Hello. Your son’s witness of you being a loving husband, father and kindness to others will speak volumes to him. Watching this family day/day speaks loudly to all of us regarding you and your wife’s parenting skills. 💯✔️
Hello from Tucson. Arizona. My husband and I found your channel about 3 weeks ago an have been watching all your past episodes for the last two years, starting with the purchase of your land in Idaho. You and your family are so amazing and we are so thrilled to see how you have built everything from your tiny home, pump house, critter habitats to your forever dream home. Both of you show so much love, commitment and compassion for everything you do, from home schooling all your children to building your beautiful home all on your own with no real experience is amazing. I love your relationship with each other which reminds me so much of the relationship my husband and I have and we will have been married for 55 years in April. Thank you also for your compassion and devotion for families and children who so desperately need help. I look forward to watching all the many projects yet to come. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I know it is not easy to produce your videos, but the quality and photography is stunning. One of the very special parts of your videos is Melisa’s very philosophical closing comments! Thank you, Sharon
One parenting thing I would like to share that I have witnessed. My sons dad was very mechanically inclined and could build anything like Jeremy can but the one thing he lacked at was patience when teaching my son all those things. He could just do it faster so he would just take the tools out of my sons hands. Be patient, let him take his time and let him fail, and then let him the correct his mistake. There are different ways of doing things to accomplish the same goal. Let him find his way and his confidence will grow immensely.
Usually it is Melissa's closing that is so heartfelt that it may bring tears to some viewers eyes. But I have to admit today it was Jeremy's part Earlier in the video when he was talking about his oldest son And wanted to teach him how to be a good person in a good role model and man that brought tears to my eyes.Bravo! I know you're going to do it. The two of you are going to do it I just know it
As a Canadian currently living overseas in Poland…..watching you guys cross the boarder and get Timmie’s made me so homesick! Glad you liked the donuts 🍩 ❤🇨🇦🇺🇸
I cannot express in words how much I enjoy watching your family !! I wake up Saturday mornings with a smile knowing I get to see what new adventure you’re doing now!! I was sad Neveah didn’t get to have donuts🙁… but I think Jeremy enjoyed enough for everyone 😂!! The views from your property are so majestic and breathtaking. Ty for sharing your lives with me ❤️😊❤️… your family is in my heart and prayers always🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
As a Canadian, this was so fun to watch. Welcome to Canada! And Neveah, I am also gluten free, so I know how it feels for everyone else to be eating donuts without you. Sending hugs
I'm 68 and it seemed about 15 or so years ago my stomach just refused to digest donuts because were I worked the women always brought in donuts but if I ate one it would just seem like it would just sit in my stomach and grumble and it just felt really weird and awful and from then on I have never eaten another donut.
Our youngest son (16) is a junior in high school with Type 1 diabetes and he also has celiac. He finds it harder to deal with the gluten free aspect than keeping his blood sugars on point. His older brother (25) now lives in another state and has often expressed his appreciation for us spending quality time with him in his teens much like you guys are doing with your children. Thank you for posting wholesome family content that is very refreshing and relatable. I hope that someday our paths will cross.
I know I say this every time, but your family is simply beautiful. It's a pleasure to watch your time together every Saturday morning. Watching you treasure the things each of you have a love for whether it's donuts, horses, fitness, or family is so good for my soul.
My son who is 12 turning 13 this summer is doing 10 km marathon in April in Vancouver 🇨🇦 we plowed a path around our acreage for him and I to train together ❤️. I have been loving spending our little bit of extra time together getting in shape for his run☺️. I didn’t realize how close you guys are to Canada. I hope you liked your little visit ✌️
@Rob G50 Nevaeh , for future reference, not being a spelling nancy, just a helpful heart. 🤗💞🙏✌️😀 To help remember Sir, it's simply "heaven" spelt backwards. Bless you 🙏💞🤗✌️👏
I got a kick out of how you guys bothered to put a gym together. For me,lugging hay, cleaning stalls, and lugging bags of feed around... for my horses and chickens kept me... exhausted., The day I sold my horses my body fell apart. ; (
I think you should consider lining the floor with rubber flooring for protection. Otherwise have at it and I am so happy for your family that both mother and father are awesome parents. You all fill my heart with so much joy.
I absolutely love how you two have mastered "family." None of us parents ever do it right all the time but you two do what IS right: invest time into your children. And THAT is what you do so very, very well! Keep it up! Love from MN!
This is not the first time one of your videos has brought me to tears. I just love your family. The love, guidance, and faith in God you have shine through in everything you do. So many can learn from your example.
Very beautiful, slim, smart, nice , fine and pure family. You are both true, sincere devoted to children and sweet parents.May God bless and mercy upon you all.
Another stellar video modeling parents' best practices ending with Melissa's words of wisdom! Can it get any better than this?? YES, with every posted video. Thank you Team Mermy!
I kept saying “yep,yep” to everything the pastor told you! We did the same. Parenting is hard but the most valuable thing you can produce with your life. WAY2GO!
My daughter was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer at 18, the Doctors believed she had it since she was maybe 8 years old. It was slow growing and never picked up on physical exams. The Doctors had no reasons, but I attributed it to the long hot showers she always took and the Radon was coming in through the water. She was the only one in the family that always took real long hot showers. She is 43 now and Cancer Free.
Hi , I have thyroid disorder and have had it for 25 years, they have me on medication called carbimzole , I would always lose weight and my hands and feet would be hot but i would also sweat too, I'm glad your daughter is better now, I'm 51 and still have the problem but with medication i work through it , enjoy the relationship you both have 😊
You guys are the coolest family, ever! Great parents, great kids, great teachings...etc. You are inspiring! I love how you nurture your kids' passions.
