The greatest book of wisdom of all time says if you raise a child in the way that they should go, when they are old they will not depart from it. You two are going to leave the world with three wonderful kids. Marriage is a partnership, not a fairy tale. However, if you get the partnership right, the fairy tale will follow. You two have figured that out. I so enjoy watching you. My favorite vids of the week.
It is so encouraging to see parents teach their children to be responsible, and to introduce them to greater responsibilities in a timely fashion, rather than to wrap them in bubble wrap. Kudos!
🤣 How times have changed... My parents didn't buy my vehicles. I had to mow lawns and detassle corn whatever odd end jobs cleaning up yards etc. Bought a moped at 14 paid for everything including insurance. Definition of teaching responsibility sounds like most Millennials these days...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@centosx I think you're missing the point. Think about how much further you could have made it if you could have bought a small truck instead of a moped because your parents knew they could trust you to take care of it and went 50/50 with you. Imagine that, after giving you more and more responsibility, they decided that after learning to change the oil, check your tires, knew how important road safety is, and the cost of ownership, you could have expanding your lawn mowing business with a vehicle and a better lawn mower with the help of your parents. That's how this works. You don't tell your kid to go work an entire summer for something that you already know they can handle, when you can more than afford to find their dreams and responsibilities, so that they can go further than you ever did. It's about developing a better legacy in your kids, not recreating it.
@@centosx It want simply bought for him. Carter earned that truck by doing the chores on the farm. And it's going to make everyone's life easier on the farm. Win win for the whole family
We had horses as a kid, so I drove our F-150 in the field at 12 pulling a trailer as my father and older sister were putting and stacking hay on it. Great way to learn how to drive.
Carters true character showed through with his excitement on the mini truck but also allowing his brother and sister to be the first to get in and check it out. Awesome sibling role model you guys raised! Congrats on always moving the farm forward.
Quite possibly your best video ever....and y'all have had a bunch of GREAT ones. Carter: "I thought we were coming down here to cleanup" had me smiling because he had no idea and was so appreciative. You packed a lot in this one, Erin. 👏👍
Yes indeed, they have put Carter into position to succeed, and I believe he will show mom and dad what he can and will achieve in his new venture, good luck to you Carter!
That young man is not only adorable he works hard and is a great helper!! A well deserved and needed gift! He's certainly responsible enough to handle it. I just love this!!!
Oh my lord, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the range of emotions cross your faces. Seeing Carters reaction and watching him drive off was magical, loved seeing the absolute pride and excitement you all felt. He's a credit to you, they all are. 💗
Cool, I loved your son's reaction. I like the truck too. I was driving on my Grandparent's farm at his age and those are memories I shall carry with my for life. P.S. Josh, you look very handsome with your beard trimmed up neatly.
Carter with his mini-truck is so cute! He should give it a name!! And it's so nice to see Binks, your kitty, doing better. Poor thing, she's been through so much. Glad to see she is sticking closer to home!
You kids made this old senior cry again tears of love!! Carter, you have been given a Big Reasonability son that most kids your age will never have. Please be careful and don't let your parents down. Wishing you all the best Carter!!
So pleased for Carter. He’s growing up and this will help keep him responsible. So much happiness and love for each other and your animals. Your cat looks like she’s recovering thanks to your attention and care.
congrats Carter. you work hard. you do the job as described by your parents. and the reward is beyond your wildest dreams. seat belt young man. drive slow, beware of your SISTER and BROTHER and the animals. respect your truck, keep it clean and it will serve you a long time. Proud dad moment for sure. Mom is all smiles too.
Awesome for Carter, it lets him know that you value his work and are trying to make it a bit easier for him! So happy for you all, and that huge smile on your face when you said, “Carter has the 2nd car in the family” , it makes my heart smile to see pure happiness!
How do you make a 74 yr old man cry? You show him a beautiful family so filled with love for family and nature, and living the way God intended us to live. God Bless you, Erin & Josh!
Its refreshing to see an wholesome happy family like this in these troubled times unlike the clown shows going on in other parts of the U S. As long has there are still people like you still around there is still hope.
