Oh my word, Doris is a great gift giver. The sweaters were lovely,
The tool set for Harrison was a perfect little boy / Daddy's little helper gift. You have many people that love your family and what you stand for. I am looking forward to seeing what happens to the cabin. God bless you 🌻
Those sweaters are adorable! What a sweet lady Doris is.

You know you did a good job when Harrison approves!
Awwww! Doris how sweet of you. Your yarn work is beautiful.

maybe next where you store your extra stuff, put the gravel down and then put pallets down and put your stuff on that so it does not get damaged.
Great family video .
Your yard looks great now. Everyone will enjoy a bigger yard 😊 I love how hands-on you guys are with Harrison, best way to learn for sure!

Happy Birthday doggy! I luv how sweet you 2 are with your babies ❤
All that was sweet you gave mocha birthday 🎂😊 you both have been putting in a lot of hard work I'm looking forward to your winter adventures

The backyard and driveway looks so good
Hens can crow too. 😊 You’re doing a great job! My husband and I are in our late 60’s, born and raised in the country, and we’re still learning new things.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing about the hens and doe the kind words 🥰! Definitely learning everyday, which is a great thing 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Beautiful loving family ❤
Outside is looking amazing 😊 such wonderful gifts for the kids 💜
Nice that you include Harrison. I know it slows you down but what a learning experience for him and thank you for allowing it. God bless you guys. You both have so much patience with Harrison which he will remember and wow what a great kid. Your doing a great job raising your children. 👍🇺🇸💖💖💖💖
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks so much for the kind words about our family 🥰! It does take a little longer to do things, but it's so worth it for him to be involved and learn 🥰. Thanks for your support ❤️!
All the hard work you put into building the green house paid off. Whats in there is doing good. Next year try and get an earlier start in planting. Thanks for a great video.
Yes, those chickens love those table scraps and their own food. You may want to consider building a smaller greenhouse for just your herb garden and keep the big one for just your veggies.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, they definitely love the table scraps and we feel better knowing we aren't wasting food 🥰! Thanks for sharing your idea with us 😊! We might have to do that 😊! Thanks for your support ❤️!
We always called those worms. Nightcrawlers. Mocha is a really good girl.
great job. you dont need a handyman when harrison is on the job.
You got a lot done in your yard looks good!!!
This was so fun. I love watching projects. You're getting your homestead going. You've already done a lot in just a couple years. I know it's hard with you having a full time job. It's great how you include Harrison in all you do. You're great parents. I'm loving the longer videos too. Be blessed. Love your seeet family.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! So glad you enjoyed our video and all of our projects 🥰! Yes, it's hard, but we are enjoying it and making memories with our littles 🥰! Harrison loves helping 🥰! Thanks for the kind words, blessings, and support ❤️! We really appreciate you being a part of our family 🥰!
Hi Jillian it's great watching y'all channel
Hi! Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! So glad you are enjoying our channel 🥰! We really appreciate your support ❤️!
Such a great fun video. Y’all got a lot accomplished.
The other people took the top soil off. Crazy! I’m glad you fixed it back.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, they did and when they were clearing some trees. So crazy and more work, but glad it's fixed 😊! Thanks for your support ❤️!
I received my sourdough starter kit. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! You are so welcome 😊! We really appreciate your order and your support ❤️! Let us know what you make 🥰!
Children learn from Example good or bad they watch & pick up everything around them. You 2 work as a team TOGETHER raising this family. (you are showing great examples of what Loving Parents can do together) I believe we can clearly see THE CHILDREN COME FIRST & family is so important to the both of you. I realize that we only see a very tiny bit of your lives. But even if you were amazing actors you can’t fake how Harrison is becoming a Nice loving little helper. Baby Girl I’m pretty sure will be just as wonderful as her Big Brother. You 2 should never need to explain who is doing what in your videos. Keep up the good work. Always Faith first & Family. Thanks again for sharing this chapter in life. One day your children will be Grown & have a video Diary of their weekly journey of life. They will see how much Mom & Dad worked together to Build a Amazing Life & Family in Alaska. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks so much for taking the time to write these kind words about us and our family 🥰! We really appreciate all of your support ❤️! We do try to work as a team and be as hands-on as we can with Harrison and soon Blakely 🥰! Harrison loves helping and we think it's important he learns certain things and skills 🥰! Thanks for being a part of our family and yes Faith first and Family ❤️! We enjoy sharing with everyone and making memories with our littles ❤️! Thanks for the blessings and same to you and your family 🥰!
Thankyou 😊
❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing.
Greetings to you all. Awesome video as usual. Happy Birthday to Mocha. You did a great job with the hair cut.
It is great to do things around the house to prepare for winter. Our Spring is here. It was really hot for three days. We had 30°C = 86°F. Our weather here is different. There are really no seasons here in Penrith. It goes from Winter straight to Summer.
What I do with my herbs when is: I chop them up and freeze it. They last a long time in the freezer.
You are so welcome for the package.
Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings.
Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Hi Doris! Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure 😊! So glad you enjoyed another video 🥰! Thanks for the birthday wishes for Mocha 🥰! Yes, feels good getting stuff done - Winter will be here before you know it 😄! Thanks for sharing about your weather - that's really interesting and does seem hot for Spring! That's a good idea to freeze the herbs 😊! We will definitely have to do that 🥰! Still so surprised by the package and really appreciate you spoiling our littles ❤️! Harrison is so loving his tool kit 😀! Thanks for the continued thoughts, love, and blessings ❤️! We appreciate all your support 🥰!