Just wow n awesome!! Children should be afforded all the opportunities their parents can give them! Nice to see a great example of family fun and parenting! Love y’all 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕💕
I trained with my daughter for 5k 10k and half marathons. We did close to 30 races together. It was the best time of our lives. She trained me and I finished every race!!! The time together....priceless!
Hello from London. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and your wonderful family. I love watching your videos each week. Hugs and blessings to you. Yvonne
You are both such an incredible blessing to your children in everyway. My Mom spent a lot of time with my sister and I she taught us how to be mothers, how to run and keep a home, how to cook, do laundry, manage food/groceries and plan for meals with a budget. She taught us how to go thru our closests at the beginning of each season and make lists of what we needed and move out what didn't fit any longer. She taught us to give to those who had less than we did, and we didn't have much. She taught us to read and to be independent thinkers. Our Dad, due to working away a great deal of my childhood didn't have a lot of time with me as a child. God gave me an opportunity to get to know my father in a much different way when he called me and asked to come live with me while he waited to have a lung transplant (COPD , 40 years of smoking). I left home when I was 15, so I had not lived with my Father in a very long time. I lived on the other side of the Country and was 31 when he came to live with me. I became his soul care provider he was extremely ill and frail and at end of life stage when he was put on the transplant list. After 2 months he was given a second chance at life. Then came the grueling rehab which he wasn't anticipating and was extremely angry about (hed been in a wheel chair for about 6 years and didn't really understand that even with new lungs his legs would need rehab to work again). There was a lot of living that went on in those months, we came to know each other as adults and he shared many things with me I never knew about him, God gave me a blessings by allowing me to be in a place in my life and career where I could spend a great deal of time with my Dad and support him physically, emotionally and spiritually through the last phase of his life. Sadly, he was not able to truly commit to all the requirements of being a translated person. In retrospect he was never really a very good candidate for a transplant. My Dad was a very smart man, while he only went to grade 8 he was a self taught mechanic could drive/operate anything that had wheels or treads, and break it down and put it back together again. He drove the largest of equipment in the woods of Vancouver to the snowplows in New Brunswick, but he didn't have that something that was required to be your own health advocate, to take your temperatures daily (or multiple times a day) take his 25 perscribed medicines ( needed to stay alive) keep them on time, not mixed up, eat regularly and most importantly to continue to exercise the new lungs. Long hours spend in deep depression lying down caused fluid to build on the lungs over and over again. He was air lifted back to the transplant hospital 3 times and then back to live with me again for a few months, then back to his home many 1000's of miles away. Despite many tears and begging he wouldn't just live with me permanently and sadly succumbed to his illness a few months later and passed away 6 months before he turned 65. When I see how you are both so involved in your children's lives on the one hand it makes me sad that I didn't have a Dad who spent really any time with me or my sister as children, I am then reminded of the huge blessings we were both given with a Mom who worked double time to provide us with the skills we would need to be loving Mothers and wives and independent working women. God intervened and gave me a 2nd chance with my Dad and I will forever be grateful for that time with him. Many of us have messy relationships with our parents and sometimes when I look at this incredibly loving and STABLE family unit, I feel a pang of self pity...but, as fleeting as that is I am also then reminded of the many blessings I DID have as a child and then as an adult child with both my parents. I am now my Mom's health advocate and last year she was severely over medicated while in hospital for a a very serious blood infection. I also live very far from her as well, but I listened to my instincts and was able to peice clues together and figured out they had made several mistakes on her meds and she was being extremely over medicated and was being kept in a state of delirium because of it, I intervened and was able to get several of the meds stopped, she quickly gained her cognitive abilities bak. I'd be faced again telling a parent they had to go to rehab and once again, I was on the receiving end of a very tired and frightened parent who had to let their anger and fear out somewhere. After a lot of talk she went to rehab and made an amazing recovery. It has been my honour to help both my Dad now my Mom with their health and whatever else comes up. I share my story in case anyone else watching might feel a little like I do sometimes..and think, wow, what would life had been like with two incredible attentive parents, and then I push those crazy thoughts aside, and replace them with gratitude for what I did have versus pinning for something I didn't have. I am so grateful to have found your channel and to be a part of your incredible journey, you are doing so much with this channel, more than you can likely ever know.
I went through the same things with my father!but both of my parents were alcoholic And I ran away from that place at15 I got married and hated it, divorced at 23 took my father in when he was very sick he quit drinking and died at 65 I have no regrets for the life I live ! Best wishes for your life you must be a very good person !💞💞💞🇨🇦
The good news is your son has spent the last 13 years learning by watching you be a good man. Words can be so hollow anyway, especially if one's actions don't match those words.
That's awesome setting the fitness room up and training with your son and getting the rest of the family involved. You both have wonderful relationships with your kids. Love it! :)
My children are grown. But it's truly lovely to watch your children just being children. Your oldest son looks so much like his dad. My oldest grandson is a little younger than your son.. My granddaughter will be 18 this year and my youngest grandson will be 7 in June. My two grandson's lost their baby brother two weeks ago. I hadn't gotten to meet his little precious self.One day in heaven though. It is a joy to watch this particular video of a family being a family.
Glad to see you got to experience Tim Hortons ❤️ Jeremy it great to see you got to spend the day with your son doing something you both love and if he turn out anything like you Jeremy he will be just fine❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful! 🤩 In 1973, my 6'7" father died (of complications of Multiple Sclerosis/pneumonia) a month before his 44th birthday when I was four months shy of my 13th birthday. I missed out on a father-figure as a teenager, but it all turned out okay, thanks to my loving (late) mother. You're a fortunate young man, Kaimani! Continue to make your parents proud of you! 🤩👍🏾
It was nostalgic to see the scenery around Creston! I lived there for about 6 years from 1974 to 1980. I could see the same mountains from our house as we see in every video. We used to come down to Bonners Ferry to shop for cheaper food and cheaper gas.