A lovely episode! First truck, first spring birth, plus the usual fabulous atmosphere that your entire family creates, watching you is a lesson in how family life ought to be done.
The cutest thing ever .....the whole episode! Carter is so happy, and has been working so hard. The kid(s), the cat, The Leon and you two......so much love! Build was fun too. 😉
That’s an instilled memory a young man will recall to countless dinner-dates and forever after want to emulate for his own family. Perfection, guys. Perfection. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️💖
Ellie's thrill for the animals is adorable, you better get that girl a horse. She has passion, I see a veterinarian is your future. Bless her dear little heart.
Brilliant video. Happy times and the love and affection in your family is and should be an inspiration to all. Beard looks good Josh... Keep up the fantastic work on the house and the farm.
Well done Mom and Dad. The look on Carter's face was a true expression of his appreciation of what he felt at that moment. With the responsibility he has shown around the farm this is a well deserved bonus for him.
It so cool what you did for Carter and in helping the parents. Living on farm teaches so much responsibility for all of those that involved. Thank you and have wonderful week. PS Nice to see the cat again. :)
So cool to see how genuinely surprised AND thankful Carter was to get the vehicle. Also couldn't help giggling when Elle was squealing with joy about the new baby sheep. You'll have to feature Hayden in the next episode. Your family's joy is contagious!
Love everything that you guys do. Your skills at building & planning, your work ethic, the calm you both keep when things aren't quite right. Your fabulous kids & the way you speak to them as young people & the respect they give you guys, the love and care of your animals and the overall love you share for each other. It gets my mind off of the troubling issues around and makes me try & look at life in a more positive manner. Can't wait to hear the name of the baby goat!
Gosh, this brings back memories! Pawpaw used to throw us the keys at 12-13 and tell us to run down to the barn to get him some tobacco, or down to the local store and get him some. My parent didn’t find out until we were all grown. And it was in Yawkey, so no one around for miles! Great memories. ❤️
Congratulations Cater. What a Great Gift it will be so useful on the Homestead as you said. Will make chores so much easier. Carter learned to drive it quick also. Really neat that all sides lay down. Really good for loading and unloading. Congratulations on your new ewe lamb. She is cute. Mr. Leon is adorable and yes I agree with Josh. He loves you dearly. Ellie is so cute and growing so fast. Peace from Mineral County WV
we need a longer explanation and description of the Suzuki. where did you find it and what motor and drive train does it have? it's a great fit for your farm
I think Carter is really happy with the truck, the stonework looks very impressive, good to see the governor on duty keeping an eye on you, but the best bit was when lovely Ellie was thrilled to be cuddling the lamb. her excitement was very touching.
i learned 3 on a tree on our farm when i was ten.....you guys are awesome giving the opertunity to learn life skills fer yer kids ....ya make me smile in and out!
That's great, well done!!! Your son is at a perfect age to start off road driving. He will be such a confident and skilled driver by the time he gets his road license. Starting out on a manual clutch is wonderful too and the right hand drive is way cool! Excellent job on the stone work, it is really sharp looking (like the trimmed beard 😉). What a great shed your underdeck space has become.
Some mud/off road tyres and (and maybe a bull bar for moving Leon) plus a water bowser, first aid kit, small tool kit and a radio and Carter will be set👍
This truck will give Carter so many experiences, learning how to handle a vehicle, helping with the farm chores and what kid wouldn't love to tell his friends " I gotta a farm truck "!! It will be a good learning tool for him when he is old enough to drive on the road.The rock is really looking nice.
Hard work. Being responsible. Carter just went from 12 to 18. He’s respectful and appreciative and well beyond what his age is. Nice job mom and dad. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
And that’s the sign of a proud dad. The very end. Dad standing in the back and tapping the roof of the truck to signal his son to drive, confident in his son, so he remains standing. Little things like that show Carter he has a proud dad. Lovely family! I have 3 boys, the oldest starting college in the fall. They see the little things that show you love them.
