kitchen work day WITH A NEWBORN

[@kellyu765]

It’s SO nice to see you feeling better & knowing baby Lewis is doing better as well. So thankful all the surprises got to you! After your last video & seeing you so emotional about Lewis & all you 2 went through even tho I had already sent gifts I just wanted to shower & pamper you with love & more surprises for you to help lift your spirits & bring a smile to your face! Plus, I knew baby Lewis would not be fitting into the first batch of clothes I sent so I wanted to send some more in the sizes needed now. And yes, I didn’t wanna leave Jason out this time so the Papa bear hat is for him! And I’m so glad the kids liked the toys & that it helped out while you were away . I was worried the bassinet might be too big, but it fit perfectly beside your bed! You are such a giving mother and all you do for your children and your family that I just wanted to love on you from a far 🥰 Keep resting when you can and just enjoy those sweet new born moments…. Baby Lewis is absolutely beautiful 🩵 Sending love & prayers to the whole Kreke family 🥰 🏡 ❤️ 🙏 📖 🕊️

[@kellyu765]

Also I know in the 2cd batch of clothes I sent there are also preemie and newborn sizes too! Cause I knew you had never needed those sizes before & wouldn’t have any. So they are mixed in with the 0 to 3 months. And I wasn’t sure which you would prefer that’s why I sent you both the footed ones and also the sleeper sacks. I can’t tell you how much fun I had shopping for baby clothes. My two girls are in their 20s now so it’s been a long time …. so this brought me so much joy remembering shopping for sweet little babies. 🥰🩵🍼

I loved the end of this video, everyone outside , playing, riding bikes, music, enjoying family life

[@whitneygalarce9837]

I just love your channel. It’s what I imagine many years ago homes and families looked like. Before all the technology, and shift from all morale. When kids were kids and moms loved being home with their kids. Dads worked hard and provided so the family could be a strong unit. I have 7 of my own and just am soaking up every moment of the joyful chaos that comes with large families.

[@PennyC1964]

I know they are such a great family ❤

[@vegemitegirl1971]

Greetings from Australia Jeremiah, You don't know me but I have to tell you that I'm really proud of you helping mum in the kitchen and learning to cook. My son, Nicolas, is now 25 and I taught him to cook when he was young too.

[@mariapiafernandez6096]

You do look and sound so much better than last time. So glad things are settling down. So happy for you all.

[@homesteadschooled4587]

I love that quick snippet (in the middle of the chaos) of you sneaking a little nap in! So relatable.

[@jasonandjulie]

Got to get them when you can! 😃😆

[@pennycowher6328]

I could listen to her playing the violin forever❤

[@LargeFamilyHomestead]

I am glad that things are getting back to normal for you. As a momma of 10, I think that's the hardest part - is seeing everything that needs to be done but not being ready to do it. ♥ Look at all that delicious broccoli. What a wonderful blessing from your neighbor. 🤗🤗🤗

[@maryross4488]

Homelike back to normal. Yummy food being made and children all doing something. Louis is gorgeous ❤

[@jasonandjulie]

Thanks Mary!

[@triciavaughn8004]

These videos remind me and my family growing up in the country. My parents raised 11 kids and it was a busy time. Someone always played an instrument, baking, gardening, dad working, and helping out where he could. Lots of games were played inside and out. ❤

[@pat2513]

Love the violin and guitar. Please show more of this : )

[@susanbaker8130]

So great to see baby Lewis home and Mom, Dad and kids back to normal-fun projects and life on the homestead. Such great helpers, all with food prep, thrift store runs and child care. Funny when Jeremiah popped in to induce the little ones to “Adventures with Jeremiah!” Loved the drone footage at the end. ‘Till the next time!

[@jasonandjulie]

Thanks, Susan! I’m feeling extra thankful for all the little “ordinary” things that one tends to take for granted. 💖

[@martinritawhyle887]

Ahhh, how wonderful to have a New Zealand sheepskin. I'm from New Zealand and my sheepskin was my most expensive baby item, however all four children had this as their cosy natural bedding.

[@cynthiagustafson2541]

Ha ha! My favorite vegetable is cake, too!! Julie, you have such a precious family!! God's blessing, on you, is so obvious!! I just enjoy your videos so much!

[@cathydecarles7084]

[@marsha64ful]

I am glad you liked the pacifier! Wow! The other presents were great! I am glad you and the baby are doing better and the kids are helping, like usual.

[@jasonandjulie]

Yes thank you!

[@carolluther1625]

You are looking good Julie, glad you are feeling better!

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

I have 11 children I'm older so my children are grown my youngest is 18.sadly my husband died and I had to work 5 jobs to pay for the house and make ends meet so I never really got to see my youngest 5 grow up and our family fractured and the lovely cooperation and consideration turned into anger resentment bitterness and jealousy .it had a terrible effect that has splintered everybody and watching this video has brought back some wonderful memories of times before my husband died

[@maryflaherty7096]

Nice to hear you are feeling better. Nice family.

[@dsbeyondblessed3384]

I just love watching the kids interact with each other. Even when Lydia was upset she was so gentile with baby brother ❤ What kind of oats did ya'll use for the oat bars? I would like to make them for my kids.

[@kathleentanner343]

Oh Love the New Zealand sheepskin all 8 of my children had one and yes am also a kiwi You are doing so well and love your videos ❤

[@chipper841]

Video: Benjamin sitting beside you on couch. You holding Lewis. Benjamin lays his side head on Lewis head. That photo: PRICELESS! One of your clever kids need to get a photo of that for your special album photos!👍👍

[@jasonandjulie]

Those daily moments make sweet memories for sure!

[@lileric144]

​@@jasonandjulie hey 😊

[@lethaharris1608]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us ❤️❤️❤️

[@karenladwig]

Your children are a lot of work right now but you will keep getting rewards.

