All alone without Joe for 4 days LOL!!! But we survived! The best way to figure out if you can do something is to just DO IT! 4 days withoutJoe taught me how grateful I am for all that he does. He is an amazing father & partner. It also showed me how we can change some things around here to make life easier for me IF I ever have to do it all by myself again lol! Right now my cup runneth over. I have everything I love all in one place, Joe, Lexxy, Parker & Kellen...life is good. P.S. The moose turned out to be the same male moose with the cut on his back that Joe had to chase off last week. He came back!!! Thanks for joining us for another video friends!😘
I'm so weird. When I see u put up a video I get sooo excited. But then I make myself do all the chores before I watch It's like I'm mothering myself 😂😂
Hi Watson Family ,I was so happy to be able to sit and enjoy another great video today. Tina you have my kinda luck. I give you a ,A+ for effort... You always plug along, your a beast!!!! I can't help notice the wonderful transformation of Kellen since he has arrived, he looks so Happy and comfortable in his new surroundings. Parker is such a stellar young man. What a wonderfully helper and knowledgeable little guy. The true making of a great man. All hale GINGERS!!! lol It was nice to see the joy Lexy brought to everyone, you could see it on all your faces...what a blessing to be loved so much. Lexy now I see where Parker gets his funny faces to camara when moms not paying attention... LOVE the ❤.. Thank you, Kindest regards
I'd call the Game Warden for advise on that Moose. There is something wrong with him, and poses a threat. Might have to turn him into steaks and Jerky.
I believe would be nice if We see a family , of 5, photo AND one of our little Kellen. Am I right? Love life lesson to the kids ❤ God bless you and your family
Girl you are infinitely better than watching almost anything else on the internet or TV. Love your attitude on life, your strength and courage to live a life on your terms and you Faith. Thank you for sharing some of your life with us😇!
This video warms my heart so much. You and the boys did great without Joe there and didn’t give up even when things weren’t going right. God and Family first . I’m so happy Lexi is back home safe with her loving family. Prayers to you all. God Bless!
Never underestimate the power of a mother/woman when she has is left alone to care for and make sure everything is safe for her family. I felt like I was holding my breath through the video, worried for Lexi and Joe driving from Seattle to Alaska in all that weather and bad conditions. I was so relieved and happy to see they made it home safely. BUT!!! Nothing was better than seeing you all playing and sledding in the snow! The fun, laughter, love, and joy that was exploding from you all was priceless!!! Time to continually enjoy the time you all are having together.
So great to have Lexi back with her family! Parker is such a little man and Kellan is so thoughtful and loving. Poor Tina I know what it is like to live with no man around, I lived that way for 4 years after my divorce and before I remarried! I got the neighbor man to help me when I couldn't do something on my own. God is good though and He brought me through the tough times!
I have to say, this is the BEST video ever! I can picture everything you went through as if it was me! And then you confess to the snowmobile issues lol! I really enjoy what you share with us and thank you for sharing your passion for the Lord! Everything from the jab issues to healthy living. Finally, YES, working on a homestead is more of a workout and much more satisfying than a gym membership!! You go girl!
Wow what a video Parker has had an amazing first winter in Alaska, Hes gone form been on his own, to having Kallen and now his big sis, It was a joy to see them all together enjoying time in the snow God Bless you ♥
Love your family life I'm a Fifer Joe reminds me of past family members love your ethos and your humour you make me laugh in a good way I respect your religious beliefs keep living your best life ❤❤
All young adults need to be on their own, to see how it is in the real world. So happy Lexi is home now with her family. She is pretty courageous for going across country living in California with no family there. God bless you all🙏
Parker is such a good young man! I love how you're training him to cook. The boys are great Brothers for each other. I love how they look out for each other! 😀😀
Glad your daughter is back home. As parents we have to trust in the Lord and them to eventually come to their senses and come back. Been there done that and Praise God I have an Awesome relationship with all four of my children and grandchildren. The key is unconditional love and being there when they are ready to come back and have lived a hard life lesson. You are now doing that with your beautiful daughter.
I’m so happy you’ve got your baby back,my daughters are 19 still living with me I felt it in my heart what you said about your relationship with your daughter
Lexy is beautiful. Looks like her Momma. Tina, you are superwoman. Parker and Kellen are so cute. It is so good to have a man around that can do anything. Hey! Superwoman and Superman. You guys are incredible.
I am so sorry you are going through health issues! My husband and I have lost faith in doctors! You are so right! They do not listen and you are the guinea pig! We are 69 and 70 years old and are on no meds. It sounds like you are doing the right thing and listening to your body.
