I watched it and binged watched so many of your shows. Your video channel is my #1 on my list. You both crack me up. I love Tina. She is my spirit animal 😂 😂 I love the deep voice she makes and how you both can laugh at each other but yet with each other at the same time. You crack me up. And the hubby takes it like a champ for Tina…. 😂 Parker really is a smart well rounded lil guy. He gets the love and comforts of learning from mom (and dad too) while he gets the life experiences from dad…. Well ya know what? He gets them all from you both. You both are just awesome. I pray that by this time next year we have a bun in the oven. I know I had an awful time getting pregnant and it was when I gave up and stopped thinking about it all the time and day in and day out is when I got knocked up (that’s what my dad always called it 😂 😂) may he RIP. He’s say Jenny ran off and got herself knocked up….as he would call everyone happy as could be bc I was finally pregnant. He was a funny man. (My name is Jenny by the way) I’m sure you won’t remember but it’s cool. I will let it slide a few times…. 😂 Loki it take care and hope that you had a blessed happy Thanksgiving! And I can’t wait til see what y’all done for Christmas. I was missing my son this holiday season. He joined the Navy and and won’t be able to see him until Christmas. My son will be going down for a visit and what he don’t know is that all his brothers and sisters and me and his step dad (my boys dad passed away from cancer a few years ago) I had my girls with my husband. Ok. Well I’m done. Like I said I know you won’t remember so I will end my chapter book here 😂
I’ve also been binge watching your videos. 😊 I love when you were baby talking to Parker 😂 and told the person to mind her biz. LoL good for you! 👏🏼👏🏼
I love watching Gunner and Bailey playing and looking so sweet laying upside down. They are the sweetest!!
I had to rehome my German Shepherd 😢 💔 to be able to care for my elderly mother who is in late stage Alzheimer’s. The good news is my son took her. She is 6 hours from me up in the mountains playing in the snow.
One day I will get my sweet Koko back.
Your response to the lady about the "BABY TALK" was priceless. (cracked me up) You don't mess with a momma bear - I completely agree with you. Love your channel. To Momma and Pappa Bear - thank you for your service.
Love this there is nothing wrong with you talk to your son like that it's cute.
I agree! That’s your child , I’m super happy you made it to Alaska, I watch the whole time couldn’t wait for this video ❤️
Exactly what i would say about the "Baby Talk"! But my english is not so good bcs i had french in school. I saw this part of your video x times bcs your mime makes me cry 😂
And Joe is a hard-working guy and did a good job under the cabin! 👍🏻 You guys look so happy there and thats the only thing whats counting! JTPBG, enjoy your dream ! Greets from germany 👏🏻
I Loved that part also. L.O.L. I'm a newbie here.
love the channel.
Wearing a mask when in the public is a prudent thing to do considering all the people that have gotten so sick and even died.
What a beautiful place and family you deserve this peace and happiness after all you have done for our country thank you from another retired military family ❤
Thank you and Thank you for your service!
Stress is a problem! My neck reacts to stress, goes out every time! You may think you can handle stress and that you are not under stress, but think about what you have been through. Preparing to move, packing, getting rid of what you don't want and selling your house. Driving across country, sitting at the Canadian boarder for how many hours? You have definitely been under stress and everyone reacts differently. You finally arrived at your new home and get settled in. However, you can now unwind. Rub your neck down at bedtime ( bio- freeze or something similar), drink some sleepy time tea and give calm a chance! I am praying for you and healing for your neck. I mean that literally, so know that God heals!
Just started watching your trip it looks great I’m glad you finally settled but I wanted to tell you that I thought it would be a good idea to go to a good chiropractor I think you have a pinched nerve and a good chiropractor will x-ray you and won’t touch you if there’s anything medically wrong with you I go to one on a regular basis and I am 91 years old and I have bulging discs but it doesn’t bother it when I get adjusted. And tell Joe not to be swinging his arm like that throwing logs I did that with bamboo when I was 40 years old throwing long spares of bamboo over an 8 foot fence about 40 times and I really racked up my shoulder and I did it just recently cutting up long pieces of bamboo to smaller pieces and throwing them just 4 feet away and I racked up my shoulder again but when I went to the chiropractor he adjusted my back and my shoulder was fine the next day so just wanted to let you know that is another choice to see about your neck I don’t know how else to get in touch with you I don’t know what your email is so I hope you’re fine with the problem is

Not enough love in the world. You go Momma. One day Parker will pay it forward and you will have a deep sense of satisfaction. Love those little boy angels😇❤️
"Please don't tell me what to do with my children...thank you. Have a nice day." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sooo much like me, I'm rolling. I've been really excited to see this video! Things are coming along nicely. I couldn't be happier for y'all. You both look relaxed! Freedom looks amazing on you!!
