Just in case you were wondering, that big red bird in the feeder is a Pine Grosbeak. Also shown was the Black Capped Chickadee & the Nut Hatch! We have so many beautiful birds here in Alaska to enjoy! Thanks for joining us for another frosty VLOG!😘
Love the footage on these little birdies'. God's plan is awesome Ms Tina. Happy birthday Joe.
Happy birthday Jo
My cat loves the birds clips 🦅 sit watches
Happy New Year!
Happy new year
Happy New Year! Thank you for your channel, it’s wonderful to know there’s good quality content for entertainment to watch without concerns. ❤️😁
Happy birthday Joe. Your channel blesses me. Thank you that you all are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
Dang, you Alaskans need to add "Professional Troubleshooters" to your resume. There seem to be so many adaptations to living off grid in an extreme climate. Seriously, it takes a certain kind of resilient mindset and a wide range of skills to figure out how to survive and thrive there.
Hi Tina, You are NOT mean!!!! You just like a clean home. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't want that in my house either. I know that if Rusty still sprays you will make sure he goes to a good home. I love the bird feeder shots. Nothing is better than God's creation😊 Take care!!!💜❤️💖🥰
Happy Birthday Joe!!!! May the Lord protect, guide you and Bless you today and always.
Happy 43rd Birthday Joe 🌹🌼❤🎂🎁🎀🎊🎈🎉
I'm glad you're keeping the cats inside...I'm sorry that people suck...
sweet Asher, love him. Makes me sick to my stomach at some people but Asher survived! Woo hoo for him and you.
🎊 🎉🎂🍾HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 JOE Enjoy & many many more….
WOW, You guys have unbelievable grit and stamina hauling that wood in those low temps! Impressive!
Hi from Australia, I honestly don't think I could live in a cold place like where you life, at the moment in the North East coast of Queensland Australia where we live it is to the other extreme, stinking humid hot 35 degrees. We do what we have to do outside, keep hydrated and back in the air-conditioning. I am 68 my husband I'd 75 we live on 20 aches, always plenty to do, we have heat waves at the moment so outside activities are limited..my grandson is a plumber, I feel for me when he has to work on roofing and repairs..sending blessings 🙌 I love you guys, you make my day. Thank you x
Your cabin looks so cozy and beautiful! You and Joe are doing a fantastic job. I am praying the Rusty spraying problem is stopped in Jesus name and just fresh smells remain in your beautiful home. Have a very blessed and wonderful New Year’s Eve and all your needs and dreams for 2024 are met with Jesus sweet love and guidance. Love you all, Cindy
Thank you so much!❤️❤️
I feel I don’t say it enough, Joe everyone needs a Joe! You rock! Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎈🎉🎂
Happy Birthday Joe
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE! You are such a hard worker.
Not just the vet bill, but the emotional stress that it caused, is also a reason you have to keep them inside. Sad truth. Hope Asher continues to do well. And hoping Rusty does better. ❤
I am drawing up plans to build wood shed with my husband similar to the one you made! We need one bad and I convinced him we can do it! God Bless you and your entire family!
You can do it!! Good luck friend & Happy New Year!🎊
HI WATSON FAMILY Tell Joe that I think my forties were some of my best years. I enjoyed your snowshoe experience immensely'. I have been snowshoeing in the bush on my trapline, etc. for over 50 years and I still face plant now and then. I think it is part of the ambience! Tina thank you for your Christian comments at the beginning. I have followed Jesus for 51 years and look forward to meeting Him in the Future. Merry Christmas and give the boys a hug for me. Dave in North Pole
Hi Dave! Wow, so glad to hear that I’m not the only one that eats snow sometimes in the snowshoes!🤣 Happy New Year friend!🎊
So happy to see Parker feeling better! Both boys are just adorable! Roast looks yummy.
Behave Rusty!