Yeah they’d be just fine putting me on meds and sending me home. I just know that they’re off track. Nothing they’ve tried works. So I have no choice but to troubleshoot & try to figure it out on my own. I refuse to be on meds all the time especially when they’re not helping.❤️❤️
I think you had and exhausting time with all that snow. I think you did a great job at doing it alone. You not giving up,easy was something I might have done. … I love to watch you Tina and your family. Keep them coming dear. I hope you feel better fast also. I may ask you for tips on healing self. I just might need to make a change also. God Bless ❤
Tina you are a great Mom. Even though you didn’t want to, you let your daughter find her own way. God works in mysterious ways, he showed her the right path and she took it. My daughter was the same way, she joined the Navy right out of high school and God showed her the way within 6 months. Amazing how we parents are all of a sudden are very smart. Just enjoy her while she is home and let her fly her own god given path. Love to all of you.
Tina, I salute your tenacity. Everything was against you, no chance for success, but you gave it your best. Kallen -- what a trooper in trying to shovel out the driveway. On the chicks, Wow! They are growing fast.
Thank you so much! Isn’t Kellen just a doll?! Always trying so hard to be helpful. Thank you friend, we made it thru & learned a lot from our 4 days alone!
@@HomeFreeAlaska Kellen has a great smile. Easy to love him. You are a great foster mom. I'm sure he is still adjusting and you are making it is good as possible. He will be 100% in no time and all yours. 😊
You definitely had your challenges! Be proud you accomplished what you did. That was alot of snow! Welcome home Lexi, glad you made it safely! Good to see Joe! Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a safe week.
Tina, I relate 100% to your GI issues and feel for you. I was recently diagnosed with SIBO. Have you tested for that yet? It's a breath test. Not all GI doctors test for it, or even recognize it as a disease. Fortunately mine does. If you have a functional doctor near you I would recommend seeing one to get to the root cause of your issues. SIBO is hard to treat, but it is treatable with diet and either antibiotics or antimicrobials. My doctor has me following the Low Fob diet. Certain vegetables can irritate SIBO like garlic, onions , and definitely fermented foods like sauerkraut. So pay attention to if you feel worse when you eat those foods. I hope you figure this out soon. BTW.... I homeschooled our 4 children all the way through. My baby graduated last year. You're doing a great job with the boys. We live in Illinois, but my brother has lived in Anchorage for 36 years. He's a judge on the Superior Court. My son is in the Air Force stationed at JBER. We looove Alaska and love watching your adventure. Makes us want to live there too!
So happy for you to have "your Baby Home" No matter how old they get they are still your baby!! Hope all goes well for ya'll. Parker is enjoying having his sister home . You have a jewel in Kellen!! Feel bad for his Mother missing out. May God bless you for raising him in the proper manner and home of love. Kathy
You did a great job trying to get things done when Joe was gone. Great perseverance!!! A great model for perseverance. The boys ( furry and human) were adorable!!! The little kitty kats and chicks are sweet too!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶It’s nice for you to have Lexy home with you even if just temporary. 💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗🇨🇦
Kellen is so sweet try to get the snow from the Street. Tina you are doing a great job when Joe is not there. You are not lazy you working always hard. Did you let your potassium test for your cramps on your legs I was have the same problem and my potassium was low. You chicken growing so fast. Love your videos can not wait for the next one.
Ms. Tina, I Can relate so much, and almost cried, listening to you talk about Lexi. I did the same with my kid’s. They turn 18 and all of a sudden, they stop getting along with us. Because they don’t understand that our “rules” are just to keep protecting them. Now, I’m going through the same with a Grandson. I adore him. But, he can’t live with me if he doesn’t abide by my rules. I wish you and Lexi the best! They have no idea how much we love them.
I love your videos. Your family is so blessed. God has been so good to you. I love how you are so honest and are not afraid to tell it like is. I love you share your faith and you are teaching the boys about the Bible. America needs more families like yours.
So glad she is home. All one big happy family. At least Lexxy will now be closer if she needs anything and just knowing her family is closer has got to be a big relief. God bless you guys.
Oh sister, we are going through the “I’m an adult I should be able to make my own decisions “ with our 18 yo son and it is no joke. He still lives at home, so he has to abide by our rules…curfew, manners, church on Sunday, etc., and it is extremely difficult! We have made sure that he knows we are always here for him no matter what and he is always welcome home, but yes, there are rules.
