Thank you Melissa for the Gospel message at the end! Hoping you and your family have a blessed Resurrection Sunday! 🥰✝

Congrats you guys rock and remember HE IS RISEN!!!

Kira is starting to lose that little girl look and is turning into a beautiful young lady. Love watching the youngest growing up and developing their personalities. I love the texture you are putting up on the walls. Smooth walls just seem so blah. Loved watching your beautiful home come together and am excited to see how the apt is going to look done.

Love Eli turning dookie into dollars! Smart boy!

We do not live like those without hope. He is risen!!

I love the sheep trying to play with the ball and the kids. Like all the animals, turkeys, deers, horses , dog, cats and rabbits. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amen❤️🙏❤️🕊️🙏🎉🦋❤️🙏🎁 he has risen hallelujah praise the Lord❤️🙏🕊️

Praising God for His son’s supreme sacrifice, and selfless gift of love. HE IS RISEN!

I just love the night-sky time-lapses. I could watch an entire video of just that.

You and Jeremy are Amazing workers and you never complain, you just get the job DONE! I love how Eli has got a job to make money. That is so important to teach your children responsibility. Well Done Mamma and Dad❤ . WIshing you a Happy Easter, Christ is Risen and aren't we Blessed.🙏❤🙏

Peaceful surroundings and the animals love it too. Glad you're finally getting the insulation covered up, will be much healthier for all of you. HAPPY EASTER to you all , stay blessed. Fred.

Hello dears, I'm from Romania - Europe, I've been following you for some time... I admired the epic construction of your first house in that garage... Then the initiative to build your own house, then the annex to the garage on the ground floor and the construction from floor... I appreciate that you have strong children, motivate them to do things that your children don't do: exp; to water the lawns or to brush the horses or to help plant some trees in your garden, to take driving school and drive a car alone in the traffic on the highway... I congratulate you for guiding your children to be people with correct thinking and devotion for the place where they live and for the animals they have at hand and this is the most Fascinating...! And now, on the occasion of the Easter holidays of the Catholic rite, I wish you a happy Easter...! Please excuse some mistakes, but I used Google Translate for communication, because I don't know American English very well...!?

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful video. And as others have so wisely written, He is Risen! Love from MN!

I'm sure you already have a emergency Carbon monoxide plan for the apartment being over the garage. A person I knew, had a similar layout. His wife and daughter came home from shopping and left the car running in the garage and forgot. Upstairs they all passed away from the fumes. Sorry for the sad story. Just wanting you all to be safe. :)

So inspiring. World needs this right now!

Beautiful Words yes He is Risen, God bless you dear family.

Thank You LORD FOR YOUR DAILEY MERCIES

HE HAS RISEN 🙌🏼💜 God bless your family

I love how you end your videos with encouraging words and such inspirational wisdom❤

Jeremy, Watching that young man throwing hoops, brought an idea. Pour them a pad, so they can experience better what it's like to play basketball on an actual court. We had a place in our neighborhood when I was growing up. During the winter, less the snow days, we were on that big pad about every night. And the older couple who owned it(Their daughters had already graduated high school, and both in college) would come to our house to make sure we were OK. They had a signal, when they were ready for us to quit bouncing the ball, they would flash the lights for the pad off and on a few times, to let us know it was time to go home. Only one flash of the lights, go to their door. They sometimes fixed us hot chocolate, or a snack, or wanted us to carry their trash out to the cans LOL. A ad like I am referring to, would get so much use, could be used for basketball, tether ball, bad mitten, hop scotch, among many other things. Do it soon, before you know it, they will be gone!

I admire both of you for your enthusiasm in all your projects and accomplishments, I don't mist any of your videos they truly are a inspiration ❤May the good Lord continues blessing this beautiful family and home 🎉❤xo

Another wonderful installment from my favorite KZfaq family the Souzas! Loved it all! From the updates on Gabby, the horses, chores with the little ones and just everyday life! And thank you for including Mr Kenji ❤! As usual your monolog got me Melissa! God's Grace is so good! He gave his only begotten son for us all! God's grace can shine through in many different ways! He sure shines through your family! He has Risen!

Thanks for the Easter message - praise our Lord and Savior!! God bless you all.

Yay! It is posted! My Saturday morning treat with breakfast! 🥰 Have a blessed Easter, knowing that He is in control of this crazy world… ☀️🇨🇦💚

I enjoyed the entire video. But, you know what touched my heart the most? When I saw your family dying Easter Eggs. My family used to do that when I was a child (I'm 62 years old now). My family is gone on for their Great Reward. It brought tears to my eyes seeing this. It brought back so many memories of my brothers and sister and mom and dad sitting around the table dying the Easter Eggs. Thanks for the memories. HAPPY EASTER!!! He's no longer in the tomb.

Hallelujah HE IS RISEN!!!!!

Glad that you SAVED Jeremy hours of drywall finishing and sanding! Happy Easter, Good Simple Living viewers and Souza family!

There's nothing more important than God and our family. Another great video. It's really coming into getting it finished soon❤

Turning dookies into dollars - Love that kid's entrepreneurial spirit. Glad to see a kid that's not afraid to work, and I love how y'all instruct and support him in it. Can't get over the beauty of your night skies. There are times we'll get a great night sky here in central Texas, but they don't compare to yours. "He loves us more than we love Him." Thank you for that reminder. Yes, Friday and Saturday may seem dark and hopeless, but Sunday is coming! Don't give up hope and faith in Him! Great video! Happy Easter to all of you!

