WooW! Ben & family have done it again! I work at a large homeless shelter in Dallas, Tx & your family draws about 250 people every week to see your videos. Such inspiration for them all. They make snacks & sit quietly waiting for the video. Your family has been voted Number 1 American Family here in Dallas! You just can't imagine how much your videos impact our Residents. From the gardening, cooking, home projects to love & compassion each family member has for the others. Just awesome what you & your beautiful Meg have done! Your family is Royalty in Dallas! lol, Lots of Love!
Cheers for the Hollars and the homeless, needy in Dallas(and their providers/service assisters) who are lucky to get a near daily glimpse of a real American homesteading family, who have life near perfectly figured out/lived, and tolerate those of us who always want more...more....more!!!!
My dad had one just like that he poured the sidewalks for our yard and the next door neighbors on both sides. That how people did back then the neighborhood bought the cement and dad made the forms then they all worked together to get the job done.i only had sisters but we were. Out there helping . I wish people were like that now.
That's what Grandpa & I did. We built what we needed. Some cousins & I helped Grandpa build our 2 1/2 car garage. We attached it on the kitchen side of the house, and added a new back door. Closed the old doorway off. But put a window in its place. Made the old tiny back porch building into a horse tackroom & a freezer room for our extra freezers. Room for 3 saddles, brides & blankets on one wall. On the other wall, we put the chicken and pork freezers. Then inside the new garage we moved our old fridge to the front wall and bought a new fridge for in the house. We built shelves for "vehicle supplies" grease gun, oil, antifreeze, window cleaners, ect. This was in 1969.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sang, "Teach Your Children Well"... Ben and Meg, You are teaching your children VERY Well!!! Thank you for sharing your home building project with your TH-cam viewers!!!
And the lyrics continue: "Feed Them On Your Dreams..." Meg is certainly feeding the children in her kitchen and the family is feeding on their dreams...
A self contained, organized labor force! Wow! Good job guys. This is a project you will never forget. Makin' those memories. Thanks for bringing us along. I built several of my structures, two studios, remodeled two houses, two shops, etc. Mostly by myself tho I did have some help here and there from my boys as well. This is a bit like a walk down memory lane. Mama Meg feedin' everyone, and little Meg was right in there supervising all of it!!! ❤❤
Wow, Buggys hand prints in the cement and Millie cat standing by just flooded my mind with memories of my own daughter and her cat 17 years ago! How wonderful!
I am a big advocate for earthing. I have noticed on many occasions that the children are barefoot. This is fabulous for their health! Most of all like the song from Oklahoma says,” 🎶They are doin’ what comes naturally.🎶”…that’s walking barefoot on the good ole earth.😊👍🏼
Yes....they are Grounded to the EARTH. Best thing you can do.... bare feet on Mother Earth ! Look up Earthing / Grounding. It will improve your Health.
@@colleenallen3382 Oh my gosh Colleen......Today my Earthing / Grounding mat came in! And...I just hooked up my Grounding Mat...45 min's ago. For my bed. I am praying this will improve my Health!
Well done Ben and boys and not to forget Buggie who helped as much as she was allowed. It might not of been "fun" but you all put your backs into it "literally" and got it done.
The boys and Buggy are amazing.. the youngest boy is always right there in the thick of it. He has the homestead bug. The skills they are learning will come in handy in the time ahead. Those are children to be proud of.
Tough feet on your son. Places that foot squarely on top of the shovel and shoves it in the ground like it's nothing! Been reading about going barefoot. It's good for grounding. Meaning the ground gives nutrients to the body that shoes block. Sounds crazy but science exists that support the notion. Cute moment Buggy and dad are hand printing the concrete. Memories being made for a lifetime here.
I was barefoot most of the time at their age, too. It's all fun and games until you step on something that practically cuts your foot in half, which is what happened to me when i was eleven. 😟
I was barefoot most of the time as a child running wild with my siblings and cousins. I m 67 now and barefoot as much as possible out in my own yard until the snow flies!! I m hardly sick. I have a ton of energy for all the yard work, gardening, housework. I m definitely an advocate of grounding and getting a good dose daily of vit D from the sun.
Oh my gosh Judith......Today my Earthing / Grounding mat came in! And...I just hooked up my Grounding Mat...45 min's ago. For my bed. I am praying this will improve my Health!