My wife and I have been watching Home Free Alaska since you guys left the lower 48 several months ago. I believe that you have special talent in creating Vlogs. Your intros, editing, music selection, content and work ethic are outstanding. You could do this at the professional (Hollywood) level I believe and be a success. Keep up the good work. Jerry and Barb
“Update on our snowblower situation, our snowblower sucks.”😂🤣 Tina, you are so authentic……love it. I, like you, do not go to a gym, but, like you, do many physical tasks, that use my muscles. Since we live in the country, there is always something to do, yard cutting, tending chickens, cutting limbs and brush back, etc. you get plenty of exercise.💪🏻💕🐣
Hi Tina, my name is Hugo, my wife and I are from Brazil and we love your videos. We put the air conditioning on low and watch you every Saturday. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life with us. God bless you
Oh my goodness , Tina you brought it up on you self by saying that alway something happened when Joe is out 😉 Tina be confident ❤ you can do it girl 👍 So happy to have your baby home ❤️ she needs her mama cuddles ! Mama is going to give her tight hug and tell her : “ that everything is going to be okay “ ♥️♥️♥️ Lots of love to you Coast Guard family 🥰
Wow what a week for all of you! Praise God everything worked out! You did amazing Tina with the issues handed to you. Thank you Yeshua for bringing Lexxy, Joe, and Lexxy's dog home safe. I currently have a 19 yr old trying this whole adult thing out. Got a few grey hairs from this one. Exact same thing other than partying. The influences from others are strong but prayer is stronger. I pray Lexi you find your peace and may God show you the path He wants you to take. Stay strong!
Omg ! Parker making breakfast for himself and Kellen touched my heart. Then Kellen trying to shovel the snow made me cry. They try so hard for you. Great boys! I just wanted to hug like I do my boys. My boys are in their 30’s now. Y’all are doing an amazing job with them. God Bless
You and boys did a fantastic job while Joe was gone. HOPE LEXI IS OK. She a beautiful young lady. You all just need to rest for a few days. Take care and May God Bless you all.❤❤❤
Girl, I hold you in GREAT esteem,,,,,,,how could all that happen and didn't cry??? I'm serious. That was a major accomplishment. Those boys have beautiful hearts.....they wanted to help you so bad. That was very touching. Lexxi is a beautiful young woman. I pray she finds a great apartment and makes lots of wonderful friends. God bless you my friend.
I am so glad that you have your baby back with you. My baby (25) still lives with me. It's always been just her and me. I know one day she will need to leave the nest and I try not to think about it.
Sooo much good stuff in this vlog. Loved all the raw talk. Everyone can identify with kid issues, regrets, fails, all the things. I hope your belly heals. Love from Texas.
Snowplow tip. Do not move the snow just drive over it many times and pack it down with the plow or even the snowmobiles. It is easy to drive over a packed snow driveway or road. Do not plow it and push it aside. It take far less energy and wear and tear to drive over it and pack it down to make it easy to drive over for all of your vehicles. You can also melt this packed snow by putting ash or seed over it that catches the sun and melts it fast from the sun.
Hi, I’ve been following your videos since you started on your journey to Alaska. You truly have a blessed family. Joe, you are a great father and husband, an amazing hard working man of many talents!! and Tina, you are a wonderful hard working,Godly mother and wife if even half of the American families could be as functional and caring for their own family as you guys are, our country would be in such a better shape. God is good and he has truly blessed your family unit. I am glad to see your daughter home with you for now, we live in learn through life experience, and we become better stronger and wiser. You are a praying mother and there’s not a more powerful prayer that gets heavens attention than the prayer of a mother for her children. I know that God has your back and he has Lexi’s as well. Whatever is going on with her she will pull through it and she will be stronger in the end. God bless your beautiful family!! -Bobby
Ok girl. I have only watched a few minutes…I am at when you are scraping snow off the solar panels. And I am crying/laughing when you yell at the dogs that they almost made you pee. You have the best sense of humor. Screw all the turds who say mean and hateful things. Jealousy is evil, and that is what they are feeling. I am glad I found your channel…you absolutely crack me up. Love it! Have a blessed day!
MARGARET THE MOOSE! Love it!! Glad to see you got your little girl back for a short time. My baby girl, Bridgette, is now 43 but is still my heart. Being a mom never ends. Think you are the best!
Tina, you mentioned taking Kellen to the doctors. I hope he is okay. I loved seeing Parker helping get breakfast on the table. You are raising some sweet boys. I had the same problem with my youngest kid. They lived in our house and needed to follow our rules. He wanted a tattoo. I told him as long as he lived in our house, he needed to follow our rules. Needless to say we moved back to Ohio. He got an apartment and now has his tattoo. Lol.
i laughed when they said you don't get enough exercise. Omg all the work you have to do up their with using ever muscle in your arms.. PHOOY on them. Hello from Illinois. the last 3 days in Illinois it has been in the 80.s and now tonight they are saying snow. Love your ALASKA LIFE
I admire you Tina … you work so hard .. a real pioneer Woman in the wilderness… glad you did not hurt yourself… stay safe love you all .. hugs to you all
I loved this video so much!!! Had tears in my eyes seeing your daughter with you guys! God does amazing things in His time! We are still waiting on two of ours so I can really appreciate your happiness!