I wanted to thank you for your comments about the birds. Many people are living through hard things right now. God really used your vlog today to touch my broken heart. Our daughter was so excited to be expecting their 7th child. This pregnancy was an answer to prayer they had given up on. They learned this is finally the little girl they dreamed & prayed for only to find she shows markers for Downs S.. We are now in the difficult waiting time, after a test that will confirm whether or not she does have Down Syndrome. Oh how joy turns to sorrow in an instant. (This child is loved no matter what!) Still, imagining all they may be facing is showing I am not as mature in Christ as I thought. This is a beautiful family who loves the Lord. My confessions of selfish thoughts, are as many as my prayers for them. I feel such guilt for wanting to wish this away from my daughter, but I know you are right. God cares for us much much more than the birds He also loves & cares for. It feels weird putting my broken thoughts here but I hope it encourages someone else struggling this way.
In MN, on the farm, we've OFTEN dealt with frozen pipes. You took care the problem fast! Farmers & Homesteaders learn to think fast. So glad you did not have busted pipes! Tina, when we did winter chores on our Dairy farm, my eyelashes often froze together. I remember pounding on the Tractor's fuel tank, because the diesel had jelled up. THAAT is something from our younger years I'd rather not relive, like fixing exhaust fans on our pit barns in a blizzard, at midnight....I can identify with things you are sharing on the vlog.
Hey, Happy Birthday Joe! (You're the same age as our Kids!) Our daughter just turned 44. God bless you all with good health, and many wonderful memories in 2024. I enjoy watching your channel very much. My family homesteaded in Idaho when I was a young child. I have many memories from those years.
Love and Prayers to all of you & God will touch and help you no matter what the out come. Thank you for sharing such a difficult personal story. And yes it touched me deeply. thank you Cindy
Thankyou for sharing your story. It isn’t you being selfish wanting an easier path for your daughter. I’m quite sure, if she's anything like her momma bear, she will embrace what God chooses for her. With you supporting each other, you will find an easier path no matter what the outcome, because you are strong together! Much love, all the best xox
Aw friend! I don’t think you’re selfish at all. I think you’re thinking & feeling what ANY one of us would! So plz be easy on yourself. With life, we always adapt & overcome right? God might be giving yall a special child for a reason.🤍🤍 Hang in there…and also, Drs are often wrong. Just pray about it. Either way, it will be a beautiful baby because God created her/him.❤️❤️
Thank you.@@tanyacouchman6534
Thank you@@angie14124
TIna, l am still laughing at you getting tangled in the rope. 😂😂😊😊
Happens to me every time!🤣
I did laugh to because it would happen to me
Fun winter adventures in Alaska!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🙏🙏🙏⛄️⛄️🥳❄️❄️❄️⛄️⛄️⛄️🇨🇦
Thank you for another awesome winter wonderland video guys! Happy birthday Joe. Prayers and blessings for you all.
Happy Birthday Day Joe🎂🎊🎉. The new wall in the cabin really looks good and I love what you did with the kitchen ceiling. Poor Joe out in the cold with frozen pipes🥴. It’s so pretty with all the snow and Tina we still have no snow yet just green grass and not real cold, unreal for this time of year. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Ron! Still gotta get molding up & finishing touches, but we’re getting there!☺️
Happy Birthday " Do it all"" Joe! Steller job raising the family and so glad you are true Alaskans...strive to succeed.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Joe!!🎂🎈🎉 Thank you all for your beautiful card! I love seeing your birds. I had to take my bird feeders down because the squirrels were tearing them up even though they were supposed to be squirrel proof. Also my miniature schnauzer kept yapping at the squirrels and driving me crazy. Stay warm. I love, love your videos. ❤
Such pretty winter scenes!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶
🙏🙏🙏🏡 ❄️ ⛄️ ❄️ 🇨🇦
This has been a hard Christmas because I lost my mom on December 16,2023. Happy Birthday Joe! Oh I whole heartedly agree with the NO cat spraying. I’ve had a cat that continuously kept spraying. I’m so glad that Asher is better.
So sorry Denise....may God guard your heart and give you peace.
Bigggg HUGGGGS Denise!!
