Thank you! Our faith is such a huge part of our lives, we knew from the beginning we couldn’t leave it out of our content. May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Another wonderful video. Always a pleasure watching the latest activities. You go Finley, break that record. And CJ...good luck on the mechanics class. Thanks for sharing your family with us. Have a great week. 👍🏼👍🏼🌲🌲
❤️Yes!!! Her brothers look just like him too! It’s never too late to find a motorcycle! I have no doubt that you could find something very unique! ☀️🌲😊❤️
Finley is a dedicated and hard working athlete, for sure! It's so nice to have the kids helping out (when they’re willing! 😂) thank you! We’re hoping they make it through the winter! Thank you for watching and we hope you have a great day! 🤍🥰🌲
Such a great video! My wife and I love that you are so real. We watched our babies grow up quickly like that too, our youngest just graduated college and got married in December! It seems like 5 mins ago I was teaching him to ride a bike! Embrace these moments the God gives you to see and share, one day you can look back and smile at where you have been compared to where you are going next! May God Bless you and your family with more than you can ever ask or imagine!!
Thank you so much! Being real and authentic is SO much easier than trying to fake it all the time! haha We don't have the time or energy for that. congratulations to your youngest on their wedding! Gosh I know that's going to come for us in the blink of an eye! People always say that they grow up too fast but you really just have no idea the absolute truth to that until you're in the midst of it! Ted and I hope you guys have had a blessed week and we'll see ya on the next one! 🌲♡☺️
Y’all and your family are just so adorable. I think the friendship, faith, and morals are why most of us watch you build. Sometimes in horror. 🤣 Thankful you got rained out because really liked just watching you talk and discussing details. Bless you all.
Thank you Bobby! 😊There’s actually so much more we wanted to get into the video that we just didn’t have time for! We will try to fill in as we go! Thanks for following along with us! We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You can never beat family time and how fast your kids grow up. You always have to treasure those moments and memories . One minute they are small the next they are grown and starting a life of their own. I totally can relate to how you feel Jenna and Ted. You have raised both your daughter and son with pride and it shows. I look back at everything l did as a parent and my daughter and son are married and have created a life for themselves l am very proud of them both as l know you and Ted are also. I was wondering how the bees faired during the winter and happy to see they are thriving and ready to pollinate and produce honey. Your pencil holder chicken is so funny especially now she has made a nest in your garage.The wall tent will look spectacular once it arrives and installed. Projects never stop when you have a home and other properties to maintain, thats what keeps us young, burnt out at times but worth it. I so enjoy following you each week all of you are a great inspiration to anyone raising a family. See you next week. God bless all of you.
You’re absolutely right! We’re doing our best to treasure and make the most of every moment! It sounds like you raised your kids in much the same way we are raising ours! Yes we are so happy that the bees made it through- granted we did have a very mild winter, but we’ll take it! 🐝 We definitely have felt on the verge of burnt out and oftentimes are overwhelmed but we’re just gonna keep on swimming! Thanks for always following along and being a big supporter! We sure appreciate it! See ya on the next one! 🤍🌲☺️
Oh my-so many good moments in this video! First, congrats to the kids for all their accomplishments-I know you are very proud of them. And the rest of the video, all so much fun to watch. The beautiful scenery (and the way you film it), the chickens, the bees, and the tree house, all great! Emotional tears, never be embarrassed. Some things are just too good to hold in. Your family youtube episodes are my favorite things to watch. Have a very Happy Mother’s Day-see you next week❤️
Thank you Laura! ❤️ 🥹 We appreciate you following along with us on this journey of life! We hope you are having a wonderful week! See you next time! 😊🌲❤️
Sheer simplicities and beautiful distractions can often be overlooked especially in the daily human conditions but it is these things that will mean the most as you someday reflect on what this life has given you....guys hold on to the moments because the ghosts of the past are just as important as the promises of the future....blessings to you and future detours in life's highway!
Your family values, faith, and work ethic are second to none. I am so glad that I started watching your channel when I did (back when you first started the tree house), you have quickly become one of my very favorite families to watch. You should never have to apologize for your emotions, because that is one of the things that shows how deeply you care.
We are so glad that you found our channel! We really do appreciate the wonderful kind words of encouragement! We also appreciate you following along with us in this crazy journey of Life! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Remember kids. “ My (Our) father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. His blessings and provisions are endless.” It’s so heartwarming to see you both again. May God continue to bless your family.
Way to go Kids. Never a doubt that they would Succeed. You never have to apologize for showing us your emotions. Love you all, if that's possible without ever meeting you❣️
This was quite the extensive update, I understand mommas tears, made my eyes leak a little too. Thanks so much to the whole family, prayers sent for further success.
Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲 It was so nice to be able to drop in and spend some time with you all. I was blessed by this video more than you can know. I appreciate seeing more of Finley and CJ and learning more about what the Lord is doing in their lives. We home schooled our kids also, that was long enough ago that it was illegal and we had to have specific insurance against lawsuits from the school board and state as a result. Our grankids were also homeschooled. It is wonderful to see Finley flourishing with her competitive spirit and doing well in track. The info on CJ really struck a chord with me because it's very close to the experience my son and I shared. I was always into cars, racing, building, construction and mechanics. My son picked up an interest that also turned into a passion for anything car related. We worked together doing a total restoration on an '85 Z28 Camaro that he owns and built an engine for it. We also did a complete resoration on a '68 Mustang GT that is mine. It got to the point we outgrew the shop at my house and 2 years ago I built a full 1500 sq ft shop with lift and and equipment at his house. He is a certified auto tech and left Ford to work for GM dealer in town and a lot of Ford vehicles followed him to GM. They love it and him because of all the extra work he brought and can work on any make or model car, old or new. Virtually all of their techs won't touch a lot of the stuff he works on because they lack the knowledge and skill. He does a lot of side work at his shop at home and is being blessed by it. That was a longer way to get get to this than I planned 🙃 When Ted was talking about CJ working on the cycles and even a large engine, I spotted the VW in the back of the building. I immediately jumped to "that's a perfect project for CJ to take on and maybe be a Ted and CJ project". Then at the end of the video you said it was a future project and I smiled. That is so great about CJ getting the job and how that all fell right into place. Our God is so good and blesses us with so much! I'm glad the Lord provided the opportunity and allowed you to open up to taking on sponsors to enable continuing in this youtube adventure. Please don't feel bad or the need to apologize to us for taking on sponsors, anyone who makes snarky remarks just doesn't understand much or even care. Jenna, you are right about the kids growing so fast and things changing. You are also right about Lydia and Jim being the experts on the dry pour concrete projects. They just finished the walkway at his folks house in their last vid. Your random scenes and skilled editing were amazing as usual Jenna and I really appreciate the effort you give to it. Seeing how you all enjoy Squatters Heights so much, I couldn't help but think about how you might miss it's availability to you when occupied by others. I might just have to add that to my bucket list, I love everything about it. It is stunning in every way. Are you all seeing the Northern Lights? I've rambled on far too long... God bless you guys. A faithful cone or nut at times ... Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Hi Larry! Yes, I figure they don't always make it into every episode so maybe we could update on what's going on with them lately! They're BUSY but we love it. Thats so crazy about homeschooling being illegal! MN is pretty laid back about homeschooling but it was still very overwhelming when we first began. Kids are both doing great, though! It sounds like you are very proud of your son, as you should be! Thats why we love homeschooling, so we can hone in on the kids' specific interests so they don't leave high school wondering what they want to do and feeling the pressure to attend college still unsure of their future. It's such a good way for them to explore their options and learn what they like and dislike before they have to spend tens of thousands of dollars figuring it out in college. We do feel incredibly blessed that brands are even wanting to work with us. The Lord sure knows are needs and his provisions have always been sufficient for us. We really do enjoy being over at the Squatters Heights! It will always be limited availability due to it being on our property. Hoping to bless others with it, but we want to keep our privacy secure, too. We most certainly did see the northern lights! Heavens declared Gods Glory that night and we were blessed to get to witness it! Some of the best we've ever seen! Stay tuned for footage from the incredible light show! Have a great week and well see ya soon!♡🌲☺️
Praise our Lord for the many blessings He has bestowed on your family! Congratulations to your son and daughter! Good God reports are good for the heart! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for praying and showing your dependence on God!
Ya know Ted, smoke follows beauty and beauty was a horse. Grins. Happy Mother’s Day. My wife lost her mom two weeks ago so it’s been a rough two weeks and tomorrow will be hard for her. Our kids are also rapidly aging out lol. Our son is a Jr. in high school and a lifeguard. Our daughter is in her second year of college and will be moving from Va to TX in the fall to be with her Army finance. So enjoy your day tomorrow. Be proud of your accomplishments when you look at your kids. And enjoy your successes. From Richmond, VA.
😅 Thank you for the mother's day wish! I truly had a wonderful day spent with my family.. I couldn't have asked for more. I am so sorry to hear of your wife's mother's passing. 🥺 Im sure the first of many holidays will be difficult. Prayers for your family! Thats very cool about your kids and it sounds like you are very proud of them! They really do grow up too fast! People always tell you that but you really just have no idea until it's happening to you! Hope you guys have had a wonderful week! ♡🌲
Just one of the "Pine Nuts" checking in. Shared the video again and wanted to say that you all are killin' it. I know you meet yourselves coming and going, but you are grounded in God and it shows. You have two amazing kids and are blessed with opportunity around every corner. I'm amazed at how you find a way to balance things out and overcome the obstacles that come along. SO proud of all four of you for doing what you do. I'm just thankful that you take us along on your journey. It's truly inspiring to all of us.
Wonderful comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep going! We are so busy, but we know that it won’t last long! We are enjoying every bit of it! Always trying to remember to smell the flowers along the way! 🌸 We really appreciate you following along with us on this journey of life! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Yes! Glad to see the dry pour update. This was a fun video to watch. It's been fun following along with you guys and see how much you have accomplished and watching the kids grow into fine teens. It's nice to see them so involved in everything andd so willing to pitch in and lend a helping hand. You guys have raised them right. Kudos to you all! Mike
Thanks Mike! Some days it’s a harder than others to get them to help! 😆 We appreciate you following along with us, Mike! It really does mean a lot to us!❤️
Hey Pine Peeps…WOW, what a great way to totally enjoy my Saturday morn coffee watching your latest adventures…Such a jam packed episode: Dry pour update, restoring vintage cycles, wall tent on the way, track meets, enjoying the fire pit, chasing chickens out of the gardens and launching the patio boat to name a few…Thanks so much for sharing it all…IAG, eh!!! 🇨🇦
Awe, thank you so much! Ted and I sure appreciate you saying that! We're happy that you feel that way! We've made many great friends through UA-cam! Hope you have a great weekend! 🌲♡
Oh my gosh! Where do I start when it comes to listing everything I loved about this video? I loved that you both had pink on. It's such a nice spring-y color among the cloudiness. Duty/doodie....hilarious! The update on the dry pour was much appreciated. Greg and I are considering doing one this year so it was great to see how yours is holding up. Excited to see your next one! "Penny! Go hold a pencil!" 🤣🤣 Finley and CJ are both incredible young people. They are beautiful, strong kids that are finding their way and it's a joy to see. Pink insulation and chickens! Who knew, LOL?? It's so neat that Ted likes the bees. Glad they made it through winter ok! I envy your garden. I wish I had the gumption to consistently have one. How will you keep all that garlic fresh? Go ahead and cry, ya big sap! It's plain your gratefulness to God overwhelms you at times and that's a good thing. We should all recognize the gifts He gives us. The addition of the lights to the platform is so pretty and now I really want to try some asparagus in my cast iron and burgers over our firepit! "Pencil holder chicken hootis" 😆😅 This run-down of your video is just meant to let you know that, when Greg and I watch your videos, we have 20 minutes or so of constant smiles and, at the end, we both invariably sigh in contentment. We enjoy every minute! BTW.....Greg CANNOT WAIT for the VW project! He redid one back in high school. Love you guys. Your video-ing and editing skills are more than on point. Can't wait for the next one!
