I just realized that I was in Alaska visiting a friend in Willow at this same time last year. It was an incredible experience for me to realize how much snow can fall and how quickly it has to be moved to be able to maintain maneuverability. I too was the camera person taking videos as he cleared the snow every day! My birthday is in December also, and I went snowmachining for the first time ever on my birthday. It was so much fun.
I still have sleepless nights when I know my grown children are driving in the snow. Your husband is such a good man, so much like my own. I lost him in November and watching this video is so bittersweet. God bless your family. I’m praying for you all.
My dad did the same with my sisters and I. He explained driving techniques all the time. We drove on ice more than snow though. Talk about stressful! Aaron is a good dad, and her brothers are good to her too!! Kodie is a really good driver, and I am sure she absolutely appreciates her dad for teaching her how to drive correctly in the snow/ice. Great skill to have! The mountain range is so beautiful! Lovely drive to town. I love how Aaron helps out the neighbors around you; especially the older ones and single woman. Good man. It seems like everyone in your area helps each other out though. Good luck to Wyatt at state!!! And, Happy Birthday early!!
Oh thank you so much! Alaska was so hard to get use to not that we mind helping it’s all the folks who just to help you. Mind blowing. It was hard to receive at first! It’s a special place for sure
Hi sweet one! Another 16 inches of snow...wow! I never hear Aaron complain about any of that hard work clearing snow...what a hard-working, gracious man you married! Yes, Aaron...I hope you read this! I mean every word of it! Kodie seems unfazed by the task of driving in that snow. I would be terrified!!!! The scenery there is just breathtaking. What a beautiful world we live in with such diversified climates and scenery. God is so good to us! Big hugs and many blessings to all!
OH MY GOSH!!! KUDOS to your daughter for being so calm and controlled while driving in all that SNOW!! This old Desert Rat was holding her breath and shaking in her boots the entire time. Now I wish I could do it just to overcome my fear of it and learn how to drive in those conditions. But, at 70+ yrs and living in a desert, I doubt that would happen. BUT, I can watch you and your family as you live my dream of living in Alaska. You all are so blessed with so much. I truly love how close your entire family are, supportive and encouraging for each other, and the tremendous amount of love and respect. That all comes from great parents that set the example and good parenting skills. Stay happy and enjoying every second you can because it seems like a blink of an eye and they are scattered to far off places living their dreams. God Bless and Protect you all!
I hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow! You’ve got a great family Jessica! I love how everyone pitches in & helps to get things done! And bless Kodie’s heart for going in halfsies with her dad to get you your coat! Good luck to Wyatt in state tournaments! Holy Cow! That is alot of snow! If you get too much more you can chisel out snow walls!😆😳
OMG she’s so brave, I’m a retired school bus driver and always said no to snow driving training. We live 1 hour away from the snow resorts, it’s safer in the flat lands. Great job for her for driving in it.
Kodie did a great job driving out to the main road and looked beautiful! Aaron is like the energizer bunny! He just doesn’t stop until the job is done! Fingers crossed for Wyatt at States. Take care Jessica! See ya next vlog!
You see right through us! The kids and I are like I can’t keep up with him honestly I don’t know how he dies it. Been that way the whole time I have known him.
