At the very beginning of this video, I knew Jeremy would be fine in any conditions while wearing that mac-daddy mountaineer jacket.
Right!
A barn would be awesome for your animals.
Can't wait for more building and adventure to come. Love your Family!!!
Happy new year guys ,can’t wait to see everything you want to do in 2023
Mac daddy 😂
I am remembering your build and there was one day that Kaimani was helping taking the protective covering off the windows and Jeremy helped him off the ladder and Kaimani slumped into dad's arms. I don't know if you knew that would be the last time for dad holding his boy like that. I remember thinking how bittersweet that moment was and it touched me. He has grown so much this year that yeah that was probably the last time. Now is the time for other kinds of memories to be made. For me the most cherished dad memories were hunting, fishing, working on house projects and doing mechanics, it really is when one door closes another opens. I am looking forward to seeing you making those kinds of memories with your kids.
❤️
There are so many bedridden, parentless people who are grateful for all the wholesome videos that you provide.
Thank you for this.
Yes, our local Nursing Home uses this channel to inspire! Thank you so much for continuing the inspiration and ideas with DIY's in mind.
Your kids haven't been sidelined, believe me. They are so full of adventure and you have given them an atmosphere where they can see how dreams can come true, team work makes the dream work, and many other valuable lessons without even trying to. If you have inspired so many followers, how much of an impact have you had on your little ones who know that you are working so hard to give them a forever home? I love watching your kids enjoy their lives. Some people take their kids fishing and hiking because they want to give them a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. I'm sure most parents would love to be able to give their kids a piece of land like you have. I think you are amazing parents. God bless you and your plans for 2023.
My wife and I are in our 60s, we lovingly refer to you as the kids. When you put out a new video we simply say the kids have a new video and we set a time to join you on that journey. We are very thankful for you allowing us into your lives. Yes the kids grow so fast. Being our soul income for many years I missed out on so much so please enjoy them while you can,we can see that you have built a great family structure with them. We love you all. Happy new year!
Aww thank you 😊 ☺️
I’m so surprised you don’t have over a million subscribers, come on people, if you haven’t hit the subscribe and all button get it done!! 🎉Happy blessed 🙏🏻New Year to you All 🎇
It’s been a blessing for all of us subscribers to be able to join you and watch your family grow into the wonderful people you all are, happy new year from the U.K. 🇬🇧
That coat is made for sub-zero conditions..lol Ya'll are like the fine wine, getting better with age, every year better than the past. I love hearing about your future builds and wants, knowing you will go through with them. The idea of separate living quarters, yet not, for the older kids is a grand idea, they definitely seem mature enough to try it anyways. Love ya'll ❤️, Happy New Year ❤️
I wish I had put my work on the back burner more often when my children were young. Your children are very lucky to have such amazing parents. You have both worked so hard the last few years…time to have a little fun! Happy New Year!🎉
❤️
Happy New Year to your family watching your vedio when you start to build your dream house until you move in .
Only real men can wear a buffalo coat and you wear it well. You got a lot done this year and I am glad that you took us along for the ride.😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Many thanks to you all for allowing us all to watch your exciting journey this year, and i'm so loooking forward to seeing more in 2023. Wishing you all the happiest New Year.
Happy New Year to your beautiful family and all the animals! 🎉 It’s only been three years and you’ve built an amazing homestead while sharing with all of us. Wishing you the best in 2023 🎉 Blessings and much Aloha from Oregon 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾🤙
Thank you all for always being you and being here for us to enjoy your journey! Looking forward to the new list to begin! HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR! 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
Grazie ❤️❤️
Where I live in Minnesota it's common to have actual Temps of negative 35. I always waited as long as possible to put winter coats on my horses. The most important thing was to provide them with shelter out of the wind, give them lots of hay, cut back or eliminate grain and make sure they have access to heated water.
PERFECT weather for a "buffalo coat"!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, SOUZA FAMILY!! Sounds like 2023 is going to be a busy year, too, albeit not in quite the same way as years past. My wishes for you all is a blessed, safe, and productive 2023! As always, much love to you all!! ❤️
You guys are lovely, always. This video has me chuckling......Melissa explains things with her non-wine glass hand, whereas I'm watching Jeremy's wine 🍷 slop around, almost jumping out as he expresses himself!! 🤣😂
😆 he needs Mediterranean communication practice. We speak with our hands, but no slosh the wine!