Tina, thumbs up 👍👏Great job, you did your very best to solve all the problems with a little help from the boys! Really nice to see that Lexxy is back home again! And hope you will feel ok soon and your stomach problems will be totally gone very soon! 🙏💕 God bless you all! 🥰😘
You sounded just like me… I can feel your frustration trying to clear the driveway. It’s always the way… when hubbys out I go to do something and the universe just laughs at me. I recognise your stubbornness in me. I will not give up!! Haha Found your channel this morning. Super refreshing and real!
From my experience doctors don't listen. They just want to throw medicine at it, in other words put a bandaid on it. You need to be your own health advocate. Consider getting allergy tests done by a naturopath. Also have them test you for parasites. Consider looking into whether you might be sensitive to gluten. Also doing a good cleanse. These were things that helped me after years of doctors not helping.
Tina, you never cease to amaze me! You are smart, funny, and yes, stubborn (so am I). You are a good female role model and I want to "thank you for sharing your story"... and Lexxy, I hope and pray that you find joy and peace in Alaska. Sincerely GM
Teamwork makes the dream work. I love watching you and the boys work together and accomplish so much. It makes me miss when my 5 were little and us working on the farm together. I’m happy Lexie is with you sounds like she needed her mom and pops.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing about your mother-daughter relationship. Right now we have an 18 (going on 19) year old daughter living at home. She is now looking for her own place because she wants to spread her wings and be able to experience adult life. We have rules here on our homestead as well that align with your similar views... I think raising young adult children there is always a learning curve... we do our best as Moms and Dads and do what we feel is right at the time. :) God Bless and hope you and the family are enjoying this lovely month of April and Spring is on its way.
So glad you and boys made it through 4 days. Happy to see Joe and Lexi home. Lexi and Parker looks like twins. Your family are such sweet. God Bless! ❤🙏😊
That was very nice to watch for the 3rd time. lol I started following you over a year ago and always watch your video's twice. I'm all caught up but needed a Home Free Alaska fix. This one had so many problems that you just took on no matter the outcome. Good for you! Then the fun at the end is very touching. My daughter is 29 now, out on her own for 10 months now. She is doing great, still miss her like crazy but we get to see her at least every two weeks or so. They grow up so fast. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear if Kellen stays with you all or not. I'm praying for God's will, not mine. I know no matter what he will always treasure the time he spent with the Watson's. I just love your whole family.
So glad that you let Lexi come home!! I would've done the same! I always tell my kids I will always be here if you need me that's the way it should be A child should always have a safe place to go!!
Another great video from you guys. All of your children are a blessing to you and both you and Joe to them. It's so good to see love, harmony and God's order in a family. Watching you with your kid's and listening to your heart felt honesty about the respect and order under your roof is rare and I dare say much needed in our world today. I so look forward to your videos and there content because it all reminds me of how I was raised. My parents taught us to love and respect each other...Just as God loves us. Thank you and God bless you all. Prayers headed your way..:))
Had the same long process of adjusting to my two daughters when they were young adults. My worrying ❤and difference in generations put a lot of strain on our relationship. In the end they suddenly grow up and are gorgeous women. It seems everyone HAS to experience things themselves and grow into themselves. You can give them advice and try to show them the way but you can’t force it. Thankfully your girl and mine found the good way .
Those teen years are tough. I have a son who turned 21 this week and a couple of years ago it was tough to love that boy. But now I could not be more proud of the hardworking young man he is. In high school I could have only dreamed of saying that. He works full time and makes good money and bought himself a really nice car. He is saving money for a house. He just makes me smile now. He doesn’t party or drink. His grandparents tried to get him to go to a bar on his birthday and he said no. He’s a 80 year old man trapped in a 21 year old body. He’s just so funny. Love that boy. ❤
I loved this video Tina. My daughter just moved out on her own 5 days ago. She had moved out 8 years ago at 20. She was out for a year then came back home to go to college. She got 2 degree's and then got a starter job then a better job at the college she went to. She runs the program called Basic needs. She is doing great and just got her own apartment. She is an hour away and I miss her so much. Watching you and hearing your story helped me. So many situations the same with my daughter. The arguing and being best friends. We have talked every day on Facebook but I know that will slow down. I just want the best for her, as I'm sure you do for Lexxy. God Bless you and the whole family. Thank you for this video.