Awe you're too kind! Thats so funny that you noticed what we were wearing! It's been so grey and drab here with the rainy and cloudy days that we just needed some color! Yes, the dry pour is great, and we're excited to do it again. Let us know if you do a dry pour! We are so proud of the kids! It's been so rewarding to watch them grow into their own personalities. Now if we can just get them to get along more, that would be amazing! lol After we harvest the garlic, we hang it to dry and then it's good all year! Yes, Gods goodness DOES overwhelm me..... and I'm super sensitive so I cry over pretty much everything.. Happy, sad, scared, angry, excited or overwhelmed... I'm crying. 🥹 I think I was mostly crying because of all the good things that balanced out all the negative things that have been going on around here, too. We've really felt the devil on our backs recently, so to sit in gratitude of all the good, it really made me appreciate it amongst all the bad that's also been going on. That makes us so happy that you're able to enjoy the videos! It's a lot of work, but to hear this coming from viewers makes it all worth it! Ted and I appreciate you and Greg watching more than you know! VW is on the back burner for a while! Neither Ted or I even know where to begin with it! But it's really cool because my Dad, mom and my aunt all learned to drive on it! Thanks again for watching! See ya on the next one! 🌲♡
You guys are such a charming family. Your personalities are so entertaining! Thank you for another great video! I have no doubt your daughter will smash that record before she's through! Also very excited to hear all the updates with your son! You guys are balancing so much, and that energy makes it into every video. You're very much appreciated! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much, Wayne! We really do appreciate the prayers more than you know! May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!🌲😊❤️
So awesome that you both are so involved in your kids lives. Not very many kids have that with their parents. We are grandparents and are there for our grandchildren. They have great parents also. So blessed! GOD is so good
I can't thank you enough for sharing your story with us. I know that it is a lot of work to make these videos. Go, Finley and CJ! Happy that your bees are doing well. In Washington state outhouses are forbidden. They want you to install a mound system, 30K-50K. Hey, Safely Lady, eye and hearing protection? Good parents raising good children. God bless your family. P.S. Another good hair day Jena.
Awe thank you, Charley! Yes we had to get creative with this project to be able to do “just” a vaulted privy and not a full on septic system. I’ll be better on the safety precautions! 🤓 And thank you! I got my hair from my dad- as you can tell from the old home video. 😉
Jenna, I'm a sap too, when it comes to my baby. It doesn't matter how they old are, they will forever be our littles! 🥲 Mmmm, I LOVEEE smores!!! 😋 Love you guys! 🥰
You were a beautiful little girl, just kidding you are still very beautiful with a fantastic husband and two wonderful children. God certainly has been good to you guys. You are a wonderful example of what hard work will produce. Look forward to each video and every new project and accomplishment. Ps I hope she sets the new school record praying for her.
😆 Thank you! We really do appreciate your kind words! ❤️ Finley has a lot of work ahead of her! But we know she can do whatever she sets her mind to do! We will be proud of her no matter what happens! We really appreciate your prayers! We FEEL them! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
You are doing such a good job at building your dream house, and all that goes with it. I wish you all the best of luck in the future at what-ever you may do. Take care. God bless you all. Tim.
Hi family thank you for sharing your story, faith & being so real my girls & I love watching your channel. We do a lot of things as a family too & it’s a true blessing!! Finley you got this girl I can’t wait to see you win. We love you Gus lots of blessings!! Jacky
Thank you so much 🤗 We want nothing more than to bring a little light to someone’s day! Having family is such a HUGE blessing! Finley is running tonight!! 🏃♀️ ❤️ Much love to you and your girls! We hope you all are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
This was such a different but wonderful episode to watch, thank you 😊. Finley, well done on all you have accomplished to date and wishing you all the best moving forward ❤️ I loved track growing up and it's one of my favourite events at the Olympics (without all the drama and bling!). So you could say that the chickens are now well insulated 🤷😂 CJ I love your safety boots 🐊, I've been wearing mine for years. Jenna it's ok to be emotional about thinks that bring you joy it show how much you care. Until next week ❤
😊Thank you Kristina! There is even more stuff going on that we couldn’t fit into this video! It’s been a whirlwind that’s for sure! Thank you for all the kind words to our kiddos! ❤️ They read all of the comments! Well insulated chickens!!! Yes! 😆 We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You guys have successfully raised two wonderful children. The two kids are very confident in their life. They get that from their parents. Just hang in there long enough to let them go to prove to you that you did an awesome job and taking care of your children. You need extra prayers and you will receive them from us.
We definitely can FEEL the extra prayers! It’s going to be so hard to let the kids go, but it’s all part of the journey of life! ❤️ We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You go Finley, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.❤❤🙏🙏My son started out changing oil and tires at the Ford dealership here. He became a certified Ford mechanic and now Owen’s his own diesel truck business.🤗🤗
You have a wonderful family to be proud of! I always look forward to watch your next video and do not understand why 100k subs isn’t coming faster. Keep up the good work.
Slowly but surely! Wonderful comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep on going! 💪🏼 ❤️ Thanks for following along with us and we hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
I’m half asleep as I’m writing this so my thoughts are short and sweet, but I just wanted to tell y’all that your videos are genuinely such a highlight of my week. Y’all really help me keep a good perspective and remind me how I want to live my life! God bless y’all’s family!!
Wow, thank you! 😊 comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep going! ❤️ Many blessings to you and yours as well! May God continue to guide and protect you! We hope you are having a great week!!! 🌲😊❤️
Recently subscribed after seeing renovation video. I am fellow Midwesterner(la Crosse, Wi). Really appreciate your humility and authenticity! Rarely when i watch channels am i moved emotionally, but your willingness to be real and sincere shines! The struggles you encounter, the frustrations, joys, and ability to laugh through it all....... especially identifying God's hand in all you do and giving credit where deserved....🙏coincidiences are God showing up because we have faith...God Bless✌❤
Hi there and welcome to our growing little Pine Family. Wow, thank you for the incredibly kind comment! Ted and I sure appreciate it! And I love that about coincidence are God showing up because we have faith. We can certainly attest to that. It’s not always been easy but it’s always been possible through Christ. Hope you’re having a wonderful week! 🤍🌲☺️
Yay! My favorite Mn Family just downloaded! Go Finley.. my daughter always set goals & she achieved them😇 Great work CJ!Awe..We Love you Jenna …& Ted didn’t fall?🙏🙏Blessing’s
I want that VW so bad! I had a '69 back in '75 I drove it 250 miles a day while working for the B&O railroad. Foolishly sold it, and bought a '68 Malibu station wagon so my co-workers could ride along with me, and help pay for the gas. Getting them to pay was like pulling teeth from a Dinosaur. This video was awesome! Kudos to CJ & Finley. It's great to see them helping out. I love the lights around the tree house. Can't wait for the next dry pour. God bless!
lol darn it that your station wagon plan didn’t work out like you planned! 😅 that’s funny though! I asked my brother what year it is and he said he thinks a 65 or 66! Thank you for watching and we will see ya on the next one! 🤍🌲☺️
Your right You tube is not easy, I agree 100 percent take on sponsorships. We will if we ever get any. You all do you thats why we love you guys and your channel and my wife is obsessed with Peeps so she’ll take some!!! 😂
Yes! You guys know all about the working of UA-cam! Keep up the good work! Many prayers to you all! Just get some pink insulation for your chickens! Peeps! 😂 😂 😆 We hope you all are having a great week! ❤️🌲😊
I don't mind you guys having sponsors at all. Whatever it takes to keep you putting out videos. The content is always great. Looking forward to the dry pour it should generate some views, along with some interesting comments 😅. The Kawasaki is really cool, Too many cool things in this video to comment on. Have a great week.
