We Need To Do That, Obsessively - A Week in the Life

- Long ago, the descriptors “obsessive” and “obsessively” - became trigger words for Jess. She started letting us know she didn’t like it when those words were used and specifically asked us not to use those words. So, what in the world would prompt Jess to use a word that she has always not wanted us to use? The magical anticipation of a chicken nugget casserole. 😂

Miss Jess was talkative today!! I love when she's happy you can always tell cuz she talks a lot and does her little noises which are my favorite she is the sweetest!!!!♥️🥰🙏🏼🥰♥️
Thank you for keeping us up to date. You are going to be very busy! Sounds like a lot of fun! Your casserole looks so yummy. I will have to make that casserole.
# GOTTA LOVE JESS : ) Her communication skills are growing greatly!! I love to see her enthusiasm about cooking with Nathan and about giving a Report on her activities and work. : )
Great job Jess!!! Love cooking with Nathan!! Glad you got your camper back Val!
She has come so far since I started watching her a few years back! She has excelled so much and it’s fun to watch! Great job to her family for keeping her hopes and dreams alive! ❤
Absolutely amazing job explaining and articulating your schedule Jess!! What a busy grown up ❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I think I smiled during the whole cooking with Nathan segment! I got such a kick out of Jess and also watching Nathan's reactions to her in the background! You guys are awesome! Glad you got your camper back FINALLY Val!
I got a kick out of watching it too. 😂
Jess has the low down on all the things. So great! She has made such amazing progress. I love it!
Nathan has our old dining room table and chairs !
Oh cool!
Thank you Jess!
I think you did a great job and you did a great job explaining everything to us!!!❤
❤️
Ms. Jess . . . You’re a very busy lady. Popular, too! How I enjoy your videos.❤️☺️
Thank you so much!
I love watching her progress!
Us too ❤️
You are more patient than I am. I cannot believe that they kept it this long . am so glad you're finally got it back. I bet you can't wait to go camping.. Thanks for the video.♥️
Thank you!
Jess’s communication skills have improved greatly! She was full of news. I’ve never seen her talk for this long!
Great week for Jessica. Work, new food she tried & liked, gifts to open, cookies to make, board game night, whew! And Val, that camper situation, Not good! Glad you finally have it back! I hope when you go camping that all will be fine.
Thank you! Me too! 🤞🏻
What a beautiful family! Go Jessica!
OMG!! Ms. Val, I hope you’re not having to pay for ANY of this CRAZINESS. Good for you, on your, continuous, ‘middle man’ role. I hope no more problems arise, after this.🙏🏻☺️
Warranty covered everything. I wouldn’t have been as patient and nice if not. 😄
I’m a huge Nathan and Dana fan- just sayin ♥️🙌♥️
Yayyyy we have the camper back! “Are you excited?” (Jess’ voice) 😄😄
So glad to have it!
Jess you've got a good memory Nathan is patient Hannah is so sweet
Not me shouting out LOUD and alarming my husband when you showed your camper attached!!! 🎉🥳🎊👏🏼
😄
I’m so glad that you have your camper back.
Thanks!
Wow having a camper is a pain where the sun don't shine, I know that is a fantastic thing to have and you can go every where with it, but wow. The dinner looked so yummy glad that you got your camper back. Take care and have a great rest of your day.
Yeah, I hear you. I’m still trying to decide if it’s worth it.
Great video Jess! That chicken nugget parm casserole looked sooo good!!
Ooohhh Val! You were very patient...very. But I know you were /are seething, because I would be. Glad you got the camper back and praying you will have an enjoyable season.
Thank you! I hope we can enjoy it. This experience almost soured me on RV camping. And yes, I’m patient sometimes, but it’s what’s best for my own body I think.
Jayco needs to know about this dealership. You shouldn't have to go months without the use of your camper. I hope you can enjoy it now, Val.
I feel pretty sure that it’s mostly a corporate problem rather than a dealership problem. I’m probably going to write a letter to both companies. They seem to have a terrible working relationship and consumers pay the price.
❤ yes hi Jessica keep up the good work you are doing a good job love you all I'm proud of you ,
Thank you!