It's hard for me to believe that have followed your channel all these years, and I have watched every post you have put out. You have come far pilgrims and should be very proud of what you all have accomplished in such a short time. Stay warm, and safe through this crazy cold weather.
Thank you so much 💓
Wishing you all a blessed and Happy New Year. Love you all. Stay safe an warm.
They grow so fast. Glad to hear you are going to devote time to involving the kids.
I first came across your YT channel when I was looking for a tutorial on rabbit processing. You were still in Washington. It's been a heck of a journey, but your efforts have all paid off. AND....It's been fun to tag along and watch. Congrats!
Exactly how I found them years back.
I’m reading your post as they started talking about rabbits.
Happy new year. I appreciate you guys as a family I appreciate your service to the community. I like how you guys keep it real. You keep politics out of your videos. You guys involve the kids when you can. You actually work and get things done, unlike some other TH-cam creators they talk about getting things done and make a lot of excuses why they didn’t get anything done. And in real life if you want a drink you have it and you don’t have to hide it. Stay safe. Thanks 👍🏾🙏🏾🍺🎣😷🇺🇸
Thank you so much 💓
Just goes to show that Jeremy's buffalo coat was a NECESSITY!!!
Congratulations on all you’ve achieved thus far, it’s very incredible to see from the onset of buying the property to now having completed your home.
Watching your channel far exceeds anything on commercial television so keep on going. Cheers from Australia where it’s around 100F 🤠👍🇦🇺
Thank you so much 💓
I've learned so much watching your story unfold. Hold on to these years with your children. Build those memories.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING US ON YOUR FAMILY JOURNEYS! Love your YT channel.
I want to thank YOU for allowing us to tag along on your very inspiring journey! You have blessed me in so many ways. You have made me laugh (Jeremy and his buffalo coat!😂), you have made me cheer on your progress, especially in the face of obstacles, and you’ve made me cry - usually tears of happiness and joy at the love you show your family, and the generosity you share with your community! Happy New Year! May it bless you!
Our children were always involved in our building and renovation projects and helping around the home.
Now that they are grown up and have their own lives, they are so efficient and way more skilled then those in their own age group.
Thank you all for bringing us a long on your journey. It has been wonderful. I dream about when I can get out on my little piece of heaven. Thank you all and I am so glad that I found your all's channel
Thanks for letting us come along virtually!!! Happy New Year One and All!!
The chickens quit clucken when ya were working with them lol
The LOOK on those chickens faces... when Jeremy .. in his Buffalo coat ... was sticking the hay in. They must have thought.. It's all over for us!
Step by step guys... you have made SO much progress. Do what you can... but don't do more! LOL... Enjoy the journey.
Thank you all so much for being so loving and really love this situation for everyone..................U all are so amazing..............thank you for everything.............
We built our own property 26 years ago and theirs still little jobs that need to be done or replaced now..we love that your on yt as been with you from the beginning..we have loved watching children grow into what they have become..beautiful...and your house is gorgeous...here's wishing you all great success and happiness in the new year....xx
When you say "Alexa" my Alexa goes into action -- even when I'm not home.
Thank you all for making us feel appreciated. A beautiful video!
We truly do appreciate you 🙏
What an amazing, magical journey you All have been on! You both have created a Homestead to be so proud of! The kids are learning so much about commitment and perseverance and that with hard work, dreams do come true! Happy New Year and cannot wait for the next chapter!
Melissa you guys are a loving caring family who has touched so many lives during your journey and have made many lives better and gave hope to those who needed it. Everytime I watch your videos I get inspired and this year I want to finally take that step to improve and secure the future for my son and myself. That scary feeling of the unknown tends to hold me back but I know that if I don't take that first step then all it will be is a dream. I want to make it a REALITY. Somehow you give me strength and I have learned so much from watching you build your dream. Hopefully I can share mine with you. Thank you so much for everything that you do.❤️🥰
I am thankful for the opportunity to watch your life and be inspired. It all started when I saw a video about Jeremy leaving law enforcement. Now you are one of my favorite family channels to watch! As you work on more projects with the kids, you are teaching them and building memories that they will never forget. When parents teach their kids a good work ethic they are preparing them to be responsible adults. We wish you all a Blessed New Year!