Thank you! 😊
We lived in Alaska for 4 glorious years thanks to Uncle Sam. Best 4 years of our 22 years of service. Broke my heart to leave. We would have stayed, however, we had 4 sets of elder parents who needed our help. Out of the 7, only 3 are left, one being 95 years old. I am living my Alaskan dream through you and your family. I don’t think our dream of going back to Alaska is in the cards for us (we are in our late 60’s now). It has been a pleasure caring for our aging parents, however, that adventure part of us is still there. Thank you for taking the time to film so we can dream of ALASKA!!!❤ love from Northern Idaho ❤
Oh I just LOVE this life for you. For Parker, for the dogs. They all just look like they are loving life!! Happy for you all!
Looking forward to seeing you take an unfinished cabin and developing it into a homestead. Beautiful property! The sledding hill is great!
Yay you can post! You both look more & more relaxed. Your property look SO peaceful and gorgeous! Many prayers for peace, bounty and happiness ! God bless you all!
Joe ,you have the best sense of humour ever ! Absolutely love that! May I suggest you get a dehydrator?? Your house is so warm and cozy and just absolutely wonderful ! So glad your all settled in and enjoying such a wonderful life ❤️! The 4 legged boys are sure enjoying their life aren't they!! God bless you guys! PS watch out for moose they look calm and friendly but they really are quite a dangerous animal ! I lived in Montana and we had a white German Shepard ,we were in the mountains cutting wood and looked up and this moose was chasing our dog down the road ,the moose chased her about a mile down the road !! Lol 😂 so stay safe and god bless your whole family !
Thank you! 😊
We do have a dehydrator. Should be getting it from the movers on the 21st.
As for the moose, when I first reported to Fort Wainwright AK that was a required safety class we had to take as a new Alaskan. All about how dangerous moose are. They actually showed us a video of a college student get stomped. Pretty crazy.
(Joe)
We just spent time in Fairbanks and went to Denali. We loved it. Do all this while your young. These seasons of life pass so quickly. You enjoy your son and cuddle by the fire. Keep these videos coming!
Congratulations on getting settled in!! You guys look like you’re having so much fun and I am SO impressed with how cozy the cabin looks after such a short time! I thought I had mad decorating skills, but Tina, you take it next level. I truly hope that your neck heals soon and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your lives with us! ❤️
You guys awesome. Welcome to Alaska home sweet home !
Thank you! 😊
The expression on Joe’s face when he and Parker were installing the clothes rack in the loft - it spoke a million happy and contented things! Tina, you have made the cabin look so cozy and it’s impressive to see the pieces you’ve picked and how well it all fits together! Love how involved Gunner and B are in everything, from the sledding to going into the crawlspace ahead of Joe - just precious. Parker did an excellent job of holding his .22 steady during target practice, not surprising he already got his first grouse. Did he like the taste? How did you prepare it for him? As I get closer to living my own dream in Alaska, watching your family inspires me and fills my heart with joy. Thank you so much for sharing the journey. Thank you both for your service to our country, your faith, and your candor. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you! 😊
I love your channel. You handle rude bossy people so well. Joe is a great guy. Thank you both for your service. I pray for peace and joy in your adorable little cabin.
I just started watching y’all’s channel yesterday. I am so impressed with y’all and happy to see y’all succeed! As someone who has spent the last 10 years in the Army, I thoroughly enjoy seeing others who have served live out their dreams. Keep making videos and disregard the aspersions others may cast upon you. Y’all are doing GREAT! -Paul
Thank you for your service Paul!
Everything looks AWESOME!!! Everyone looks so happy!!! BTW, love the “PLEDGE” wall decor!!!
Thank you! 😊
Don’t listen to jealous people. You keep on baby talking as long as Parker will allow it😊. You guys are living the life we all would like to have
Tina, I absolutely love your straight to the point approach and your straight forwardness particularly about how you dealt with the lady about the baby talk!! I don't know why people give themselves that right to tell people or criticize them how to run their affairs.