Such an emotional video and one of your best ones to date. I found the lexi situation so emotional and had tears in my eyes and my heart bursting with love for you all. I think all us mums know how you feel and I’m so glad Lexi knows she can turn to you when she needed to. Sat at the table you can see the love in Joes’s eyes when he looked at his daughter. ❤ And on a side note I’m U.K. and your attempt at the British accent wasn’t the best 😂😂😂😂 (we Brits always love it when Americans try our accent) but 100% gold star for trying Tina you did well ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Your babies are all home❤ We don't know how well we did until we get that call. I'm glad Lexi is back with time to decompress before her new job. The boys obviously are enjoying her home. Great all the dogs are doing well and the cats are too. Looking at your problem solving, think you did just fine. You held the homestead. Not sure if aware, but when it falls, we move that snow sometimes 4 x a day to avoid getting locked in. If we wait until it stops, nothing helps since we don't have a big JD with blade once the sun comes out. Get some chains for the tires for both the blower and Polaris. You won't regret. During off season consider sizing up the blower. I'm waiting for the almanac update, but expect fall season of snow dumps and more. Can't stand that heavy wet stuff, so hard to clear. Joe seems the happiest right now. That long trek was obviously special for their relationship. Isn't it amazing how as parents we transition into many new stages with our kids❤ What a gift. Hugs from 🇨🇦
All alone without Joe for 4 days LOL!!! But we survived! The best way to figure out if you can do something is to just DO IT! 4 days withoutJoe taught me how grateful I am for all that he does.

I'm so weird. When I see u put up a video I get sooo excited. But then I make myself do all the chores before I watch
It's like I'm mothering myself 😂😂
Was the injury on his back getting well? Could you tell? Well,if your mother was close that would round out everything I guess??

Thank you Debbie! :)
They make a snow blower attachment that goes on the side by side. And it works great to clear. Just blows it out of the way.

I adore your channel sooooo much! So happy your baby girl is home safe and sound. Love watching your family flourish!!
Thank you so much!!
You definitely had your challenges! Be proud you accomplished what you did. That was alot of snow! Welcome home Lexi, glad you made it safely! Good to see Joe! Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a safe week.
You should built them a chicken roost somewhere they will to sleep as they get bigger
Tina, I relate 100% to your GI issues and feel for you. I was recently diagnosed with SIBO. Have you tested for that yet? It's a breath test. Not all GI doctors test for it, or even recognize it as a disease. Fortunately mine does. If you have a functional doctor near you I would recommend seeing one to get to the root cause of your issues. SIBO is hard to treat, but it is treatable with diet and either antibiotics or antimicrobials. My doctor has me following the Low Fob diet. Certain vegetables can irritate SIBO like garlic, onions , and definitely fermented foods like sauerkraut. So pay attention to if you feel worse when you eat those foods. I hope you figure this out soon.
BTW.... I homeschooled our 4 children all the way through. My baby graduated last year. You're doing a great job with the boys. We live in Illinois, but my brother has lived in Anchorage for 36 years. He's a judge on the Superior Court. My son is in the Air Force stationed at JBER. We looove Alaska and love watching your adventure. Makes us want to live there too!
Kellen has my heart, with the chickens and the driveway. So precious!
So happy for you to have "your Baby Home" No matter how old they get they are still your baby!! Hope all goes well for ya'll. Parker is enjoying having his sister home . You have a jewel in Kellen!! Feel bad for his Mother missing out. May God bless you for raising him in the proper manner and home of love. Kathy
You did a great job trying to get things done when Joe was gone. Great perseverance!!! A great model for perseverance. The boys ( furry and human) were adorable!!! The little kitty kats and chicks are sweet too!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶It’s nice for you to have Lexy home with you even if just temporary. 💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗🇨🇦
Don't mean to rub it in but it was 85 just outside Boston here on Thursday.
Meanie! 😂
Kellen is so sweet try to get the snow from the Street. Tina you are doing a great job when Joe is not there. You are not lazy you working always hard. Did you let your potassium test for your cramps on your legs I was have the same problem and my potassium was low. You chicken growing so fast. Love your videos can not wait for the next one.
Calan has developed so well, he seems to have a lot more confidence now with his school work xx
Ms. Tina, I Can relate so much, and almost cried, listening to you talk about Lexi.
I did the same with my kid’s.
They turn 18 and all of a sudden, they stop getting along with us.
Because they don’t understand that our “rules” are just to keep protecting them.
Now, I’m going through the same with a Grandson.
I adore him.
But, he can’t live with me if he doesn’t abide by my rules.
I wish you and Lexi the best!
They have no idea how much we love them.
I love your videos. Your family is so blessed. God has been so good to you. I love how you are so honest and are not afraid to tell it like is. I love you share your faith and you are teaching the boys about the Bible. America needs more families like yours.