Thank you Steve! ❤️ We are super excited for our next dry pour! Definitely will stir the pot a little with our comment section! 😆 Slowly but surely CJ is getting that Kawasaki dialed in! It’s old though! 😂 We hope you and Jill are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Congratulations and well done to all of you - fantastic achievements, you should give yourselves a massive tap on the back, your success is down to all your hard work and commitment to create the lives you enjoy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Best of luck to Finley in accomplishing her goals. I have a granddaughter named Finley she will be twelve in August she is also very competitive. I love that I found you guys on UA-cam and the awesome example you set for your family and all of us watching ❣️

Sometimes you just need to look a little harder, but they are there! 🌸 We appreciate you and hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Thank you so much for the update on all you are doing. You are busy people. The kids grow up so fast, so enjoy every minute. I look forward to watching your progress. Steve is one who needs sunshine. He doesn't do well on consecutive cloudy days. Congratulations to Finley and CJ. Hope you have a wonderful week.
Great update guys! Congratulations to the kids they are both doing so great. I have mama tears every other day ❤ it goes so fast. Have a great week! -Jayme 🍁
Thanks so much, Jayme! I'm glad I'm not the only mama who cries... a lot. 🥹 Time just goes by so quick and no one can really prepare you for it! The good, the bad... everything. One day you're chaining diapers and the next your kid is in drivers training! 😳 Hope you guys have had a wonderful week! Blessings! ♡🌲
Jenna and Teddy i know exactly how y'all feel there is always something going on! I have one that is about to be 19. They grow up too fast!! But as always, keep up the hard work 💪🏻! We love y'all, and have a blessed weekend and week ❤️ 🙏🙏🙏!! Jenna Happy Mother's Day to ❤

We've had the same type of weather here in East Texas, a little sun and a lot of rain (spring). Y'all make the best videos, with God's blessings, thank Y'all.
So much rain! 🌧️ But, we did need it! Thanks for following along with us! May God bless you and yours as well! ❤️ We hope you’re having a great week! 🌲😊❤️

You guys are the best! I love watching y’all and praying with the changes coming your way with the kids growing up. I have a son 21 about to get married and a daughter 18 about to go to college it’s tough seeing them grow up knowing they are about to leave the house.
😊 Well thank you for watching! Wonderfully nice comments like yours help to keep us wanting to keep on going! ❤️ We really do appreciate the encouragement! We hope you am are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You guys are doing great, be encouraged and praise God for His many blessings, He is sovereign over it all. Our family is in a similar stage of life, our oldest is 16 and will be getting his drivers license soon. The pink insulation peep thing was hilarious. Blessings.
Yes! Praise God! 🙏🏼 Prayers for your newest driver! 🛞 Peeps! 😂 🐥 Many blessings to you and yours as well! We hope you are having a wonderful week Paul! 🌲😊❤️
I saw your first videos till now ALL. I love the way you made your way, the videos are better and better. Such a nice family and also projects. Love to see your channel. Greetings from germany. Uwe
Time does fly so quickly. Really stop to enjoy all the moments and be thankful for each one. Because all of it is such a blessing and right where you are meant to be.

Well who do we owe a thank you too? My guess is Jim and Lydia! ❤️ We are glad you found our channel! We hope you have a wonderful memorial weekend Shayne! 😊🌲❤️
We use straw in the garlic garden, love seeing a family thriving ❤, what a blessing first time viewing, Cajun Concrete gave me your site, I do believe I see some deteration on your dry pour, I’m interested in trying living in Iowa winters, going to try covering with burlap and keeping excess water.
Straw is a great idea! 🧄 We love Jim and Lydia. They have been a HUGE blessing to our family ❤️ Keep us posted on how the dry pour goes for you 👍🏼 We will be doing another one soon!
First off -- HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! Proverbs 31:28-29 "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'" Proverbs 31:25 "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” As far as sponsorship -- as my favorite Manitowac Minute host says -- Keep er mov'in. We will never talk ill of you for brining the joy to this world that you do. I pray that you have many sponsors that help make ends meet. Was that a Georgia Peach Bug in the garage??? Looks like a 1968 Beattle. This family is so transparent and full of love for each other that you bring a smile to even the darkest day. Jenna, your smile more than makes up for the clouds and the rain in life. 1 Peter 3:4 "You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God." Finley, you go -- never give up, never surrender, keep pushing forward -- always. CJ, Rock on dude, keep giving your mom grey hairs with your driving (I am so blessed that St Paul is sooo far away from Da Great White Nort (kidding)) Congratulations on the job. Proverbs 1:8-9 "Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction; don’t neglect your mother’s teaching; for they are a graceful wreath on your head, and beads for your neck." What a beautiful place to call home, and a wonderful family to share it with Thank you for giving us tour of the LiFe In Pines Psalm 127:3 “Children are God’s love-gift; they are heaven’s generous reward.” Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Hey Todd and thank you for the mother's day wishes! I had a most wonderful day spent with the family. Thank you for the encouraging words regarding sponsorships! We shall, keep 'er movin'.... as long as the sponsors keep wanting to work with us! We are truly blessed to have brands reaching out! It was indeed a Georgia Peach Bug- complete with original GA license plate from who knows what year! My brother believes it's a '65! Kids say thank you for cheering them on in their own life endeavors! Thank you for always coming along on our crazy journey! See ya on the next one! ♡🌲
I love how you always pray together before starting your day. God bless you and your beautiful family 🙏😇❤️💞
Thank you! Our faith is such a huge part of our lives, we knew from the beginning we couldn’t leave it out of our content.