I laughed so hard at the baby talk, I used to tell my sons ( all 6 of them) that my job as a mom was to embarrass them in public, baby talk, singing etc. my baby is now 24 and in the Army. He told me the other day that I just made him tougher and basic was a piece of cake. 😅
😂 😂
I’m so glad you all made it. ❤ We live in Alaska, too (here with the Army). We are praying The Lord will make a way for us to stay long term. It’s a dream here. We aspire to live this homestead life, as well. I hope you find a wonderful, local church. There are some good ones here who teach Biblical truth. Alaska is also a great homeschooling state. Blessings and peace!
As beautiful as your property is I wouldn't put up curtains. Your cabin is just perfect cozy and decorated nicely. So now the adventure begins. Peace love happiness
Thank you
Gunner and Bradley when you asked them to sit! Then chased you! 😂
I just love watching them!!!!
😂 little punks!
I want to be in Alaska so bad! Just a few more years. Love your cabin. Special times for sure. You are making great memories. 🥰
Love love your cabin ... so cozy! May our Lord always reign in your home and in your lives and keep evil away! Love and blessings from South Carolina ❤️ 🙏
🇦🇺I loved the baby talk.🤣😂My kids would not have tolerated it from me but my grandchildren they are 12, 14 and nearly 18 have no choice. It’s a grandma thing.
The cabin is looking awesome. It's so pretty there. I hope your 1st holiday season is the best. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
Thank you! 😊
Giving Thanks before dinner.... I adore you guys... Such a happy family... I pledge allegiance to the flag... Be safe! Thank You again for your service.... YOU GUYS DESERVE THIS!
I lol at your comment about the lady that told you not to baby talk your son. There are so many people online that feel they can hide behind their computer screen and tell others how to act or feel and live their lives. I love that you called her out. you were probably nicer than I would’ve been although I know you can’t really say exactly what you want when you’re on CZcams. I just discovered your channel today and have loved watching your videos. I order my wine from dry farm too! You are so so blessed. Praying that all goes well in your new home and it’s everything that you need and want it to be. ❤️🙏🏻😅
I had to get my first comment in before I even watched your video. Note that I’ve watched it I have to say that I’m soooo jealous. The fact that you have already accomplished as much as you have (while making time to think about us) is a testament to your work ethics. The way you and Joe take so much time to include P in your daily activities is wonderful. Take care of your neck gf. You don’t want to be stuck in the couch while all the boys have fun. Gods blessings until your next video. I watch for them daily and live vicariously through you. ❤❤
Aloha from Hawaii!!
I used to live in an off grid cabin when I was a
Kid!! I NEVER got it out of my blood!!
I live on an OFF GRIS 43’ Sail boat. A racer. She won many races in her day. She is a 43’ Farr 1977 from New Zealand!
I LOVE OFF GRID LIVING!!!
LOVE THE SHOW AND THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THE PIONEERS IN OFF GRID!!
And THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE!!! YOU DEAERVE IT!!
I served with my other half in Germany and USA from 1978 to 1983 then we got out.
LOVED GERMANY!!🎉
Thank you so much!😊
You guys make me so happy. Just watching you all share your lives with us. I pray that things continue to go well for you.
I was so excited to see this video. Looks like you all have settled in nicely. I bet insulating under the cabin and putting the vapor barrier down has helped a lot. I love snow too and I am living vicariously they you all. It's just beautiful there! Thank you for such a great video!
Everybody looks like they are adjusting well, including your puppers.
I know I’ve said it already, but you guys have such a beautiful life. As the dross of lower 48 life burns off, ordering your footsteps with intentionality as The Father leads will keep that beautiful life overflowing. I’m thankful and excited to watch you thrive!
I only had one child and seeing Parker play so much by himself and you and Joe doing it with him is really neat. One story is his daddy pulled him down our slopped drive until the sled took off, but he couldn't turn the handles on the sled and went right into our pickup bumper and hit his head. So I told him I would finish the dishes and come help him took 5 min maybe. So I come down the drive going very fast and tried turning the handles and they wouldn't turn and I too went right into the truck bumper. "I SAW STARS I HIT SO HARD LOL" I got up and my 5 year old say see mommy the handles don't work. I just said hush! LOL. As you know with your daughter how fast they grow! Your interacting with Parker is beautiful! I am glad you don't let negative comments affect you!
