Love how Kenji has to supervise everything.. 😂😂😂
This will make feeding the horses so much easier this year! No more dragging hay through the snow on sleds!
Your kids are so fortunate for the life you are creating for them.
That's exactly what I say . There's no way they all won't turn out to be great young adults.
I started following you right when you made the big move to Idaho. I am floored by how much you have accomplished in such a short period of time. Simply amazing! We have a mountain property we will be starting development on in the coming spring and watching how you have put your property together so quickly gives me massive hope that we will be able to do the same. Thank you so much for taking us all on your values driven journey! This is still by far my favorite channel.....
Thank you so much! You have been such an incredible encouragement to us ❤️
Shows what a committed hard working family can do. Like you I started following them when they got to Idaho.
Awww that's right ✅️ 👏🏿 😊
I began watching your channel when you were still in WA and deciding whether you should wait or go ahead and make the move. So much has happened, you have accomplished so much since deciding to make the leap.
Your community cares so much for your family. The support translates to continued financial gains which we all are able to witness and live vicariously through. Realization of your dreams means so much to you and now also to the community that backs you in any way possible. There are such caring folks in this world and believing that provides even more incentive to jump on the bandwagon. Your family set out to fulfill dreams and so much love has developed along the way. I hope you are as proud of yourselves as you deserve to be.
Love your videos, I've only been following for a short time, but have been catching up on back videos. Just love the banter between Jeremy and Melissa. Their love and determined enthusiasm has never wavered🌹. The toy drive is amazing, look forward updates. If I have a complaint its when each video is finished, I want more😂😂. 💜💜 ps...the pantry is fantastic, super organised 👌👌
Your barn is FABULOUS
At our barn we planted hedges all around the out side to keep the horses from damaging the siding of our barn. We also used weed cover cloth to keep the weeds away. The hedges we bought have different flowers on them which makes the smell beautiful. Also the hedges keep away a lot of snow drifting around the sides in winter. We love it. Maybe you can look into this idea.
Put heavy post near your doorways for rubbing purposes not attached to fence
No matter where I’m at, I wake up on Saturday morning anxiously waiting for your posting. Thank you and God bless all of you.
You're the best!
You are not the only one @karensperos8621
Same!! ❤❤❤
Same ❤
Your words of wisdom at the end of each video are really amazing, as amazing as y'all are as a family. What a wonderful example of the "can do" American/human spirit.
Thank you so much!
Kira is such a great little helper in the garden and the kitchen!🥰🥰
She's really turning in to quite the "mini Melissa" with the horses and everything!
That auger is worth its weight in gold. It’s great!
"A change is not a threat or loss, it's a chance" SO LOVE THAT! I love your endings with words of wisdom 😊Thank you for all you do, including the cancer community!
Awesome accomplishments again this week - hay taken care of and out of the elements (thanks to the young men who helped), doors on the barn, fencing posts installed, zucchini bread made and my favorite time of the fall ... apple picking (and did they look wonderful)! Sad to know that the first frost is right around the corner and then "that" time of year. Praying you all have a blessed week and viewers - if you can, please help out their annual drive .. it means so much to the kids and their families. ❤❤
Don't forget to secure plywood panels to the interiors of both horse stalls. Their called kick panels n they'll keep ur horses safe from injuries n keep ur metal walls in one piece.
My son can attest to the horse ownership deal. He married into a family of female horse owners and his youngest daughter, whom he absolutely adores is only 4 1/2 but has been showing horses since she was two years old and has ribbons to prove it.
Your kids are learning such important life lessons but working alongside y’all and being given the freedom to play on their own on your beautiful property. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Melissa, I am most impressed by how much you have filled up your kitchen with bottles of food for the winter. A lot of work getting ready for the winter. After watching your last year's pediatric cancer toy drive, wish you all the best on this year drive.
Love from Mike. ❤
Thank you 😊
Kenji is such a good supervisor. Exciting progress!
What a pleasure to see your oldest son helping his parents. He is really strong and a very nice guy. Kira is a great help in the garden and in the kitchen. Its never too early to learn cooking, baking, preserving and gardening! Well done kids!! 🥰
"Change is A Chance.." I love your thoughts provoking comments. At 80, your closing comments are so very relevant. I wish I had a booklet capturing every one of them. Thank you all so much for taking us along on your "crazy dream." I am edified and grateful!
Thank you so much 💓
Got a gift ordered! Was not able to help out last year. So glad I was able to be a part of this awesome project! Hoping this year is bigger and better than ever!
Awesome! Thank you so much!!
Your children in their hats walking away would make a great photo to frame
It's truly impressive witnessing the strides you've taken in enhancing your property while maintaining a remarkable level of video quality-it's truly beautiful. Melissa, your beauty shines even more and your physique is totally admirable! May your family experience a lifetime of happiness that matches the love and dedication you've invested in creating your ideal living space.
God bless you for living out your dream. I love your endings on your videos. You always talk from your heart.
Thank you so much!
I have to say, watching your family on my washing clothes Saturday is the most relaxing, and enjoyable experience while watching your UA-cam channel ❤
I'm so glad!
