It amazes me how your children work so hard along with you and Aaron to maintain your property. You guys always make me tired just watching you. See ya next vlog!
Just a suggestion to help the eggs maybe would be to put a layer of insulation around the out side of your boxs then cover with wood and that may help the boxs stay warm enough to keep your eggs from freezing? I do not have wood heat for the first time in my adult life and I miss it so much. No heat like wood heat. God bless.
Hi sweet one! Oh my goodness that's a lot of snow! You all work so well together as a family...so much cooperation. You have raised your children well to be so responsible! I know you are all exhausted! I hope you get some much-needed rest! Big hugs and many blessings!
Hi Jessica, Aaron and sweet family! Bless your hearts, I’m sure your both sore from the wreck. Always the next day when you get the aches and pains. I meant to tell you before that the color of your door is beautiful. I love that shade of yellow. The chickens are happy now. You really take good care of them, lots of work. I’m glad to see Kodi doing better, just praying for complete healing. Aaron, your chili looks so delicious. The boys worked really hard. Wood is not easy. My husband and I used to cut firewood for 11 widow women so they would have heat for the winter. My husband would work and come home to split it with an axe. We would take a dump truck load and stack it for them, plus we heated with wood ourselves. It was an all summertime job, but we never regretted it. Shoveling off the roofs to keep them from caving in is a must do job. When we lived in Chicago, my brothers and I had to shovel the two car garage roof one year after a blizzard. So many people had damage from cave ins, it was a snowy winter that year. I know the snow keeps the family busy, but what a winter wonderland. So beautiful it’s breathtaking. Your porch decorations look beautiful and so inviting. I hope you and your family get some much needed rest. Stay warm and have a blessed peaceful night my friends!
@@modernhomesteadalaska I really enjoy your content and values. You are living my dream... lol 💜 I'm doing what I can where I'm at. Plus you all crack me up.. the humor is on my level. Looking forward to much more. Take good care Jess. I'm honored to call you friend ( even if we haven't ever met)
That was another seriously busy day !!!!!! What a great family all working together 💓 Appreciate the video when you all are so busy. Thank you really enjoy watching 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 Love from the UK x
Wow!! My husband, Jaysen, and I are laying on the couches. He's on his computer and I'm watching you. Every now & then he looks up and says "More snow?" I've never seen that much snow in real life. We live in Texas so there you go. I'm in full blown menopause watching thinking I bet I wouldn't get hot there, lol. I don't know how yall do it! Yall fight the snow and we fight the droughts. Having a garden here can get very expensive if you don't have a well. It's so dry my water bill runs in the $400-$500 in the spring and summer just to keep the garden watered. I can't wait to watch and ooo and awe over the snow. We hope yall have a blessed evening!!
The snow is so beautiful! I tried your no knead bread recipe and it turned out so good! I think I overcooked it by a few minutes because the bottom was pretty crunchy and hard to cut through. Not bad for a first time though and delicious. I think I've heard you mention not to skimp on the salt and I think that's absolutely true, it really made it tasty. Thanks for today's video!
Hello Jessica, Aaron and family. Oh I made white chili for the first time ever. It was so delicious. Had never made or tasted it before. Please be safe in all that snow. Love you all so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
We got hammered by snow on the Peninsula. No school and most all businesses, taxi's, restaurants and others are closed due to snow. I made a drive around town and so many people were stuck and trying to just get out of driveways.. I feel you sister,lots of hard work all over and it's not done! Arron's chili looks so good with those chunks of meat. You all stay safe and keep on keeping on!
Oh man stay safe and warm my friend!!! I have not left the house. Aaron tried made it to the neighbor and they have not gotten to our road yet. Neighbors with big movers have started to clear it. Our elderly neighbor didn’t get plowed out so at 5 Aaron headed there. Thank the lord they have a small driveway! But it’s a stay in till it’s clear deal here. I’m glad you didn’t get stuck!
Hello Alaska Family. I’m completely enjoying these vlogmas w the snow and adventures. I’m in southern Illinois and we rarely get a big snow. The pictures are awesome. A moose out your window is wow. I loved seeing the wolf coat. It was beautiful. Keep on trucking ❤
Ok I’m a little jealous of your big storms…..I love the snow. We had snow over the weekend. But nothing like a big dump. Hahaha you guys did great…you all worked so hard. Hugs ❄️🇨🇦❄️
Hard working Family.....I'm just catching up with your vlogs. You are so Blessed to have children that works so hard. I can't believe the amount of snow you've gotten 😳. So Beautiful !!!!! Frito pie yummy yum..... Get some rest... ❤ to all.
Aaron really has done so great "falling" into your channel. Kodi (spelling? Sorry) she really is the perfect blend of you too. Meat Churches for the win! I made the recipe loosely, soooo good. My dad's favorite., he has COPD so I do most cooking and he said whoever helped you along with that to tell them "thank you" so thank you yall!
