Goooooood morning TH-cam family! We officially have internet...however, I'm cancelling it LOL. Because Starlink literally JUST became available in our area of Alaska like 2 days ago. Starlink is WAY faster. Hoping with Starlink, we'll be able to continue our quarterly LIVESTREAMS with you guys. Nonetheless, we have internet. We already ordered Starlink & should have it within a couple of weeks. Wishing everyone a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING tomorrow, from our lil cabin to yours!😘
We got Starlink in central BC, Canada (Northern Cariboo RD) early last year and it was an improvement for speed and no data caps- it does drop out some, but an improvement. You might want the roof mount they make- the dish does have a heater to melt ice- but I still use my roof rake to remove snow around it for the melt.
Welcome home!! I'm your neighbor in Anchorage and a former military kid. Dad/grandpa was air force (tailgunner in WWII) mom/grandma retired civil service and brother was in the AF. First came to Alaska in 1980, lived here off and on then finally came back full time December 2001. Once you get Alaska in your blood, you can never shake it. Most people love it or hate it and there really is no way to explain to others just how special it is here. You have to be a special breed of person to live here because it is not easy but it's worth it. I STILL get giddy every time I see a moose. That will never diminish. I live on the southside near Service high school so we have moose constantly in our yard, plus we have a mama moose that gives birth in our neighbors yard every spring and they hang out in our yard eating all the wild grass we have. Her babies come back every winter to eat the bushes in our yard and sometimes try to join us in our garage. One year a yearling tried to come in our front door with us, it's so wild. Love this place so much. You should get a PO Box so people can send you Christmas cards! There is a couple that moved here from Oregon that live out in Willow with a great homesteading channel, you might know them already but if not, check them out: Simple Living Alaska. God bless you guys! ❤️🙏
Seeing Parker driving is a happy sight for me. I learned to drive my Dad’s truck around our property loading and unloading when I was his age too. It is a great memory he will never forget.
New to your channel, I don’t understand why you don’t have at least 250K subs, you guys are fun, hardworking, courageous, and have mad skills (from rapping to plumbing and beyond); I smiled through out this video. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Aw thank you Susie! As you prob know we just got to our Alaska cabin. I imagine the show will continue to grow from here. Thanks for being a part of our journey!♥️♥️
Tina, as an orthopedic registered nurse for 39 years. I have a suggestion that you might want to try for your neck. He is great for muscle pain and spasms but if you are having a pinching of the nerves which causes the symptoms down your arm and the weakness, it’s likely that you do have a bulging disc and it is putting pressure on the nerves that go down the arm. Inflammation is your enemy in this situation and it would be better to try ice probably. Ice may reduce some of the inflammation from the bulging disc impinging on the nerves. I hope you feel better soon. Praying for you and your family.❤ 🙏🏻
Oh my goodness Parker has a pure soul. To suggest to you that you could use the branches as decor really shows thoughtfulness, as he thought that might make you happy. It made my day to see how joyful & proud he was of his driving: " I feel like a grownup ". Bless him, he's a good kid x
Nice to have your private ice skating pond. I grew up in Fairbanks and we would carry water out in garbage bags to make one in the yard. Maybe try an Inversion table- they are suppose to help bulging disks. I use one for my sciatic issue. I have property also (a woman with a chainsaw), and it is quite frustrating to not be active and do projects. Parker seems great- he is a sweet youngster and you are doing great with him.
Tina!!! Sit down….when your picture popped up with rice sock…I grinned and out loud said what did you do? Joe is so layed back and just goes with the flow…we live far out on a horse ranch. And so many say to us doesn’t my granddaughter miss having neighbors? We feel the life she has out here with horses and the ranch we are on teaches her so much and to be honest never bored.
It’s been very nostalgic watching these video the last few days since I found you. I am 68 years old and lived in Northern Ontario in what you may recognize as a bush camp. No running water, no inside toilet facilities, gas operated wringer washer, no dryer, an old airtight (wood burner). Chopping wood and making kindling for the fire. Carrying water in 5 gallon pails, winter and summer from the lake. And taking the night pot to the outhouse. Living on walleye, moose meat, most of the time. Sometimes my parents went in on half a pig. My Dad rigged up gas appliances and when I was about 8 he used the engine from an old car to watch hockey on the black and white TV. I didn’t know anything else. I love the wilderness and wildlife but would never go back to that. Its wonderful to raise children in this environment as you can control the inputs. But as I then had to go into the small town 80 miles from us, to go to high school, I found I was very naive and unprepared for certain character types. I had no experience navigating without getting involved with the wrong people. I was way too trusting. But you do learn quickly that not all people are to be trusted. Love the channel. Fun to watch.