I still baby talk my boys sometimes and they are almost 30, almost 28 and almost 26. The way you addressed it was hilarious!!!🤣😂
Your sledding was epic...lol
I redo furniture as well!! I am so happy for yall and I love your cabin!!! My best friend lives in Kachacan(sp)she loves it.
Hi Watson family me and my husband live in Hartlepool England.we both love your channel.we watch your episodes all the time.i watch your episodes a few times I am watching the first week in Alaska now while I am typing.even although I am upto date on your videos.i find watching your episodes so relaxing.take care Watson family .❤
Thanks so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy them! ❤️❤️
Been waiting patiently for this video! Glad you are all settling in, Parker and the dogs playing together in the snow grabbed me in the feels.😍
Suggestions:
add a solar battery powered light above the front gate (power would be coming from the battery box mounted on one of the fence posts), ask your husband about the idea of posting some wireless battery powered camera's around the cabin (it is your property but there is wild life around).. so would be ideal to see what is coming and what is going.. dogs work.. but with the cameras its recorded security. add some bird feeders by your windows... more the merrier company... lastly get another rocking chair for your husband to sit by the wood stove.
Your new home and property look so beautiful. I can't believe that you've only been there a week and your cabin is so organized it looks like you've been there for months. What a wonderful experience and after working hard for so many years I am so happy for your family to have time for whatever you want.
Edit: I wanted to add that even hunting on your own property I would really think about Parker and his Dad being safe. I don't know if it's required but I would add some hunters orange just to be safe.
This is Shirley Hare. i just wanted to tell you how much I love your channel. I think your home is so precious. It really looks like a farm home but with a more class. You do have some great furniture. I also love telling the people not to tell you how to raise your son. That was really cute. I really like your channel and all it's about. Be blessed and I send the love of Jesus to you. You are in my prayers.
How amazing! Home sweet home! Thank you both for you service to our country! ❤
What an experience for Parker and your family! With love from Southern Cali 🦌🌳
Thank you! 😊
You are well prepared for this dream life and lucky you can enjoy many years of your early “retirement”. Alaska is beautiful.
Well another amazing video! I love seeing you pray before meals, just like my family does. I love seeing how respectful Parker is, like my 2 adult children are to me. Life is amazing and resilient no matter what is going on around us. Jesus is in control and we just have to hang on to him, just like you do! Can't wait till the next video! Take care!
I'm so happy for what I'm seeing on camera!!!!!
I'm so happy when I come across you guys.It's so nice to watch your lives and share with us thank you so much. So glad your home and things are coming together. You all are so funny at times. Sorry life is so stressful at times. Good blessings Roberta from Northern California Sacramento Valley. We are by the Beale Air Force Base.
The cabin is now a home. You can feel the warmth and comfort of it. Thank you for sharing y’alls beautiful snow globe.
Great job with the crawl space Mr Joe.
Ms Tina and P should start a snowman decorating business so stinking adorable.
Ps team chicken coop(sorry Joe)❤
Happy for you all and welcome home! What a fun adventure. I moved up in 2000 and it’s the best decision I ever made!
Good job with the cabin Joe! I am retired AF and the Wife and I spent 6 years in AK assigned to Elmendorf AFB where I flew F-15C’s. I am ready to move back but the Wife didn’t handle the darkness well. We are in rural NM working on our homestead in the mountains. Given the crazy state of our nation, you are in a good place.
Thank you for your service Sir! We just drove by Elmendorf yesterday. Good luck on your homestead!(Joe)
You all look SOOOOOOO happy the dogs are amazing. So glad you arrived safely, and yes your response to that lady was priceless. We are all our own people. You have a lovely little family. God Bless y ou all. Watching from the UK x
Thank you! 😊
Finally getting a chance to watch this. Oh my goodness you guys, I am in tears of joy watching you reach freedom. Parker won't know how lucky he is to grow up in AK til he's older I'm sure.
The cabin looks like such a cozy home.
Ya all served our country. For an extended time. Your on vacation for the rest of lives. You earned it, so enjoy it. The whole plan was awesome and again your family earned it ENJOY.