Wow haven't seem Carter smile that wide since I started watching. Such a fun time for him and the kids getting that little truck for the farm. Happy for ya Carter your growing up fast and becoming that young man mom & dad need around the farm. You've proven you can Handle so much of the farm chores and now they've paid you for your hard work.Thats how we all grew up and the way we are suppose to grow up as Americans. Little Ellie is the cutest little girl on earth.shes juat precious with the farm animals but especially that new baby lamb. Love the banter between you two.Dont mind me I'm just here for quality control 😅🤣 so funny then I'm glad you agree with cutting the 45 Josh 😅😉 Leon just did not want to let yall close that gate.Cant we just leave it open mom. Haha I never did figure out what Ellie said near the end on the deck when yall were finishing up the rock on the wall. You said I will keep that and play it back to you when your 13 i think but I didn't get what Ellie said. God bless yall 🙏
Your love for one another is so honest and Genuine . It has been an honor watching your family grow up as you complete your many projects ...... Two programs I enjoy watching these days are Wild Wonderful Off Grid and Maine Cabin Builders ! BY the way the stone work looks amazing . Thank you
Thanks Josh and Erin for a great video. So many things happened here. The stone wall looks great so far, new truck for Carter and he is so impressed with it, your cat recovers nicely, the new lamb and the love you portray in your family. It is by far the best series on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you guys. ❤
@@elmanualdelgalanotoñal My apology. You are right. Leon is a huge character in this series and he acts very well especially when he closes his eyes when Erin kisses him. 😂
These 3 PRECIOUS gifts from God have anything but a sense of self-entitlement. For example...Carter being so thankful for the gift of the mini truck. You rarely, if ever see them sitting idly by w/an iPad/cell phone in their hand. Rather, they’re always busy about the family’s farm work. Reminds me of my mom’s stories of how they all pitched in around the farm, in the late 20’s/early 30’s. Refreshing!🥰
Awesome Carter, up and running now. Now would be a good time to introduce the young heifer and calf to halter training, it would pay to read up on it, but if you do just remember to not leave the halter on when they're unattended. The whole place is looking tremendous, and now a functioning farm. You guys are great, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🐨🙏🤟🇦🇺
The joy and happiness of your family is truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. It's one of the highlights of the week, and it's "must watch" for me an my almost 5yo granddaughter! It's one of the first things she asks me when we get together!
Oh my gosh you guys. God bless. Your entire family interaction with the animals crushes me to pieces. Your children will forever be engrained with life on the homestead. Amazing Josh & Erin what has transpired there. I literally am now at a loss for words. Keep up the amazing work that you all do as a family. There are many times I have shed tears with your videos.
What a great gift for Carter!! That will help him so much doing his chores😊 Great job mom and Dad! Also, Ellie is So sweet with the new ewe 🥰🥰🥰🥰 And Josh, You look Amazing with your fresh haircut and beard trim🤩🤩🤩 I bet Erin is Loving that, Beards can be pretty itchy and scratchy 😉😉😉 So not ce to see Hayden out with the family, Carter will be teaching him how to drive the farm truck in no time😊😊😊😊 Thank you for all that you share with us, I love this sweet family ✌️♥️🙏
Carter and Hayden will enjoy driving the Suzuki and they’ll thrive with the responsibility you have given them. Plus he’s driving a vehicle with the steering wheel on the correct side, wonderful family that share everything.
I drove all the farm trucks, trailers, tractors, all the implements and motorcycles by ten or twelve. All of it, farm life, the work, coordination, schedule, finishing jobs, creativity, imagination are skills that are priceless and I will never outlive them. I can't thank my family enough for that and countless other ethics and skills they taught me. You guys are an amazing family. I salute you as parents/teachers/preparers of generations and your children and their children will appreciate and love you in the deepest sense all of their days. Thank you!
Carter was ecstatic with his new farm truck which will be so useful. Congrats on raising your children to be considerate, responsible and hard-working. Bravo to you and Josh as what you have accomplished by yourselves is AMAZING. God Bless this family!
Hell yeah! Those mini trucks are the coolest, and it's right hand drive! Carter is going to have one heck of a time in that thing. It's also great how the first thing he thinks of is that it's going to help him with his farm chores. Such a responsible kid. He's gonna be one heck of a catch for some lucky lady in the future.
This channel is about building, a home, a family, a LEGACY. I have no connection to you guys, other than the YT subscription, but I'm so proud of you. No intention to be patronising, but just an (slightly) older guy loving your family and what & how you do. Sooo much love visible, great stuff, thanks!
This had me beaming from ear to ear, from seeing Carter’s delighted reaction, to hearing the cat is getting better to the brand new ewe. Thanks so much for sharing.