[@stanparker3636]

Your daughter is really maturing. She looks cute today. Elsie Lynn

[@paulaweadon8130]

Our family will be on the Current River as well. We're riding side×sides over the weekend. It's so beautiful there. Your family is adorable! I'm happy your newborn is doing well. He is surrounded by love.

[@stanparker3636]

Such wonderful helpful kids. Lynn

[@FrankJamger]

Wow, all that free fresh produce. Wonderful closing scene.

[@karenburgess3560]

New to your channel. Enjoyed your video!

[@minnamae25]

I love your teamwork. I have 2 out of 3 of those nursing dresses. I'm no longer nursing and I still wear those dresses because they are so comfortable and cute. ❤

[@dorischaron1887]

Just found Your channel, what a beautiful Family You have. Your kiddos are all so cute and polite and appear to be great helpers.

[@jasonandjulie]

Welcome!

[@susanemery9015]

I have a fire blanket in my kitchen. I’m glad that I haven’t had to use it yet.

[@GodISSovereign17]

Benjamin loving on Lewis was too precious, that whole moment brought tears to my eyes! So beautiful, truly the joy of motherhood captured in a moment! You’re looking so good, and Lewis looks like he’s getting lots of loving from his siblings! I’m glad everything is going good, God is Faithful!! There’s a onesie I want to send you, but it’s not on Amazon, how do I send it to you?

[@jasonandjulie]

Aww thank you! You can email me at jkreke@ gmail.com and I’ll send you my info

[@Abiding.Farmhouse]

Glad you're feeling better! Baby Lewis is so cute. ❤

[@jasonandjulie]

Thank you! One of these days he might even catch up to your cutie pie! 🥰

[@deenamaness6731]

All of your children are so helpful. Good job momma 👏

[@nicolastruong7667]

You have a good life ❤❤❤❤

[@ryanm7249]

I’m glad things are getting better. Continued prayers.

[@jasonandjulie]

Thank you, Ryan!

[@Judi-lm2fj]

Great video. You are teaching your children valuable lessons.

[@kat4256]

Such a Great looking group of children. Your family is BEAUTIFUL. I think teaching them about God, Jesus Christ and the Bible are the MOST important especially in these times. I was lost in the world and taught my children all the wrong things were important and now I’m trying my best to show them the Truth in Christ. Christ is the ONLY Door back to our Father in Heaven. Terrible times ahead, God has opened my eyes. Pray more will see and be saved

[@novasoto5092]

Happy to hear that things are getting better and normal. Julie you looks so good, especially of a mamma of 11 and wife of 1😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@beckyryan407]

Freeze dried broccoli is great for storage, makes wonderful soups, beef and broccoli stir fry ect

[@jasonandjulie]

That does sound great! We don’t have a freeze dryer yet but they seem really handy!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

flash washing blanch and freezer then you got for most of the winter great broccoli haul hugssssss

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

that the blanket for fire its better than fire extinguishers as it doest throw off all the chemicals and turn your fire area all white and need to be professionally cleaned hugssss

[@gillgallon9631]

Try doll clothes, for a pamper i used hand towels or large washcloths.

[@amandamendoza4181]

So much love! I want to join your family!😂❤❤❤😊

[@michellenelson11]

I'm playing catch-up with KZbin. How was the trip to Current River? Was it flooded? They've had some flooding recently and I wasn't sure how long ago they went. It's such a beautiful river when it's at normal levels. I loved seeing all the life lived in this video. So fun! Always praying for you and your family. God bless! ❤

[@jasonandjulie]

They had a great time on the current river. Their pictures are gorgeous! They went right before we had all of the crazy rain here, so it wasn’t flooded. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheBabcocks]

I love those shirts!

[@jasonandjulie]

They’re great!

[@denisehorton6859]

🥰🥰

[@Credo8]

So relieved for you that you’re feeling like you can slowly get back into the swing of things. I hope you’re able to rest lots. Would you mind sharing what electrolyte powder or what not it is that you send with Leo for work? I know you mentioned it in a video awhile ago but I can’t find it. Thanks

[@katiemcevoy]

I saw in a past video you had a pool for the kids. What do you use to keep clean? I don't have a filter. We just have a 6 ft round pool for kids.

[@jasonandjulie]

We use 35% peroxide. I followed this tutorial www.weedemandreap.com/convert-pool-natural-swimming-pool-hydrogen-peroxide/

[@katiemcevoy]

@@jasonandjulie thank you so much!!!!! ❤️

[@skw656]

❤

[@naomihartman6623]

U should watch the happy caravan they are a big family ambers. Children all play. Strings except Mo the youngest and the baby

[@jasonandjulie]

I’ve seen a few of their videos. Such talent!

[@marywalker2896]

Everette needs attention..I do believe, he still needs a hug and love..

[@dolores34]

Glad You and Lewis are better❤ and I guess Lewis debunked my statement about babies growing out of newborn clothes so fast, He has to grow into His Newborn clothes lol😊

[@vickifulmer4396]

I love watching your beautiful family!! I heard you mention that you live in Missouri. What part? I live in Topeka, Ks.

[@jasonandjulie]

We’re 45 min from STL 🥰

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Question- do you Blanche your broccoli before you freeze it? Thanks for this wonderful video! God bless!

[@jasonandjulie]

Yes! Just for a couple minutes… until it’s green but not soft

[@nynkeandreae7008]

Do the girls have a baby born or something like that? Those clothes might fit your little one. My cousin's baby was also born early and she borrowed some of my baby born clothes

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@annbeth6730]

It’s hard to nurse a premature baby. My boy was born at 35weeks He didn’t get the sucking instinct until 37 weeks. I didn’t have milk when he was ready so bottle fed