So glad she is home. All one big happy family. At least Lexxy will now be closer if she needs anything and just knowing her family is closer has got to be a big relief. God bless you guys.
Oh sister, we are going through the “I’m an adult I should be able to make my own decisions “ with our 18 yo son and it is no joke. He still lives at home, so he has to abide by our rules…curfew, manners, church on Sunday, etc., and it is extremely difficult! We have made sure that he knows we are always here for him no matter what and he is always welcome home, but yes, there are rules.
My wife and I have been watching Home Free Alaska since you guys left the lower 48 several months ago. I believe that you have special talent in creating Vlogs. Your intros, editing, music selection, content and work ethic are outstanding. You could do this at the professional (Hollywood) level I believe and be a success. Keep up the good work. Jerry and Barb
Oh wow! Thank you so much for that compliment. It truly means so much to me as I put so much into each video!🤍🤍
“Update on our snowblower situation, our snowblower sucks.”😂🤣 Tina, you are so authentic……love it. I, like you, do not go to a gym, but, like you, do many physical tasks, that use my muscles. Since we live in the country, there is always something to do, yard cutting, tending chickens, cutting limbs and brush back, etc. you get plenty of exercise.💪🏻💕🐣
😊 thank you
Never disappointed.
Hi Tina, my name is Hugo, my wife and I are from Brazil and we love your videos. We put the air conditioning on low and watch you every Saturday.
Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life with us.
God bless you
Haha! That’s awesome! Thanks for watching our videos!☺️ Say hello to your wife!❤️❤️
Oh my goodness , Tina you brought it up on you self by saying that alway something happened when Joe is out 😉
Tina be confident ❤ you can do it girl 👍
So happy to have your baby home ❤️ she needs her mama cuddles ! Mama is going to give her tight hug and tell her : “ that everything is going to be okay “ ♥️♥️♥️
Lots of love to you Coast Guard family 🥰
Beautiful!!! From A to Z…….beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
And the winner of being best parents is......TINA & JOE!!!!! congratulations u get lot of love from ur kids & everyone who watches u!!!!!
So glad Joe,Lexx are home. ❤
Wow what a week for all of you! Praise God everything worked out! You did amazing Tina with the issues handed to you. Thank you Yeshua for bringing Lexxy, Joe, and Lexxy's dog home safe. I currently have a 19 yr old trying this whole adult thing out. Got a few grey hairs from this one. Exact same thing other than partying. The influences from others are strong but prayer is stronger. I pray Lexi you find your peace and may God show you the path He wants you to take. Stay strong!
Omg ! Parker making breakfast for himself and Kellen touched my heart. Then Kellen trying to shovel the snow made me cry. They try so hard for you. Great boys! I just wanted to hug like I do my boys. My boys are in their 30’s now. Y’all are doing an amazing job with them. God Bless
You and boys did a fantastic job while Joe was gone. HOPE LEXI IS OK. She a beautiful young lady. You all just need to rest for a few days. Take care and May God Bless you all.❤❤❤
Girl, I hold you in GREAT esteem,,,,,,,how could all that happen and didn't cry??? I'm serious. That was a major accomplishment. Those boys have beautiful hearts.....they wanted to help you so bad. That was very touching. Lexxi is a beautiful young woman. I pray she finds a great apartment and makes lots of wonderful friends. God bless you my friend.
I almost did Susan! Especially when my neck started hurting from shoveling so much lol.
Kalen is truly blessed to have you in his Life. ❤
I am so glad that you have your baby back with you.
My baby (25) still lives with me. It's always been just her and me. I know one day she will need to leave the nest and I try not to think about it.
Sooo much good stuff in this vlog. Loved all the raw talk. Everyone can identify with kid issues, regrets, fails, all the things. I hope your belly heals. Love from Texas.
Snowplow tip. Do not move the snow just drive over it many times and pack it down with the plow or even the snowmobiles. It is easy to drive over a packed snow driveway or road. Do not plow it and push it aside. It take far less energy and wear and tear to drive over it and pack it down to make it easy to drive over for all of your vehicles. You can also melt this packed snow by putting ash or seed over it that catches the sun and melts it fast from the sun.
Hi, I’ve been following your videos since you started on your journey to Alaska. You truly have a blessed family. Joe, you are a great father and husband, an amazing hard working man of many talents!! and Tina, you are a wonderful hard working,Godly mother and wife if even half of the American families could be as functional and caring for their own family as you guys are, our country would be in such a better shape. God is good and he has truly blessed your family unit. I am glad to see your daughter home with you for now, we live in learn through life experience, and we become better stronger and wiser. You are a praying mother and there’s not a more powerful prayer that gets heavens attention than the prayer of a mother for her children. I know that God has your back and he has Lexi’s as well. Whatever is going on with her she will pull through it and she will be stronger in the end. God bless your beautiful family!! -Bobby
Thank you so much friend!🤍🤍
Ok girl. I have only watched a few minutes…I am at when you are scraping snow off the solar panels. And I am crying/laughing when you yell at the dogs that they almost made you pee. You have the best sense of humor. Screw all the turds who say mean and hateful things. Jealousy is evil, and that is what they are feeling. I am glad I found your channel…you absolutely crack me up. Love it! Have a blessed day!