What an experience! For us is very interesting and is absolutely lovely to see how kind you are lol among your neighbors. Your daughter will certainly be OK with all the help she’s getting from her father and you. You’re lucky you have such a lovely family and a happy birthday in advance. I’m sure y’all are going to be very happy in this coming holidays so here’s a merry Christmas and happy new year for you all.❤
I hope that they're happy tears because with all the ups and downs you have had you deserve every single one of us plus many more. So a huge thank you to you for sharing your life with me and everyone else ☺️🥳
10,000 Subscribers-- AWESOME! You have worked hard to achieve it! The Polar Vortex is to be here in Nebraska by next Thursday- high of 0* with wind chills ( -30). I’m not looking forward to it! Merry Christmas Blessings! 💜🔔🎄
It’s hard to believe we have no snow here in the south central Nebraska! It covered about 1/3 of the state in the western panhandle. The amount of snow wasn’t so out of the normal , but the 45/50 mph winds for 5 days causing it to be blizzard & was impossible for the snow plows to open the 2 Interstates. This afternoon is the first day I 80 to Wyoming has been open to traffic. Most State & county roads are not open. Tomorrow the winds are to drop to 20mph! I most snow I heard was Chadron with 30”. My oldest granddaughter & her family live in Gering & she was sending pictures of the drifts!! 💜
I’m enjoying my morning coffee while watching. Please please block those nasty negative people that just have to make others sad to make themselves feel good and superior. They don’t deserve a voice. You have a wonderful relationship with your daughter and whole family as well. Enjoy your life your fabulous! I lived just outside Tyonek at a lumber camp. It was 1974 thru 1977. 5 families from Myrtle Creek, Oregon live there and logged. Others as well. Best time of my life. I was 19 now 68. Retired in Vegas living near my oldest . I so enjoy your videos. Just found you a week or so ago. I have the most hilarious and odd stories of that time in my life. All my best. L
I love to see the moose. I live in Connecticut and it was a couple years ago we had a moose run in front of my yard. I didn’t see it at the time. My neighbor posted a picture on Facebook with the caption “what is a moose doing in the yard across the street? That’s when I saw it. I saw a picture and I was home at the time too. I totally missed it. Lol Anyway, have a happy birthday tomorrow and God Bless you Jessica, I am praying for you everyday.
Jessica is always so happy. I look forward to watching her channel . Thank u Jes and family for my son's birthday greetings. He was so happy we sebt it all family and friends. Love from Trinidad and Tobago.
Oh my goodness…I don’t know how anyone could live in Alaska, so more power to you and your family. I just found your channel and so far I like what your doing. Stay safe and God Bless
Dah-ling! You look marvelous ✨️ in your new coat! Great job driving in the snow Kodie! ❄️ ohmygoodness... you guys are getting hammered with the snow.... sheesh! Great job getting all the plowing done Aaron. You are a blessing to your family and community 🙏. Best of luck Wyatt Take good care all. ☃️🥇🤼♂️
I'm re-doing out the main pantry! Getting it with new sturdy shelves white laminate with laminate facings to look nice... also, while all shelves are out, I'm painting the walls and the supporting boards!
A wonderful strong and loving husband. So nice of him to help the neighbors. My husband is just like him. Out on the tractors for hours. I couldn’t do it. Love seeing your life
We are so sore from digging out. My shoulder is killing me lol. Hubby is 72 yrs old and snow blowing this driveway made us realize we need a smaller property with a flat driveway
Happy Belated birthday! I was traveling this weekend and now I am catching up on videos. I am astonished by how much snow you guys have been getting!!! Kodie looked so beautiful. Her hair is gorgeous. It is so sweet to see how much her daddy loves her.
Got to love the relationship between a father and daughter.😊 Kodie is beautiful inside and out, just like her mom! Kodie I am so proud of you! You were so brave and calm through the drive! What a wonderfully blessed family and how blessed we are to enjoy the journey as well! Merry Christmas and God Bless!
The couple at Simple Living Alaska had a high tunnel . They live near Willow, AK. They had to remove snow from the high tunnel all the time but that worked for 4 years.
Yeay, you are over the 10k subscribers. Well done and your videochannel deserves it. Well after managing all this snow you are Alaska profi's I think. Good job Aaron. You are a fine neighbour to have.
Hey Beautiful family. Seems to me that you guys have similar weather as we do here in NE Minnesota. We ended up getting 3 ft in a day and a half. Finally got plowed out. Had to get a guy with a front end loader to push back our 5 ft snowbank the graiter left for us at the end of our driveway. He made a couple passes down the driveway. I tried to clear it out with my shovel. Lol. That was not fun making a 5 ft path thru there. And when my dad came he was in shock. He said he hasn't seen snow like this in forever. I told him on the phone we had alot. He lives closer to the shore (Lake Superior) than we do. He only got 6 inches. Then after that guy left, dad and I shoveled out my truck and the dumpster. Finally got my snowblower out from the garage and cleaned up what we didn't shovel. Worked outside for 9 hours today. I'm very sore. And I'm not quite done. Tomorrow is the last night day above 20 degrees then it gets down into the single digits and below for like a week. Yuck. We've got a mountain of snow higher than the garage roof peak. 15 ft tall. Kids love it. Lol. Lots of hugs and loves sent your way from NE Minnesota. And Happy Birthday Beautiful lady. How young are you now? 29+change like me? Lol.
