Awwww beautiful buck! Congratulations! God bless you guys - praying for you daily! Winter is COMING!

[@Mommoirs]

Favorite moment of my week, is when you post your Saturday morning video! Close second is Wednesday morning NWOS podcast. Thank you for sharing your journey…😊🙏🏻💕🌲🇺🇸❤️

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much 💓

Ludo is such a beautiful dog, very good at hanging out with everyone and not wondering off. Wow, right at your door.

Ludo is and will be there ❤

[@diannatoothman5733]

I love you guys ❤, I would like to see you teaching your son to do more , running lawnmower and driving the tractor,, you guys keep up the good work, your home and kids are beautiful ❤️

[@michaelwilliams7481]

Melissa, I am so glad you got a warning of harm to you from my country's UK viewers about pregnant sheep. - a lot of preparation for the coming winter months, the siding had to wait, other things come first. I posted this on your last video - Quote, “Jeremy, please wear a mask when cutting the siding” I read you are now. GOOD. Stay safe and love to you all from Mike. ❤

[@mjnorman1958]

Oh my goodness, your puppy makes me laugh. Ludo completes a long week with a good laugh. You are truly blessed with a Very Good Boy! ❤❤❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Ludo is such a good boy! 🥰

[@debyarger3084]

Your glowing Melissa, this unexpected baby is going to bring so much unexpected joy! Congrats on the buck. My husband bow hunts. We had his blind and trail cam set up for several weeks before bow season started. Saw one buck but many doe's then opening day came and nothing! But the experience was good and we can try again through the month of January.

[@tamimcminn2715]

I've always believed that the Lord blesses us with what we need, not what we want. Unless it's the same thing 😊❤

No snow yet thank goodness! So happy you guys are done with your big projects move have been working on for years

[@margreetanceaux3906]

​@@GoodSimpleLivingthat's good. Concrete dust is just that, cement. When it gets in your lungs, there's moisture and it basically turns into tiny bits of concrete.

The property looks so nice. I love how the kids can make up fun ways to play. That teeter totter looked like so much fun. Isn’t that just how it happens, what a blessing that buck showed up like it did.

[@joyelsey1366]

Oh, I love the video today. The only thing I worried about is when you help move that bunny habitat. I also could not believe that you got a dear, totally cool! You all are so fun. I love your family. Be blessed.

Good morning mama bear and papa bear. It is always overwhelming on our to do list in life. It is so important to make family first and that is the one thing you have shared with us all. Love to all and prayers to each person during this unsettling time we live in. Be thankful and remember that there are always someone out there that might have something worse that we are complaining about.

@GoodSimpleLiving I'm so thrilled you got your deer! God is so good! Great job on clean-up. We know how that goes on a farm. I too didn't know about the sheep/lambing and pregnancy thing. WOW! Sure do have a great community here. Good luck with finances for CCC - God sees your hearts; and will make a way according to His Grace. We've seen the devastation from Helene and other storms on social media. No words... Praying for y'all. God bless you and yours from South Africa.

Thank you for your kind words and prayers! We appreciate you so much.

Melissa, your photography skills with your property landscape is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your beautiful views with us over time lapse! Way to have your preparedness meet the opportunity of the buck! Happy Saturday GSL!

The large boxes from the siding when empty could be a cool crow's nest on the property or tree house.

[@kennethcook5705]

Winter must come there soon, but it’s November and I have to remember that you live much farther north than I do so it’s probably best to think of different. You are near the Canadian border where I’m closer to the Gulf of Mexico, it still in the 70’s during the day, ( joy for me ). Everyone makes mistakes so don’t beat yourself up over it, NOBODY is perfect, you did catch it, so kudos for you. Take careof Momma, winters just around the corner.

[@suzannebaxter2888]

Hi from England I was going say that last week about the sheep. I had a few on my land that were also pets. But had to get the farmer up the road to take them in while I was pregnant. It's quite eye opening when you're told this because growing up they were and still are one of my favourite farm animals.

[@naturenut7695]

Nice buck. God always provides. ❤ As always thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@lynkarpick8037]

Always enjoy my Saturday am with you! Thanks for sharing the journey! Preparing for winter-loved seeing all the projects getting done. It has to feel so good. And then the buck! What a blessing to wrap up the day. Your view of the mountains is always stunning in all her moods. You all picked a beautiful spot. And always your closings are the best!❤❤❤

Loved your videos all the time. Also liked that your son helped with the heavy siding on the garage/apartment build. That definitely was a help for mom who is with child. It is so heart warming to see the progress and love that oozes from your family videos. So until the next be safe and prosper.

Snow is beautiful, but i am glad that didn't happend, i hope that you will be ready with all your preparations.

Sorry you had to do all that extra trim work, but I would have not thought about that either. I loved seeing the kids make a see-saw/teeter tooter on the tractor bucket! That was awesome. I can't wait to see Gabby all finished with the siding. Melissa is starting to show!! Such an exciting time for you all. We are waiting for our 1st snowfall supposedly coming Tuesday during your election. I am part of team #CanadiansforTrump have a great week guys.

Beautiful!!! What a blessing to have meat for the freezer and to have the promise of meat in the future with the lambs! When you do process them, will you PLEASE share a recipe on how to prepare lamb? I love it but didn't grow up eating it. However, I have had the opportunity lately to process a few. I would love to know how to make several types of dishes with it.

Hello my loving Idaho family♥️!! I’m so happy to be enjoying brunch with you today!! I can see you’ve been busy as ever with your CCC toy drive and getting ready for winter. Melissa I think Jeremy would rather see you sipping cocoa and sitting someplace warm and cozy watching them work. It’s so cute watching him want to protect you 🥰. You’re such a loving, hard working family. Thank God my daughter seems to be on the road to recovery and life is getting back to some type of normalcy. I pray for your family just as I do mine… God is so good to us and has perfect timing (just like with your buck😉). I carry each of you in my heart and always in my prayers🙏🏻🙌🏻♥️🙌🏻🙏🏻… until next week🫶

Hi guys, In the weird and crazy times that we are living, your videos come as a blessing and much needed welcome to our crazy weeks. And strangely enough, you guys make it feel like a friendly neighborhood ourhood chat... were you do all of the talking 😅😅😅 I'm glad to see that everyone is doing fine and can't wait to see what's next. 🤟🤓🤘 P.S. Still asking to see Jeremy riding into the sunset with his Buffalo coat and a cowboy hat. 🧐😅😅

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you enjoy our videos! I'll tell him to giddy up!

[@debbiputman3482]

There are SO many things that might affect pregnancy- not just things like playing with sheep or cleaning cat boxes. Dogs also carry a bacteria in their mouths that will only affect people with compromised immune systems, like pregnant women. My sister experienced this and almost died. My nephew was born at 25 weeks. Luckily he survived with no discernible issues; my sister also survived and went on to have 2 more children. These issues are extremely rare (my sister was the first known incident). My advice is to live your life normally and just wash/sanitize hands after handling your animals.

[@lindaragan3992]

Very cool about the deer your place looks so great nice clean up

[@PatriciaBrown1711]

Hi just watched a video of you both with your daughter and not seen any of you for ages on KZbin. Right away I thought Melissa was looking different then I thought is she pregnant? I went back to a few of your older videos and discovered she is in fact having another baby. My daughter is also pregnant and due in March just before Melissa. I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to this wonderful family. Luckily I wont be doing night feeds but I will be taking care of my grandson as much as I can. Thank you for your videos they do give you faith in mankind.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you! Welcome back 🙏