The shot of the night sky with the stars is beyond words. Such a beautiful setting with the mountains. Spot on with the parenting of the kids. I felt bad for Nevaeh and the gluten issue…..great video. Thanks. See u next time
It's so nice to see parents who have the same values ...that l practice....l see so many children who never get the right guidance or values....keep up the good work
Your son falling asleep in the truck made me laugh. When mine was that age, didn't matter where or what time we got in the car, he was out like a light within 15 minutes of the drive! Thank you for taking the time to explain why it is so important to spend time with our children, teens in particular. They need good role models to learn the basics of manhood - be ready to take responsibility for yourself, treat others with respect, what it means to be a man and to be a great husband and wonderful father. For girls, I know from experience that a father's respect and love is what they need the most to be able to navigate the dating game. I didn't have a girl but from working with teen girls over the years, it has taught me at least that much. By the time teens hit 12 and 13, they need good role models. Both you and Melissa are doing a great job!!!
Great vid...such an awesome 'family dynamic'. Support; love and caring for other family members; providing security and a sense of belonging; open communication; making each person within the family feel important, valued, respected and esteemed.
Such a great video! So awesome that you are taking your fitness seriously! I go to the gym 6 days a week and I love it! Melissa is correct! Talk to your children, get to know them! You and Jeremy are excellent parents and you have a wonderful family! Thank you for sharing!
The face of that mountain outside your backdoor is awe inspiring. It's probably changing constantly with the changes of weather. I'm in my 60s and go through a daily exercise program to stay limber and build strength. It's working. It's never too late to start.
I miss Tim Hortons! When I lived in NY, there was one right down the street. I'm now in Florida where it's not available. So that gives me reason to go back, see family and get my Horton fix !!
You are great parents, and your kids are some of the best I've ever seen. You are so wonderful to your kids. You made them a beautiful home. There's so much love in your home. I bet the donuts was great. Keep showing us your lives. God Bless You All.
Great advice for raising kids. Every child is different but the same, growing up in the same household. It is so important to know what their wants, needs and expectations for their lives are. You are doing a terrific job of dialing in to the kids. They are wonderful children. Yes there are things that are behind the scenes that you address, but you can see their personalities on here and they are well behaved and adorable children. Hats off to you both. You are great parents. Lol I always say "kids do not come with a set of blueprints". Would be nice though. Would take out all the guess work in raising them. But where is the fun in that!
Love your dedication to your children's passions. FYI from one Canuck to one Yank the preferred name for donuts balls is Timbits. But donuts balls is a fun name too. P.S. love all that you do to keep family values a top priority.
I always love to see your horses!! And the beautiful scenery!! And good for all of you in wanting to stay healthy and wanting to spend time with your boy 👍🏼
Love it! You all are such wonderful parents. My son has been working out with his son for about 5 months. Amazing transformation in his 14 almost 15 yr old. Great bonding time. Love seeing your son helping to build the equipment also.
❤❤❤Jeremy, you did such a great job on the backsplash. It looks amazing. Melissa, I think that is such a fun way to do Valentine’s Day for the kids with the tree. I just love your family and watching your journey. You are a beautiful family. And Jeremy, it’s clothes shopping time. Lol thank you for the wonderful family content. I look forward to watching your videos every Saturday morning. ❤❤❤
Y’all are amazing parents! Seeing that each one of your children are their own person with their own wants and needs is must in knowing how to nurture each one! Gods Blessings to you and your family 💜
That's awesome guys! Not will you only build memories, you add a lot of healthy years to your lives. Wow, what a journey... Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
I live in Western NY near the Canadian border and we have Tim Hortons here and I do have to say that their coffee is superior to Dunkin. Glad you enjoyed your first Hortons trip!
Yea! Welcome to Canada! Nevaeh, I get the gluten-free problem. I just started a keto diet and I truly miss eating Tim Hortons donuts. Sometimes it sucks. But eating healthy is much more important to us right now. God bless your endeavors with your health and exercising. I love you encourage your children. Thank you for all your inspiration 😊😍😘🤗
Welcome to Canada, I like your trip to Tim Hortons! I am from PEI, Canada. You guys are an amazing family! Thank you so much for sharing all your days of building your new family foundations. Thank you for sharing all your Love and inspirations to others! I pray for you all, God's many blessings! Joy! Teresa
Great parenting advice, listen and talk to your kiddos, be part of their lives when they are young and they will always be part of your life when you are older. Loved the donut trip and the gym is a great setup for the whole family.
Mmmmmm, Tim Horton donuts and the Tim bits ( small ones). I miss those. Thanks for the memories. Much luck with the exercise/ health regimen. Enjoy those young ones while you can. Make great memories. Peace!!
I just want to say you both are such great parents and you have raised amazing children. You can see the love that Jeremy has for Kimani and it is so cool to see. It must be such a proud moment to be able to teach your son what it is to be a successful man and how to succeed in life. You two are an example of what great parents look like!
Hi , I'm an English lady watching your videos, and I am amazed on how you all push yourself for a better life, well done, keep going, it doesn't matter what age you are, if you can make a different 😊
Don't get too used to teasing your son about being short. My oldest grew 3 inches in ONE summer between 8th grade and his freshman year in high school. Then, by the time he graduated, he was 6'8"...from 5'8" to 6'8 between 8th grade and high school graduation. You're right at the end of his "kid-ness". Enjoy it. ♥
You got me this time. So True. I had 5 and helped with part of the raising. (work) The youngest is 44 now and he asked me to write a letter to his youngest who is celebrating 12 this weekend. In a flash, they are growing and your hitting 70.