Awesome changes always being made, you are all doing great things!! 🥰
Thanks so much!!
Poor little Debbie! She left a lot of her tail in the gate! The darn gate paid for it though. You certainly accomplished a ton of work during this video. Busy, hard working family preparing for the Idaho winter is inspiring!💕
It's incredible How much they get done!!!
Yep I agree Horses are damned hard work and expensive, feed, vet's bills etc. My wife is the animal lover but I ended up building the stables and doing all the mucking out. The things you do for love!!! Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
You are such kind people helping these families.
That's a lot of hay, well done on getting it moved. That'll be great when the fence is all done. That's an awesome pantry. Yay, barn doors on. Love the kids hats. Great vlog :)
I love the family you and your husband are growing together. ❤️
My 9 year old grand daughter perches on the counter while baking too. 😅 She is a miniature version of her Mom, who is a blonde version of Melissa. ❤
You all are awesome! Thanks for letting us be a part of your wonderful family!!
So glad you have a good place for the hay. The horses are going to love their new home.
Ending climatic verbal notes are as usual- fantastic.
Well you know what they say: happy wife, happy life; have a good week and count your blessings amen.
Can't wait to see the garden, harvest & cooking. Love your editing!❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊

immediates, and a good many of the wants....awesome!!

I've said this before..Melissa, I hope you are compiling these closing remarks to eventually become an inspirational book of life thoughts and reflections. You would reach so many more people with messages that are important with regard to values and common sense.
Great idea!
Build wood fence in front of exposed siding 😊 to protect it
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all you do for the Cancer Coalition for Children! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Kira is a mini Melissa. What a go-getter she is. I loved watching her with the horses and the sweet looks she gets when she's in the kitchen helping cook.
😊 thank you
9/30/23 - Good Job guys! Y'all have done wonders with your beautiful property ! Have enjoyed following ! Your Horses are going to be so happy in their new home!
So much done that needed doing!!! Yay barn doors! 🎉🎉
This is such a satisfying video. Seeing you all pick the fruits and vegetables of all that labor is really great. Congrats!
Thanks so much! 😊
You guys make my heart happy😍💙💖💙💖💜💗🥰 Much Love & Hugs from Catherine, UK, England 🇬🇧 xXx
I just love watching all of the progress that has been made since you first moved here to Idaho. I look forward to each week’s new video. It’s exciting to watch. Congratulations on all of your hard work this year. It all looks so beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much Cindi 💓
Love the improvements that have been made! With zucchini that big they will work great with making zucchini boats, my favorite dish.
You guys packed a lot of awesomeness in this video! 👏
Thank you!! 😁
Another big job. I used to unload and stack 400 bales every year by myself when i had horses. I miss the horses but not all the work that went with them.
You guys sure have prioritized as well as organized. Things are looking good, you seem ready for the upcoming winter.
Zucchini bread is so good. Wonderful video.
Life is so beautiful and your sharing it with us is a wonderful part of life. You have accomplished much to do many projects and prepare for winter. Glad to see the Horse Barn coming together and the new set up for them. Preparing your harvested food for the winter and picking apples as a family is the reason that so many of us love to follow you. Have a great week and can't wait to see what other progress you guys make this week. Until the next one be blessed and safe. Ciao.
Everything looks so nice. Your family has worked so hard in the heat and cold to build your home and everything else. You both were born for each other. What a wonderful accomplishment for your family a home to raise your children and just enjoy life. I seen the title of the video and thought omg Bears lol. Thank God the barn is up for the horses. When it gets really cold do you put the sheep up? Just wondering never lived on a working farm. And those apples look so delicious. And don’t forget about the View.
GSL and Souza Family you are super at dealing with the challenges you face daily on your Homestead journey especially with your Horses and their Pen and the new Barn!! Great to see the Kids always assisting with everything from stacking the Horses haystacks and garden or any other projects in the house Always great to sit and watch on Saturday’s !! Good weekend GSL and The Souza Family 🇨🇦🇨🇦🌹😎🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video - you didn't leave behind - you brought with you your experience so you could continue on what makes you happy - I am so happy and proud for you for what you guys have become - have a great week - love ya all more !!!
Thank you so much Lorina 💓
Amazing orchard! Those apples look awesome! Thank you for letting us follow your adventure..the accomplishments…wow!
You can get rolls of rubber flooring and nail around the bottom of the horse barn. Works great.
Everything on your property looks wonderful! Your animals are going to enjoy all that you all have provided for them. God bless you all!🥰🙏❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🐰🐣🐕🐈⬛🐑🐎🚜
We make a zucchini relish out of the large zucchini boats. It also just makes a complimentary side for many other meats.
It's such a blessing that you help the families of the children 🙏 ❤️.
Y'all make it look easy. Keep up the great work.