Thank you!♥️
Incredible! A piece of heaven. So good to see you precious peeps settling in. Lovely tiny home..
Would love to live off grid and have cold snowy winters but where we live winter is pretty mild. Love how you are bringing up Parker people don't like it they don't have to watch you and Joe I'm totally agree with you about the scales.
You look like you have come home. Love to you all from NZ
Great to see you and your family made it home! I love Alaska ❤
Simple Living Alaska
@SimpleLivingAlaska should make friends with them
Great video Tina. You’ve done so much already you and Joe it looks beautiful. Good job in the crawlspace under your house Joe you’re such a hard worker. Can’t wait to see what you do this summer. God bless and be careful ❤
Amazing experience my friends, very beautiful nature, thanx for sharing and greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Looks like everyone is enjoying beautiful Alaska. So glad that you made it safely. Happy settling in. 🥰♥️🥰
I am so envious! Im75 so no way I could do what y’all are doing! Go for all the experiences you can cram into however long you are there. My mind is in my 40s but not my body so it goes by fast! Enjoy and God Bless🙏
Lol!!! Your response to the lady telling you to stop talking to P, like that was hilarious. It is so nice to see all three of you smiling and enjoying yourselves. Bradley and Gunner seem to be enjoying themselves as well. They are adorable. They may end up needing some little doggie jackets and booties. Just so happy for y'all!
So glad to see you all again and hoping Parker is loving the snow challenges maybe build him a igloo with all the snow. But Joe did a fantastic job under the house with insulation. But your right the older we are to longer it takes for us to heal, but am sure you will get your way with Joe an he will comfort you too.
So with that being said Hope you get all your stuff still to arrive and hopefully you will get everything when it comes time to get it all. Hope to catch you again on your next Vlog that you put out.
God Bless You all in your New Home
I'm so happy for your family. Thank you for your service!!
Thank you! 😊
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the puppy on his back grinning as he slept. My dogs do the same thing. Hilarious 😂
So glad everything is coming together for you.
Next time you’re in town you may want to grab a Jolly Ball toy for your pups. They’re much easier to find in the woods, especially if they’re left outside and it snows. My big dog loves to run with his in or out of the house here in AK.
Just look that up, we will definitely have to get one.
Thank you! 😊
Life certainly is about being adaptable and prioritizing...your family definitely has the ability to do just that! Love your creative solutions! Watching y'all adjust to your new exciting changes and challenges is truly entertaining. Stay warm and safe...keep enjoying your new home. God bless your family.
Awwww so happy you guys made it I love it 😀 and thank you both for your service ❤️ 🙏🏼
Thank you! 😊
Good for you about the baby talk...you tell those nay sayers. I love the way you tease Joe...so nice to see the friendly banter.
So happy you are settling in to your forever home. Love Joe response to the chicken coop.
Just found you, love you already! My man is ex Army (19 years) - we're in early retirement now, NOT fancy, we're mostly broke but we're free and happy. Living on the coast, on our little farmstead.
Your dogs are adorable and so funny, our husky is a lot like them, full of personality.
Love to you and your family and thank you for your service, the world needs patriots everywhere.
From my house to yours, love from Australia.
Your response to the “baby talk” comment had be dying!!! 😂😂😂😂. So happy for y’all in this life changing move! Currently saving to be able to do the same off grid!
Good luck to you on your dream! 😊
In my opinion, your baby talk to Parker will remain in his mind as good times for the rest of his life. Parker is in a land that will make him the man you and Joe hope he will be.
Congratulations! Fantastic to see you living your dreams 😃 love from Norway
Thank you Norway! 😊
Know exactly what you mean about your kids. People have a fit about how my children and I talk to each other and the way we act. So love you and your family.so keep up the way you roll .
Yay !!!! You were able to post a video 👏🏻 Love what you’ve done with the cabin reminds me of being on vacation so adorable.
The dogs look like they’re loving life in Alaska too.
Parker is such a great kid and I love his smile
Joe has the perfect I’m retired look going on
And Tina, always as beautiful as ever and looks soooo happy
God Bless you all and keep posting videos
Your dog's hair is short coats to wear. You all are so blessed.Im so happy for all of you, been following for a while..I totally enjoy your videos...God Bless
The cabin is perfect, the land is perfect, the dogs are perfect, yall are all perfect. I'm glad to see Joe getting more comfortable with the camera. :-) Thanks for posting.