How did Jeremy learn to be all the things he wants his children to be? Do that. It worked. I'm happy to hear your cross border experience was so good. Omelet bites are gluten free as long as your daughter can tolerate a chance of cross contamination in a busy facility. You got this.
hes a brilliant Father and husband friend i am so amazed that brilliant mind of his can do alot of things unable to do because of my health issues but i enjoy watching him build that house from scratch his wife is also amazing with her commercials for the network and herself her children just super amazing as well i am watching for the short time where is the time going ? have a great week ahead
@@cmclaren7 Well ,thanks for your mean -spirited input that wasn't needed , wasn't welcome and which @Glenna Miles proved you completely wrong. Of course Nevaeh went to a Donut shop , b'cos she was with her FAMILY . She didn't complain, she was just noting the problem with anyone being "gluten free" at that particular shop. No need for you to be ungracious and ugly about it; only serves to highlight your lack of grace & mercy ; these are your failings, not hers or theirs as a family. Let me encourage you to do better and not expose your inadequacies on a public worldwide channel; that in particular expounds in sharing grace, love, and mercy to all. In other words, Lift your game to meet their high standards , you'll be amazed at how much more refreshing it is to offer goodness instead of ugliness. Selah. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏✌️👏
I sure relate with Niveha and the gluten free stuff...everytime we do something special or go out... I usually can't get what I would like...but whatever is available that I can have
Just finished the video and I want y’all to know our tree is not only STILL up but also will be up all year 🙀 That’s right ! We are both new septuagenarians and as y’all mentioned in the video, time appears to move faster every year. Well, we finally caught up with and though the tree was up and lit, no ornaments were on it, SO for Christmas 2023, we’ll be up and running well in advance. Every other day David puts on an ornament and I put on one every other day thus covering the days , weeks, months AND THE TREE ! (10:20 am) We and y’all have a healthy quirky streak…and we embrace it like we’re delighted to see that y’all do, too🎄❤😸😺
I used to have a Christmas wreath that I hand made from tree branches that I kept up all year one time and we decorated it for different seasons we really enjoyed it ! Have also done it with Christmas trees! We had a large family with natural kids, adopted , and kids of our heart. Each collected different things ie snoopy, eeyore, bears, and it was fun finding there different themed decorations for each season There all adults now except for our 14. Yr old and I still decorate and give them a themed decoration each yr! My oldest will be 42 this yr and I still send her eeyores when I find one ! All 12 are the lives of my life and now grandkids and soon to have are 4 th and 5 th great grands kids they grow so fast nice to see you enjoying your family with Speical Trips to the donut shop 🥰
I like what you said about knowing your kids. Spot on. And I’ll just add respect your kids. Kids learn to respect others when they are respected. Good job your kids are great
Fun fact I was born in Canada. My Dad served 20 years in USAF. I raised a boy & girl by myself. It was difficult being both Mom and Dad. Jeremy seems like the perfect male role model. Watching the 2 bond over while purchasing and building this gym was priceless.
Haha, I'm really interested watching this. About a year ago, I drove to Canada for business. They let me in without much problem. But I got detained coming back to the USA 🇺🇸 because I did not have a passport. It took about 45 minutes sitting in the building while they verified my identity. Shortly after that, I got a passport! 😆 😜
@@jenniferrescott1149 amazing, right? I guess it was good that they checked because people could have a fake driver's license, but it should be standard criteria for everyone. 🤪
It all depends on who you run into... n how bored they are.. they took my cousins car apart once before thought he was smuggling drugs lol usually we got welcome back home but we lived right across the border basically so they didn't keep us much I think once they individually questioned us kids separate about where we went n what we did n what we wore bringing back... that was when we lived in California n used to go there for the summer so back in like 1990s. My passport expired n so did my kids so maybe I should renew then for the summer so easy thru... but in past we went without passports no problems
@@katya03316 Yes, I knew lots of people who would regularly go in the 90s with only a license and birth certificate, so i thought it would be ok. Especially because i got into Canada relatively easily. I think entry into the US got stricter after 911, though. I just didn't realize it. I'm fine with it 😀
Your day to day interaction with life influences your children the most. It is obvious your love of your children and each other shines through❤️. Children became what they see. Your beliefs and ethics are very obvious , don’t worry you guys are doing a wonderful job as parents.❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

Watching your son sit on your lap and hug you. I wish I could hug my mom. I miss her so much. Nothing like the love of a mother. Serendipitous

I have Celiac Disease. Yes it does suck sometimes.
I'm 68 and it seemed about 15 or so years ago my stomach just refused to digest donuts because were I worked the women always brought in donuts but if I ate one it would just seem like it would just sit in my stomach and grumble and it just felt really weird and awful and from then on I have never eaten another donut.
Nice! Parenting never ends and yes....we don't always get it right. But it sure is an awesome adventure. You guys are doing great!
Thank you ❤️
It’s beautiful seeing parents who value the privilege it is to be a parent. You’re so inspiring!
Our youngest son (16) is a junior in high school with Type 1 diabetes and he also has celiac. He finds it harder to deal with the gluten free aspect than keeping his blood sugars on point. His older brother (25) now lives in another state and has often expressed his appreciation for us spending quality time with him in his teens much like you guys are doing with your children. Thank you for posting wholesome family content that is very refreshing and relatable. I hope that someday our paths will cross.
I love ❤️ it. You guys are killin it.