This video just made me smile,and the story??? Well, a little teary eyes,because my momma and I put up hundreds of jars of garden foods each canning season. The Wisdom you share is priceless!!!❤❤❤
Ah, not so fond memories of hay baling season, except our hay mow was atop the main barn on our farm. We had to use an elevator designed for processing whole ear corn to give the bales a lift into the mow, but after the bales arrived, carrying and stacking them in a close space that was hot and humid was quite the effort. Is it any wonder that Midwestern farmboys make for good, strong football players?
My weekend is not complete without watching your beloved family's video.
Now my Saturday morning is complete. I’ve seen your Saturday morning video. Thanks
I absolutely love how you all work together. The only way. We have 4 horses, 3 mini Pigs, 22 chicken, 3 cats and 5 goats to take care of. Plus all our wild life. It is a never ending chore. Lv and Prayers to all.
You’ll are so blessed to have a Wonderful Supper to watch over the work you do but also the family.
Making great progress. So much has been accomplished in 4 years!
Love the opening. Love the music choices. Love Eli in the tree. Love Kenji. Love watching the guys unload the hay. Love the house night shot - and the night sky. Love watching Kira with the horses - Look at her lounging them! A real Cowgirl! Great video! Bless you guys.
Thank you 😊 💓
Gosh Kira has grown up so much! Such a wonderful help in the kitchen!❤
Your lucky. I started rescuing horses and my husband wasn't comfortable with a big dog much less a horse. At one time I had 10 so count your blessings.
Your work is never done. Yum on the zucchini bread. Horses will love their new homes. Stay well and safe.God Bless you all.
Good morning guys, your property looks fantastic, what a beautiful spot you have there. Your a very kind, loving family for all those kids with Cancer get a big smile on their face. ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
If you put dirt around the outside, it will reduce varmints and not affect your hay, especially since you have it on skids
The barn is coming around. It's so cool the Toy Drive is starting up again. Your blessed and continue blessing others.
For what it’s worth… fencing - get some smallish rebar and weld it along the outside edge of the auger. It will immensely extend the life of the auger bit which you won’t realize is being worn away until you discover how small a hole you’re drilling. Second, put post in hole, kick a few inches of dirt around the post, the cement and the water. What is created is dirt at the bottom to allow water to drain away and a ‘honeycomb’ of cement which also assists with drainage.
You got a lot accomplished again! Your beautiful orchard looks huge!❤
That isn't their orchard. They go to another farm to do bulk apple cherry picking.
Your ending words were beautiful. Cause I just lost my brother's sister-in-law and my mother. But we're gonna keep rolling. You guys give me inspiration all the time
❤️
I see those nice big trees on the property. They could house an awesome tree house that the kids could help build. Those were my best memories of my childhood!!!
The Barn looks great. You are right horses can be destructive without even trying LOL!
Wow. Another excellent video. Your family rocks!
You are so kind
OMG the kids are growing up so much. Outdoor life is really good for them.
Mel and Jeremy, consider dropping a few posts in the ground just beside the stable doors, to stop horses damaging the iron. Like a pine bollard post, for added strength fix top back to the shed.
Good afternoon, GSL Family! The barn is awesome, and thanks to all the young men who stepped up to help you move that hay. I can hardly believe it will be time to put your garden to bed shortly. We have at least a month, if not more, before our first frost here in my part of N.C.. sending you love and prayers for a successful toy drive. Hugs from N.C..❤
That naughty Debbie 😊
The barn looks great! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
grate Job. You are so blessed too have some grate little helpers. how old is your 🐕 he is a grate dog his go every where you are at. God bless you and 👪.
You are so kind! Kenji is 13
Hay work is like concrete work very hard work along with cutting , hauling, splitting firewood. Growing up on a 100 acre farm I learned so.. much & developed a strong work ethic! So Happy Lil Deb is getting her exercise & was able to free her tail ! I rode English for years & horses are spooked so easily. It is frightening to witness their power sometimes! Thank you for providing the information for the families toy’s first! Love everything you guy ‘s do for these families!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
You guys are really good people
I just love ya'll's channel and look foward to it each and every week. Yall are such an inspiration to more people than you probably realize.
Another great adventure. Always love seeing what accomplishments the family does 💖. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I don't care what people say, putting post's in whit dry concrete and adding water works fine
They put up those large doors fast. Always nice to have some pro help to get things wrapped up.
Simple but great idea for the barn floor to keep the hay dry.
Look at your beautiful orchid wow guys 👊💪👍 oooo I can't believe it's 4yrs already 😮❤
That night sky is amazing.Well done on getting you hay into the barn. 👏👏😊💕
So glad Debbie didn’t hurt herself kicking the snot out of that gate😮
Pulled out so much tail!
Listen to this man. I am officially the help. I have moved hay, built fiance taken down the fence, and put in a gate LOL wrong once FYI don't let your horse near the post before the concrete cures. But I love my wife and wouldn't Have it any other way.
Always a pleasure. 😊❤
Wow. Another well-told story. The sequence of shots of Melissa entering the pantry, leaving and turning out the lights, and walking back to the stove.... Impressive attention to detail. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. I didn't realize the amount of apples y'all have. Still plenty on the trees. Everything is looking so great. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride.