Kodie, Your make-up looks really nice. My goodness look at that snow. I'm mesmerized all we get in Eden, N.C. is no more than 4 inches. LOL Kodie, you're doing great 👍 Aaron, you are such a good neighbor 🏘🚜☃️. You are 🤴of the castle. Jessica, Glad you got to get out a bit. Yes ma'am REDBULL is not good for you. No Jessica, I don't miss anything you say. Lol. GO WYATT!!!
Wow! I thought 50 inches of rain in 3 days during hurricane Harvey was wicked. Daughter love never stops no matter the age. We gave our grown kids a combo glass break/seatbelt cutter tool in case they drive into water.
I just LOVE your new jacket! How sweet of Aaron to get it for you! Oh my goodness....MORE snow! Where are you going to put it? LEt it all drain into the lake. So glad you got your propane! Good luck to your wrestler! He is such a great sportsman. I enjoyed seeing the 2 moose. My goodness, I don't wonder why they were on the road. At least it wasn't over their heads with the amount of snow. I am concerned about the deer. It will be tougher for them to forage for food. Great vlog, as usual. ;It is 3:56 PM. here in Maine, and we are getting the Nor'easter. The ground is covered, as it started at 10, EST. and, I LOVE IT!! I'm sure all the ski resorts are tickled pink. And, speaking of pink, I about fell off my chair, when you said you love the softer colors....the baby colors, because, I DO, too!! Have a great, rest of the day, and a terrific weekend. Love and hugs, Bev in Maine
Hey Jessica, wow, you guys got hammered with snow. I live in Ontario, Canada, and we got about 20 inches yesterday, and I think that’s a lot. I hope you guys get a little break so Aaron can have a rest from plowing. Hope Wyatt has a great wrestling match and they win. See ya in the next video. ❤️
The snow is beautiful!!! Maybe you could get a closeup of the chicken with a mullet. How funny are they!!! So cool to see a moose!!! Happy birthday tomorrow!!!!
Jessica, Did Alaska have a dry summer? Well, you will have a wet spring with all that melting snow! Your water tables will so increase for sure! 😉 Here in the middle of Pennsylvania. We just got through a day of sleet and ice with a small amount of snow. So today was chipping off the ice. I just got my two propane 100 gallon tanks filled on Wednesday. 144 gallons filled me up for a couple more months. I bought my propane during the late spring. I got it at $2.89 per gallon. ❤ &🙏 🕊 🙋✨🎄 It is amazing how much snow you got and it is only the beginning for you all! Stay strong and enjoy life!
Hello glad your day went so good today. Mine not so good lol. Our dog Willow decided to go out at 12:30 This morning well Frank was going to wash his hands and no water. Our water isn't frozen but some mechanical thing we guess. Called the plumber this morning they can't come till Monday. So glad for the snow lol melting it on the wood burning stove to take sponge baths and flush toilets lol😅😁😣 God works in mysterious ways. Without snow no flushing toilets lol. This is all for now your friend Judy from Soldotna
@@modernhomesteadalaska actually we love are life good bad and ugly and all keeps us young curious and makes us figure out what to do in times of need. Like the saying goes. LIFE IS LIKE A BOWL OF CHOCOLATE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL FIND. MY SAYING IS BE KIND AND KINDNESS WILL COME TO YOU. Good wishes to you all !!
Hi ya…….we are suppose to be getting a nasty cold snap starting this weekend. Suppose to get Down to -35C . But on the upside it will be cold enough to toss hot water into the air and have it turn to snow. Hahaha great video ❄️🇨🇦❄️
Kodie did great in the snow. 4X4 trucks are the best in snow or SUV's but I love my 4X4 silverado. Your truck looks like mine actually. My white truck gets lost in the snow. lol Stay safe out there. I like driving in the snow but that is about it. Not much snow where I am yet, but it's coming
I actually squealed this morning when our “5 min” snow flurry event happened!! I would probably die of apoplexy if I were in your neighborhood!! What I do not care for …. Are the frigid temps and windchills. Snow is a nuisance but the bone chilling cold is a killer! Do be careful! Aaron sounds like my dad did. I could drive any vehicle in any weather, thanks to his early army days as a tank instructor, prior to his deployment to Korea. Your description of that foggy morning causes me pause!! I am plagued with claustrophobia and when we get socked in a cloud, I have to get away from the windows! In less than 30 minutes, my time, you will be another year older!! SoI am wishing you a very happy birthday 🎈🎂. Until we visit again, much love ❤️ Momma G
Thank you! My dad taught us to drive too! His job ironically was to drive fir the army on the ice road here in Alaska! Calmest driver I know. Big big big day today! All good!