"Nugs casserole" sounds like the best thing ever :)
Love u guys
Hannah your patience is amazing! You have a true gift! Jess is truly fortunate to have you all!
Thank you!
Her independent videos are getting better and better♥️
❤❤❤thank goodness yr camper drama is finally over🎉 hope this is the last of its problems for you.
Thanks! Me too!
The Jayco saga has turned me off of campers. Guess I’ll be buying a school bus🤣😂🤣
😂
Glad you have your camper back!! That had to be so aggervating. 😀😀😀 Smile cause now that nicer weather is starting, you take off for the weekends on camper scaventures!!
So true!
Val, you are a class act. You impress me all the time with how patient you are. ❤
❤️
Jess does not need to take such big bites. She could choke taking big bites.
Jess is so fun!
"Let him do his thing"!
“Sorry, you happy?!” 🥰🥰🥰
Jess looks really tired 😢 I hope Jess takes smaller bites sending hugs and prayers
She’s been busy busy and missed a nap or two this week.
@@Shaping_Serenity that is understandable 🙂
Oh my God, we love Nathan who is Nathan to Jess?he so sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nathan is Jess's uncle
We’ve made similar using the frozen chicken Costco has that’s like chick fila . Turned out great too!
What’s the brand that’s like chick fil a?
@@Shaping_Serenity “just bare”
Sweet Jess❤
Aldi is such a great money saver, when grocery prices are so high like they are.
Glad you all have such fun making fun food together
It really is!
Hi y’all, Another great video! Jessica, I loves your work on cooking with Nathan Tuesday. You did an excellent job cooking and it looked so yummy! Thank you for talking to us and sharing your life!
God bless all of you! You’re all so loved! From Canadice NY ❤
Thank you! You too!
You are one of the most patient ladies I know. I would be wild! Lol!
😄
Are you all moving???
Jess you are a great assistant-you have the schedule memorized-you are so on top of making dinner and videos phone calls-very independent 😊
I know everything that has happened to Jess but! I would still tell her no big bites! Sorry 😢
What are you on about.. how she ate was fine!
@@anchovy48ohh sorry 😅you are one of them those well I’m sorry 😞 Jess is amazing! But she will have stomach issues eventually eating it soo quick! Just an observation! Not including chocking she can’t help it but she does stop doing it when repetitively told ?!!
Choking 😊
Brave_Rachel you are entitled to your thoughts and feelings about the large bites Jessica takes. I agree with you. I know Val cuts the food into small pieces and I understand the issues she's had to go through in the past.
You are correct that it can cause gastrointestinal issues. A good friend of mine has a family member who did not take the time eat properly and now they had to have surgery to have a G Tube placed and hopefully this will allow the gastrointestinal issues to heal. I know Val has told Jess to slow down when eating many times. There is no need for others to be rude to you because you care.
We talk to Jess about not taking such big bites and slowing down every day. Unfortunately, it almost seems like the bite size has gotten increasingly larger as she has improved her scooping skills. I have seen Jess choke on food many years ago and it was terrifying. I think we are going to set a new goal to work more on transitioning to a fork with meals that don’t need a spoon. Maybe that will help. She is a little resistant to the fork though, it’s a lot more challenging.
Jess is a PLANNER!! So organized in her thinking :)
Oh yes, ever the planner. 😄
Good Grief! Time to tell them to put that camper where the sun don't shine! I certainly hope you're being compensated. Ridiculous.
I just love Cooking with Nathan. I think Jess and Nathan need to have a day to themselves and get up to some dirty garbage antics!! 😂
Looks like a delicious casserole!❤️
campers do seem to be more trouble than they are worth. what a shame
Cooking with Nathan are some of my fav videos ❤️
That casserole looks good! Great job!
I sure hope it is fixed this time.
Me too!
Bless your heart, in the good way. We feel your frustration with the camper issue. Glad you finally got it back so you and Jess can get get to camping. Good job on Cooking with Nathan Jess!
Thanks so much!
Who is Nathan? I need a scorecard to figure out who all these people are?
Nathan is Val’s brother.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤good video, jess
Thank you!