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss, may your heart find peace soon. Big hug to you from Argentina.
Heartfelt condolences Denise on your loss.🙏
So sorry for your loss. May God bless you.
Happy Birthday to Joe. The hardest working man I’ve ever seen🥰👍💪
He truly is...love how handy he is for Tina and the boys....he's such a good man. Tina is a very lucky woman!! 🎉❤
Happy Birthday Joe🎉Hope your day was fabulous!
3am in Nevada. About 45 degrees. Can’t sleep. Great to have a new video! I’m hurting watching Joe under the cabin and you helping him with the firewood. OMG..so COLD❄️❄️ I’m praying for Asher & Rusty🐈⬛🐈My male cat (lived to be 19) never sprayed before or after he was neutered. Bet that roast really hit the spot. Love to you all🤎
Wow 19? Thats a long time, that’s awesome!☺️
in 30 years you will look back and remember these were the best days of your lives. Happy New Year.
We love your content and those funny faces. At 70 years old I cut firewood all my life and I cut the way Joe does. Until 4 years ago when I learned how to sharpen a chain and stand up to cut firewood. My back does not take a beaten and I use less gas in the chainsaw to do the same amount of work. And Yes I have the same chainsaw as I had back in the 70's. Homelite super xl. The man that taught me 4 years ago is "Buckin Billy Ray" he has great video's own sharpening and standing up to buck firewood. I'm just saying he help me and you guys are doing a great job. Love the channel.
I just love how there is so much snow and Joe has on shorts.
Right?! I was like you do realize the title of our video says -23?!🤣🤣
Sometimes I wish there was a LOVE button. Love your videos, they are excellent and sweet. Thank you :)
Aw thank you!❤️❤️
Can always count on Tina for a chuckle at the end of the video (bloopers)! So cold there 🥶 Brrrr! Love ya Watson family!
Yep she never fails. I think thats why I watch, lol.
The lamb roast was lookin yummy. We have a cat that looks just like rusty and we had him fixed as well. He never sprayed after his procedure but he put on so much weight. He is now to fat to fit through his cat door!! LOL....During our Christmas diner with all the family here our xtra large cat that we call "red" got stuck halfway thru his cat door. As cats do he freaked out and panicked. Oh he got through alright but took the frame of the cat door in with him. LOL..So now he's running through the house with the cat door frame stuck around his mid section! Everyone was hysterically laughing...lol..It actually turned out to be another great Christmas memory. The cat (red) was just fine in the end no harm done and the cat door was repaired ...funny stuff..:))
Oh I would’ve loved to have seen that!!🤣🤣🐈
What a nice life you people are having, and Joe, he the man, hard worker that he is, you are so lucky Tina
That would put me in prison.. 😂 you guys crack me up.. Happy Birthday! And, thank you for that very much needed reminder of God's provision for us. I'm so thankful for His Mercy, Grace, and Forgiveness through His Son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ❤
Once an outdoor cat always he will cry all night 💙
They don’t cry at night anymore, just the first few days. They’ve gotten on a pretty good routine now.☺️
My boy cat hates staying in he cry’s all night and one of the kids end up letting him out in the middle of the night because he cries so much ❤️
Tina Joe, another beautiful video. We can't get enough. Always makes sooooo happy when a new video comes out ❤❤❤
Happy birthday/Feliz cumpleaños Joe! 🎉🎂#43!

BUT i have 3 more daughters and together they have 5 boys. Enjoy your soecial day and make awesome memories. You are a good msn Joe.God Bless.
😂, must be hard walking in those snow shoes. Love watching the birds collect the seeds, it’s beautiful to see them so close up like that and with the snow background. Asher is looking so much better now and happy enough.Enjoyed your video 😊❤ xx
Thank you so much for the out takes I was laughing so hard I was crying. 😂 Happy Birthday Joe!!🎉
Happy Birthday Joe .. I wish I was 43 again... Love seeing all the cards on the ceiling that's a great rest way to show them ... Wall and ceiling look great... Watching you guys pull that sled was an inspiration to stay indoors here at home... And I don't even have snow yet... Oh and Joe make a latch for that crawlspace door... Hoping Rusty doesnt spray anymore. Stay safe and warm and look forward to next video
TINA, YOU GO GIRL, YOU ARE A HARD WORKER ALSO. 😊

I gotta complain: your FABULOUS videos are too SHORT!