I just want to say thank you ❤ I have a long story but the end of it is struggling with depression is a real struggle and I was there. I watch a few channels but came upon yours and something clicked your personality, your faith. Your love just radiates. I am pulling out of it and have just watched so many videos you have made me realize again I am strong,funny, and full of life. Seeing you and joe together reminded me I have a joe. My relationship has come around again and I’m laughing and smiling. Don’t ever worry about the haters girl cuz there are us out there who really love you! God bless your family and squeeze that sweet boy for me!!! ❤❤
Mandy!! Read every word of this. Love it so much. Thank you for sharing this with me. THIS is why we do what we do. So happy you enjoy our channel. We’re happy to have you on the journey with us friend!😘
Good morning beautiful souls! Just wanted to share the most amazing purchase with you. Tens unit! They’re approximately $30-40 right now with the Amazon sales. I have 2 bulging disks from a truck wreck years ago and this unit along with essential oils is amazing!!! I wish I had purchased mine years ago but at least I have it now. Also, I suggest ordering extra pads for backups
I can’t believe I just found this video. I look every day for new videos from you How I missed it I don’t know. I woke up at 3 am this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep so I turned on iPad and there was your sweet family. Enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for sharing it brighten my day and let’s me see smother part of the world. Even at 3 am.
Alaska is beautiful at the best of times but this time of year , it’s absolutely amazing, the ice the snow , completely changes the landscape, such a beautiful place to live .
No way I would get out of my car whit those two pups protecting the property. I love the way you keep saying “ Right Joe right. I do the same thing to my Vance right Vance. I have a son that’s 56 and goes around with his shorts no jacket and his boots in cold of winter. Love to see y’all living your dream. 😊❤
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful life you are living! I had to smile, when Parker said, he felt like a grown-up. Rural kids learn so many life skills faster, than city kids. I know, not everyone has that opportunity, but is so true. Happy Thanksgiving!😊
Kids like their own entertainment it helps them use their initiative and their brain instead of technology. Parker has the dogs and so much excitement living where he is, learning new skills.
I am 50 and for 5 years ago, i Got surgery, I got a new disks in my neck, and I got a new life, the neck pain is gone, but sometimes I have to get some rest..❤ so you got all my positive thoughts ❤ love from Danmark 🇩🇰🇬🇱
My retired Coastie husband just found your channel. Loving the content. Our kiddos are now adults but I’m in complete agreement with your values about socializing your P!
Yes that happened to me. I had to have surgery. The pain was crazy before the surgery. And the numbness in my fingers and arms and neck. I was going paralyzed. It was so painful and weird. My husband had to start doing everything. I started dropping everything. So I will keep you in my prayers. You keep me please. God bless stay warm.
You are hilarious! I love the fact that you guys moved to Alaska and thanks for taking us on your journey. I actually plan on visit in a couple of years when we’re more financially able to do extravagant things. I think Alaska is beautiful
I just found your channel. So awesome! This is making me so darn homesick for AK. I lived there for three years during the pipeline build and left in June 1979. I barely recognize Anchorage anymore. There certainly were no freeways. It is so wonderful seeing the Chugach Mts. again. I wish you a lifetime of happiness living off grid in the most beautiful place in the world.
GREAT VIDEO TINA!!! LOVED THE SCENERY.Those mtns are gorgeous.Joe is such a hard worker and handsome too😁😉 Take care of yourself Tina. Take it easy on the wood hauling and piling. I hope you get better soon💕💜❣️💖Love the pups. I noticed later in the video they lost their booties😔but they seem to be ok. Give Parker a hug from me!!! Such a nice young man!!🤗🤗💖
A great video with variety and items of interest. With your new storage sheds, washer & dryer hooked up by Joe and your car and the Polaris arrival you are settling in fast. Tina & Joe complement each other's talents. Joe seems very capable at all life style skills. Curious about the birch trees you felled re the solar panels. Nothing better for long lasting wood fire heat than birch trees. The mountain shots on your Anchorage trip were fantastic. Having a third driver is always great for emergencies. Also hope your neck issues heal up quickly Tina......take care of your health above all else ! 👍👍🙏🏻
Amen and Amen. Speak on it Tina! I am so happy that Kellen gets a chance to enjoy the beauty of your family and Alaska. I also pray that his mom and family are healed.