Hey! Thanks so much! Glad I can make ya laugh!😂 Welcome to our channel!
So glad your daughter could bring your dog. Pup so happy to see all of u
MARGARET THE MOOSE! Love it!! Glad to see you got your little girl back for a short time. My baby girl, Bridgette, is now 43 but is still my heart. Being a mom never ends. Think you are the best!
Thank you!❤️❤️
Don't worry Tina, anyone that cleans their own home is working out! and getting things done.
Tina, you mentioned taking Kellen to the doctors. I hope he is okay. I loved seeing Parker helping get breakfast on the table. You are raising some sweet boys. I had the same problem with my youngest kid. They lived in our house and needed to follow our rules. He wanted a tattoo. I told him as long as he lived in our house, he needed to follow our rules. Needless to say we moved back to Ohio. He got an apartment and now has his tattoo. Lol.
Oh yes he’s great! Just a regular check up!☺️❤️
i laughed when they said you don't get enough exercise. Omg all the work you have to do up their with using ever muscle in your arms.. PHOOY on them. Hello from Illinois. the last 3 days in Illinois it has been in the 80.s and now tonight they are saying snow. Love your ALASKA LIFE
I admire you Tina … you work so hard .. a real pioneer Woman in the wilderness… glad you did not hurt yourself… stay safe love you all .. hugs to you all
The ending was simply beautiful. The smiles and laughter warmed my heart 🥰
I loved this video so much!!! Had tears in my eyes seeing your daughter with you guys! God does amazing things in His time! We are still waiting on two of ours so I can really appreciate your happiness!
Girl, alone? Your a bad ass; you can do this. Hope Joe is home with your babygirl soon. BGFNYC loving your family ❤
Great video. You and the boys were awesome. Your daughter is a beauty.
Tina, thumbs up 👍👏Great job, you did your very best to solve all the problems with a little help from the boys! Really nice to see that Lexxy is back home again! And hope you will feel ok soon and your stomach problems will be totally gone very soon! 🙏💕 God bless you all! 🥰😘
You sounded just like me… I can feel your frustration trying to clear the driveway. It’s always the way… when hubbys out I go to do something and the universe just laughs at me. I recognise your stubbornness in me. I will not give up!! Haha
Found your channel this morning. Super refreshing and real!
Yay, a new Berkey!
Just to see Lexi sled down that hill and laugh made my day. Tina I just love your channel and look forward to seeing new videos each week🥰
From my experience doctors don't listen. They just want to throw medicine at it, in other words put a bandaid on it. You need to be your own health advocate. Consider getting allergy tests done by a naturopath. Also have them test you for parasites. Consider looking into whether you might be sensitive to gluten. Also doing a good cleanse. These were things that helped me after years of doctors not helping.
Tina, you never cease to amaze me! You are smart, funny, and yes, stubborn (so am I). You are a good female role model and I want to "thank you for sharing your story"... and Lexxy, I hope and pray that you find joy and peace in Alaska. Sincerely GM
Thank you!!!☺️❤️
I’m so happy that your baby girl is home with her family.
Me too!
Teamwork makes the dream work. I love watching you and the boys work together and accomplish so much. It makes me miss when my 5 were little and us working on the farm together.
I’m happy Lexie is with you sounds like she needed her mom and pops.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing about your mother-daughter relationship. Right now we have an 18 (going on 19) year old daughter living at home. She is now looking for her own place because she wants to spread her wings and be able to experience adult life. We have rules here on our homestead as well that align with your similar views... I think raising young adult children there is always a learning curve... we do our best as Moms and Dads and do what we feel is right at the time. :) God Bless and hope you and the family are enjoying this lovely month of April and Spring is on its way.
So glad you and boys made it through 4 days. Happy to see Joe and Lexi home. Lexi and Parker looks like twins. Your family are such sweet. God Bless! ❤🙏😊
If living in Alaska during winter ain't a workout I don't know what is! Don't listen to the haters❤
I’m glad your family is safe and back together.