What a thoughtful package. You attract such good ones Jess. Thank you for creating a joyful spot on TH-cam. 💜
Thank you so much!
How is Nathan related to Jess?
He's her uncle
I might need to try it Jessica.
Sounds so good
Love you Jessica
Love and 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕 Sam
What state do you guys live in??
Great week and Val I am so happy you got your camper back. I see a camping trip coming soon for you and Jess ❤❤❤❤
I hope so too!
She brightens my day. I just love when she calls people honey 😂❤
💕
I’m just so sorry about your camper. Camping World is an awful company. Customer service is the worst. And the thing is that they don’t even care. Once they get your money, you mean nothing to them. The entire corporation is trash. You deserve so much better. I’m angry for you if that makes sense.
It actually wasn’t Camping World. I think it’s an industry wide problem
@@Shaping_Serenityit definitely is an industry issue. There’s an issue with a shortage of trained technicians as well as warranty issues taking forever to be approved. I’m sorry you got caught in this bottle neck.
I’m so glad you got your camper back! How long were you without it?
5 months and 6 days.
The huge bites she took . Afraid she was going to choke.
⁉️err you don’t need to be afraid…
@anchovy9405 why do you find it necessary to be so rude. Others are allowed to voice their concerns about Jess. They are justified because it can cause serious gastrointestinal issues. Val has told Jess to slow down and take smaller bites.
@@Lonesomelane-58 lolz… Oh sticky beaks… this family have lived together for a very very veryyyyyy long time and know Jessica better than ANY of you! They do not require yr unsolicited advice on this matter and handle it perfectly well all by themselves! How about you let some strangers come around and watch how you live and tell you what yr doing wrong and how to handle yrself better when then barely know you! Sound like fun.!?! This family does NOT share every moment of their life on here! So you really don’t know the ins and outs of their everyday life.. therefore inappropriate to leave comments such as these! If Val and family wanted advice they would absolutely ask you all for it in the comments- but they have not! So know yr place when you leave one.. you mistake “rude” for calling you out on yr foolish comments! If that’s rude then I will wear the badge with pride… enjoy the rest of yr opinionated day…🙋🏻♀️😬
@anchovy9405. Oooooo I hit a nerve. Lol. You think only you can post comments laughable at best. This family chose to start a channel and put their life out there into the world. The world can respond and comment. No one has said anything other than to post comments of concern. While these clips are just short fragments of seven days, Val or Hannah chooses to post what the viewers see. I find it hilarious that you think only your opinion matters and you have the right to attack others and their concern for Jessica. These comments aide in their paychecks from you tube,Facebook, Instagram and any other platform they post on. This is how they have been able to stay home and care for Jessica. Exactly who appointed you to censor the comments subscribers make? No one did. I find you 😂 hilarious. Val has responded to comments in the past and is quite capable.
@@Lonesomelane-58 😆ah the response you say when you have no other response…. Good news! My nerves are fully intact, zero harm done but thanks so much for yr concern … i am honored you are spending so much time responding to me.. I can go all day but wouldn’t want to stop you from getting on with yr next round of judgy unsolicited opinion of others… ❤️ maybe you should just enjoy life, you sound very stressed … fyi I do not need you to explain anything about this families TH-cam channel.. I have been here and supported them from the start so no education necessary🙋🏻♀️
Great job Jess! I love watching your videos! You do such a great job!
Thank you so much!!
Jessie so sweet. It’s kind of Nathan to let her help him cook. He’s a great uncle
How is Nathan related to Jess?
He is her uncle.
That was one happy Bessie at Nathan's!
Oh yes!
Love your videos Jesse is doing a great job on the video
Glad you like them!
I notice you call a lot of things a casserole 😅! Looks amazing 🤩
Probably a midwest/south thing. We have lots of casserole in Ohio too 😂
I hope your not paying for the water heater . It was thier fault . What a nightmare .
No, they didn’t charge me.
Hannah have you been editing the other day in the life you have done nine maybe ten or so will you go live pretty soon good on jess progress on doing things on her own and will you do chats in between the livestream and a Q/A also
Val I like your hat … sorry this camper thing has been an ordeal.
Thank you 💕