It is wonderful that you all are getting comfortable and enjoying yourselves.
I love watching how much the dogs & Parker are enjoying the snow! So much potential there for you & your enjoyment ♥️
So happy for you guy’s ! Realy, my heart is full for you guy’s … You guy’s did an awesome job for your beautiful house … Love you guy’s and enjoy your beautiful family ❤
I love the life you’re living❤️. Parker and the dogs look like they are having so much fun!🥰 I think you guys are raising a great son! There is always some ignorant Karen’s that have to put their pennies worth of nonsense into the mix. I know you are anxious for chickens but everything will come together in good time.Great job Joe, I hate spiders, and getting under the house( which is back breaking) you should be commended for fighting off those creepy creatures down there😁.The house is really looking homey🥰. I wanted to tell you that I have problems with my neck too, I constantly have my shoulders tensed up and all the tension stays in my neck. I actually had an episode at my 2nd sons baby shower, it was so bad I couldn’t even open my mouth all the way. I love getting my neck adjusted, noisy but feels so much better! I need to get in for some adjustments.Doctor alway says that I’ve lost the curve in my neck and that it’s tilted forward. Well I’ve babbled on long enough. You all look so happy and I am thrilled that you guys are living your dream. Sending you love from Washington State. Take care and stay warm
You are living a American dream and best of all it's your dream as a family. Your place looks so cozy. Take Care Family 🤗🌟🙏
Your cabin looks so good!! You're all really doing a big job quickly!! The vapor barrier and insulation was really a big job,but very necessary and will make a world of difference!! Will be so nice to get all your stuff collected that has come in!! Wow to think back at all that's had to be done since you were at the cabin last!! And how different it looked them compared to now!! So glad for you it's done!! No doubt you all are thoroughly enjoying it!!
You guys made it! Thank you all for your service. Now you all can enjoy your retirement, just remember every day is Saturday except Sunday. You work some and you play some, well after you get settled! How do the puppies like Alaska? Looking forward to the next video.
Just found your channel. What a beautiful little family you are starting your new journey in your cozy cabin in Alaska. Many blessing to you and can’t wait to watch your episodes. PS. Thank you greatly for your service!!❤️🇺🇸
Welcome to our channel Lori! Thanks for subscribing!🤍
Welcome to Alaska. No one likes doing insulation especially in a crawl space in winter. About 20 years ago we pulled the same stunt. Three kids, two dogs, one wife. It was a great decision and a wonderful adventure. Enjoying your narrative and remembering our adventure.
I've been to Alaska 3 times and loved everything about it. Have you seen any bears on your property yet? You and your family have a beautiful home. Enjoy your new chapter.
No bears yet, just moose and dogs! 😂
Looks like your furbabies have adjusted to the cold pretty good 😍
What a FUN way to start this video withall of you sledding! This is my second time to watch this video. The first time I just enjoyed it!! It is sooooo wonderful to see the dogs able to be free - playing in the snow - then exhausted laying by the fire! Everything is looking so cozy - you are such a great decorator Tina! Joe I love your beard - looks great on you and I bet it's helping keep you warm! That is quite a massive solar panel! The beauty all around is so beautiful! THANK YOU tina for sharing it with us! What happened to all the wood you worked so hard to pile under the cabin the week you were here earlier? I'm sure it all is still surreal Tina - not to have to answer to anybody!!! video of the moose was so cool! Maybe when you are in Anchorage you could treat yourself to a massage! Tina you were so funny going sledding!
We’re still using that wood!🤍
Thank you for sharing life’s journey with your family
I am so happy for you guys! Love seeing Joe's sense of humour coming out... retirement is agreeing with you. :) Wishing you many years of happiness in your new home.

My husband cut into the wall and framed in a CD shelf made out of plywood and 1x4’s that’s about 5’ x 7’ and has 6 shelves and holds over 1000 CD’s 😁 I framed it with molding and we stained it. I love it. I think your pallet wine rack is awesome!
Loooove the long vlog! Is Parker homeschooled or is there a school nearby for him to attend? Dogs looks like they’re having so much fun. Watch their paws and consider trying some good paw balm if they start looking rough. I had to use it when I lived in a wintery area before
Parker is homeschooled. He has been since 1st grade. 😊 Thanks for watching!