@@JCrook1028 Bingo!
Seeing Carters reaction made me cry. He's such an awesome kid. It's gonna be so good seeing him doing his chores with style now.
My brothers were plowing fields, and hauling hay in a big farm truck by the time they were 12. I think it’s great.
We had horses as a kid, so I drove our F-150 in the field at 12 pulling a trailer as my father and older sister were putting and stacking hay on it. Great way to learn how to drive.
My son was driving a tractor on the roads at 12. All our boys started driving by 10 alone on the farm.
I remember doing this during the summer at our cousins farm...small bales were a lot for a pre-teen/teen
Carters true character showed through with his excitement on the mini truck but also allowing his brother and sister to be the first to get in and check it out. Awesome sibling role model you guys raised! Congrats on always moving the farm forward.

The look on his face was priceless what a awesome gift
I so love this family! I’d bet this young kid is going to be a hard-working and successful businessman!
We all do
Yes indeed, they have put Carter into position to succeed, and I believe he will show mom and dad what he can and will achieve in his new venture, good luck to you Carter!
He is also a great helper. We have seen that.
Your children are so grateful for what they have and what they are given-it's very heart warming to see them respond to new experience!
😃 he’s a good kid he deserves it congratulations 🥳
CON GRA TULA TIONS !!!!!! 🙂
So happy for Carter, I know he’s a big help around the farm. Definitely make it more efficient. The wall is looking great.
That young man is not only adorable he works hard and is a great helper!!
A well deserved and needed gift!
He's certainly responsible enough to handle it.
I just love this!!!
The best gift ever. My dad was driving big farm trucks at 8yrs old, because he was one of the oldest. You not only got a truck, but a new farm hand.
Oh my lord, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the range of emotions cross your faces. Seeing Carters reaction and watching him drive off was magical, loved seeing the absolute pride and excitement you all felt. He's a credit to you, they all are. 💗
What a well deserved truck for Carter for all the hard he has done, not to be outdone by what all of you have accomplished. 👍
Cool, I loved your son's reaction. I like the truck too. I was driving on my Grandparent's farm at his age and those are memories I shall carry with my for life. P.S. Josh, you look very handsome with your beard trimmed up neatly.
I agree, his beard looks really good.
I agree, Josh looks great with his trimmed beard.
Totally agree! 🧔👍