Your dogs seem to love the cold ice and snow. Are they bred to withstand the cold on their feet. They sure seem to love it. As I continued to watch this saw you had purchased booties for them it will be interesting to see you put them on all 8 feet. LOL
I had the same thing with my neck. I lost grip in my hands. I had to get my neck fused because if I didn't, I could have lost all feeling in hands and arms. I have had a fusion in my neck for 7 years with no problems. Wish you the best
With cold temperatures outside and very low air humidity, we used to try to hang on dryer racks at least one of the washer loads to raise the moisture level in the house. It's better for the skin and breathing than dry air and saves a lot on solar power, as dryers consume a lot of electricity.
Recently found your channel, watched and quickly subscribed! I’m loving your journey in Alaska. Parker is such a lucky lad. He’s learning things that will help him in the real world. Your beautiful dogs have settled well and I loved their little bootees! You make me laugh Tina. You are so down to earth. You put a lot into your videos. I don’t comment all the time, but wanted to let you know what an awesome family you are. I also hope your neck problem is sorted. Best wishes.
I never thought the dogs would accept the footwear. We have tried these with our two Beagles and they won’t move and just chew them up. The ice salt on our streets gets in their pads and we are always having to clean it out on a winter walks.😀🇨🇦🐾🐾
Thanks for the neat videos! I love watching, have not commented much… buts still watch. I’m from California My brother died in a plane crash in Alaska (he’s in heaven an all is good!) but I enjoy seeing what Alaska is like since I’ve never been there. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have a beautiful family❤
Your symptoms in this video sound just like mine when I had a bulging disc. I got relief by getting Toradol injections. After the first injection the doctor told me IF it worked, it would take 5 days to get relief. On day 5 pain was gone. Less than a month later the pain and numbness returned, got another Toradol shot. Three months later, symptoms returned and had another shot. That was the last one and it has been over 10 years since I had a problem. Hope you can soon get relief because you have so much to look forward to in your new home!
Love the way you structure your videos. I enjoy the reality of the daily life and experiences. Of course the scenery too. I can relate to the cold and central Oregon high desert landscape. Also surprise spontaneous weather patterns. Cooking breakfast was fun to watch and getting the housewife pleasures of the washer and dryer. Yep men and machines, their power toys! Love all the trees.
Thank you so much for teaching Parker how to wrap a gift in a gift bag. I never knew how to put the tissue paper in. Now I know how to put tissue paper in instead of just tossing it in the bag. Sorry about your neck pain. Praying for you. Take care and God bless you and your family. 🎄💕🎁😀❤️
At the beginning of the video Watching you drive up your lane to your cabin I was thinking, I bet that has to be such a satisfying and comforting feeling pulling up to your forever home this side of Heaven, our eternal home. So happy for you all and truly love watching you do life! You guys aughta connect with Joas and Priscilla and there kids from Montana Haven- Alaska Edition. They live up there. I love both there's and your show so much!!
Always amazing how life becomes in the different seasons ....something possible, a very enjoyable activity in the winter ❄️ season ...so very cool watching the dogs joy as well 🤗... loving your many experience moments 🥰😉
I am so very happy you finally got your internet and can't wait to see what you do with your Alaska Adventure I think you are a wonderful family may God bless you
I had a neck problem that sounds about like yours. Just started like a crick in my neck and got progressively worse. Hands tingling etc. Went to neurologist and he gave me a shot of cordisone straight down on top of my shoulder between the bones. Longest needle I have ever seen. Hurt soo bad but stopped the pain and that was years ago and it has not hurt since. Hope you find some relief soon.