A huge step forward! Best shot of the video, in the beginning Bug popping out of a hole. Hint: Since you have time, start looking for roofing shingles, broken bags, left overs but still good product. We used this to cover the ground under our deck. No critters digging, snakes don't like to slither across it, water proof. With the slope of the land, under penning could have a door or two for under the floor storage on a clean base. Your kids are learning valuable skills that they will carry through life. Oh, for the shingles, check Lowes, Home Depot, roofing companies. They often have broken bags, partial bags, (all at a good discount) a few here and there any before you know it you have enough.
I may be a grown man but y'all nearly bring me to tears. Watching the whole family work together to build a home is amazing. Most wholesome, inspiring, and all around wonderful content on youtube. Thank you for sharing.
Ben, I’ll bet you and Meg are sure glad that you had your sons first. They are just the right age and strength to build onto your home. I would say that is perfect timing and perfect planning !😉👍🏼
Oh Ben, you have such a reason to be so proud of your boys. I didn't want the video to end. It brought me so much joy at the beauty of all of you working together to build onto your house. The boys have a reason to be proud as well. I am so looking forward to watching this project unfold. I love all you guys and gals!!!
I hand mixed 144 80# bags in a wheelbarrow a couple years ago for a stamped concrete fire pit. I hope I never see another bag of concrete on my place. .I am so impressed with how everyone chips in and takes pride in the project. Well done, Hollar Family!
I’m proud of those boys too! You an your wife raised these kids to never be afraid of hard work, hard work always bring progress… proud of the both of you for putting those important morals into their lives….well done!
I don't who is the luckiest, you and Meg or the kids. You are so lucky to have kids that want to learn and help with every thing you do and your kids are lucky to have parents that will take the time and patience to teach the kids so many things. It doesn't matter what you are doing, in the house or outside, the kids are always involved. What an awesome family.
A family has more Time....and can be a lot 'calmer' and relaxed....when dad or > both parents aren't ... rushing off to work > 9 to 5 for someone else.
I LOVE WATCHING YOU AND THE KIDDOS WORKING TOGETHER, THOSE BOYS ARE HARD WORKING LIKE THEIR DAD AND MOM AND BUGGY WAS RIGHT THERE TRYING TO HELP AS MUCH AS SHE COULD. I KNOW YOU ARE ONE PROUD DAD HAVING THEM RIGHT BESIDE YOU HELPING.
How wonderful to see a father passing skills on to his sons! And was precious that you found a way your daughter could be included too! Many blessings to you and your family!
Everyone working hard together increasing the space for yet another family member is heartwarming! It really reminds me of Ben finishing the house right up to Buggy’s birth. I know it’s not easy but you two are killing the homesteading, self sufficiency, and parenting games!! Hugs, Doc❤
Y'all are teaching those boys so many skills. I raised five kids on my own. Two are boys.. and three girls. Now each one of these grown adults and build a house from the ground up. They can all grow their own food and can and preserve it... A couple weeks ago my son's main water broke on his house. Within a few hours he had it dug up and fixed... All by himself... And his response was thank you mom for raising us to not bi&c& and complain but to get up and get busy.. your kids will be far beyond others when they have their own families..
@@beckykukoski8678 Bare foot is amazing for you. Grounded to the EARTH. Best thing you can do.... bare feet on Mother Earth ! *Look up 'Earthing' / Grounding.

I adore your whole family. Been watching since you found the farm. The boys are magnificent and watching you work together is more inspiring than you know. I’m a solo residential backyard gardener and I love seeing the teamwork!
It's so lovely and healthy to have your kids helping you, they always learn so much and naturally when with good parents, that you both are, you thanked your boys but I saw a gorgeous mini person trying her best to help too, so darn cute
I literally LOL when Buggy said "can I put a foot print" because I heard "butt print"! :) Your kids are hard workers and probably the best construction crew you'll ever work with! :)
I’m loving everything happening with you guys right now..a new baby…all the growth on the homestead..a new build..it’s all absolutely awesome! Wishing you guys an abundance of blessings! Sending love and success your way from your biggest western NC fan❤🙏🏻
You boys CONCRETE!!! Absolutely incredible! Ben you know you and Meg have brought your boys up to be incredibly hard workers and I’m sure any construction crew would be thrilled to hire such hard working men!! God bless! I look forward to watching more of how this beautiful project comes together!🥰❤️🇨🇦🍁🙏🏻
Your boys, young men are a absolute credit to you both. This is all about a real family digging deep to reap the rewards . Biggie is so adorable an love’s to multi tasks wherever she can. I’m so excited to meet the new member of your beautiful family. It’s all so exciting . Thank you for sharing 🙏👏👍
I am absolutely delighted to see you all working on the foundations together, well done all of you, Ben I'm so glad your proud of your boys, learning another new skill, loved the video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy to see your Boy’s working side by side with you like it use to be with family. They are learning so much of life lessons. What a wonderful inspiration to see in today’s world. Keep up the good job.
