it's supporting...
Right. And especially supporting...
-[Matt] That's the part that kind of blows my mind. -...the little people. Yeah.
I'm very disappointed, honestly,
that Zach and Tori couldn't figure out how to be here.
Given the fact that Amy specifically picked, you know...
purpose that was good for...
I would've liked to have seen, you know,
if Tori didn't go because of the baby, that would be one thing,
but Zach not planning to be at the event
is... I think it's sad.
You know, when Amy conceived it,
I think she had Zach and Jackson in mind.
You know, but, it is what it is.
I think there's, call it space, between Zach and Tori.
Caryn and I have definitely gone on longer than I've expected.
I'm always hopeful, and hoping that, you know,
things could sort of patch back up again.
But I think that healing is a two-way street.
And there's been a lot of significant events that we've had
that they don't come to,
and that's the sad part, you never get all that time back.
[Matt] Next on Little People, Big World.
Jackson, are you ready to play DAAA?
[Zach] This could be the year Jackson kind of puts it all together.
There's gonna be challenges up ahead, they recognize,
you know, that they have dwarfism.
Which two sports are you gonna play though?
Are you gonna--
Yes!
Kids on the soccer field have pointed out like, he's short.
He's starting to connect the dots.
But I think he's still very young and not fully aware of why.
Tori and me will answer his questions if he comes to us,
but we're not gonna make it too big of a deal.
-Are we going eight? -[Amy] Yep, we have to.
It's the day of the fundraiser,
and now we're in chaotic mode.
-Well, I gotta go. -Go!
This is the point where the whole thing could explode.
-Amy is not back? -Check-- No!
[Caryn groans]
[Matt] People are gonna be arriving soon.
It's crazy.
Pretty soon, I'm gonna lose it.
[Caryn] I'm pretty stressed at the moment.
People are arriving. I don't think we're quite ready.
If the timeline is going the way it is right now,
this is not gonna be good.