Yeah we're right there with you on the socialisation thing, we homeschool our 10 year old, same situation here, he has a couple of really great friends and gets together with the homeschooling group to learn basic marine biology, life saving, hiking and orientation, bushcraft etc.... Our 20 year old was never homeschooled - bummer but he's got his priorities sorted out and both our kids have big beautiful hearts. So many people assume that homeschooled kids are somehow disadvantaged, we say it's the exact polar opposite! It wasn't that long ago in our history that all the kids were schooled on their farms, under a tree or with the local kids in a central paddock. We don't care anymore what people think they know, they don't know us and that's just fine. When my 20 year old was at school his entire year level wasn't allowed to play with kids in other year levels whatsoever, how is that natural? I'm 51 years old now (I look 30 so thanks Mum for the great skin genes) and I don't just talk to people in their 50's for crying out loud. I love that our son gets to know people of all ages, and I have to say that he's so much more sure of himself than I remember the school kids ever being. Andrew, my hubby was eyeing off your Polaris Ranger, thanks Joe haha! Love to you Tina and your beautiful fam Xx
When our kids were young they'd go to Grandma & Grandpa's. My Husband & I would go Up North to our Cabin & Cut Wood for the Day together. It was usually around 10°~15°. We'd stay warm with our Coffee Breaks. The Best Memories together were made on those Days. I truly Believe those times made us Closer & Stronger. Praying you Heal quickly & your pain is gone soon. Thinking of you girly. Enjoy your time together & Stay Warm!💙🙏💙🙏💙
Love you and the family and your precious dogs! Thank you for the interesting life you all have and for letting us sort of be apart of what’s happening. Looking forward to the next video. Hope you have able to see a doctor for your neck. I have something similar and when it acts up I wear a soft neck collar to help lift the neck up to relieve some of the pain. Yours sounds more serious and hope and pray for no surgery. ❤️
Well it looks like you're all having a really great time in your new home which is great to see!! Tina, please look after your neck and herniated disc please as there is only one of you and Joe, P and the pups need you up and around!! Once you have all your own stuff there and sorted I can see you guys settling in even betterer than you think you will. Next time you have a live feed I will have that icy cold beer with you :)
Great video once again!!! Loved seeing Parker driving ...he did so good and is going to be awesome at it...next he will be cutting down trees!! Definitely need to get some skates for that pond for him....anxiously awaiting the next video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Looking great! We use RO under sink/water filter/softener and dispenser. Dogs pads - cream coating available like zinc we use to protect pads too. They can get burned from ice/sub temperatures. You will see a little discolored before raw pink. Ask Vet but we use preparation H with medical pad and vet wrap if gets bad. 20f and lower is when it usually starts. We have a lot of -35 to -45c fronts here. 5 minute rule for kids and pets. Sooo happy you got your wheels back and everyone is doing great. People's comments are obviously out of concern but most never experienced what you are living. Grain of Salt. Watch the temperature for lubricant for chainsaws. It's warm enough now not to seize motor and lock chain while running. It's bad when that happens. One reason I love those really sunny days when we hit negative. Warm chainsaw next to wood burner. Repairs for neck reduce results. C4 to C7 we kinda need. Often it can fix itself but not repeatedly. I'm a good example of that unfortunately. Stay warm and happy!
Great video, guys!! 😍😍xx People should just mind their own business and leave Parker be. He’s clearly a happy little boy. Bradley and Gunner look like they are loving the space, 😁😁 My 3 girls would love it, but not the snow (they are whippets, lol 😂😂)
Ha ha about the worrying about socialization. I remember that big time when my wife and I decided to home school. It was never a problem, always easy to do with children you approve of and now our two children are grown, having children and doing great.
I agree with you. Keep being the parents God called you to be. Loved your video. First time watching. I just subscribed. Can't wait to see the rest of journey.
I love these long videos!!! First, that Joe is one Blessed Man!!! Second, You’re very very blessed to have Him! Now the bad stuff, Ms. Tina, I’ve been married 50 years and the one thing I can do good is tell when a woman is hard headed!! I have a good Friend Who’s an Orthopedic surgeon, showed this to Him, He said if You do have bulging disc the hardest thing You should be doing is wearing that sofa and rice collar out!!! Oh, Parker is one good Kid, Y’all won’t have to worry about Him. Please be careful, Y’all stay warm and safe, looking forward to the next video!!
Someone just sent me the link to it. We'll watch it today. He's technically not retired until Feb 1st...he's just on terminal leave. We've been fighting the mandate for over a year. Either way...we'll never get it. We applied for a religious exemption & it was denied. Joe has been threatened with involuntary discharge for over a year.🧡
You are a good mom and dad every school is bad teaching things you would not approve of. Because sometime there friends are raise wrong and they influnence your kid. Great MOM
A week and a half, you guys are killing it. I am amazed at all you have accomplished in such a short time! Joe is gonna surprise us all and drop some serious rap beats soon, I just know it....lmao
Parker is enjoying his new adventure. I love it ! Please be easy with your neck, I understand that it’s hard to leave the fun stuff to your LUMBERJACK.. lol I pray y’all have a very happy Thanksgiving. God Bless
👋 HI! 🙂 from New Mexico! I got my coffee and so enjoyed your video of the Watson's family week. I got to smile so much 😊😁that I had to watch again! You all got so much accomplished and had time to enjoy the snow and boot skating🙃. Parker getting to drive. You're great parents.💯. Woohoo to Starlink. Tina you do fantastic editing. Thanks for sharing your life with this elderly lady. God bless you all and angels all around you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 What a wonderful family you are. I just wanted you to know how impressed I am with your parenting skills! The proof is in the pudding…Parker is the sweetest , kindest little boy with a smile that can light up the world😘 God Bless you all!

I was going to say Starlink covers Alaska now
@@CountryCampers yeah we looked as soon as we got here & it wasn't in our area yet. But as soon as we heard it went live we ordered it right away LOL!