Love sunrises and sunsets and water near painted many a pictures off that. Miss painting . So much snow are you sending it too us in Canada 😂 . We are in for a cold spell here in Alberta going to -32 Celsius brrr we will survive . Happy Birthday Jessica and God Bless 🙏🕊🙏☃️❄️🎄🇨🇦
Hello again from Ohio!Be careful if you have to get out there 😉 My son Austin's 26th Birthday is the 29th and my son Jayden's Birthday is the 23rd. Both December Birthday's. 😆 Happy early Birthday Jessica 🎂🎁🥳🎉🎈
you have such a great family, daddys cherish their baby girls no matter the age. my great grand fathers birthday was also December 15, 1895, his name was Hiram Daugherty Prather. And also Kodie did look very pretty , she looks just like her beautiful mom!!!
Hi Jessica! I don't watch TV, but years ago I picked up the reality show "Alaska the Last Frontier" online. The family (the Kilcher family) was on a multi-generational homestead, and one couple on the homestead had a high tunnel and it looked like they used it a lot. They produced a lot of food. They were/are on the Kenai peninsula if memory serves. Might want to reference the show to see what they did....I think I got it off iTunes....? Maybe you can find it on UA-cam.
My mom's heavenly birthday was yesterday 12/15 also her 12 birthday up there my dad's birthday is 12/28 he will be spending it with mom & his wife this year & my brother that passed in 1979 at age 21 from cancer Happy happy birthday 🎂 to you
Hay que construir un techo para los coches y un deck encima de la puerta del sotano con una base de cemento porque eso es DEMASIADO TRABAJO EN TAN POCO TIEMPO😢
I have (own our tanks as well) two 500 gallon tanks and one 1000 tank. They come to the house to fill. I filled it all in September or maybe August. I don't even want to talk about the price.....Wowsa......lol. Happy Almost Birthday!
Love watching your vlogs, Where we live is so different from your area, I out and about today running errands, it's a beautiful 68 degrees, Sunny sunny. We get a tad of snow every 4-5 years, maybe 😂
That tractor has really been a workhorse and perfect timing.
Oh man no idea where we would be with out it.
I just realized that I was in Alaska visiting a friend in Willow at this same time last year. It was an incredible experience for me to realize how much snow can fall and how quickly it has to be moved to be able to maintain maneuverability. I too was the camera person taking videos as he cleared the snow every day!
My birthday is in December also, and I went snowmachining for the first time ever on my birthday. It was so much fun.
Oh my goodness it was sooo much!
I still have sleepless nights when I know my grown children are driving in the snow. Your husband is such a good man, so much like my own. I lost him in November and watching this video is so bittersweet. God bless your family. I’m praying for you all.
It’s wild! Thank you so much. I’m so. Dry sorry for your. God bless you
My dad did the same with my sisters and I. He explained driving techniques all the time. We drove on ice more than snow though. Talk about stressful! Aaron is a good dad, and her brothers are good to her too!! Kodie is a really good driver, and I am sure she absolutely appreciates her dad for teaching her how to drive correctly in the snow/ice. Great skill to have! The mountain range is so beautiful! Lovely drive to town. I love how Aaron helps out the neighbors around you; especially the older ones and single woman. Good man. It seems like everyone in your area helps each other out though. Good luck to Wyatt at state!!! And, Happy Birthday early!!
Oh thank you so much! Alaska was so hard to get use to not that we mind helping it’s all the folks who just to help you. Mind blowing. It was hard to receive at first! It’s a special place for sure
Hi sweet one! Another 16 inches of snow...wow! I never hear Aaron complain about any of that hard work clearing snow...what a hard-working, gracious man you married! Yes, Aaron...I hope you read this! I mean every word of it! Kodie seems unfazed by the task of driving in that snow. I would be terrified!!!! The scenery there is just breathtaking. What a beautiful world we live in with such diversified climates and scenery. God is so good to us! Big hugs and many blessings to all!