Wishing you a Happy Healthy New Year Tina, Joe, Parker, Kellen, Lexi, James, 🦮🦮🦮🐈🐈🐓🐏🐑‼️
LOL! Aw shucks.🤣 I like your kind of complaints!🤣🤣
Chickadees are my sisters favourite wild bird, they answer her back whenever she calls out to them.
My mom makes her own suet blocks of mixed bird seed for her feeders, hanging they from the lilac branches outside her kitchen window
Enjoyed your video today..... HEY JOE!!!!! Happy 43rd Birthday and many many more. Tina and Joe thank you for being so much fun to watch especially the ending of the video... Just love it!!!!
Our pleasure! Happy New Year!🎊😘
@@HomeFreeAlaska Happy New Year!!!!
It says so much about you guys for continuing to update on your Christmas cards.🥰
They’re ALL going in the mail today! I’m so excited! 😅 I felt so bad they were late!❤️❤️
We put light in our well pump. That new addition might add to coldness. You will find a way. My mom always said when you have a will you will find a way
Oh and happy birthday Joe 🎉
You all do more in a day than I do in a week. I got to step it up 😊. Happy New Year !!
Happy Birthday Joe!! Hope you had a very good Day.🎂🍨
Happy Birthday Joe Gid Bless you
Happy birthday 🥳 joe God love you your a great guy

We are God's biggest Sparrows and He knows everything about each of us. He wants joy and happiness for each one of us. Love your little birds and the information you shared. I enjoy watching your projects as you do them. That Christmas card display is awesome. You are an inspiration and you are the best fur baby parents. Best wishes from San Antonio,Texas.
Happy Birthday Joe!!!❤🎉❤🎉
I can’t wait until your house is done and your room is done. It’s gonna look beautiful. God bless you guys. Make a lot of precious memories. In that beautiful home. It’s all about the precious memories.
Definitely cold. I think I would probably fall all over the place if I tried to use snowshoes. Glad Asher is all healed up. Stay warm and enjoy your week off from school.
It looks like good times. Joe, happy birthday, sir. Hope Parker is all better. Kellen, nice work with the play doh. Stay warm.
Joe and Judy LeVeck
Happy birthday Mr.Joe!! Yes ma'am Jesus and God takes care of us always!! Happy New Year!! Stay safe and happy!!❤🎉🎉
Belated, Happy Birthday Joe!!! I hope you had an awesome and fun time!
Happy Birthday Joe! Your cake looked very yummy. I really liked learning about those little Chickadees, for the last few weeks our neighbours and us have had a very noisy bird visiting our backyards, its a little black and white bird that our family have always called Peewees and this one has been waking us up very early and continues to squark all day, thankfully we are going camping this week so we'll have some respite 😅 we hope you have a lovely New Year and that it warms up enough for Kellen and Parker to go sledding and snow boarding!
Happy Birthday, Joe. 🎉🎂
The Lord takes care of me and I had a very dark season of two hip replacement and deep sinus/brain surgery, sphenoid sinus.. You are my godly entertainment ! I appreciate that .❤ Happy New Year ..
Oh goodness Robyn!! I’m so glad you came through all of that ok!🤍🤍
Happy Birthday Joe! 🥳🎉🎂🙏🏽💜

HAPPY Birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈 Joe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE, DON'T WORK SO HARD IF YOU CAN HELP IT.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
The kids and I spend a solid 2 weeks when the snow melts and we get all of our wood. It’s really nice to not have to get out when it’s so cold , plus the snow makes it so much harder.
Yeah we don’t mind it tho. It’s a good work out & Joe & I love working together no matter the weather.☺️
Happy birthday Joe
