Great that Nevaeh still chooses to spend holidays with the family instead of going with her friends. Learning the importance of family at a young age is so important because those are the people who should be with you through thick and thin.

Oh my! That brief shot of the pup with his head out of the window was precious!

I instantly started crying with the shot of Eli and the puppy sitting with Kenji, both amazingly cool and sad. 😢

This puppy 🐶 is perfect addition to your family . Fits in like a glove . 😏

Seeing Jeremy run through the rain and thinking " no more tracking mud into everything". Everything looks great.

What a beautiful life you have created for your family. That mountain shot.......incredible. That darling lucky puppy Ludo...precious.....to come to such a wonderful family...to live in this great country...priceless. You are one fortunate family indeed.

Thank you for being a PROUD AMERICAN FAMILY! we celebrate the 4th here in the state where it all started!

love how everything is going!! its crazy how when those certain flowers appear for a split second, we all know its Kenji's spot!!

I have 6 sons. One by one they moved out. Now that hubs is retired and we live in our 4-ever home and are renovating and doing yard construction etc. ohhhhhh how I miss the muscles and height of my sons! It is looking great. What a wonderful place for your newly adult children to transition into.

Years, decades ago, had this short, blocky, kind of grissly older guy deliver a Sears refrigerator. Only about eight steps. By himself. He unboxed the fridge and literally carried it with a massive bear hug move. I was awe struck.

Yes you will! Amen to that! All Nations will have their version of the Constitution

The apartment is coming along great, love the pup. He’s definitely fitting into the family and the farm life.

Love seeing the progress on the apartment! Your new pup is fitting right in. I love how laid back he is!

Bubbles and puppies that’s adorable. The new kitchen is amazingly beautiful.

Ludo is just so damn cute!! Enjoy him as much as you can while he is little, because he`ll be full grown before you know it. Love the countertops in Gabby, and the place really looks amazing. We have been having thunderstorms every day for the past 4 days late at night. It has been a crazy heat wave up here with temps reaching +35c (93f) during the day and with no air conditioning, it's been uncomfortable and difficult to sleep...so the late-night thunderstorms have been a welcome cool down. Today is much cooler and sunny so I have to get outside and cut 6 acres of grass. Have a great week guys and as always, sending love from our acreage to yours.

Always love your videography! You should make the video at 4:31 of the horses and the mountains a photo! Absolutely beautiful!

God was smiling down on your family when he directed you to this wonderful puppy. How cool is your bikes vs horses rodeo? You are *Living the Good Life*

I just gotta say you all have the cutest supervisor and farm hand ever. I can't believe how fast your he is growing.

Your build of Gabby ❤! Puppy 🐶 , Ludo. Adorable. Kiddos are growing and coming into their own! And you Both an Inspiration. What we say in our family big hugs, From our Family to yours 🙋🏻‍♀️

Your videos fill my heart with Joy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Puppy is growing quickly! Such a good boy! I kind of had an Oh Gosh moment with him at fireworks but he handled everything so well.

Hey guys I noticed something with Eli during this video and thought I should report this to you. Twice in different scenes I noticed his left shoulder hung slightly lower than the right. This might be nothing but it could also be something like his spine developing a curve. Maybe you can check him out and see if you can see what I noticed. I promise I’m not being all over dramatic. Noticing stuff like this was apart of my job in rehab and residential trainer. I care.

So cute to see your puppy enjoying your celebration and his celebration for his first year of life. My puppy also went with us to celebrate Independence Day and she was wonderful she was never scared. She knew she was safe with her family .

Another awesome video. Nothing like a great day on the lake. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride.

My how times have changed. I grew up washing dishes and will never get used to dishwashers😊

Your home looks like a beautiful park. All the hard work is paying off. Thank you for sharing.

so now I just watch to see Ludo. haha Absolutely adorable!!! Renting a boat is the best thing ever, since owning one is like having a hole in the water you pour money into. I love renting pontoon boats for the day, so fun! The apartment is looking great! :)

What a satisfying feeling wrapping up the build.