You amaze me! And I’m so proud of you and Meg! As an older lady... it makes my heart swell seeing you doing what my family did years ago! I’ve watched for years... the teaching and the inspiration you have shared... I can only pray other young couples will join you in making this a lifestyle too. “Pass it on” & Keep on keeping on” ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and soon to be ❤
OMGOSH I ❤ watching a family work 😊. My gson, now 19, used to help his uncle do all the stuff here… bldg greenhouse, fencing, carport on & on . Our mixer, just like yours is in the fenced garden & used to mix my compost, leaves, grass for my raised beds. ALWAYS find a use for things Lololol 🤩 Warms my heart watching all of you ‼️ 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thanks to your crew footings are done you should be proud of those boys they earned it. Good job raiseing that crew Ben and Meg Great getting Lillianna aka Buggys hand prints in the footing you guys rock
Great job boys. Your parents are so proud of you. You have another skill under your belt that will serve you well in the future. Y'all have a Blessed day.
I love that you took the time to put Buggy’s handprints in the concrete. Such a special memory. ❤ My dad did that with my sister and I when I was 4 and sister was 1. 44 years later our handprints were still there. Love everything about your channel!
Your kids will thank you for actually teaching them how to repair & build things - good job Ben! Any chance of seeing a print for the addition- it’s going to be great! 👍
Ben And Meg I have no words to say, what I saw on this video, I think your beautiful kids enjoyed this more then you, and soon you will have another helper, thank your stars because there are not to many kids like that, your are excellent parents good work guys🥰🥰💖💖
Oh, this is so moving, the boys have become young men building the house, what a difference with the previous build when you were mostly on your own ! God bless them:))
I am so enjoying this project with much enthusiasm! This is what family life is all about, working and playing, and can't forget growing together! Just love your channel!!
In my young years, my dad and my brothers did a lot of construction around the place - with concrete work needed sometimes. I was allowed to help mix and such - it was a fabulous learning experience. My dad always included us as much as possible - with the utmost patience one could ever imagine . considering the motley crew he had. Cement and block work was a major part of my upbringing. Not being a total "girly girl" - I loved it, and am so thankful to have had that family work we did. We reveled in the measuring, science and math. My dad raised us on Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and National Geographic. Best. Upbringing. Ever. Such a delight to see it continue on in your generations. You guys so rock.
The lessons your boys are learning will last a life time. What a beautiful family you have even little buggy lends a helping hand. Bless you all ❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶
Kudos to the wonderful parents, but the boys deserve a major compliment. Such hard workers! I guess they are looking forward to some private digs once the addition is complete. I am amazed to see such teamwork in this day and age! Bravo!❤❤❤❤
Having so many strong young men for sons is always a blessing, but especially so for helping with projects like this! They are going to learn so many new skills doing this. Thanks for sharing, I know filming can break your work rhythm but we really appreciate it.
This is exciting...lol. Can't wait to follow your progress. Hope Meg is feeling good in the last of her pregnancy, and wow is little "Buggy" growing! ❤
Your boys sure are hard workers. It's refreshing to see see young people with such a strong work ethic. Ben and Meg, you two are raising amazing kids that's for sure. You should definitely be so proud. Even little Buggy tries to get in there and help out as little as she is. What great parents you are
This was a great video 😊 I wish I could show this to my Dad. He passed away on the 4th of July, but I know he would have loved this. He grew up on a farmstead home, my grandfather, my dad, and his 5 brothers built their home together, start to finish. My grandmother would be in the temporary cabin they used as a home while building the 4 bedroom 2 bath ranch using lannon Stone and red brick. My grandmother would be at the cabin gardening, canning, knitting, and teaching all these gifts to my 3 aunts. My dad proudly told us the stories. The family homestead is still in the family, owned by my Uncle. When I was just a girl, my grandmother taught me how to garden, can, and preserve fruits, meats, and vegetables. Your children will have so much love and pride when they tell their stories decade's from now to their children and grandchildren. Thank you, Ben, Meg, and family. This was such a feel-good video 😊
Your sons are a credit to you and Meg. They work so hard and when dad needs help or Meg they are willing to drop everything and come and help. Not to mention Buggy she is so sweet and is a delight, she loves to help mama around the kitchen and be outside with dad and the boys. Have a lovely week end.