Starlink is amazing! We finally got ours in the summer. We live central western WA. Kinda rural. Amazing internet. We can stream in 4k without lag.
We got Starlink in central BC, Canada (Northern Cariboo RD) early last year and it was an improvement for speed and no data caps- it does drop out some, but an improvement. You might want the roof mount they make- the dish does have a heater to melt ice- but I still use my roof rake to remove snow around it for the melt.
Some people are having trouble with it. I'd try it out first
I’m impressed that the homeschooling community offers ice skating lessons, fish prep and other interesting activities. You’re a good mom Tina.
Thank you Lin.♥️

I love simple living Alaska
We need more real men like Joe in this world! Too many are soft these days. Knowing how to fix and do things is a real plus in a man!
Thank you Paula! 😊 (Joe)
Seeing Parker driving is a happy sight for me. I learned to drive my Dad’s truck around our property loading and unloading when I was his age too. It is a great memory he will never forget.
New to your channel, I don’t understand why you don’t have at least 250K subs, you guys are fun, hardworking, courageous, and have mad skills (from rapping to plumbing and beyond); I smiled through out this video. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Wasn’t that sweet Andrea. He knows I love pinecones. He’s just precious.♥️♥️♥️
This video has made Thanksgiving so much better. Almost like visiting a family member for that special get together.
Aw yay!🤍
It’s so nice that Parker has friends nearby.
Nice to have your private ice skating pond. I grew up in Fairbanks and we would carry water out in garbage bags to make one in the yard. Maybe try an Inversion table- they are suppose to help bulging disks. I use one for my sciatic issue.

Parker seems like a sweet well rounded respectful child. I'm sure he will be fine interacting with others!
Good morning beautiful souls! Just wanted to share the most amazing purchase with you. Tens unit! They’re approximately $30-40 right now with the Amazon sales. I have 2 bulging disks from a truck wreck years ago and this unit along with essential oils is amazing!!! I wish I had purchased mine years ago but at least I have it now. Also, I suggest ordering extra pads for backups
Just put it in the cart! Thank you!🤍
Tens units are the best!! I agree get extra pads.
It truly is the little things in life like having your washer and dryer working in the house! Woot woot!
Yes it is!👏
I can’t believe I just found this video. I look every day for new videos from you How I missed it I don’t know.

Oh wow Parker did an fantastic job driving the Polaris around. You are teaching him the best ever skills to succeed in life. ❤
Kids like their own entertainment it helps them use their initiative and their brain instead of technology. Parker has the dogs and so much excitement living where he is, learning new skills.
I am 50 and for 5 years ago, i Got surgery, I got a new disks in my neck, and I got a new life, the neck pain is gone, but sometimes I have to get some rest..❤ so you got all my positive thoughts ❤ love from Danmark 🇩🇰🇬🇱
My retired Coastie husband just found your channel. Loving the content. Our kiddos are now adults but I’m in complete agreement with your values about socializing your P!
Love how much fun Parker and the puppies are having but I'm cold just watching Joe in shorts. Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
You should consider getting a small water pump so once the pond freezes over, you can pump water onto the surface to make it real smooth.
Love how the pups are cautious, but protective. Gotta protect Mom!!
Darn girl hate to see your neck pain is back. Prayers for that.but glad to see all the things are coming together on the home stead.
Yes that happened to me. I had to have surgery. The pain was crazy before the surgery. And the numbness in my fingers and arms and neck. I was going paralyzed. It was so painful and weird. My husband had to start doing everything. I started dropping everything. So I will keep you in my prayers. You keep me please. God bless stay warm.
You are hilarious! I love the fact that you guys moved to Alaska and thanks for taking us on your journey. I actually plan on visit in a couple of years when we’re more financially able to do extravagant things. I think Alaska is beautiful
It truly is great! You won’t be sorry! ♥️
Wow, so beautiful Alaska! Amazing nature! Thanks for the nice tour! Have a great day
I just found your channel. So awesome! This is making me so darn homesick for AK. I lived there for three years during the pipeline build and left in June 1979. I barely recognize Anchorage anymore. There certainly were no freeways. It is so wonderful seeing the Chugach Mts. again. I wish you a lifetime of happiness living off grid in the most beautiful place in the world.