The fact that your older son is happy and not jalous about you spending time with your youngest tells a lot about the education you gave them
Look up Kyani products Karl
💖💖
I know Tim Horton’s is everything! Don’t forget the coffee! Wish I were there! Fun times. Now to get back into the U.S.
I know I say this every time, but your family is simply beautiful. It's a pleasure to watch your time together every Saturday morning. Watching you treasure the things each of you have a love for whether it's donuts, horses, fitness, or family is so good for my soul.
Bravo 💕!!! HOW Wonderful!!! We have Tim Horton's here in Western Upstate New York. Such A Beautiful Family 💕🙌!

To help remember Sir, it's simply "heaven" spelt backwards. Bless you 🙏💞🤗✌️👏
I got a kick out of how you guys bothered to put a gym together. For me,lugging hay, cleaning stalls, and lugging bags of feed around... for my horses and chickens kept me... exhausted.,
The day I sold my horses my body fell apart. ; (
Its never ending. Im 70 and you’ll live longer🎉
I think you should consider lining the floor with rubber flooring for protection. Otherwise have at it and I am so happy for your family that both mother and father are awesome parents. You all fill my heart with so much joy.
We did, the black is rubber mat
You guys drove into Canada to get donuts? Jeremy must be an ex-police officer! Those babies sure are lucky to be your kids.
LOL, LOL
HE IS
Blessed, no Luck!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉
I once worked at a bakery when I was a teenager. I ate enough donuts to last several 100 year lifespan. Good for them.
Louisville, Ky has at least a dozen bakeries better than Tim Hortons.
I absolutely love how you two have mastered "family." None of us parents ever do it right all the time but you two do what IS right: invest time into your children. And THAT is what you do so very, very well! Keep it up! Love from MN!
Thank you so much 💓
Agreed!! 💯 ♥ #davesandersstepdaughter
This is not the first time one of your videos has brought me to tears. I just love your family. The love, guidance, and faith in God you have shine through in everything you do. So many can learn from your example.
Very beautiful, slim, smart, nice , fine and pure family. You are both true, sincere devoted to children and sweet parents.May God bless and mercy upon you all.
Another stellar video modeling parents' best practices ending with Melissa's words of wisdom! Can it get any better than this?? YES, with every posted video. Thank you Team Mermy!
How ye gladen my heart with your interaction wit your children, you got nothing to worry about raising your eldest boy to be good person😇💚👏🍀
you guys are already way ahead of the parenting curve , you have a fantastic family
I kept saying “yep,yep” to everything the pastor told you! We did the same. Parenting is hard but the most valuable thing you can produce with your life. WAY2GO!
My daughter was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer at 18, the Doctors believed she had it since she was maybe 8 years old. It was slow growing and never picked up on physical exams. The Doctors had no reasons, but I attributed it to the long hot showers she always took and the Radon was coming in through the water. She was the only one in the family that always took real long hot showers. She is 43 now and Cancer Free.
Congratulations. So happy for her! ❤️🤍👍
Praise the Lord for cancer free!!
❤🎉so glad!
Wow! Scary! But thanks be to God that she is cancer free!
Hi , I have thyroid disorder and have had it for 25 years, they have me on medication called carbimzole , I would always lose weight and my hands and feet would be hot but i would also sweat too, I'm glad your daughter is better now, I'm 51 and still have the problem but with medication i work through it , enjoy the relationship you both have 😊
I marvel at your family, your love of life, your humor, and what you surround yourself with.
You both are doing an amazing job raising you children! Blessings to all!
Yayyy, so glad you came to see us. 💕💕💕
You guys are the coolest family, ever! Great parents, great kids, great teachings...etc. You are inspiring! I love how you nurture your kids' passions.
Just wow n awesome!! Children should be afforded all the opportunities their parents can give them! Nice to see a great example of family fun and parenting! Love y’all 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕💕
I trained with my daughter for 5k 10k and half marathons. We did close to 30 races together. It was the best time of our lives. She trained me and I finished every race!!! The time together....priceless!
HI I follow you from the Middle East, and I wish you a happy life, continued success, and a happy life for all of you❤️❤️❤️❤️thanks
Thank you so much
Hello from London. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and your wonderful family. I love watching your videos each week. Hugs and blessings to you.

You and the Keon Family .. are my best!❤
And .. yeah .. Cañada rules!
You two are doing a great job raising your children. The old Veteran
Yes! Think Maple Syrup ;) ....Oh Canada! Tim Hortons is a wise choice ;) .... more for the coffee than the donuts though ;)
You are both such an incredible blessing to your children in everyway. My Mom spent a lot of time with my sister and I she taught us how to be mothers, how to run and keep a home, how to cook, do laundry, manage food/groceries and plan for meals with a budget.
She taught us how to go thru our closests at the beginning of each season and make lists of what we needed and move out what didn't fit any longer. She taught us to give to those who had less than we did, and we didn't have much. She taught us to read and to be independent thinkers.
Our Dad, due to working away a great deal of my childhood didn't have a lot of time with me as a child. God gave me an opportunity to get to know my father in a much different way when he called me and asked to come live with me while he waited to have a lung transplant (COPD , 40 years of smoking).
I left home when I was 15, so I had not lived with my Father in a very long time. I lived on the other side of the Country and was 31 when he came to live with me. I became his soul care provider he was extremely ill and frail and at end of life stage when he was put on the transplant list. After 2 months he was given a second chance at life. Then came the grueling rehab which he wasn't anticipating and was extremely angry about (hed been in a wheel chair for about 6 years and didn't really understand that even with new lungs his legs would need rehab to work again).