The Hollar family has grown up so much, & I am sure everyone could use a little more space. We are so proud that you are making living space for the family. God Bless you as you work together to increase the size of your home. Love from KY ❤😊
I used to help hubby when we added a room or two on our farmhouse, redo the roof and so on. That was many years ago and I am totally engrossed in your building the addition on and I'm impressed with your boys and Lillianna (aka Buggy). You're a good papa.😊
Wow, what an awesome family you all are! Watching you all working together is like watching a well choreographed event. You all deserve a beautiful home, and that is just what you are going to have. It will be built with bricks and stone, together with love and respect for each other 🏠💞🥰
Man that digging out of the footers after the rain gives me flashbacks. Did that not too long ago. At least yours were small and not super deep. Looking good!
your kids are going to have so many skills just from working along side of you both outdoors and indoors teaching hands on , that's great. They all are so eager to help and learn,You are both so patient . 👍😊
I really enjoyed seeing y'all get your footings done. What an awesome job you and your boys did. Blessed my heart how you worked together. A lot of youth could take a lesson from your sons. And I know you and Meg have raised your children the way that children should be raised. Looking so forward to watching all your progress on your home addition. And I'm an old woman that enjoys seeing this precious family. I pray that each of you know the Lord as your Saviour. And that he blesses you mightily.
Ben, you've got 4 amazing (!!!) young men, a little bug to keep it real and real cute, and a amazing wife to keep it all going with food and love. Wow! Amazing family unit! So excited for you!
WooW! Ben & family have done it again! I work at a large homeless shelter in Dallas, Tx & your family draws about 250 people every week to see your videos. Such inspiration for them all. They make snacks & sit quietly waiting for the video. Your family has been voted Number 1 American Family here in Dallas! You just can't imagine how much your videos impact our Residents. From the gardening, cooking, home projects to love & compassion each family member has for the others. Just awesome what you & your beautiful Meg have done! Your family is Royalty in Dallas! lol, Lots of Love!
WoW.
Cheers for the Hollars and the homeless, needy in Dallas(and their providers/service assisters) who are lucky to get a near daily glimpse of a real American homesteading family, who have life near perfectly figured out/lived, and tolerate those of us who always want more...more....more!!!!
Awesome!!!!
@ginytucker3160 I don’t think the Hollars could receive a higher compliment. Thank you for sharing this story.
@@yoopergardener3508❤🎯👍
As an old lady I find all this fascinating. How wonderful your kids are learning and helping. Ben, you and Meg are great parents.
Another old lady very impressed with this Blessed Family
Except Buggy is old enough to be out of diapers, and it surely looks like a diaper when she was beside the truck.
And another older one - from Canada, where the ground is covered with snow. I enjoyed watching to teamwork.
@@bettyferguson2815
No it doesn't I'm sure she is potty trained by now
I am feeling the same way. The family gives me hope for the future.
You are teaching those kids so many life skills. They can cook ,build ,and care for a home.Yoy and Meg are doing a great job raising your children.

ALL of your children are hardworking like their parents. Great progress this week. May God continue to bless you and your family.
So proud of those young men. This will be invaluable experience for them that they will carry on into their futures. Well done!
I’m a 78 year old woman, raised on a farm. When dad built our house, it was all hands on deck. I helped with cement and the blocks. I loved it

Right ? 😂😂👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Meg, I hope you enjoyed the peace and quiet inside your house while everyone was out working. You deserve peace and quiet.
She was busy...... cooking. Feed them so they have the energy to work. Haha.
Ben, you are giving your children so much knowledge that will benefit them so many ways. Great job !

Yes, imagine how you’ll enjoy watching these videos with the kids when they’re grown…and have kids of their own. Instant legacy!