May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
It’s so rewarding when your kids grow up and show the rest of the world the hard work you put into them! Good job mom, dad and CJ!!!
Thank you so much! We are so proud of our kiddos! They are growing up WAY too fast though!!!
😊🌲❤️
@@TheLiFeInPines they do grow up too fast! Our baby turned 18 in August and I cried so hard!!!
Another wonderful video. Always a pleasure watching the latest activities. You go Finley, break that record. And CJ...good luck on the mechanics class. Thanks for sharing your family with us. Have a great week. 👍🏼👍🏼🌲🌲
Thank you! 😊
We all hope you are having a great week as well! 🌲❤️😊
Amen it’s all in God’s hand, HE is preparing your son. And blessing you for being good parents.
😊😊❤️❤️ Amen!🙏🏼
In that old footage, Jenna looks _just_ like her dad, except for the mustache! I really miss my short-lived motorcycle days.
I agree!! 🥰
❤️Yes!!! Her brothers look just like him too!
It’s never too late to find a motorcycle! I have no doubt that you could find something very unique! ☀️🌲😊❤️
Congratulations to Finley keep up running 👍 so nice to see the kids helping out! Best of luck with the bees😊
Finley is a dedicated and hard working athlete, for sure! It's so nice to have the kids helping out (when they’re willing! 😂) thank you! We’re hoping they make it through the winter! Thank you for watching and we hope you have a great day! 🤍🥰🌲
Such a great video! My wife and I love that you are so real. We watched our babies grow up quickly like that too, our youngest just graduated college and got married in December! It seems like 5 mins ago I was teaching him to ride a bike! Embrace these moments the God gives you to see and share, one day you can look back and smile at where you have been compared to where you are going next! May God Bless you and your family with more than you can ever ask or imagine!!
Thank you so much! Being real and authentic is SO much easier than trying to fake it all the time! haha We don't have the time or energy for that. congratulations to your youngest on their wedding! Gosh I know that's going to come for us in the blink of an eye! People always say that they grow up too fast but you really just have no idea the absolute truth to that until you're in the midst of it! Ted and I hope you guys have had a blessed week and we'll see ya on the next one! 🌲♡☺️
Y’all and your family are just so adorable. I think the friendship, faith, and morals are why most of us watch you build. Sometimes in horror. 🤣 Thankful you got rained out because really liked just watching you talk and discussing details. Bless you all.
Thank you Bobby! 😊There’s actually so much more we wanted to get into the video that we just didn’t have time for! We will try to fill in as we go! Thanks for following along with us! We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You can never beat family time and how fast your kids grow up. You always have to treasure those moments and memories . One minute they are small the next they are grown and starting a life of their own. I totally can relate to how you feel Jenna and Ted. You have raised both your daughter and son with pride and it shows. I look back at everything l did as a parent and my daughter and son are married and have created a life for themselves l am very proud of them both as l know you and Ted are also. I was wondering how the bees faired during the winter and happy to see they are thriving and ready to pollinate and produce honey. Your pencil holder chicken is so funny especially now she has made a nest in your garage.The wall tent will look spectacular once it arrives and installed. Projects never stop when you have a home and other properties to maintain, thats what keeps us young, burnt out at times but worth it. I so enjoy following you each week all of you are a great inspiration to anyone raising a family. See you next week. God bless all of you.
You’re absolutely right! We’re doing our best to treasure and make the most of every moment! It sounds like you raised your kids in much the same way we are raising ours!
Yes we are so happy that the bees made it through- granted we did have a very mild winter, but we’ll take it! 🐝
We definitely have felt on the verge of burnt out and oftentimes are overwhelmed but we’re just gonna keep on swimming!
Thanks for always following along and being a big supporter! We sure appreciate it! See ya on the next one! 🤍🌲☺️
Oh my-so many good moments in this video! First, congrats to the kids for all their accomplishments-I know you are very proud of them. And the rest of the video, all so much fun to watch. The beautiful scenery (and the way you film it), the chickens, the bees, and the tree house, all great! Emotional tears, never be embarrassed. Some things are just too good to hold in. Your family youtube episodes are my favorite things to watch. Have a very Happy Mother’s Day-see you next week❤️
Thank you Laura! ❤️ 🥹
We appreciate you following along with us on this journey of life!
We hope you are having a wonderful week! See you next time! 😊🌲❤️
Sheer simplicities and beautiful distractions can often be overlooked especially in the daily human conditions but it is these things that will mean the most as you someday reflect on what this life has given you....guys hold on to the moments because the ghosts of the past are just as important as the promises of the future....blessings to you and future detours in life's highway!
Beautifully said and so absolutely true. Thank you, Terry! Ted and I hope you have had a wonderful week! Many blessings to you. ♡🌲
Your family values, faith, and work ethic are second to none. I am so glad that I started watching your channel when I did (back when you first started the tree house), you have quickly become one of my very favorite families to watch. You should never have to apologize for your emotions, because that is one of the things that shows how deeply you care.
We are so glad that you found our channel! We really do appreciate the wonderful kind words of encouragement! We also appreciate you following along with us in this crazy journey of Life!
We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Remember kids. “ My (Our) father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. His blessings and provisions are endless.” It’s so heartwarming to see you both again. May God continue to bless your family.
Thank you Tom! ❤️
His blessings and provisions are sooo endless! 🙌🏻
May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Way to go Kids. Never a doubt that they would Succeed.
You never have to apologize for showing us your emotions.
Love you all, if that's possible without ever meeting you❣️
Thank you! 😊
Love is absolutely possible without meeting someone! Much love to you! ❤️ We appreciate you! ❤️
We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
This was quite the extensive update, I understand mommas tears, made my eyes leak a little too. Thanks so much to the whole family, prayers sent for further success.