I did give it up Aaron go read! He says see the love me! Lol thank you sooo very much!
Jessica my heart goes out to your husband he is a hard working man praying for y'all husband needs a break much love to y'all
Thank you he is inside today! We are at state wrestling he is on cloud 9 fir sure
OH MY GOSH!!! KUDOS to your daughter for being so calm and controlled while driving in all that SNOW!! This old Desert Rat was holding her breath and shaking in her boots the entire time. Now I wish I could do it just to overcome my fear of it and learn how to drive in those conditions. But, at 70+ yrs and living in a desert, I doubt that would happen. BUT, I can watch you and your family as you live my dream of living in Alaska. You all are so blessed with so much. I truly love how close your entire family are, supportive and encouraging for each other, and the tremendous amount of love and respect. That all comes from great parents that set the example and good parenting skills. Stay happy and enjoying every second you can because it seems like a blink of an eye and they are scattered to far off places living their dreams. God Bless and Protect you all!
Jessica you are so bless to have a good hard working husband I am so proud of you both much love to the family for real
Amen!
I hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow! You’ve got a great family Jessica! I love how everyone pitches in & helps to get things done! And bless Kodie’s heart for going in halfsies with her dad to get you your coat! Good luck to Wyatt in state tournaments!
Holy Cow! That is alot of snow! If you get too much more you can chisel out snow walls!😆😳
Right sooo much going on in these videos! Thank you
Congratulations on the 10,000 subscribers!
Can't wait to move up there. Love the snow!
Oh man infant tell you it moved me today! It’s seriously so beautiful
OMG she’s so brave, I’m a retired school bus driver and always said no to snow driving training. We live 1 hour away from the snow resorts, it’s safer in the flat lands. Great job for her for driving in it.
So agree. Snow is not fun but doable
Kodie did a great job driving out to the main road and looked beautiful! Aaron is like the energizer bunny! He just doesn’t stop until the job is done! Fingers crossed for Wyatt at States. Take care Jessica! See ya next vlog!
You see right through us! The kids and I are like I can’t keep up with him honestly I don’t know how he dies it. Been that way the whole time I have known him.

I just can’t get over how much snow y’all have gotten 😊🎉
Lol us too! We are on the same page
The couple at Simple Living Alaska had a high tunnel . They live near Willow, AK. They had to remove snow from the high tunnel all the time but that worked for 4 years.
Yes I did see that thank you
Yeay, you are over the 10k subscribers. Well done and your videochannel deserves it. Well after managing all this snow you are Alaska profi's I think. Good job Aaron. You are a fine neighbour to have.
I seriously can’t even believe it!
Hey Beautiful family.
Seems to me that you guys have similar weather as we do here in NE Minnesota. We ended up getting 3 ft in a day and a half.
Finally got plowed out. Had to get a guy with a front end loader to push back our 5 ft snowbank the graiter left for us at the end of our driveway. He made a couple passes down the driveway.
I tried to clear it out with my shovel. Lol. That was not fun making a 5 ft path thru there. And when my dad came he was in shock. He said he hasn't seen snow like this in forever. I told him on the phone we had alot. He lives closer to the shore (Lake Superior) than we do. He only got 6 inches.
Then after that guy left, dad and I shoveled out my truck and the dumpster.
Finally got my snowblower out from the garage and cleaned up what we didn't shovel.
Worked outside for 9 hours today. I'm very sore. And I'm not quite done. Tomorrow is the last night day above 20 degrees then it gets down into the single digits and below for like a week. Yuck.
We've got a mountain of snow higher than the garage roof peak. 15 ft tall. Kids love it. Lol.
Lots of hugs and loves sent your way from NE Minnesota.
And Happy Birthday Beautiful lady. How young are you now? 29+change like me? Lol.
Oh my goodness! This is so much! I’ll be 43 or 34 take a pick!!! Lol
Love love love your channel!
Yeah thank you
think it was 200 we received 5 ft of snow in 7 or 8 days in Maine. we kept cleaning up the snow as it fell.
Be warm and safe.