Digging holes, building forms, mixing concrete, pouring concrete and finishing concrete...........I am so impressed with the boys and Miss Buggy.

My 5month old loves watching Ben. As soon as I turn on your videos, she stops to watch.
Look up..... limit screens t.v. etc. until they are three. (3) Why?
I am absolutely delighted to see you all working on the foundations together, well done all of you, Ben I'm so glad your proud of your boys, learning another new skill, loved the video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi ❤❤❤❤😊
I enjoyed how your whole family (including Buggy) participated in the work. God has blessed the Hollar Homestead and may He continue to do so.
I’m so happy to see your Boy’s working side by side with you like it use to be with family. They are learning so much of life lessons. What a wonderful inspiration to see in today’s world. Keep up the good job.
You amaze me! And I’m so proud of you and Meg! As an older lady... it makes my heart swell seeing you doing what my family did years ago! I’ve watched for years... the teaching and the inspiration you have shared... I can only pray other young couples will join you in making this a lifestyle too. “Pass it on” & Keep on keeping on” ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and soon to be ❤
Y'all are raising some fine young men there ! They all pitched in and y'all did a great job ! Looks great !
Wow you have your own construction crew. From oldest to youngest. Good video much enjoyed.
OMGOSH I ❤ watching a family work 😊. My gson, now 19, used to help his uncle do all the stuff here… bldg greenhouse, fencing, carport on & on .
Our mixer, just like yours is in the fenced garden & used to mix my compost, leaves, grass for my raised beds. ALWAYS find a use for things Lololol 🤩
Warms my heart watching all of you ‼️
👵🏻👩🌾❣️

Thanks to your crew footings are done you should be proud of those boys they earned it. Good job raiseing that crew Ben and Meg Great getting Lillianna aka Buggys hand prints in the footing you guys rock
Great job boys. Your parents are so proud of you. You have another skill under your belt that will serve you well in the future. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Most structures you see were built by men. I so appreciate you guys. What a great bunch of kids you have.
I love that you took the time to put Buggy’s handprints in the concrete. Such a special memory. ❤ My dad did that with my sister and I when I was 4 and sister was 1.
44 years later our handprints were still there.
Love everything about your channel!
Ben you got some amazing young men there,most would have been calling it quits and wouldnt even have tried,great job you guys.
Your kids will thank you for actually teaching them how to repair & build things - good job Ben! Any chance of seeing a print for the addition- it’s going to be great! 👍
Ben And Meg I have no words to say, what I saw on this video, I think your beautiful kids enjoyed this more then you, and soon you will have another helper, thank your stars because there are not to many kids like that, your are excellent parents good work guys🥰🥰💖💖
Oh, this is so moving, the boys have become young men building the house, what a difference with the previous build when you were mostly on your own ! God bless them:))
Your boys will love to hear your praise and pride in the work they accomplished with you. Great job, all!
Ben, you have some hard-working young men there. You should be proud. 😊
I am so enjoying this project with much enthusiasm! This is what family life is all about, working and playing, and can't forget growing together! Just love your channel!!
I'm amazed you guys are doing it yourselves although in a way I'm not, lol. I have no doubt it will turn out fabulous!
In my young years, my dad and my brothers did a lot of construction around the place - with concrete work needed sometimes. I was allowed to help mix and such - it was a fabulous learning experience. My dad always included us as much as possible - with the utmost patience one could ever imagine . considering the motley crew he had. Cement and block work was a major part of my upbringing. Not being a total "girly girl" - I loved it, and am so thankful to have had that family work we did. We reveled in the measuring, science and math. My dad raised us on Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and National Geographic. Best. Upbringing. Ever. Such a delight to see it continue on in your generations. You guys so rock.
The lessons your boys are learning will last a life time. What a beautiful family you have even little buggy lends a helping hand. Bless you all ❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶
Kudos to the wonderful parents, but the boys deserve a major compliment. Such hard workers! I guess they are looking forward to some private digs once the addition is complete. I am amazed to see such teamwork in this day and age! Bravo!❤❤❤❤
Having so many strong young men for sons is always a blessing, but especially so for helping with projects like this! They are going to learn so many new skills doing this. Thanks for sharing, I know filming can break your work rhythm but we really appreciate it.