😊Thank you so much! We so feel the prayers sent our way! ❤️
We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲 It was so nice to be able to drop in and spend some time with you all. I was blessed by this video more than you can know. I appreciate seeing more of Finley and CJ and learning more about what the Lord is doing in their lives. We home schooled our kids also, that was long enough ago that it was illegal and we had to have specific insurance against lawsuits from the school board and state as a result. Our grankids were also homeschooled. It is wonderful to see Finley flourishing with her competitive spirit and doing well in track. The info on CJ really struck a chord with me because it's very close to the experience my son and I shared. I was always into cars, racing, building, construction and mechanics. My son picked up an interest that also turned into a passion for anything car related. We worked together doing a total restoration on an '85 Z28 Camaro that he owns and built an engine for it. We also did a complete resoration on a '68 Mustang GT that is mine. It got to the point we outgrew the shop at my house and 2 years ago I built a full 1500 sq ft shop with lift and and equipment at his house. He is a certified auto tech and left Ford to work for GM dealer in town and a lot of Ford vehicles followed him to GM. They love it and him because of all the extra work he brought and can work on any make or model car, old or new. Virtually all of their techs won't touch a lot of the stuff he works on because they lack the knowledge and skill. He does a lot of side work at his shop at home and is being blessed by it. That was a longer way to get get to this than I planned 🙃 When Ted was talking about CJ working on the cycles and even a large engine, I spotted the VW in the back of the building. I immediately jumped to "that's a perfect project for CJ to take on and maybe be a Ted and CJ project". Then at the end of the video you said it was a future project and I smiled. That is so great about CJ getting the job and how that all fell right into place. Our God is so good and blesses us with so much! I'm glad the Lord provided the opportunity and allowed you to open up to taking on sponsors to enable continuing in this youtube adventure. Please don't feel bad or the need to apologize to us for taking on sponsors, anyone who makes snarky remarks just doesn't understand much or even care. Jenna, you are right about the kids growing so fast and things changing. You are also right about Lydia and Jim being the experts on the dry pour concrete projects. They just finished the walkway at his folks house in their last vid. Your random scenes and skilled editing were amazing as usual Jenna and I really appreciate the effort you give to it. Seeing how you all enjoy Squatters Heights so much, I couldn't help but think about how you might miss it's availability to you when occupied by others. I might just have to add that to my bucket list, I love everything about it. It is stunning in every way. Are you all seeing the Northern Lights? I've rambled on far too long... God bless you guys. A faithful cone or nut at times ... Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Hi Larry! Yes, I figure they don't always make it into every episode so maybe we could update on what's going on with them lately! They're BUSY but we love it. Thats so crazy about homeschooling being illegal! MN is pretty laid back about homeschooling but it was still very overwhelming when we first began. Kids are both doing great, though!
It sounds like you are very proud of your son, as you should be! Thats why we love homeschooling, so we can hone in on the kids' specific interests so they don't leave high school wondering what they want to do and feeling the pressure to attend college still unsure of their future. It's such a good way for them to explore their options and learn what they like and dislike before they have to spend tens of thousands of dollars figuring it out in college.
We do feel incredibly blessed that brands are even wanting to work with us. The Lord sure knows are needs and his provisions have always been sufficient for us.
We really do enjoy being over at the Squatters Heights! It will always be limited availability due to it being on our property. Hoping to bless others with it, but we want to keep our privacy secure, too.
We most certainly did see the northern lights! Heavens declared Gods Glory that night and we were blessed to get to witness it! Some of the best we've ever seen! Stay tuned for footage from the incredible light show! Have a great week and well see ya soon!♡🌲☺️
Praise our Lord for the many blessings He has bestowed on your family! Congratulations to your son and daughter! Good God reports are good for the heart! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for praying and showing your dependence on God!
Yes! Praise Him! ❤️ 🙏🏼
Ya know Ted, smoke follows beauty and beauty was a horse. Grins. Happy Mother’s Day. My wife lost her mom two weeks ago so it’s been a rough two weeks and tomorrow will be hard for her. Our kids are also rapidly aging out lol. Our son is a Jr. in high school and a lifeguard. Our daughter is in her second year of college and will be moving from Va to TX in the fall to be with her Army finance. So enjoy your day tomorrow. Be proud of your accomplishments when you look at your kids. And enjoy your successes. From Richmond, VA.
😅 Thank you for the mother's day wish! I truly had a wonderful day spent with my family.. I couldn't have asked for more. I am so sorry to hear of your wife's mother's passing. 🥺 Im sure the first of many holidays will be difficult. Prayers for your family! Thats very cool about your kids and it sounds like you are very proud of them! They really do grow up too fast! People always tell you that but you really just have no idea until it's happening to you! Hope you guys have had a wonderful week! ♡🌲
Just one of the "Pine Nuts" checking in. Shared the video again and wanted to say that you all are killin' it. I know you meet yourselves coming and going, but you are grounded in God and it shows. You have two amazing kids and are blessed with opportunity around every corner. I'm amazed at how you find a way to balance things out and overcome the obstacles that come along. SO proud of all four of you for doing what you do. I'm just thankful that you take us along on your journey. It's truly inspiring to all of us.
Wonderful comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep going! We are so busy, but we know that it won’t last long! We are enjoying every bit of it! Always trying to remember to smell the flowers along the way! 🌸
We really appreciate you following along with us on this journey of life! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Years fly by so fast, your videos will be great reminders one day of how special this time is. Our boys are 11 and 13, it's slipping by so quickly.
Yes! We watch videos from a year ago and it’s amazing how much time flys!
Kids grow up way too fast!
🌲😊❤️
Blessings after blessings after blessings.......I Love YOU LORD....now I'm crying.....lov from south alabama.

Thanks for following along with us! ❤️
We how you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Yes! Glad to see the dry pour update. This was a fun video to watch. It's been fun following along with you guys and see how much you have accomplished and watching the kids grow into fine teens. It's nice to see them so involved in everything andd so willing to pitch in and lend a helping hand. You guys have raised them right. Kudos to you all!
Mike
Thanks Mike! Some days it’s a harder than others to get them to help! 😆
We appreciate you following along with us, Mike! It really does mean a lot to us!❤️
Hey Pine Peeps…WOW, what a great way to totally enjoy my Saturday morn coffee watching your latest adventures…Such a jam packed episode: Dry pour update, restoring vintage cycles, wall tent on the way, track meets, enjoying the fire pit, chasing chickens out of the gardens and launching the patio boat to name a few…Thanks so much for sharing it all…IAG, eh!!! 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching Dale! We hope you are having a great week!!! 🌲😊❤️🇺🇸
God bless you all, I love seeing your family and the love you have for the Lord! Numbers 6:24-26
May God bless you and yours as well! 🙏🏼
🌲😊❤️
I just love you tow and your channel. Great family, great kids, great God we serve! You're so real, and feel like friends. Keep up the good work!