That was very nice to watch for the 3rd time. lol I started following you over a year ago and always watch your video's twice. I'm all caught up but needed a Home Free Alaska fix. This one had so many problems that you just took on no matter the outcome. Good for you! Then the fun at the end is very touching. My daughter is 29 now, out on her own for 10 months now. She is doing great, still miss her like crazy but we get to see her at least every two weeks or so. They grow up so fast. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear if Kellen stays with you all or not. I'm praying for God's will, not mine. I know no matter what he will always treasure the time he spent with the Watson's. I just love your whole family.
Thanks for supporting our channel!! We appreciate you!❤️❤️
Your vlog is a blessing to us all! Thanks for sharing more off grid life in Alaska. Spring is coming soon!
Parker does such a great job cooking! He has such a sweet smile..
😊 thank you
So glad that you let Lexi come home!! I would've done the same! I always tell my kids I will always be here if you need me that's the way it should be A child should always have a safe place to go!!
Another great video from you guys. All of your children are a blessing to you and both you and Joe to them. It's so good to see love, harmony and God's order in a family. Watching you with your kid's and listening to your heart felt honesty about the respect and order under your roof is rare and I dare say much needed in our world today. I so look forward to your videos and there content because it all reminds me of how I was raised. My parents taught us to love and respect each other...Just as God loves us. Thank you and God bless you all. Prayers headed your way..:))
Had the same long process of adjusting to my two daughters when they were young adults. My worrying ❤and difference in generations put a lot of strain on our relationship. In the end they suddenly grow up and are gorgeous women. It seems everyone HAS to experience things themselves and grow into themselves. You can give them advice and try to show them the way but you can’t force it. Thankfully your girl and mine found the good way .
You did great on your own. Thankfully Parker and Kellen were there for you. Love you God Bless.
You tried your very best when Joe was away,👏👏👏👏👏👏.Your daughter is a miniature you.❤️
Lexi and Parker look so much alike. Lexi is right where she’s supposed to be. HOME✝️
Love love love this episode I didn't want it to end...
Thank you Sharon!☺️
Those teen years are tough. I have a son who turned 21 this week and a couple of years ago it was tough to love that boy. But now I could not be more proud of the hardworking young man he is. In high school I could have only dreamed of saying that. He works full time and makes good money and bought himself a really nice car. He is saving money for a house. He just makes me smile now. He doesn’t party or drink. His grandparents tried to get him to go to a bar on his birthday and he said no. He’s a 80 year old man trapped in a 21 year old body. He’s just so funny. Love that boy. ❤
I loved this video Tina. My daughter just moved out on her own 5 days ago. She had moved out 8 years ago at 20. She was out for a year then came back home to go to college. She got 2 degree's and then got a starter job then a better job at the college she went to. She runs the program called Basic needs. She is doing great and just got her own apartment. She is an hour away and I miss her so much. Watching you and hearing your story helped me. So many situations the same with my daughter. The arguing and being best friends. We have talked every day on Facebook but I know that will slow down. I just want the best for her, as I'm sure you do for Lexxy. God Bless you and the whole family. Thank you for this video.
Such an emotional video and one of your best ones to date.
I found the lexi situation so emotional and had tears in my eyes and my heart bursting with love for you all. I think all us mums know how you feel and I’m so glad Lexi knows she can turn to you when she needed to.
Sat at the table you can see the love in Joes’s eyes when he looked at his daughter. ❤
And on a side note I’m U.K. and your attempt at the British accent wasn’t the best 😂😂😂😂 (we Brits always love it when Americans try our accent) but 100% gold star for trying Tina you did well ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hehe! Thanks friend. ❤️❤️
The way Joe looks at Lexi...❤ I feel you bro!
Ah big brother made breakfast for himself and little brother ❤ love you Parker
Your babies are all home❤
We don't know how well we did until we get that call.
I'm glad Lexi is back with time to decompress before her new job. The boys obviously are enjoying her home. Great all the dogs are doing well and the cats are too.
Looking at your problem solving, think you did just fine. You held the homestead.
Not sure if aware, but when it falls, we move that snow sometimes 4 x a day to avoid getting locked in. If we wait until it stops, nothing helps since we don't have a big JD with blade once the sun comes out.
Get some chains for the tires for both the blower and Polaris. You won't regret.
During off season consider sizing up the blower.
I'm waiting for the almanac update, but expect fall season of snow dumps and more.
Can't stand that heavy wet stuff, so hard to clear.
Joe seems the happiest right now. That long trek was obviously special for their relationship.
Isn't it amazing how as parents we transition into many new stages with our kids❤
What a gift. Hugs from 🇨🇦
Aaaww, Kellen is so sweet! We are so glad you took him in❤❤❤
Your lighting inside makes everything look cozy and warm
I’m 73 and I worry about my son and grandson all of the time. Just the way it is. Love being a part of this family ♥️