Jeremy,I remember the day you put your uniform and gear on for your final fay as a cop. I was scared for you guys too; but so amazed and proud of the support you gave each other. I hope you are exceedingly proud of your work and your families input. It warms my heart! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks for sitting down and answering the question on everyone's mind : what's next! Love all the ideas you have and it will be fun watching you achieve your goals. Yes for the kid's getting involved. It will be a skill for their future, even if they choose other paths in life, they will be able to fix things. I look forward to every Saturday morning to see what this week has brought, kinda like having coffee with family. Hope you all enjoy bringing in the new year tonight and have a happy, healthy 2023!
Yesterday, my boys were 3 and 8 years old.
Today? 30 and 35. It happened in the blink of an eye. I love being able to watch your children grow. The next horses that find you might just love a barn! Happy New Year!
We love this episode! Our children aren't allowed to play Alexa. This came from our local school system, where the Administration felt, "the process of learning" comes from actually doing the job. I'm sure with the various chores on our rural farm, that Alexa would be an alternative in the future. We could listen to Alexa while milking the cows, churning the butter fat, etc.. Mostly, as participants of our local Baptist Church, our Minister everyday reminds us to be thankful for those things we take for granted, like the Public Library which is only a few short miles from our home.
It's great to see you both enjoying grape juice on the couch together and pray your animals make it thru to cold temps..! It was -22F here this morning and we ran out of wood for the stove. God Bless!
Your “thank you’s” go both ways. It has been such a pleasure to watch you on your journey and your on-line family is so grateful for your hard work, generosity to others and especially your strong family ethics. God bless you all and can’t wait to start seeing those items being checked off the list. Happy New Year!
So glad I found you guys! I absolutely love watching your channel. I love that you are so family focused and that your kids are such kind, caring kids. Memories are all that any of us can carry with us wherever we go so make many of them! The kids and you will never forget or regret them. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Love you all and I wish a Happy New Year with many blessings in 2023.!
Happy New Year to you all. You’re all so inspiring. You remind me so much of my husband and I when we were your age. So ambitious and full of dreams. Now we’re about to downsize from 50 acres to a suburban lot. Hoping to sell our farm in northern Illinois at the Wisconsin border and retire in Florida’s sunny state. So at 66 and husband at 76 we’ll be starting a new home build again. It’ll be our 3rd home build. So much to do.
Wow! Your older son is growing up to a handsome teenager.
Praying the 2023 brings everyone good health, happiness and peace. ❤
I love how you do the animals hay and not shavings for hamsters. You truly love your animals. I know it's cold and getting colder but you guys get snow, here in Oklahoma we get rain 🌧️ freeze 🥶 then snow ❄️ then more freezing rain 🌧️. Very dangerous
You guys are the best! Thank you for letting us come along!💕☺🐴🐑🐈🐓🐕🐇
Yes a barn !!! Happy New Year blessings a plenty in 2023!
LOL, you're driving my Alexa crazy!
😆 sorry
You are a joy to follow as you move thru your new life skills and have built not only a home but are raising up warm loving children, that seem content without all the useless stuff that kids have. You brought us along with you thru the pandemic and continua enjoy watch your family flourish🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️
Only discovered you a few months ago, but watching two and a half years of your videos has been an awesome journey. What I have most enjoyed is finding not just you amazing people, but feeling like I'm a small part of an awesome community. I havn't felt that in a very long time and I can't thank you enough for giving us all a place where we can do some pretty amazing things. Have a very Happy New Year!
Thank you ❤️ I love that so much! Happy New Year Robin 🎆
@@GoodSimpleLiving Happy New Year Souza family!
We lost one of our calves during the cold snap. Although he managed to deal with the two coldest night, so that was kind of unexpected.
Having a stocked pond would be awesome. The pond will freeze even if it’s deep. Blue Lake is 50 feet deep and freezes pretty hard if we aren’t running aerators. So don’t be too afraid of depth in regards to ice skating. Look forward to following the rest of your projects.