Awe, thank you so much! Ted and I sure appreciate you saying that! We're happy that you feel that way! We've made many great friends through UA-cam! Hope you have a great weekend! 🌲♡
Oh my gosh! Where do I start when it comes to listing everything I loved about this video? I loved that you both had pink on. It's such a nice spring-y color among the cloudiness. Duty/doodie....hilarious! The update on the dry pour was much appreciated. Greg and I are considering doing one this year so it was great to see how yours is holding up. Excited to see your next one! "Penny! Go hold a pencil!" 🤣🤣 Finley and CJ are both incredible young people. They are beautiful, strong kids that are finding their way and it's a joy to see. Pink insulation and chickens! Who knew, LOL?? It's so neat that Ted likes the bees. Glad they made it through winter ok! I envy your garden. I wish I had the gumption to consistently have one. How will you keep all that garlic fresh? Go ahead and cry, ya big sap! It's plain your gratefulness to God overwhelms you at times and that's a good thing. We should all recognize the gifts He gives us. The addition of the lights to the platform is so pretty and now I really want to try some asparagus in my cast iron and burgers over our firepit! "Pencil holder chicken hootis" 😆😅 This run-down of your video is just meant to let you know that, when Greg and I watch your videos, we have 20 minutes or so of constant smiles and, at the end, we both invariably sigh in contentment. We enjoy every minute! BTW.....Greg CANNOT WAIT for the VW project! He redid one back in high school. Love you guys. Your video-ing and editing skills are more than on point. Can't wait for the next one!
Awe you're too kind! Thats so funny that you noticed what we were wearing! It's been so grey and drab here with the rainy and cloudy days that we just needed some color!
Yes, the dry pour is great, and we're excited to do it again. Let us know if you do a dry pour!
We are so proud of the kids! It's been so rewarding to watch them grow into their own personalities. Now if we can just get them to get along more, that would be amazing! lol
After we harvest the garlic, we hang it to dry and then it's good all year!
Yes, Gods goodness DOES overwhelm me..... and I'm super sensitive so I cry over pretty much everything.. Happy, sad, scared, angry, excited or overwhelmed... I'm crying. 🥹 I think I was mostly crying because of all the good things that balanced out all the negative things that have been going on around here, too. We've really felt the devil on our backs recently, so to sit in gratitude of all the good, it really made me appreciate it amongst all the bad that's also been going on.
That makes us so happy that you're able to enjoy the videos! It's a lot of work, but to hear this coming from viewers makes it all worth it! Ted and I appreciate you and Greg watching more than you know!
VW is on the back burner for a while! Neither Ted or I even know where to begin with it! But it's really cool because my Dad, mom and my aunt all learned to drive on it!
Thanks again for watching! See ya on the next one! 🌲♡
You guys are such a charming family. Your personalities are so entertaining! Thank you for another great video! I have no doubt your daughter will smash that record before she's through! Also very excited to hear all the updates with your son! You guys are balancing so much, and that energy makes it into every video. You're very much appreciated! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much Jeremy! We really do appreciate your kind words! We hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
It’s wonderful how you work so well together and have fun doing it. Blessings to your family and Happy Mother’s Day Jenna. 🌹
Thank you! 😊 ❤️💐💐 Many blessings to you and yours as well! We how you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Good job CJ, God has many blessings for you. Praying for the family. Amen
Thank you so much, Wayne! We really do appreciate the prayers more than you know! May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!🌲😊❤️
So awesome that you both are so involved in your kids lives. Not very many kids have that with their parents. We are grandparents and are there for our grandchildren. They have great parents also. So blessed! GOD is so good
We wouldn’t have it any other way! GOD IS SOOO GOOD! 😊 Every day is truly a blessing!
We hope you are having a great week Joyce! 🌲😊❤️
I can't thank you enough for sharing your story with us. I know that it is a lot of work to make these videos. Go, Finley and CJ! Happy that your bees are doing well. In Washington state outhouses are forbidden. They want you to install a mound system, 30K-50K. Hey, Safely Lady, eye and hearing protection? Good parents raising good children. God bless your family.
P.S. Another good hair day Jena.
Awe thank you, Charley! Yes we had to get creative with this project to be able to do “just” a vaulted privy and not a full on septic system.
I’ll be better on the safety precautions! 🤓
And thank you! I got my hair from my dad- as you can tell from the old home video. 😉
Jenna, I'm a sap too, when it comes to my baby. It doesn't matter how they old are, they will forever be our littles! 🥲
Mmmm, I LOVEEE smores!!! 😋
Love you guys! 🥰
Yes! Always my babies, Even if they are WAY taller than me! 😊 Much love to you too Hillary! ❤️😊🌲
You were a beautiful little girl, just kidding you are still very beautiful with a fantastic husband and two wonderful children. God certainly has been good to you guys. You are a wonderful example of what hard work will produce. Look forward to each video and every new project and accomplishment. Ps I hope she sets the new school record praying for her.
😆 Thank you! We really do appreciate your kind words! ❤️
Finley has a lot of work ahead of her! But we know she can do whatever she sets her mind to do! We will be proud of her no matter what happens!
We really appreciate your prayers! We FEEL them!
We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
Congratulations, Finley and CJ!!!🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you! 😊 ❤️
We're so happy for you two and your family!!!😊 Steve and Pam ❤❤

This was such a different but wonderful episode to watch, thank you 😊. Finley, well done on all you have accomplished to date and wishing you all the best moving forward ❤️ I loved track growing up and it's one of my favourite events at the Olympics (without all the drama and bling!). So you could say that the chickens are now well insulated 🤷😂 CJ I love your safety boots 🐊, I've been wearing mine for years. Jenna it's ok to be emotional about thinks that bring you joy it show how much you care. Until next week ❤
😊Thank you Kristina! There is even more stuff going on that we couldn’t fit into this video! It’s been a whirlwind that’s for sure! Thank you for all the kind words to our kiddos! ❤️ They read all of the comments!
Well insulated chickens!!! Yes! 😆
We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You guys have successfully raised two wonderful children. The two kids are very confident in their life. They get that from their parents. Just hang in there long enough to let them go to prove to you that you did an awesome job and taking care of your children. You need extra prayers and you will receive them from us.