Love how everyone works together to get it done! Aaron cracks me up. You may have to tell him like I tell my husband, “watch the potty mouth or you get the soap!!” 😂 He’s a Navy vet so old habits die hard 😊 Loving the winter wonderland but all that work looks very tiring! God bless and stay safe.
Bless your hearts. You all worked so hard as a team getting so much accomplished. You must all have been exhausted. The front porch is so pretty. I always love seeing the chickens and the neat coop. Chili looked delicious.
Holy snowflakes and snowballs! Jess, y’all amaze me at how hard you all work, kids included. I love the snow, but I don’t know if I would love that much snow. Haha. Y’all be safe and get some much needed rest.
Thank you that’s so kind! It’s a lot! More back to back then they have had up here before. Don’t think it matters now who thinks it we all agree it’s a lot.wait till the one I’m editing now! It’s a whole new animal today.
Woowzers! That is some serious snow. I can’t imagine how tired you must feel. I just want a bowl of chili, a hot shower and to crawl under the electric blanket! But many chores to do before I can call it a day. Tight hugs to all and a restful night’s rest. See you at our next visit. ❤️❤️ Momma G
@@modernhomesteadalaska Honey, I am wrapped up in a warm quilt and about to call it a night! As close as I’ll get to snow tomorrow, is to dream of it tonight!! Glad you got your wood processed and ready for action! Sweet dreams! 😘❤️🎄❄️❄️
I stumbled across your channel by accident and so glad I did. You are so down to earth and I love that. Watching the snow mount up at your homestead and you all just continuing go about the day is really amazing. I know you can't "stop" because it snows but it is really amazing that life goes on no matter how deep the snow gets. Kudo's to you all. Hugs from a distance from a new subscriber!
Hugs new friend!!!! Thank you sooo much. It is wild no lie some times you Kay in bed and think just a little longer! I’m not ready to snow yet. But we honestly are here for the snow. So I think that does help us.
Wow, so much work! Cracked me up to see Kodie outside in short sleeves and Wyatt in shorts. Guess that’s one way to know they’re no longer Arizonans, but true Alaskans now. 😀
My husband calls “being stuck”, just “temporarily delayed “ haha. So never say “wrecked “ if the rig is not damaged, and never say, “stuck”, if you are just temporarily delayed” haha. One time we were, “temporarily delayed “ for 4 1/2 hours! 😂😂. Glad no one was hurt. I think it’s “a guy thing” lol
Hey guys, great vlog. I don't think your family is loving these vlogs as much as you Jessica. We sure love you sharing with us. Love your seeet family.
Great vlog, my daughter has a pink and silver tree,i just have red and silver, for years, i think my husband wants a change but when i tell him that it will be expensive to change everything ,he soon changes his mind, .Stay safe stay well .keep up the good work thank you for sharing ❤
We have been shoveling out since 9am it’s 5pm now. At least the ambulance can get to us when we can’t move in the morning. 😂 Our snow blower broke and the guy we paid to plow never showed up and said he won’t be making it out for a few days. It’s funny the transition from the city. What was I thinking. Lol just kidding I wouldn’t change it for anything. 💚 #alaskalife thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness!!!! I’m right with you, just came in. Aaron noticed our elderly neighbors had not gotten plowed so he called and he is off to get them out! It will be a long night. I’m with you tractor, blower and shovels, and just wait more coming!
So jelly of the snow! Next batch for us is all XMas week, but current snow won't melt cause we won't be above freezing til then! And I just got my porch switched over to Christmas too, lol, inside been done for weeks now though for the kiddies!
Hello Beautiful family. Yeah we're getting a 3 days snow storm/blizzard. Working on our 2nd day. Morning. Already have 3 ft of snow on our deck. Some spots in the yard have barely anything and others looks like 5 ft. Yikes. Can't see out our windows bcuz the wind is packing the snow up against the windows. Opened the door to see what was out there and the path that was shoveled last night looks as tho we didn't shovel. We'll need to bulldozer to plow us out. Not sure a normal truck plow will be able to but we'll see. Hope no one has an emergency. Could be a scary situation. Well my Dear looks like you guys are getting it done. Hadn't heard from you in awhile, so glad you're all doing well. Gotta get to the outside chores. I'll be taking ibuprofen before I head out. God bless and keep you all safe in everything you do. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year. Sending hugs and loves from NE Minnesota.
Oh my goodness! Stay safe and warm my friend! We are at over 5 fat total this morning (Thursday) in 6 days! It’s a lot. But not that blowing stuff! So you are in my thoughts!