My grandfather also had a piece in building the pipeline. That was some harsh hard work. Thanks for watching! 😊
GREAT VIDEO TINA!!! LOVED THE SCENERY.Those mtns are gorgeous.Joe is such a hard worker and handsome too😁😉 Take care of yourself Tina. Take it easy on the wood hauling and piling. I hope you get better soon💕💜❣️💖Love the pups. I noticed later in the video they lost their booties😔but they seem to be ok. Give Parker a hug from me!!! Such a nice young man!!🤗🤗💖
A great video with variety and items of interest. With your new storage sheds, washer & dryer hooked up by Joe and your car and the Polaris arrival you are settling in fast. Tina & Joe complement each other's talents. Joe seems very capable at all life style skills.
Curious about the birch trees you felled re the solar panels. Nothing better for long lasting
wood fire heat than birch trees. The mountain shots on your Anchorage trip were fantastic.
Having a third driver is always great for emergencies. Also hope your neck issues heal up
quickly Tina......take care of your health above all else ! 👍👍🙏🏻
I luv and enjoy watching your family. I look forward to every upload. I want nothing but the best for you all. May God continue to bless your home.🙏🙏🙏
Amen and Amen. Speak on it Tina! I am so happy that Kellen gets a chance to enjoy the beauty of your family and Alaska. I also pray that his mom and family are healed.
Thank you!🤍🤍
😂Joe in a coat, hat, snow boots and shorts lol you guys look so happy, wishing you a very happy thanksgiving 🦃
Parker is a good kid he is a blessing from Jesus
Your dogs seem to love the cold ice and snow. Are they bred to withstand the cold on their feet. They sure seem to love it. As I continued to watch this saw you had purchased booties for them it will be interesting to see you put them on all 8 feet. LOL
I had the same thing with my neck. I lost grip in my hands. I had to get my neck fused because if I didn't, I could have lost all feeling in hands and arms. I have had a fusion in my neck for 7 years with no problems. Wish you the best
I’m so sorry your in pain!!sending healing prayers and blessings!!!
I’m so happy for you guys. Retirement is fun. We left California and headed to Oregon. Living the life !!!
With cold temperatures outside and very low air humidity, we used to try to hang on dryer racks at least one of the washer loads to raise the moisture level in the house. It's better for the skin and breathing than dry air and saves a lot on solar power, as dryers consume a lot of electricity.
Recently found your channel, watched and quickly subscribed! I’m loving your journey in Alaska. Parker is such a lucky lad. He’s learning things that will help him in the real world. Your beautiful dogs have settled well and I loved their little bootees! You make me laugh Tina. You are so down to earth. You put a lot into your videos. I don’t comment all the time, but wanted to let you know what an awesome family you are. I also hope your neck problem is sorted. Best wishes.
Thank you Linda!!🤍
Parker is such a sweet boy. Just an example of what good parents both of you are. Have a blessed Thanksgiving! 🫶🏻
I never thought the dogs would accept the footwear. We have tried these with our two Beagles and they won’t move and just chew them up. The ice salt on our streets gets in their pads and we are always having to clean it out on a winter walks.😀🇨🇦🐾🐾
Thanks for the neat videos! I love watching, have not commented much… buts still watch. I’m from California My brother died in a plane crash in Alaska (he’s in heaven an all is good!) but I enjoy seeing what Alaska is like since I’ve never been there. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have a beautiful family❤
Your symptoms in this video sound just like mine when I had a bulging disc. I got relief by getting Toradol injections. After the first injection the doctor told me IF it worked, it would take 5 days to get relief. On day 5 pain was gone. Less than a month later the pain and numbness returned, got another Toradol shot. Three months later, symptoms returned and had another shot. That was the last one and it has been over 10 years since I had a problem. Hope you can soon get relief because you have so much to look forward to in your new home!
Love the way you structure your videos. I enjoy the reality of the daily life and experiences. Of course the scenery too. I can relate to the cold and central Oregon high desert landscape. Also surprise spontaneous weather patterns. Cooking breakfast was fun to watch and getting the housewife pleasures of the washer and dryer. Yep men and machines, their power toys! Love all the trees.
Good job, Parker!!
I pray that you guys stay blessed and happy!
As happy as you make us feel with these videos!
May you always have good Internet!
😁💝💝
Love the knobs. I’ve been looking for some for my cupboards and having a hard time finding what I want.
Wake up time, you guy's are making so much progress in your new home, love following your adventures. 😎
7:42 What do you do when the roof on your outbuilding is all covered in snow in Alaska? Simple! You just order a new outbuilding 🙂
Thank you so much for teaching Parker how to wrap a gift in a gift bag. I never knew how to put the tissue paper in. Now I know how to put tissue paper in instead of just tossing it in the bag. Sorry about your neck pain. Praying for you. Take care and God bless you and your family. 🎄💕🎁😀❤️
So happy to see you guys having fun in your new forever life!