You kids made this old senior cry again tears of love!! Carter, you have been given a Big Reasonability son that most kids your age will never have.
Please be careful and don't let your parents down. Wishing you all the best Carter!!
So pleased for Carter. He’s growing up and this will help keep him responsible. So much happiness and love for each other and your animals. Your cat looks like she’s recovering thanks to your attention and care.
Happy to see her recovering. Art least 6 of her nine lives were used on that one.
So happy your cat made it, because you love her and saved her.
Carter thanking you over and over….shows his gratitude and what an amazing child.
congrats Carter. you work hard. you do the job as described by your parents. and the reward is beyond your wildest dreams. seat belt young man. drive slow, beware of your SISTER and BROTHER and the animals. respect your truck, keep it clean and it will serve you a long time. Proud dad moment for sure. Mom is all smiles too.
I really loved seeing the cat! I loved seeing Leon! I love the truck for the boys! I love your channel! Hugs
I love you guys. You're a ray of hope in this challenging world.

How do you make a 74 yr old man cry? You show him a beautiful family so filled with love for family and nature, and living the way God intended us to live. God Bless you, Erin & Josh!
Leon is a laugh, a real character.

I was driving at 11 in rural area of the country. 😆 Congratulations Carter
Sometimes when I’m having a crap week, your videos are my only highlight
Thank you
X
What a confidence builder for Carter, to be trusted with the responsibility of his own farm vehicle! He’s showing real maturity. Congratulations!
I've wanted one of those for years. Can't believe I'm jealous of a 12 year old. Hug your parents, son! They're good ones!!!
That’s an instilled memory a young man will recall to countless dinner-dates and forever after want to emulate for his own family.
Perfection, guys. Perfection. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️💖
So awesome to see responsibility and integrity taught to the new generation. Great work all around!
Love the way you two work together
Ellie's thrill for the animals is adorable, you better get that girl a horse. She has passion, I see a veterinarian is your future. Bless her dear little heart.
Brilliant video. Happy times and the love and affection in your family is and should be an inspiration to all. Beard looks good Josh...
Keep up the fantastic work on the house and the farm.
Nothing beats a parents face when their blessing their kid. It is truly greater to give than to receive.
Great purchase for the farm. I'm sure your son will be happy to put it to work.
Well done Mom and Dad. The look on Carter's face was a true expression of his appreciation of what he felt at that moment. With the responsibility he has shown around the farm this is a well deserved bonus for him.

Can someone pass along to Carter that we're real proud of him!
He looks good behind the wheel!!! He is the one of your kids that is really interested in farm/ranching, isn't he?
BRAVO CARTER!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I love that Carter, he will learn that truck in a heartbeat; I am so glad you guys got that for him! ❤️
Gosh, this brings back memories! Pawpaw used to throw us the keys at 12-13 and tell us to run down to the barn to get him some tobacco, or down to the local store and get him some.

First thing Carter says... "Make farm chores so much easier".... That kid ais a freaking GEM!! Raised right and turning in to a quality young man!
i learned 3 on a tree on our farm when i was ten.....you guys are awesome giving the opertunity to learn life skills fer yer kids ....ya make me smile in and out!

In some states you can have a farm license when you are 13.
I learned how to drive on a manual and I’m eternally grateful. I can drive anything.
Manual gear? No problem at all!
Here comes new helping hands for upcoming projects. 😁
Thanks for update on the kitty. I was really worried for a worse outcome since we hadn't seen her. :)
So happy for Carter…he is a hard worker. BTW I must admit that Josh looks so much better since he trimmed his beard.
Some mud/off road tyres and (and maybe a bull bar for moving Leon) plus a water bowser, first aid kit, small tool kit and a radio and Carter will be set👍
This truck will give Carter so many experiences, learning how to handle a vehicle, helping with the farm chores and what kid wouldn't love to tell his friends " I gotta a farm truck "!! It will be a good learning tool for him when he is old enough to drive on the road.The rock is really looking nice.
I drove that same mini truck when I was a hunting guide in Idaho.
I've had a bull elk and 6 hunters in the back! They are awesome little rigs👍
Hard work. Being responsible. Carter just went from 12 to 18. He’s respectful and appreciative and well beyond what his age is. Nice job mom and dad. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
Stonework looks great guys. Adds richness to the elevation.
And that’s the sign of a proud dad. The very end. Dad standing in the back and tapping the roof of the truck to signal his son to drive, confident in his son, so he remains standing. Little things like that show Carter he has a proud dad. Lovely family!

Wow haven't seem Carter smile that wide since I started watching.
Such a fun time for him and the kids getting that little truck for the farm. Happy for ya Carter your growing up fast and becoming that young man mom & dad need around the farm.
You've proven you can Handle so much of the farm chores and now they've paid you for your hard work.Thats how we all grew up and the way we are suppose to grow up as Americans.

Thanks Josh and Erin for a great video. So many things happened here. The stone wall looks great so far, new truck for Carter and he is so impressed with it, your cat recovers nicely, the new lamb and the love you portray in your family. It is by far the best series on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you guys. ❤
nice that you did that for him but its ashame that the truck is right hand drive now when he gets into a western vehicle its gunna screw him up
@@petefroehling8704 Not really. Where I stay we drive right hand vehicles as a rule but I also drove a left hand truck. It is a matter of adaption.
And Leon ! Don't forget about Leon ! lol
@@elmanualdelgalanotoñal My apology. You are right. Leon is a huge character in this series and he acts very well especially when he closes his eyes when Erin kisses him. 😂