Got my sourdough starter yesterday 🎉❤. Harrison got to ride in the digger… fun!! Great job on the landscaping and happy birthday to “motor” lol she’s such a sweet dog! You got a lot done even with little ones, I remember those days but you’re such involved and engaged parents, your children will be well rounded with all the experiences you’re exposing them too ❤ love your channel and again can’t wait to get my sourdough going and I stuck my sticker on my FJ. Cruiser 😂
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Yay! Enjoy it and please let us know how you like your sourdough starter 🥰! Also, please feel free to ask any questions ❤️! Yes, he loves riding and driving with Dad 🥰! Thanks for the kind words about our yard and that's awesome you stuck your sticker there 😀! We really appreciate your support ❤️!
Happy Birthday Moocha 🎂 🥳 🎉
Your channel is great. From Texas to Alaska
So many things to prepare for winter where here we just do a quick drive to the store. I'm from Pennsylvania
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure from Pennsylvania 😊! Yes, definitely lots more to prepare for than when we lived in Texas 😊! Especially, since the weather interferes with shipping supplies to stores. Thanks for your support ❤️!
You need one of those baby wraps so you can carry her easily with you and still be able to use both hands. they make life much easier with small children .
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! We do use the baby carrier sometimes, especially when hiking, but she is not a fan of it 😆! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Harrison is learning so much so much patience!!
Loved this video. Thank you for explaining everything so well. The babies are so adorable.💗💗💗
Taking care of children is a full-time job. I'm a Nanny and I'm dead at the end of the day. I don't know how you, parents do it. I guess it is just love ❤️
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing - being a nanny is definitely a hard job. Yes, it is, but it's so worth it and wouldn't trade it. 🥰! Definitely love ❤️! Thanks for your support ❤️!
What a great video! I love seeing how much you're accomplishing outside, I guess you must feel pressured to get as much done as possible now before you get buried with all the snow.
I love seeing how you include little Harrison in all you do, he will really be a very capable young man when he grows up, just like his Daddy! I was wondering do you know what sizes the littles will be wearing come winter?🥰
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! So glad you enjoyed our video 😊! Ha ha yes we do bc the snow will be coming around next month 😀! Thanks for the kind words about Harrison 😊! We really try to be as hands-on with him as we can 🥰! He loves helping, too 🥰! Harrison is/will be in 2T - he just went into 2T. He's tall and lean! Blakely is small and long and just went into 3-6 month clothes ❤️! Thanks for asking and for your support ❤️!
I love your family 😊I sure enjoy your videos❤ Thanks for sharing 😇 May God Bless your family Richly🌹with much love Miss Pat from Kenosha, Wisconsin 🇺🇸
Hi Miss Pat! Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure from Wisconsin 😊! Thanks so much for the kind words 🥰! We are so glad you are enjoying our videos and family ❤️! We lived in Oconomowoc for 4 years and really enjoyed Wisconsin 😊! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Quvianagli Annivililluqtutin (Northern Alaska Inupiaq Language) HappyBirthday 🎉 Mocha 🕯️
Enjoying your family videos. 😊
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing the Alaskan language with us and for the birthday wishes for Mocha 🥰! So glad you are enjoying our videos and we appreciate your continued support ❤️!
That was a great idea to put that in that little Hut thing to keep your stuff from being wet I don't blame you that little boy he's the cutest little thing and the little girl too but I just love that little boy you are a lovely family I'm glad I'm part of y'all this journey
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, it was a great place for the extra rock we had 😊! Thanks so much for the kind words about our littles 🥰! We appreciate your support and for being a part of our family 🥰!
Consider haskap berries instead of blueberries. They are just like blueberries, but they grow so much better on the Kenai. I planted some blueberries 4 years ago and not one berry. I planted haskaps last year, and I have buckets.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks so much for sharing this with us 😊! That's very interesting and we will definitely have to look into those berries 😊. That's great you have buckets of them 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Nothing beats an asphalt driveway. 🤣 What’s that antenna in the back? You do Mocha’s fur just once a year? I ask because we are cat people. No bread making this time? Great work on driveway! Yes, when are does take hard work! You have to be mentally and physically up for it. Us, not no more. You both are great with Harrison getting him involved with dad’s chores. Unfortunately, I had to work to jobs and was hardly ever to do that stuff, but we did baseball and soccer. No peppers or cukes? Thank you.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! The antenna is our Internet. we usually cut Mocha's hair twice a year 🥰. We will definitely be making more sourdough soon 😊! Thanks for the kind words about our driveway and Harrison 🥰! That's great you spent time with them with sports ❤️! We were late planting this year, so not yet. Thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video 😊!
Just love your videos in England our tree s are changing their leaves looking forward to your next one and Harrison is getting into helping hugs to him
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure all the way from England 😊! We are so glad you love our videos 😊! Yes, fall is definitely in the air 🍁! Thanks for the hugs and for your support ❤️!
Fun to watch you and your growing family. How are you going to keep your chickens warm?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! We will be putting our heat lamps back out soon in the coop, which is a huge help 😊! We also have a heated water bowl and give them extra bedding 😊! So glad you are enjoying our videos and we appreciate your support ❤️!
All three are maled you can tell by their tail feathers
You guys do such a great job including your kids in your day to day. Do you still have the abandoned property with camper that you purchased
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks so much for the kind words about us and our kiddos 🥰! Yes, we still have the cabin and will be working on it in the upcoming months 😊! We had to take advantage of all the nice summer weather and enjoy time together 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Have you made homemade pesto sauce with the fresh basil. It's so good on pizza instead of red sauce ❤️
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! No we have not, but that sounds like a great idea and so delicious 😋! Will definitely have to make it 😊! Thanks for sharing and for your support ❤️!
🙏♥️
What type of roosters are they? They are gorgeous.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, they are 🥰! We got eggs from a multi-breed, so we aren't really sure what they are exactly 😊. Thanks for your support ❤️!
32:40 Hi! Tell me, please, where can I buy such a grid for drying spicy plants?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Glad you like our herb dryer 😊! We got it off of Amazon and it's awesome 😊! Here is the link and thanks for your support ❤️!