My daughter's bday is the 30th. This snow vlog is exhausting, and I'm not even dealing with it. Your family is a blessing 🥰
Lol on the snow! Happy birthday!!!
Ya , Cody, and dad, she loves her coat. Nice gift, beautiful on her. Hope all are very carefully when on the rode. Love your hole family.

Wow! I thought 50 inches of rain in 3 days during hurricane Harvey was wicked. Daughter love never stops no matter the age. We gave our grown kids a combo glass break/seatbelt cutter tool in case they drive into water.
Amen to that! It’s hard to let them go! And let the lean
Crazy amounts of snow. That is hard work clearing all of that. Wow! Loved seeing the Moose. Baby girl did awesome driving.

Good luck to your wrestler! He is such a great sportsman. I enjoyed seeing the 2 moose. My goodness, I don't wonder why they were on the road. At least it wasn't over their heads with the amount of snow. I am concerned about the deer. It will be tougher for them to forage for food. Great vlog, as usual. ;It is 3:56 PM. here in Maine, and we are getting the Nor'easter. The ground is covered, as it started at 10, EST. and, I LOVE IT!! I'm sure all the ski resorts are tickled pink. And, speaking of pink, I about fell off my chair, when you said you love the softer colors....the baby colors, because, I DO, too!! Have a great, rest of the day, and a terrific weekend. Love and hugs, Bev in Maine
Thank you Bev!!! You are just so amazing I feel like you are such a big part of the channel and my family!
You are adorable in toir new coat! 🎂Happy Birthday to you my sprit animal! Love your Channel!
Thank you that made me blush
I have Shumakers on my mom's dad's side of the family!
Hey Jessica, wow, you guys got hammered with snow. I live in Ontario, Canada, and we got about 20 inches yesterday, and I think that’s a lot. I hope you guys get a little break so Aaron can have a rest from plowing. Hope Wyatt has a great wrestling match and they win. See ya in the next video. ❤️
Thank you see you next video

Ahhh I will try she is funny
Happy Blessed Birthday all. I’m a December baby to. December 27.
Happy soon to be birthday!
Jessica, Did Alaska have a dry summer? Well, you will have a wet spring with all that melting snow! Your water tables will so increase for sure! 😉 Here in the middle of Pennsylvania. We just got through a day of sleet and ice with a small amount of snow. So today was chipping off the ice. I just got my two propane 100 gallon tanks filled on Wednesday. 144 gallons filled me up for a couple more months. I bought my propane during the late spring. I got it at $2.89 per gallon.
❤ &🙏 🕊 🙋✨🎄
It is amazing how much snow you got and it is only the beginning for you all! Stay strong and enjoy life!
This here the end is exactly what we are saying we have more now then we had ALL winter last year! And it’s only started!
WOW! THAT'S ALOT OF SNOW!
It’s getting there for sure
If like your fancy new Carrhart coat, now you will be nice and toasty warm. Plus they wear like iron. Peace love happiness
Oh main! We have so many. A no d I don’t think we have worn many out. Worth the $ for sure!
Hello glad your day went so good today. Mine not so good lol. Our dog Willow decided to go out at 12:30 This morning well Frank was going to wash his hands and no water. Our water isn't frozen but some mechanical thing we guess. Called the plumber this morning they can't come till Monday. So glad for the snow lol melting it on the wood burning stove to take sponge baths and flush toilets lol😅😁😣 God works in mysterious ways. Without snow no flushing toilets lol. This is all for now your friend Judy from Soldotna
Oh no no no Judy! I’m so sorry! But if any one can do it you got this!
@@modernhomesteadalaska actually we love are life good bad and ugly and all keeps us young curious and makes us figure out what to do in times of need. Like the saying goes.

Hi ya…….we are suppose to be getting a nasty cold snap starting this weekend. Suppose to get Down to -35C . But on the upside it will be cold enough to toss hot water into the air and have it turn to snow. Hahaha great video ❄️🇨🇦❄️
Oh no i said that to the wrong message! You have to throw that hot water!!!
Kodie did great in the snow. 4X4 trucks are the best in snow or SUV's but I love my 4X4 silverado. Your truck looks like mine actually. My white truck gets lost in the snow. lol Stay safe out there. I like driving in the snow but that is about it. Not much snow where I am yet, but it's coming
Totally agree! She did good! And got home safe! Thank you fir sharing
I actually squealed this morning when our “5 min” snow flurry event happened!! I would probably die of apoplexy if I were in your neighborhood!!