Parker is living his best life!!!! Thanks for sharing this and have a great Thanksgiving!!
lol i came to this channel years ago to learn about pickled eggs i think... what a change ... pretty cool.
At the beginning of the video Watching you drive up your lane to your cabin I was thinking, I bet that has to be such a satisfying and comforting feeling pulling up to your forever home this side of Heaven, our eternal home. So happy for you all and truly love watching you do life! You guys aughta connect with Joas and Priscilla and there kids from Montana Haven- Alaska Edition. They live up there. I love both there's and your show so much!!
Love them!! So glad you found us. Thanks for supporting our channel!🤍
It was awesome to see you guys having fun and enjoying your new life away from everything over here ❤🎉
It is so cute how Kellen watches Joe ...just absorbig the man knowledge.
Take care of yourself sweetheart speedy recovery on your neck😢
Always amazing how life becomes in the different seasons ....something possible, a very enjoyable activity in the winter ❄️ season ...so very cool watching the dogs joy as well 🤗... loving your many experience moments 🥰😉
I am so very happy you finally got your internet and can't wait to see what you do with your Alaska Adventure I think you are a wonderful family may God bless you
I’m impressed at Parker’s driving skills! 😮
Me too!😊
I had a neck problem that sounds about like yours. Just started like a crick in my neck and got progressively worse. Hands tingling etc. Went to neurologist and he gave me a shot of cordisone straight down on top of my shoulder between the bones. Longest needle I have ever seen. Hurt soo bad but stopped the pain and that was years ago and it has not hurt since. Hope you find some relief soon.
Yeah we're right there with you on the socialisation thing, we homeschool our 10 year old, same situation here, he has a couple of really great friends and gets together with the homeschooling group to learn basic marine biology, life saving, hiking and orientation, bushcraft etc.... Our 20 year old was never homeschooled - bummer but he's got his priorities sorted out and both our kids have big beautiful hearts. So many people assume that homeschooled kids are somehow disadvantaged, we say it's the exact polar opposite!
It wasn't that long ago in our history that all the kids were schooled on their farms, under a tree or with the local kids in a central paddock. We don't care anymore what people think they know, they don't know us and that's just fine. When my 20 year old was at school his entire year level wasn't allowed to play with kids in other year levels whatsoever, how is that natural? I'm 51 years old now (I look 30 so thanks Mum for the great skin genes) and I don't just talk to people in their 50's for crying out loud. I love that our son gets to know people of all ages, and I have to say that he's so much more sure of himself than I remember the school kids ever being.
Andrew, my hubby was eyeing off your Polaris Ranger, thanks Joe haha!
Love to you Tina and your beautiful fam Xx
Good morning, just found you recently and enjoying your Chanel very much. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. ❤❤❤
I just love you and your family Tina! You guys are in my heart and in my prayers! ❤️
Love you too friend! Thank you so much. 😊♥️
When our kids were young they'd go to Grandma & Grandpa's. My Husband & I would go Up North to our Cabin & Cut Wood for the Day together. It was usually around 10°~15°. We'd stay warm with our Coffee Breaks. The Best Memories together were made on those Days. I truly Believe those times made us Closer & Stronger. Praying you Heal quickly & your pain is gone soon. Thinking of you girly. Enjoy your time together & Stay Warm!💙🙏💙🙏💙
So awesome to watch you guys work as a family. Parker is getting so big, nice that he is getting know kids.
Oh your baby dogs! They are so gentle!!! I love them so much!!!!
Wow, love to see the love you three share. That is what family is about!!
Love you and the family and your precious dogs! Thank you for the interesting life you all have and for letting us sort of be apart of what’s happening. Looking forward to the next video. Hope you have able to see a doctor for your neck. I have something similar and when it acts up I wear a soft neck collar to help lift the neck up to relieve some of the pain. Yours sounds more serious and hope and pray for no surgery. ❤️
Thank you for your comment! 😊
It's good that you have available trees close by for cutting, makes it much easier! Love seeing the dogs having fun running about. Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm so glad I found this channel. But every video now makes me soooo jealous...😁
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.💞
😂
Prayers ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ you take care of your kids your way ! I have only seen two of your videos! I like you all keep up the good work!
Well you certainly accomplished plenty of necessary projects!!! 😊👍🇨🇦
Well it looks like you're all having a really great time in your new home which is great to see!! Tina, please look after your neck and herniated disc please as there is only one of you and Joe, P and the pups need you up and around!! Once you have all your own stuff there and sorted I can see you guys settling in even betterer than you think you will. Next time you have a live feed I will have that icy cold beer with you :)
Great video once again!!! Loved seeing Parker driving ...he did so good and is going to be awesome at it...next he will be cutting down trees!! Definitely need to get some skates for that pond for him....anxiously awaiting the next video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Looking great!