There was a lot of living that went on in those months, we came to know each other as adults and he shared many things with me I never knew about him, God gave me a blessings by allowing me to be in a place in my life and career where I could spend a great deal of time with my Dad and support him physically, emotionally and spiritually through the last phase of his life. Sadly, he was not able to truly commit to all the requirements of being a translated person. In retrospect he was never really a very good candidate for a transplant. My Dad was a very smart man, while he only went to grade 8 he was a self taught mechanic could drive/operate anything that had wheels or treads, and break it down and put it back together again. He drove the largest of equipment in the woods of Vancouver to the snowplows in New Brunswick, but he didn't have that something that was required to be your own health advocate, to take your temperatures daily (or multiple times a day) take his 25 perscribed medicines ( needed to stay alive) keep them on time, not mixed up, eat regularly and most importantly to continue to exercise the new lungs. Long hours spend in deep depression lying down caused fluid to build on the lungs over and over again. He was air lifted back to the transplant hospital 3 times and then back to live with me again for a few months, then back to his home many 1000's of miles away. Despite many tears and begging he wouldn't just live with me permanently and sadly succumbed to his illness a few months later and passed away 6 months before he turned 65.
When I see how you are both so involved in your children's lives on the one hand it makes me sad that I didn't have a Dad who spent really any time with me or my sister as children, I am then reminded of the huge blessings we were both given with a Mom who worked double time to provide us with the skills we would need to be loving Mothers and wives and independent working women. God intervened and gave me a 2nd chance with my Dad and I will forever be grateful for that time with him.
Many of us have messy relationships with our parents and sometimes when I look at this incredibly loving and STABLE family unit, I feel a pang of self pity...but, as fleeting as that is I am also then reminded of the many blessings I DID have as a child and then as an adult child with both my parents.
I am now my Mom's health advocate and last year she was severely over medicated while in hospital for a a very serious blood infection. I also live very far from her as well, but I listened to my instincts and was able to peice clues together and figured out they had made several mistakes on her meds and she was being extremely over medicated and was being kept in a state of delirium because of it, I intervened and was able to get several of the meds stopped, she quickly gained her cognitive abilities bak. I'd be faced again telling a parent they had to go to rehab and once again, I was on the receiving end of a very tired and frightened parent who had to let their anger and fear out somewhere. After a lot of talk she went to rehab and made an amazing recovery.
It has been my honour to help both my Dad now my Mom with their health and whatever else comes up.
I share my story in case anyone else watching might feel a little like I do sometimes..and think, wow, what would life had been like with two incredible attentive parents, and then I push those crazy thoughts aside, and replace them with gratitude for what I did have versus pinning for something I didn't have.
I am so grateful to have found your channel and to be a part of your incredible journey, you are doing so much with this channel, more than you can likely ever know.
I went through the same things with my father!but both of my parents were alcoholic And I ran away from that place at15 I got married and hated it, divorced at 23 took my father in when he was very sick he quit drinking and died at 65 I have no regrets for the life I live ! Best wishes for your life you must be a very good person !💞💞💞🇨🇦
The good news is your son has spent the last 13 years learning by watching you be a good man. Words can be so hollow anyway, especially if one's actions don't match those words.
That's awesome setting the fitness room up and training with your son and getting the rest of the family involved. You both have wonderful relationships with your kids. Love it! :)
My children are grown. But it's truly lovely to watch your children just being children. Your oldest son looks so much like his dad. My oldest grandson is a little younger than your son.. My granddaughter will be 18 this year and my youngest grandson will be 7 in June. My two grandson's lost their baby brother two weeks ago. I hadn't gotten to meet his little precious self.One day in heaven though.
It is a joy to watch this particular video of a family being a family.
Glad to see you got to experience Tim Hortons ❤️ Jeremy it great to see you got to spend the day with your son doing something you both love and if he turn out anything like you Jeremy he will be just fine❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful! 🤩 In 1973, my 6'7" father died (of complications of Multiple Sclerosis/pneumonia) a month before his 44th birthday when I was four months shy of my 13th birthday. I missed out on a father-figure as a teenager, but it all turned out okay, thanks to my loving (late) mother. You're a fortunate young man, Kaimani! Continue to make your parents proud of you! 🤩👍🏾
It was nostalgic to see the scenery around Creston! I lived there for about 6 years from 1974 to 1980. I could see the same mountains from our house as we see in every video. We used to come down to Bonners Ferry to shop for cheaper food and cheaper gas.
I love your family values. Thank you for the stories of real life.
Y'all are such great parents.. love this channel .
The shot of the night sky with the stars is beyond words. Such a beautiful setting with the mountains. Spot on with the parenting of the kids. I felt bad for Nevaeh and the gluten issue…..great video. Thanks. See u next time
I love how you always have family time
How cool ...this was one of the most cool moments...every one getting on their own desire...sports of all kinds...fantastic...the best 💫🤗
OMG! The young man has very lumpy arms….. dedicated. With you guys as parents he can’t go wrong stay safe well and happy x
It's so nice to see parents who have the same values ...that l practice....l see so many children who never get the right guidance or values....keep up the good work
Your son falling asleep in the truck made me laugh. When mine was that age, didn't matter where or what time we got in the car, he was out like a light within 15 minutes of the drive! Thank you for taking the time to explain why it is so important to spend time with our children, teens in particular. They need good role models to learn the basics of manhood - be ready to take responsibility for yourself, treat others with respect, what it means to be a man and to be a great husband and wonderful father. For girls, I know from experience that a father's respect and love is what they need the most to be able to navigate the dating game. I didn't have a girl but from working with teen girls over the years, it has taught me at least that much. By the time teens hit 12 and 13, they need good role models. Both you and Melissa are doing a great job!!!