Aww I'm sorry
I honestly don't know what I would do without being able to settle down, and come along with you gorgeous people on a weekly basis - and take those moments to truly stop...be still... and bask in the wholesomeness, love, industry, and sheer sanity of your world, when the rest of the world out there has me cowering in avalanches of bad news, disasters, crime, and hatred. Truly you keep me sane, Jeremy & Melissa!.. you give me hope.. you give me the ability to believe there IS a good world still out there, and that if I can only take a deep breath and go outside and trust, I too can find pockets of serenity, and success in navigating what has kept me cowering behind my job up until now, and in bunkering down inside, since I stopped working 6 months ago. You say to us that we cannot imagine how much you love and appreciate us for being on this journey with you - but in truth we are the blessed ones and I reckon there's not a single person among us - your subscribers, who doesn't wholeheartely adore you for being such lovely lovely people and for sharing your lives with us in this intimate and so incredibly warm and inviting a way.. May God, Destiny, Karma and the universe continue to bring you wonderful blessings, health, excitement, imagination and joy in the coming year, and above all, be safe, be warm, and know that we will ALWAYS be there if you need us.. just say the word.. 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Hope you all have an amazing new year, thank you so much for all the entertaining videos, looking forward to more next year 🐰🐰🐰
Glad you've managed to sort the animals for the harsh conditions, I hope it worked. May all your wishes for 2023 come true.
The love and concern you show your animals, is heartwarming. God Bless in 2023.
"Better not be a Horse Fur?".......Good One!!!
Thank you for being great people. You both set great examples for your children. Best wishes for the new year from The McHenry Family.
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey! I have great respect for all of you. You are wonderful parents and just good people all the way around. I am looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings your family. Cheers to 2023!! Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Thank you for letting me feal like we are family! love Good Simple Living.🤠
❤️
All the very best for 2023 from me and Maria here in the Isle of Man....xxxxxxx
I never thought that anyone actually read the comments we leave as we are so far away from you, love to you all...xxx
Your channel has been such a Godsend/Blessing to me…no tv…along with the isolation of the pandemic…has been my GoTo entertainment, feels like you are extended family…have loved watching the progress you’ve made, sharing the up/downs, your kids’ growth, all the challenges, accomplishments you’ve shared w/all of us…Thank you for taking us along on your adventure!! Looking forward to seeing what 2023 has in C store for all of us! Abundant Blessings, joy, growth… for you in the New Year🎉🎈🥳💜🤗🙏🏻🍾💥
Can’t wait to see everything you all do in the coming year. You all have become one of my absolute favorite channels to watch!
One of the reasons why I follow your channel is that you and your family exemplify what is is to be good caring people without pushing any overt religious aspects of that. You don't push your religion (I have no idea what it is) down viewers' throats, but your lives are the epitome of what good people should strive for. If more You Tubers would spend more time doing for others instead of inviting people to their church services, the world would be a better place. The world needs more good examples and less missionaries.
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Yes, I know that not everything is perfect in anybody's world, but the love that everybody in your family shows for each other, and the kindness that you all show to others, is an inspiration to many who follow you. The projects are fun to follow, but they are just a backdrop to your lives and you teaching your children good values. Again, thank you for just being who you are. I hope that 2023 is kind to you and your family.
We are not religious, but we are believers. I've always thought that actions speak louder than words. We don't fit in well at church, a bit rough around the edges, but we do it in His name all the same. We hope 2023 is kind to you as well.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US JOIN YOUALL OVER THESE YEARS ..GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
Great end of year video. Snowing - taking care of the animals. Short chat reflecting on this year - and looking forward to things coming in 2023. Bless you guys. Stay warm. Happy New Year! ❤
This has been a great year and I am honored to spend it with your family. Can’t wait to see what next year brings.
Love being a part of your journey. Thank you for sharing your life and those loving kids. 💕💕💕
Please don’t feel guilty about time with your kids. Your bambinos have access to you 24/7. They are seeing you problem solve, creating something form nothing all while loving each other and them❤️✨
Hey, it's been life changing for me, too! Following you guys has been not only entertaining but also illuminating in so many ways. Thank you all for letting us into your world. Great stuff, personally and materially. I'm looking forward to more next year! What will you do with the barn, will you demolish the apartment you built? Well, Happy New Years to all!! Much love! G! 💖
He’s like if I don’t listen are you going to wear me too dad 😂
I remember watching that video when you’re driving down the driveway to your place in Idaho and I kept thinking, “why would anybody move all the way out there” and then I saw that Mountain View and that was pretty much it! What an amazing view
I think your plans and wishes for 2023 make a lot of sense. As for the low priority pond, talk to Aquascape for what they call a recreation pond. They have collaborated with many TH-cam channels and sometimes do group builds like they did for Kamp Kenan and Dr. Pol. Who knows what might be possible. You do a lot for other people. Maybe something can be done for you and your family. Happy New Year and a blessed 2023!