We definitely can FEEL the extra prayers! It’s going to be so hard to let the kids go, but it’s all part of the journey of life! ❤️
We hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You go Finley, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.❤❤🙏🙏My son started out changing oil and tires at the Ford dealership here. He became a certified Ford mechanic and now Owen’s his own diesel truck business.🤗🤗
Thank you! ❤️ 🏃♀️ 🙏🏼
That’s so cool about your son! Everyone has to start somewhere!!! 🤗
We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
You have a wonderful family to be proud of! I always look forward to watch your next video and do not understand why 100k subs isn’t coming faster. Keep up the good work.
Slowly but surely! Wonderful comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep on going! 💪🏼 ❤️
Thanks for following along with us and we hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️

Wow, thank you! 😊 comments like yours help to keep us motivated to keep going! ❤️ Many blessings to you and yours as well! May God continue to guide and protect you! We hope you are having a great week!!! 🌲😊❤️
Recently subscribed after seeing renovation video. I am fellow Midwesterner(la Crosse, Wi). Really appreciate your humility and authenticity! Rarely when i watch channels am i moved emotionally, but your willingness to be real and sincere shines! The struggles you encounter, the frustrations, joys, and ability to laugh through it all....... especially identifying God's hand in all you do and giving credit where deserved....🙏coincidiences are God showing up because we have faith...God Bless✌❤
Hi there and welcome to our growing little Pine Family. Wow, thank you for the incredibly kind comment! Ted and I sure appreciate it! And I love that about coincidence are God showing up because we have faith. We can certainly attest to that. It’s not always been easy but it’s always been possible through Christ. Hope you’re having a wonderful week! 🤍🌲☺️

We are so blessed! Two beautiful HEALTHY children! ❤️
We could definitely see CJ starting his own channel some day! He is SO smart and FUNNY!
🌲😊❤️
I want that VW so bad! I had a '69 back in '75 I drove it 250 miles a day while working for the B&O railroad. Foolishly sold it, and bought a '68 Malibu station wagon so my co-workers could ride along with me, and help pay for the gas. Getting them to pay was like pulling teeth from a Dinosaur.
This video was awesome! Kudos to CJ & Finley. It's great to see them helping out. I love the lights around the tree house. Can't wait for the next dry pour. God bless!
lol darn it that your station wagon plan didn’t work out like you planned! 😅 that’s funny though! I asked my brother what year it is and he said he thinks a 65 or 66!
Thank you for watching and we will see ya on the next one! 🤍🌲☺️
Love the sound of the tree frogs its the only thing I miss
We love them, too! They can get so loud!!
That cry made the blog. Beautiful
Awe 🥹 I’m such a sap! 😂
Thanks for following along with us! We hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️

Just get some pink insulation for your chickens! Peeps! 😂 😂 😆
We hope you all are having a great week! ❤️🌲😊
I don't mind you guys having sponsors at all. Whatever it takes to keep you putting out videos. The content is always great. Looking forward to the dry pour it should generate some views, along with some interesting comments 😅. The Kawasaki is really cool, Too many cool things in this video to comment on. Have a great week.
Thank you Steve! ❤️
We are super excited for our next dry pour! Definitely will stir the pot a little with our comment section! 😆
Slowly but surely CJ is getting that Kawasaki dialed in! It’s old though! 😂
We hope you and Jill are having a wonderful week! 🌲😊❤️
@@TheLiFeInPines I know what you mean by taking a while to get it dialed in, it's old takes a while for Jill and I to get dialed in also 🤣
😂 😆 😝

Great update guys! Congratulations to the kids they are both doing so great. I have mama tears every other day ❤ it goes so fast. Have a great week! -Jayme 🍁
Thanks so much, Jayme! I'm glad I'm not the only mama who cries... a lot. 🥹 Time just goes by so quick and no one can really prepare you for it! The good, the bad... everything. One day you're chaining diapers and the next your kid is in drivers training! 😳 Hope you guys have had a wonderful week! Blessings! ♡🌲

You guys are the best! I love watching y’all and praying with the changes coming your way with the kids growing up. I have a son 21 about to get married and a daughter 18 about to go to college it’s tough seeing them grow up knowing they are about to leave the house.
Thank you, Chris! We really do appreciate the prayers! Prayers for your family as well! 🌲❤️😊

We use straw in the garlic garden, love seeing a family thriving ❤, what a blessing first time viewing, Cajun Concrete gave me your site, I do believe I see some deteration on your dry pour, I’m interested in trying living in Iowa winters, going to try covering with burlap and keeping excess water.
Straw is a great idea! 🧄 We love Jim and Lydia. They have been a HUGE blessing to our family ❤️
Keep us posted on how the dry pour goes for you 👍🏼
We will be doing another one soon!
What beautiful memories you are making for the kids!
Yes! SO many GOOD memories! ❤️❤️❤️
First off -- HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
Proverbs 31:28-29 "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'"
Proverbs 31:25 "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
As far as sponsorship -- as my favorite Manitowac Minute host says -- Keep er mov'in. We will never talk ill of you for brining the joy to this world that you do. I pray that you have many sponsors that help make ends meet.
Was that a Georgia Peach Bug in the garage??? Looks like a 1968 Beattle.
This family is so transparent and full of love for each other that you bring a smile to even the darkest day.
Jenna, your smile more than makes up for the clouds and the rain in life.
1 Peter 3:4 "You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God."
Finley, you go -- never give up, never surrender, keep pushing forward -- always.
CJ, Rock on dude, keep giving your mom grey hairs with your driving (I am so blessed that St Paul is sooo far away from Da Great White Nort (kidding))
Congratulations on the job.
Proverbs 1:8-9 "Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction; don’t neglect your mother’s teaching; for they are a graceful wreath on your head, and beads for your neck."
What a beautiful place to call home, and a wonderful family to share it with
Thank you for giving us tour of the LiFe In Pines
Psalm 127:3 “Children are God’s love-gift; they are heaven’s generous reward.”
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Hey Todd and thank you for the mother's day wishes! I had a most wonderful day spent with the family.
Thank you for the encouraging words regarding sponsorships! We shall, keep 'er movin'.... as long as the sponsors keep wanting to work with us! We are truly blessed to have brands reaching out!
It was indeed a Georgia Peach Bug- complete with original GA license plate from who knows what year! My brother believes it's a '65!
Kids say thank you for cheering them on in their own life endeavors!
Thank you for always coming along on our crazy journey! See ya on the next one! ♡🌲