Brilliant episode. I love your parenting style. Very blessed kids. 🥰
Great vid...such an awesome 'family dynamic'. Support; love and caring for other family members; providing security and a sense of belonging; open communication; making each person within the family feel important, valued, respected and esteemed.
What a well rounded life you are building for your family.
Such a great video! So awesome that you are taking your fitness seriously! I go to the gym 6 days a week and I love it!
Melissa is correct! Talk to your children, get to know them! You and Jeremy are excellent parents and you have a wonderful family!
Thank you for sharing!
I'm blessed to have amazing relationship with my daughter and I'm grateful each and every day 💓 💛 💗
The face of that mountain outside your backdoor is awe inspiring. It's probably changing constantly with the changes of weather. I'm in my 60s and go through a daily exercise program to stay limber and build strength. It's working. It's never too late to start.
I miss Tim Hortons! When I lived in NY, there was one right down the street. I'm now in Florida where it's not available. So that gives me reason to go back, see family and get my Horton fix !!
You are great parents, and your kids are some of the best I've ever seen. You are so wonderful to your kids. You made them a beautiful home. There's so much love in your home. I bet the donuts was great. Keep showing us your lives.
God Bless You All.
Yes we are great! Thanks for visiting. Now you can call Tim Horton’s “Timmies”!🇨🇦❤️
Great advice for raising kids. Every child is different but the same, growing up in the same household. It is so important to know what their wants, needs and expectations for their lives are. You are doing a terrific job of dialing in to the kids. They are wonderful children. Yes there are things that are behind the scenes that you address, but you can see their personalities on here and they are well behaved and adorable children. Hats off to you both. You are great parents. Lol I always say "kids do not come with a set of blueprints". Would be nice though. Would take out all the guess work in raising them. But where is the fun in that!
Look in your children's eyes. They are kind, loving people interested in life. They are loved & they know it. 🥰
Love your dedication to your children's passions. FYI from one Canuck to one Yank the preferred name for donuts balls is Timbits. But donuts balls is a fun name too. P.S. love all that you do to keep family values a top priority.
I always love to see your horses!! And the beautiful scenery!! And good for all of you in wanting to stay healthy and wanting to spend time with your boy 👍🏼
Love it! You all are such wonderful parents. My son has been working out with his son for about 5 months. Amazing transformation in his 14 almost 15 yr old. Great bonding time. Love seeing your son helping to build the equipment also.
From a neighbour Canadian, Thanks for the nice comments of my country.
❤️
Our administration grows more & more
With each episode
We love you all!
Lots of hugs to you all
Including the animals❤
❤❤❤Jeremy, you did such a great job on the backsplash. It looks amazing. Melissa, I think that is such a fun way to do Valentine’s Day for the kids with the tree. I just love your family and watching your journey. You are a beautiful family. And Jeremy, it’s clothes shopping time. Lol thank you for the wonderful family content. I look forward to watching your videos every Saturday morning. ❤❤❤
Y’all are amazing parents! Seeing that each one of your children are their own person with their own wants and needs is must in knowing how to nurture each one! Gods Blessings to you and your family 💜
That's awesome guys!
Not will you only build memories, you add a lot of healthy years to your lives.
Wow, what a journey...
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
You're already an excellent example of how a man should treat a woman, just look at you and Melissa.❤️
Guaranteed the kids pay attention.
I live in Western NY near the Canadian border and we have Tim Hortons here and I do have to say that their coffee is superior to Dunkin. Glad you enjoyed your first Hortons trip!
@@jessicahanson2409 Everything at Hortons is better than Dunkin.
Yea! Welcome to Canada!
Nevaeh, I get the gluten-free problem. I just started a keto diet and I truly miss eating Tim Hortons donuts. Sometimes it sucks. But eating healthy is much more important to us right now. God bless your endeavors with your health and exercising. I love you encourage your children. Thank you for all your inspiration 😊😍😘🤗
Welcome to Canada, I like your trip to Tim Hortons! I am from PEI, Canada. You guys are an amazing family! Thank you so much for sharing all your days of building your new family foundations. Thank you for sharing all your Love and inspirations to others! I pray for you all, God's many blessings! Joy! Teresa
Good morning and Happy Sunday
Great parenting advice, listen and talk to your kiddos, be part of their lives when they are young and they will always be part of your life when you are older. Loved the donut trip and the gym is a great setup for the whole family.
❤️
Mmmmmm, Tim Horton donuts and the Tim bits ( small ones). I miss those. Thanks for the memories. Much luck with the exercise/ health regimen. Enjoy those young ones while you can. Make great memories. Peace!!
I just want to say you both are such great parents and you have raised amazing children. You can see the love that Jeremy has for Kimani and it is so cool to see. It must be such a proud moment to be able to teach your son what it is to be a successful man and how to succeed in life. You two are an example of what great parents look like!
Hi , I'm an English lady watching your videos, and I am amazed on how you all push yourself for a better life, well done, keep going, it doesn't matter what age you are, if you can make a different 😊
Thank you so much!
Don't get too used to teasing your son about being short. My oldest grew 3 inches in ONE summer between 8th grade and his freshman year in high school. Then, by the time he graduated, he was 6'8"...from 5'8" to 6'8 between 8th grade and high school graduation. You're right at the end of his "kid-ness". Enjoy it. ♥
You got me this time. So True. I had 5 and helped with part of the raising. (work) The youngest is 44 now and he asked me to write a letter to his youngest who is celebrating 12 this weekend. In a flash, they are growing and your hitting 70.