So by now the very low temperatures will be with you, I hope you are all snug and warm, and your animals are all well. Thanks for the chat, it seems like a lot of projects are planned for next year.
A very Happy New Year to you all, and knowing you two, you will bring happiness to others.
Love from Mike. ❤
I always gave extra feed for the horses when it was cold, chewing helps keep them warm, they do love a blanket as much as we do, just a little shy putting them on see ya next year.-0 is cold here in Nothern Az. too burr⛄⛄ love that coat Mr. j
Blessings to you and yours in 2023!
It has been amazing watching your journey up to this point! It's hard to believe how the years have passed! Looking forward to your 2023 projects, but chuckle when you talk about getting the house complete! After 30+ years, we realize that a house is never done 😉. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments! Happy New Year! 😀
Happy new year from our family to yours 🎉. A huge thank you to your family sharing in this journey you are on. For us, it’s been so much fun watching and seeing what you’ve been challenged throughout this build. Thank you for being vulnerable, thank you for seeing the needs in your community and acting upon it. I’m excited to see what 2023 brings to your family. 🎉
We had a 60x40 shop complete with 3 horse stalls. We were shocked to realize it wasn’t enough.
OMG!!! "Where's the buffalo that belongs to that coat" ... ROFLMAO!!!
😆 🤣 😂 poor horse
Your welcome and also thank you for the very nice content you create and letting us join on your journey. Your good people and deserve all the best. Kind regards, Love & Light from Belgium ;-)
Looking forward to the new year with everything you all have planned and letting us come along in the journey. You are such amazing family, I can truly see why you all are becoming the number one channel people are watching and seeing how much this channel has grown over the course of the two years I been watching is truly amazing.
Working and playing together is great for them and you. Great memories when the are on their own.
Gosh my Alexa was going crazy watching this episode 😂😂😂😂
😆
Happy New Year to you, too! I am so thankful for all the homesteaders I watch (I've said many times, there are four that are my favorites and that I never miss -- yours' included) and how each of you and your families bring me such joy... and hope.
Glad to know that you guys will continue to entertain us with all of your fun projects. May the new year bring you peace, happiness, unity and among all Health.
Your great for loving your anminals. I love you guys.
You have lovely children. I love the way you include them, talk about them, and take time out for them. They are so blessed.
This a great list to look forward to. The Pond would do if you put an aerator to keep it from freezing for the ducks and predators always looking for a meal. Happy New Year for all the good things that are coming our way.
First, I just want to say that I'm so glad I found your channel. You guys are so inspirational, the way you raise your family , your values and all the hard work that you do. Job well done and as always, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Happy New Year to all of you. Sending good health, happiness and all the love your way. 🤍✨❄️ Much love from Vermont.
Seeing your cat drink from the water tank reminded me of my loss of a great barn cat “Mouse”. He too use to drink from the horse tank, sadly I found him one morning drowned in the tank when he fell in and had no way to climb out. Since then I have always wired into the side wall of all my tanks a galvanized pole with galvanize 1” square wire wrapped around it to help any critter that might fall in. In twenty five years I have not had any birds, squirrels, opossums or other cats drown. I do change it out during the winter months for a wood post so nobody’s little wet feet wont freeze to it.
Well done, guys! Your kindness and servant posture come through loud and clear! We all would benefit if we followed your lead. Cheers to 2023!
Amen!
Happy New Year to you all..we were refurbishing our house this year and we love it..although we are in our mid 60s..love doing things ourselves..which we did..you have worked so hard this year and it shows..well done..
Morning Jeremy & Melissa 🤗 the cold snap was brutal over Christmas 🥶 so happy you're in your home & building memories with the kids 💖 thank you for taking us along for your journey - has been a blessing 😉 take care & Happy New Year 🥳🙏
His new coat looks good on him. Made especially for him…
Thanks for watching 👆and commenting 🥳 Massage me on (TELEGRAM) Got something for you 💯..
hello from Bulgaria EU, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE WHOLE FAMILY, ALIVE AND HEALTHY.!
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year! It seemed like Eli just turned 7 yesterday. Time sure flies. My kids went from babies to adults overnight it seems. You are wise to spend all the time you can with them.