Now would be a good time to introduce the young heifer and calf to halter training, it would pay to read up on it, but if you do just remember to not leave the halter on when they're unattended. The whole place is looking tremendous, and now a functioning farm. You guys are great, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🐨🙏🤟🇦🇺
I think you are the most wonderful parents and have the most amazing kids love your video
I love how humble he was. And his first thought out loud was ‘that’s going to make farm trips so much easier’.
Way to go Carter! He’ll be the last man in America 🇺🇸 when he’s an old timer. Nice to see you all raising men! And a Lady.
The joy and happiness of your family is truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. It's one of the highlights of the week, and it's "must watch" for me an my almost 5yo granddaughter! It's one of the first things she asks me when we get together!
That wall is amazing your attention to detail is superb and go Carter keep on trucking hi from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day
My brother was driving a tractor at that age! I’m so excited for your son! Nothing like farm life!
Absolutely pulls at the heart strings watching you guy's❤🙏👍✌
Poor little thing, I am so glad that she is better; I would definitely keep her indoors.
What a great start to this video, the smile on Carters face was amazing
Great family vibes & togetherness x
Boy was Carter surprised. The love of animals and the outdoor, that's u bestowed on your children is priceless.
Oh my gosh you guys. God bless. Your entire family interaction with the animals crushes me to pieces. Your children will forever be engrained with life on the homestead. Amazing Josh & Erin what has transpired there. I literally am now at a loss for words. Keep up the amazing work that you all do as a family. There are many times I have shed tears with your videos.
As it should be!!!
In my family, all of us began driving at 13 (the last 3 generations).
Congrats, Carter; cool mini truck. Happy Birthday.. .have fun!!!!🌞
That Leon is HUGE! And that little truck is certainly the ideal vehicle to help with the farm chores for your son to use responsibly.
Parenting done right, damn straight. I can't wait to see the rock wall grouted, really cool.
7:25 Lucky man indeed! Lucky with stone, his wife and his family 🤪😊🥰
What a great gift for Carter!! That will help him so much doing his chores😊 Great job mom and Dad! Also, Ellie is So sweet with the new ewe 🥰🥰🥰🥰 And Josh, You look Amazing with your fresh haircut and beard trim🤩🤩🤩 I bet Erin is Loving that, Beards can be pretty itchy and scratchy 😉😉😉 So not ce to see Hayden out with the family, Carter will be teaching him how to drive the farm truck in no time😊😊😊😊 Thank you for all that you share with us, I love this sweet family ✌️♥️🙏
Carter and Hayden will enjoy driving the Suzuki and they’ll thrive with the responsibility you have given them. Plus he’s driving a vehicle with the steering wheel on the correct side, wonderful family that share everything.
I love watching Elly get so exited over the new borns! She has a pure heart when it comes to animals and they sense it. ❤❤❤
I drove all the farm trucks, trailers, tractors, all the implements and motorcycles by ten or twelve. All of it, farm life, the work, coordination, schedule, finishing jobs, creativity, imagination are skills that are priceless and I will never outlive them. I can't thank my family enough for that and countless other ethics and skills they taught me. You guys are an amazing family. I salute you as parents/teachers/preparers of generations and your children and their children will appreciate and love you in the deepest sense all of their days. Thank you!
Great to see the puddy cat up and about 👍🏼
Carter was ecstatic with his new farm truck which will be so useful. Congrats on raising your children to be considerate, responsible and hard-working. Bravo to you and Josh as what you have accomplished by yourselves is AMAZING. God Bless this family!
Hell yeah! Those mini trucks are the coolest, and it's right hand drive! Carter is going to have one heck of a time in that thing. It's also great how the first thing he thinks of is that it's going to help him with his farm chores. Such a responsible kid. He's gonna be one heck of a catch for some lucky lady in the future.
Go Carter, go!!!!!
You so deserve your first vehicle, with your parents as good examples, you will grow to be a fine young man….
The front looks so good! Can’t wait to see the landscaping that Erin has been waiting for.
This channel is about building, a home, a family, a LEGACY. I have no connection to you guys, other than the YT subscription, but I'm so proud of you. No intention to be patronising, but just an (slightly) older guy loving your family and what & how you do. Sooo much love visible, great stuff, thanks!
This had me beaming from ear to ear, from seeing Carter’s delighted reaction, to hearing the cat is getting better to the brand new ewe. Thanks so much for sharing.