How did Jeremy learn to be all the things he wants his children to be? Do that. It worked. I'm happy to hear your cross border experience was so good. Omelet bites are gluten free as long as your daughter can tolerate a chance of cross contamination in a busy facility. You got this.
hes a brilliant Father and husband friend i am so amazed that brilliant mind of his can do alot of things unable to do because of my health issues but i enjoy watching him build that house from scratch his wife is also amazing with her commercials for the network and herself her children just super amazing as well i am watching for the short time where is the time going ? have a great week ahead
and good luck with the Marathon let us know soon when that will happen
@@cmclaren7
Well ,thanks for your mean -spirited input that wasn't needed , wasn't welcome and which @Glenna Miles proved you completely wrong. Of course Nevaeh went to a Donut shop , b'cos she was with her FAMILY . She didn't complain, she was just noting the problem with anyone being "gluten free" at that particular shop. No need for you to be ungracious and ugly about it; only serves to highlight your lack of grace & mercy ; these are your failings, not hers or theirs as a family. Let me encourage you to do better and not expose your inadequacies on a public worldwide channel; that in particular expounds in sharing grace, love, and mercy to all.
In other words, Lift your game to meet their high standards , you'll be amazed at how much more refreshing it is to offer goodness instead of ugliness. Selah. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏✌️👏
I just want to say y’all have such a beautiful family!!!
I sure relate with Niveha and the gluten free stuff...everytime we do something special or go out... I usually can't get what I would like...but whatever is available that I can have
Me too. I'm also dairy free, so it's even more difficult. and sometimes upsetting that I cannot eat what everyone else is.
Happy to see you come to Canada for Tim Hortons! They have special things in different seasons and holidays. Most people ENJOY their coffee.
Just finished the video and I want y’all to know our tree is not only STILL up but also will be up all year 🙀 That’s right ! We are both new septuagenarians and as y’all mentioned in the video, time appears to move faster every year. Well, we finally caught up with and though the tree was up and lit, no ornaments were on it, SO for Christmas 2023, we’ll be up and running well in advance. Every other day David puts on an ornament and I put on one every other day thus covering the days , weeks, months AND THE TREE ! (10:20 am) We and y’all have a healthy quirky streak…and we embrace it like we’re delighted to see that y’all do, too🎄❤😸😺
The kids turned it into a Valentines tree
@@GoodSimpleLiving , clever off springs you have and this way y’all can celebrate themes, birthdays and holidays aaaall all year 😁
I used to have a Christmas wreath that I hand made from tree branches that I kept up all year one time and we decorated it for different seasons we really enjoyed it ! Have also done it with Christmas trees! We had a large family with natural kids, adopted , and kids of our heart. Each collected different things ie snoopy, eeyore, bears, and it was fun finding there different themed decorations for each season There all adults now except for our 14. Yr old and I still decorate and give them a themed decoration each yr! My oldest will be 42 this yr and I still send her eeyores when I find one ! All 12 are the lives of my life and now grandkids and soon to have are 4 th and 5 th great grands kids they grow so fast nice to see you enjoying your family with Speical
Trips to the donut shop 🥰
I like what you said about knowing your kids. Spot on. And I’ll just add respect your kids. Kids learn to respect others when they are respected. Good job your kids are great
Fun fact I was born in Canada. My Dad served 20 years in USAF. I raised a boy & girl by myself. It was difficult being both Mom and Dad. Jeremy seems like the perfect male role model. Watching the 2 bond over while purchasing and building this gym was priceless.
You're already doing the most important thing you can. You do things as a family. Together,not scattered.
Haha, I'm really interested watching this. About a year ago, I drove to Canada for business. They let me in without much problem. But I got detained coming back to the USA 🇺🇸 because I did not have a passport. It took about 45 minutes sitting in the building while they verified my identity. Shortly after that, I got a passport! 😆 😜
So it's a pain to get into the US for citizens....
@@jenniferrescott1149 amazing, right? I guess it was good that they checked because people could have a fake driver's license, but it should be standard criteria for everyone. 🤪
It all depends on who you run into... n how bored they are.. they took my cousins car apart once before thought he was smuggling drugs lol usually we got welcome back home but we lived right across the border basically so they didn't keep us much I think once they individually questioned us kids separate about where we went n what we did n what we wore bringing back... that was when we lived in California n used to go there for the summer so back in like 1990s. My passport expired n so did my kids so maybe I should renew then for the summer so easy thru... but in past we went without passports no problems
@@katya03316 Yes, I knew lots of people who would regularly go in the 90s with only a license and birth certificate, so i thought it would be ok. Especially because i got into Canada relatively easily. I think entry into the US got stricter after 911, though. I just didn't realize it. I'm fine with it 😀
Well Done Jeremy and Melissa. You are Amazing, Present Parents 🙏
Parabéns para todos da sua família. Com essa conquistas de ter uma academia na sua casa. 👫🏋️🏘️🇧🇷👍🏼♥️
Thanks.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My oldest grandson will turn 28 in April. My youngest grandson turned 13 in January. And yes, nurturing their likes is a great thing to do.
Love you guys..😊 Can’t believe you don’t have passports!!! There’s a whole new, exciting world out here. 🌎
I love that you all are working out together a family who work together play together I love that saying...❤
Poor Neveah 😭 Tim Horton's must do better
She enjoyed her latte
Your day to day interaction with life influences your children the most. It is obvious your love of your children and each other shines through❤️. Children became what they see. Your beliefs and ethics are very obvious , don’t worry you guys are doing a wonderful job as parents.❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Just beautiful ! Great job to a wonderful family, home sweet home you made it a wonderful place to thrive enjoy.🐎
You're amazing parents ❤️ God bless y'all
This is absolutely fantastic. You guys are so cool and working hard for your achievements. Great family. God bless you all.....
Yessssz to family ❤❤❤❤ Nature’s Way .