This snow has got to stop. We need to catch up!lol I live in a wind tunnel in Palmer and my deck has caught it all. It's up to four to five foot. Everyones been busy with the other areas. My husband said "Sell the house, snow and all!" haha The chili looks delish! I have never made it with brisket. My husband hates beans and loves brisket so I might have to give that a try. Thanks for the idea! Hold on.. couple more days of snow and then looks like a break.
I know I woke up and Aaron called said don’t look but it’s snowing again. He then says why are you still in bed! I don’t want to go airside today. I still got out of bed. But I’m inside cleaning today. Pretending nuts not snowing.
to save money on oyster shell take empty egg shell.put in your blender n chop them up or ziplock but makes they.cant tell its shells. some people wash them.nbake them I just threw mine in a bag.n smashed up n mixed in with feed
My dogs woke me up at 3:30 this morning to let them out. To my surprise we where completely snowed in our house. I walked out to make a path, mind you in my robe sweats and boots still half asleep. it was past my waist and still sinking.. I have two pits with little leg syndrome. Lol they jumped off from the third step up and disappeared like a kid disappearing in a ball pit. I wanted to be mad but as I stand in snow past my waist and sinking, at 3:30 in the morning in the dark all I could do is laugh as I’m sinking deeper now I have to save my dogs because I literally could not see them. Lol After 10 min we got back to the steps and they decided to wait. 😂 How can I be mad ? it’s a more intentional connected life we live in Alaska. It’s truly indescribable. And it’s so intense you feel closer to god. All you can do is laugh. It’s like a big cosmic joke on you. Lol and god has a sense of humor. Stay safe and warm😇
@@modernhomesteadalaska Nate showed up a 10:30pm. I was grateful to see him, but stressed so bad for 3 months because I cook and heat my house mainly with wood. I'm glad I found your channel.
I have a friend live deep in woods and have small farm he didn't want to rely on electric company, so he spends few dollars lol. on very good solar-powered system cuz he used to lose electric a lot to. it sure not cheap to get solar but I think it worth it and don't have to worried about ever losing electric.
Lol what’s in his coffee I want some for my hubby…..😆 Mine never cooks he’s spoiled and I’m very fast after working ten yrs in a restaurant. Wow all that snow…….as you get older it is harder and harder to shovel and to get about in the snow. We always used saw dust in our coop…..we go to the lumber mill and you get a large load cheap. We also bought out boards for our barn rec/ canning room walls and for our outside barn walls….2 huge loads cheap… What is your tradition for Christmas Eve and day….I want to do something different so we are watching the weather and will camp at a State Park by a lake and in Amish country but not till the Monday after Christmas….. 🥰Carrie
Did I say that in the video! Lol I keep having to get new house brooms. I do t want poo snd wood and outside crud in my broom. But after the last few days guess who needs a new house broom!🙋♀️
🎶🎶"The weather outside is frightful"🎶🎶Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!❄❄ My goodness, I am so glad you enjoy the weather. You sure are getting your share of snow, and winter is not starting (according to the calendar) until next week, on the 21st. 🚿 Take a nice hot shower, and crawl into bed. You earned it!! Hugs, Bev in Maine
We went on 5 hours tractor, blower and shovels! Aaron went to check the road saw our very elderly neighbors had only one snow blower path. It’s dark and Aaron just left to go get them out.
oh my gosh I wish I could send you n pic. soooooo I made the bread n I buttered to when it came out habit I guess lol buy I cut a piece n ong it's delicious. I wondering if I could use for bread bowl n have u ever tried?? n could u double recipe? I'd so how much time to cook ? same or Lil mire so u think? thank you thank you
@@modernhomesteadalaska yes the entire Muni. No garbage trucks which I never seen in the 16 years I been here. No mail service, never seen that before, through rain or snow. No schools today but they claim will be open tomorrow. I am not sure tomorrow either unless they work all night and they don't have the plow truck drivers for that since the mandated nonsense. Looks like we are on our own time to bust out the snow mobiles and four wheelers since the roads are toast. I not left my home since the snow started yesterday.
@@ravenlaughs9757 wow thank you for the update. Aaron wouldn’t let anyone go to work today. Good thing. I wonder if they will have it tomorrow. His office is near downtown.
Lol good question! So far we had a worst winter in Colorado in the pass. This is shaping up to be more snow! However we loved the eastern planes of Colorado. Kiowa/Elizabeth area the best. Alaska is Colorados beauty on steroids
We got another 24 on top of it. It should hold it but it’s not built like our house or the coop they are both built for the worst case snow load. The trailer is flat it for sure is not built at all for the loads we have
Jessica I seen,girl you got snow.Why I was picking with Arron he was cooking breakfast and calling everyone to wake up,so that's why I said I was already awake.Our time difference.You know I love you all why I pick with you.❤️❤️❄️❄️🎄🥰❄️