@@GoodLivingAlaska Thank you very much! 🥰
Do you ever see bears around your home?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! There aren't too many bears in the area we live in, but there have been one or two spotted! Thanks for your support ❤️!
I must have been a bad mother. Only when making some special treat would I have the children help me. I didn’t have two to three hours a day for each meal with instructions. I would have run out of patience within 5 minutes. 😅
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! You were not a bad mother 🥰! It definitely takes more time when the littles help 😀! Thanks for your support ❤️!
how do you keep the chickens warm in winter ? im thinking of gettn chickens next spring and i always wonderd how i would keep them warm winter months
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! We will be putting our heat lamps back out soon in the coop, which is a huge help 😊! We also have a heated water bowl and give them extra bedding 😊! Best wishes on getting your chickens and thanks for your support ❤️!
you have to be careful because the roosters will kill each other .
We are definitely keeping an eye on them, but they are doing well together ❤️! Thanks for sharing and for your support 🥰!
You need another water bowl, one is not anoth.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! We actually have 3 water bowls for our chickens 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
would it be cost effective to do asphalt? I know it is probably expensive
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! It's pretty expensive to do asphalt here. Most of the roads, that aren't the main roads, aren't even asphalt. They are gravel and the borough comes about once a month and scrapes the roads that are borough maintained. Crazy it's cheaper to do it this way 😀! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Where are you renting your machine?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! There is a rental place in Sterling (next town over) we rented it from 😊. Thanks for your support ❤️!
How old is Harrison?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! He is 2.5 years old and will be 3 in December 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