OMG! Ludo is the cutest puppy in the world! He puts a smile on my face every week! The apartment is looking so good! Melissa, you are so good at picking things out! Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi guys. You still get frost in july. Time to build 1 or more 4 season greenhouses to avoid the headaches of loosing your crops. Look for a good design that you can adapt to your situation. Adapt and overcome.

Heute war es mein besonderes Erlebnis, Eure Berge zu sehen, so schroff und doch so majestätisch anzuschauen.........und so nahe. Wünsche Euch weiterhin viel Freude am Bau. Und nachträglich herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Nationalfeiertag.

Watching Ludo watch so intently as the kids do things & follow them is so precious. I'm so excited for y'all get the last things done in the addition.

Discombobulated is a perfect word

I have quartz countertops and have found the only thing that stains mine is curry. I was able to quickly remove the stain with a soft scrub; but it was scary at first. Now I'm very careful not to get any curry on it.

Thank you for taking me on your journey! Has been a wild ride. Life has different moments. Again, Thank You!

You gave it your all on the fridgemerator, but it was awesome you were able to get some reinforcements. Love watching the family dynamics in play, as it makes good Saturday morning television for so many. May God continue to bless the journey, and your family. Thank you my fellow believers in Christ.

Ludo ur just a burst of cuteness 🥰.Love the copper faucets looks good with the dark color as well. The fam is almost to the finish line...looking so good Melissa and Jeremy and ur playful antics 😀. ❤ blessings and love❤

I soooo enjoy your videos! The hard work as well as the laughing and family time. And a special puppy to make it complete again! He's getting so big and he's fun to watch!

Congrats on going over a half million subs!

Your family makes me smile bigly! That puppy fills my heart! ❤❤❤ He’s getting so big.

Another great episode ... I so enjoy viewing them. Your adventures, your family, your new puppy ... you give us a short break from reality and remind us of all the things that are good in this world.

Everything is looking so great! The pup is growing so fast!

We just completed the IDBDR. We were in Porthill on Saturday. Luckily missed all the weather.

Hiya, I am from the UK. We have just returned from Oregon after attending a family wedding. We were there for the 4th July and as a Brit we were surprised by how many USA citizens were all ready to party and celebrate the 4th July but didn't know what the celebration was for. When we told them it was Independence, they did not believe us. I feel sure that would have been taught in your schools??? I await your video every Saturday and very much enjoy your content. So far you are the only USA channel I follow that calls the 4th July by its correct title, Independence Day👋

Many Americans are lazy to learn and inattentive. It is taught in school what’s the reason of why July 4th is celebrated every year. It’s the same for the other holidays. I’m a naturalized citizen and I know why. It’s not just Americans. Many people around the world are quite ignorant of many things. Ask majority of them about social media and they’re experts on topics of mediocrity.

American history doesn’t seem important for schools anymore. Sad!

I spent many, many hours on Pend Oreille Lake. It's good to see the old girl again.........thanks.

Well done! The celebration looked perfect. Appreciate all that you share. The build feels like each of ours…..yet…..we only used our eyelid muscles to help support the journey 😂 Thanks for allowing us to see every step. Happy Belated Independence Day.

Just love your new "furbaby" He's such a good fit in your family! My back is aching for you guys trying to get that refrigerator up the stairs. What a busy life you have!

Good afternoon to a great family on the internet. I'm a retired otr driver and I've been in 42 of the lower 48 and I've driven the Canadian Hyw from British Columbia all the way to Nova Scotia. I really enjoy watching you guys on my 10 hour rest break. Be safe in climbing on those tall ladders. From a retired man that's 76 years old and enjoying retirement in my golden years

Heavy clouds, missing rain on my island back home ..’ your such a good homemaker making sure good food is in store for the family ..

Wow the addition is looking fabulous! The picture of Ludo hanging out the window just melts my heart! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful week!

Love this apartment. Can't wait to see how you decorate. I know it's gonna be awesome.

Wow Navaeh turning 18, where did the time go!