What I do not care for …. Are the frigid temps and windchills.
Snow is a nuisance but the bone chilling cold is a killer! Do be careful!
Aaron sounds like my dad did. I could drive any vehicle in any weather, thanks to his early army days as a tank instructor, prior to his deployment to Korea.
Your description of that foggy morning causes me pause!! I am plagued with claustrophobia and when we get socked in a cloud, I have to get away from the windows!
In less than 30 minutes, my time, you will be another year older!! SoI am wishing you a very happy birthday 🎈🎂.
Until we visit again, much love ❤️ Momma G
Thank you! My dad taught us to drive too! His job ironically was to drive fir the army on the ice road here in Alaska! Calmest driver I know. Big big big day today! All good!

Oh friend, I had so many I forgot what you told me yesterday. But I feel it was special…..I will go reread it! Hello thank you for today
Found it now I remember you did it at church in Denver! And knew green chili only different but the same
Hi Jessica! I don't watch TV, but years ago I picked up the reality show "Alaska the Last Frontier" online. The family (the Kilcher family) was on a multi-generational homestead, and one couple on the homestead had a high tunnel and it looked like they used it a lot. They produced a lot of food. They were/are on the Kenai peninsula if memory serves. Might want to reference the show to see what they did....I think I got it off iTunes....? Maybe you can find it on UA-cam.
Yes I’m familiar with them. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
and Have Very Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you Jessica! I also share a December birthday on the 22nd. 🎉❤
Happy early birthday!
Arron you are a great dad,and good man.
Amen!

Happy happy birthday 🎂 to you
Oh goodness. Happy heavenly birthday family!
What a wonderful husband and family.
Oh man some days! Thank you so much very kind of you!
Hay que construir un techo para los coches y un deck encima de la puerta del sotano con una base de cemento porque eso es DEMASIADO TRABAJO EN TAN POCO TIEMPO😢
Ummm we wouldn’t be able to park there. But thanks for the concern
That was awsum seeing the moose have not seen them since years ago when I went to see my father in qubec.
Oh they are amazing creatures
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful
Thank you so much for watching
That is an insane amount of snow
So much fun now to find a sled hill
I am just in love with your family
Not looking forward to this this winter. You guys handle it great. Always an adventure in Alaska
Always something unexpected!
I have (own our tanks as well) two 500 gallon tanks and one 1000 tank. They come to the house to fill. I filled it all in September or maybe August. I don't even want to talk about the price.....Wowsa......lol. Happy Almost Birthday!
Perfect!!!! Nooo don’t tell me the prices are beyond nuts
I have the snow now in Vermont!
Me too!!!
Oh my gosh, you guys need a bigger tractor....this could be a longggggg Winter.take cate family!
I know right you sound exactly like Aaron! It’s more now then all last winter!
Love watching your vlogs, Where we live is so different from your area, I out and about today running errands, it's a beautiful 68 degrees, Sunny sunny. We get a tad of snow every 4-5 years, maybe 😂
Sunshine and 65 is that not a song? I might visit someplace warm in a couple months
Awesome job Kody, not easy driving a huge truck in so much snow (while managing your over protective daddy and brother ;))
And it’s so true. Sometimes you have to trust the system and keeping your moment going but not going too fast
I’m sorry kodie is next to me and we both laughed out loud!
I’m in my 40s, live in northern climate (Ontario Canada), had my license since I was 16. I still get winter driving advice from my dad and uncle :P
Oh Kody looks beautiful. Sometimes you have to give VERY THOUROUGH instructions to the kids...🤣🤣🤣
Lol everyone gave her very thorough instructions!
Merry Christmas to you all.,🌲🎄❄️🌲🎄❄️🥰❤️
🎄☃️❄️
Be safe Modern Homestead Alaska fam.
Thank you! You too friend!
I thought it was funny that Aaron told her driving techniques, and then Caleb started instructing her also
Lol I was like trying to stay calm but I don’t like that amount of instruction but she took it like a champ.
Cool on birthdays. Mine was on the 14th.
Nice happy late birthday!
Arron I love your coffee cup Omgoodness I want one
lol thank you