We use RO under sink/water filter/softener and dispenser.
Dogs pads - cream coating available like zinc we use to protect pads too. They can get burned from ice/sub temperatures. You will see a little discolored before raw pink.
Ask Vet but we use preparation H with medical pad and vet wrap if gets bad.
20f and lower is when it usually starts.
We have a lot of -35 to -45c fronts here. 5 minute rule for kids and pets.
Sooo happy you got your wheels back and everyone is doing great.
People's comments are obviously out of concern but most never experienced what you are living. Grain of Salt.
Watch the temperature for lubricant for chainsaws. It's warm enough now not to seize motor and lock chain while running. It's bad when that happens.
One reason I love those really sunny days when we hit negative. Warm chainsaw next to wood burner.
Repairs for neck reduce results.
C4 to C7 we kinda need.
Often it can fix itself but not repeatedly. I'm a good example of that unfortunately.
Stay warm and happy!
The last time we seen them temps was when we lived in Fairbanks. Thanks for all the good info! 😊
Great video, guys!! 😍😍xx People should just mind their own business and leave Parker be. He’s clearly a happy little boy. Bradley and Gunner look like they are loving the space, 😁😁 My 3 girls would love it, but not the snow (they are whippets, lol 😂😂)
Bless your heart I hope you get better soon
Ha ha about the worrying about socialization. I remember that big time when my wife and I decided to home school. It was never a problem, always easy to do with children you approve of and now our two children are grown, having children and doing great.
I agree with you. Keep being the parents God called you to be. Loved your video. First time watching. I just subscribed. Can't wait to see the rest of journey.
I love these long videos!!! First, that Joe is one Blessed Man!!! Second, You’re very very blessed to have Him! Now the bad stuff, Ms. Tina, I’ve been married 50 years and the one thing I can do good is tell when a woman is hard headed!! I have a good Friend Who’s an Orthopedic surgeon, showed this to Him, He said if You do have bulging disc the hardest thing You should be doing is wearing that sofa and rice collar out!!! Oh, Parker is one good Kid, Y’all won’t have to worry about Him. Please be careful, Y’all stay warm and safe, looking forward to the next video!!
Hey Roy! Oh I know friend believe me! I don’t wear out the couch or the rice sock. I know the importance of staying active within reason!🤍
Love watching you guys! You are all that is good in marriage, family and country!
Hope you guys have had the chance to watch "Died Suddenly" on Rumble. Praise the Lord your hubby retired before the mandate. God Bless you both.
Someone just sent me the link to it. We'll watch it today. He's technically not retired until Feb 1st...he's just on terminal leave. We've been fighting the mandate for over a year. Either way...we'll never get it. We applied for a religious exemption & it was denied. Joe has been threatened with involuntary discharge for over a year.🧡
You are a good mom and dad every school is bad teaching things you would not approve of.
Because sometime there friends are raise wrong and they influnence your kid. Great MOM
Happy Thanksgiving to the whole family🙏🏼❤️
I hope u get better GOD Bless y’all from North Texas n I’m with u on raising kids
A week and a half, you guys are killing it. I am amazed at all you have accomplished in such a short time! Joe is gonna surprise us all and drop some serious rap beats soon, I just know it....lmao
😂 😂
Have a Happy Thanksgiving in your new home.
Parker is enjoying his new adventure. I love it ! Please be easy with your neck, I understand that it’s hard to leave the fun stuff to your LUMBERJACK.. lol I pray y’all have a very happy Thanksgiving. God Bless
👋 HI! 🙂 from New Mexico! I got my coffee and so enjoyed your video of the Watson's family week. I got to smile so much 😊😁that I had to watch again! You all got so much accomplished and had time to enjoy the snow and boot skating🙃. Parker getting to drive. You're great parents.💯. Woohoo to Starlink. Tina you do fantastic editing. Thanks for sharing your life with this elderly lady. God bless you all and angels all around you and your family.
We lived in Eagle River Ak for 10 years, retired military now. We miss it so much. Seeing you drive into Anchorage looked so familiar.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from all of us in Colorado.
Hope you feel better soon.
To help save electricity get a clothes airing rack and place near your fire or heater.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 What a wonderful family you are. I just wanted you to know how impressed I am with your parenting skills! The proof is in the pudding…Parker is the sweetest , kindest little boy with a smile that can light up the world😘 God Bless you all!
Aw thank you Deb!🤍🤍