Gabby is looking great and I love the counter tops with the copper faucet that is perfect together. Ludo is growing so fast and exploring everything. Glad you got help to get the refrigerator upstairs and was able the enjoy the 4th of July on the water. Hope you all will have an awesome weekend and looking forward to the next video!!

Am I the only one who noticed the big black widow under the counter at 9:33 - or the huge bug on the counter at 10:01? The puppy is getting BIG! Loved the fireworks /ending. Bless myoumguys. ❤

I also thought that was a Black Widow-body shape.😱 I went back to see it several times to make sure. That's one arachnid I don't deal with. 😖

Good morning! Looks like your weather is as bad as ours. We had a snow storm in May, and lots of rain and wind all spring. Now we’re into the hot weather and more rain! It sure makes working on a house challenging. Have a great week! ☕️🇨🇦☕️

When we upgraded a few things appliance wise in the kitchen a few years ago, we went with a Samsung stove and microwave as well. Both are stainless steel and the stove has a flattop cooking surface as well. Momma is very pleased so far.

Another great episode! Making progress on Gabby and perfect ending to the video of you all having fun on the pontoon and enjoying the fireworks afterwards. God Bless America!

I have a composite sink in my kitchen, I love it! Everything looks so beautiful ❤

I lol with that shot of your pup with his fur and ears waving in the wind! Kind of like a commercial with the gals hair blowing in the wind advertising for a sports car!😅😅 Your family is inspiring to say the least! What you've accomplished so far in building your home is incredible but more importantly you're building memories not only for your family but for everyone watching! This is what God,family and fun will result in. Always keep smiling! You are incredible!! The world needs your example terribly!! Thank you for sharing! Simply amazing to watch!!

You two have done a fantastic job!! Everything looks so good!!

What a wonderful family and a great video!!! Congratulations on all of your successes!!

Ludo is such a cutie and a ham 😊 He definitely fits right in, and Gabby is looking good ❤️🇨🇦

Everything works itself out in the long run, it just doesn’t always happen when you want it to happen, that’s life. Be happy and great-full for all the blessings that you have, your family, home, health and most important your freedom. Take care, be safe kc

It took me a couple of weeks but now I have seen all your videos from start to end, it has been an amazing journey your family been through and I long to see what the future holds for all of you! I can say is that I am jealous of everything you guys has accomplished and all of you has been an amazing source of motivation for me the past weeks and given me strength to keep on fighting during the hard time me and my family currently goes through, I want to give you all my gratitude and ask you to keep on going with the amazing work, keep sharing it with the world so people like me can find the motivation to fight another day!

The copper faucet n countertops are beautiful!

I lived in Jackson, WY for 3 years. One year we had snow on July 4th. So I can believe you could see snow where you are!! 😁

I had a bunch of kids, and when I said a bunch I mean 14. My wife is a wonderfully Mom that delivered 12 of them we adopted 2. They are much like your family in that they hang together, play together, help, and love. According to my parent ratings you two are 11.9999 out of 12. Thank you.

Nice commercial but absolutely not necessary

What a lucky furball Ludo is: He got the best family to live with!

Also, have you thought about container gardening? It's basically a connex that can create 2.5 acres of growing space. It's hydroponic growing and is immune to pests and weather. This way you won't have to worry about frost?

May I suggest you a greenhouse for the garden? This would protect you from summer frosts and lengthen your growing season. ❤

What a special video!!!❤ Ludo is so sweet, funny and a cute fur ball! Getting so close on GABBY!! And what a great way to celebrate Independence Day-family together, food, on the lake, fireworks and a true appreciation for the real meaning of the day!!! ❤❤❤

GOOD TOO SEE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY 18TH, NEVEHA🎉! EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND GOD BLESS. 🇺🇲🙂👍

Good day ... Happy Dance!!

It looks like the pup handled the fireworks very well

Hi guys. Just wanted to say everything is looking fantastic. You guys are the best .

So much has been accomplished it’s amazing also I can’t believe your oldest is ready to be on his own soon. Kids grow up so fast.

All good , got to see puppers.