This is exciting...lol. Can't wait to follow your progress. Hope Meg is feeling good in the last of her pregnancy, and wow is little "Buggy" growing! ❤
Buggy sure likes to be in the midst of whatever is going on- inside or out! What a crew!
The way you all work together makes my heart smile AND seeing your children barefoot is the best!
Good job boys, be proud of yourselves. In this entitled society we live in, there aren’t many kids willing to work hard. You boys are awesome.
👍🙏
I’m so excited! I Just can’t hide it! La la la la la! I think I like it!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Go go Hollars! Team work makes the dream work.
Watching you and Meg interact and impart your knowledge and skills to your kids, is such a pleasure to see. If only there were more like you.
Your boys sure are hard workers. It's refreshing to see see young people with such a strong work ethic. Ben and Meg, you two are raising amazing kids that's for sure. You should definitely be so proud. Even little Buggy tries to get in there and help out as little as she is. What great parents you are
This was a great video 😊 I wish I could show this to my Dad. He passed away on the 4th of July, but I know he would have loved this. He grew up on a farmstead home, my grandfather, my dad, and his 5 brothers built their home together, start to finish. My grandmother would be in the temporary cabin they used as a home while building the 4 bedroom 2 bath ranch using lannon Stone and red brick. My grandmother would be at the cabin gardening, canning, knitting, and teaching all these gifts to my 3 aunts.
My dad proudly told us the stories. The family homestead is still in the family, owned by my Uncle. When I was just a girl, my grandmother taught me how to garden, can, and preserve fruits, meats, and vegetables. Your children will have so much love and pride when they tell their stories decade's from now to their children and grandchildren. Thank you, Ben, Meg, and family. This was such a feel-good video 😊
Your sons are a credit to you and Meg. They work so hard and when dad needs help or Meg they are willing to drop everything and come and help. Not to mention Buggy she is so sweet and is a delight, she loves to help mama around the kitchen and be outside with dad and the boys. Have a lovely week end.
The Hollar family has grown up so much, & I am sure everyone could use a little more space. We are so proud that you are making living space for the family. God Bless you as you work together to increase the size of your home. Love from KY ❤😊
I am as proud of your children as you are, they are some really hard working boys. It shows what great parents you and Meg are. Great job Ben!!
I used to help hubby when we added a room or two on our farmhouse, redo the roof and so on. That was many years ago and I am totally engrossed in your building the addition on and I'm impressed with your boys and Lillianna (aka Buggy). You're a good papa.😊
Wow, what an awesome family you all are! Watching you all working together is like watching a well choreographed event. You all deserve a beautiful home, and that is just what you are going to have. It will be built with bricks and stone, together with love and respect for each other 🏠💞🥰
Man that digging out of the footers after the rain gives me flashbacks. Did that not too long ago. At least yours were small and not super deep. Looking good!
your kids are going to have so many skills just from working along side of you both outdoors and indoors teaching hands on , that's great. They all are so eager to help and learn,You are both so patient . 👍😊
I really enjoyed seeing y'all get your footings done. What an awesome job you and your boys did. Blessed my heart how you worked together. A lot of youth could take a lesson from your sons. And I know you and Meg have raised your children the way that children should be raised. Looking so forward to watching all your progress on your home addition. And I'm an old woman that enjoys seeing this precious family. I pray that each of you know the Lord as your Saviour. And that he blesses you mightily.
I did enjoy. I love watching your teamwork. I enjoy building things. At my heart I am a creator. God bless your family.
I just love watching your children and the way they are running around without shoes almost all the time.
I love it when ben said the boys earned coffee 😅. Wonderful 👏
The guys did awesome 👍👍 they worked well together. Even Buggy was helping and did her hand prints too. Can’t wait to see the next weeks work. 👍👍♥️♥️
What a great job on foundation Ben and boys. What a family. Can never get enough. You guys are the perfect example of FAMILY.
Ben, you've got 4 amazing (!!!) young men, a little bug to keep it real and real cute, and a amazing wife to keep it all going with food and love. Wow! Amazing family unit! So excited for you!
I love the fact that Buggy is wandering around like she is the Building Inspector ❤️😍
I didn’t want the video to end
The Hollar Boys Team came together & did a great job getting footers done. Very very proud of all of you!!!
Loved seeing Buggie put her hand prints in the concrete! ❤ It's amazing that these kids will all have a hand in building their home!