Loved your last message. We do have hope through HIM.

Amen! He has risen!

Happy Easter! God bless you

You are good parent's. You instill such good values in your kids. God bless you for 2024❤

I am always in awe at the dream you have made into reality. Something that the whole family can be so proud of 😊. The kids will appreciate and love what you have done for the rest of their lives. Once you are done, please take a vacation then enjoy what you have accomplished. ❤❤

Gabby is looking great! Home stretch time. Spring is my favorite time of year. Cracked up about "Dookies to Dollars".

Amen! Humbled. Grateful. Redeemed. Thank you for sharing this another remarkable video..

Love your family and videos. Dang you guys have a perfect piece of paradise. Your land looks flat and you have the mountains around you.

My cheeks hurt... Who else smiles through this whole video? Great team work ❤

Love the texture job! Ok, seeing your baby doll sheep playing with the boys and trying to get attention from them was heart melting 🫠 ❤️ That's beyond precious!!!!

Spring is always the promise of what life is to come! Summer is the toiling of our hands to shape the day. Fall is time to harvest and clean up and Winter is the time to reflect on the past and plan for the Spring. A perfect circle of life.

The turkeys just roaming free is so beautiful! God bless your family!

Beautiful video. I love seeing the mountains and all your animals.

I’m so happy that you share God’s love for us in your videos. Thank you for that as it is the most important message for people to hear. He is Risen! Your place looks great and glad to see the kiddos growing up.

Your closing comments were on spot! Saying what God Loves, "The Truth". Loved getting the young fearless one and Kerah doing the manure pick up, Phew! LOL! But he is getting paid to do that. And getting Lexan to being ridden again and trained to be more docile and structured in his movements will add to everyone's ability to ride him. Also the texturing and mudding was great to see. Can't wait to see the Ship Lap in place. You guys are go getters and that is why everything turns out so good. Until the next one be safe and prosper.

I never clicked do fast!!😂😂😂😂 Love your family and everything you all have accomplished! Such an inspiration to get my life together 😂. BTW I found your channel when you were building the tiny home inside the garage. Been a fan ever since!!!

It has been such a joy to see the progress you folks have made on your dreams. Thank you so much for sharing and allowing us to follow your journey. I'm thankful I have gotten to see you progress. It just doesn't seem possible when its condensed down into short videos. Don't forget to slow down and enjoy your journey..

Loved today’s video. Kara is really growing up and becoming prettier by the day. And of course who won’t love Eli and that sweet face.

At 65 years old I all by myself did that same texture on my 864 sq ft cottage in the northern woods on a lake in Minnesota. I had the sheetrock hung for me and the guys couldn’t believe I was going to finish it. They called that style of texture Santa Fe.

❤ed your closing message. Happy Easter! He IS risen.

Thank you for your comment and Happy Easter ❤

Making great progress!!! I would wake up every day & thank God for that property, I would be in awe several times a day, the beautiful mountains and the stars at night. God bless you & your family this Easter season and all throughout the year ahead!!!

I swear each week Eli is getting taller and taller (and more handsome)! So happy to see Gabby moving along so quickly too. By Summer she'll be ready to move in. Have a blessed Easter Souza family. God Bless all of you!

Hey yall, most of my cats love to get in the cardboard boxes I get but the youngest cat loves to get in the plastic shopping bags. I love how "moisture" is the magic word of the day for Jeremy. I was too young (5) to appreciate the very first farm I grew up on in eastern Washington (Pomeroy). I never knew how hard it was to maintain all of the animals and the crop fields. I just loved the "Ice Cream" from the many freezers my uncle used to store his product in. He also ran a dairy delivery service on top of a full farm. By the time I was nine I worked on my grandfathers farm driving tractors and grain trucks. He had no animals. Living on both farms, I learned more of Jesus than I ever did at home with my mother. On both farms, no work was to be done on Sunday. That day was devoted to God, and this taught me the sacrifice Our Lord Jesus had made for us. It taught me to celebrate the risen life, and not the death of our loved ones as well as our Savior. Jesus offers eternal life AND life more abundant. Many blessings to you and yours, Happy Easter 💞

100% love this episode!!! I also love springtime and loved seeing the kids color Easter eggs! He is Risen!!! 🎚️💙🎚️💙🎚️💙🎚️💙🎚️

I love Saturday mornings!!!! Thank you for sharing with us.🥰

Happy Easter and thank you for the reminder that he loves us.

I just can’t get over your 360 degree view, wow!!! Congrats on all your progress…living the dream…truly!!!🙏

Nice ending!!!!!!!

Send us some prayers during April as we break ground on our N. Idaho dream home and shop. You guys are such a motivation. We are probably 10-15 years older... so we will have others do the heavy lifting to make our dream a reality. We are ready to be in Idaho.

Loved your video! Your home is beautiful inside and out. So special to see and hear Eli and his Dad working together. Love all your animals and wildlife. It’s such a breath of fresh air to watch your videos. It also blessed mine and my Husband’s hearts when you shared your thoughts on Easter. I’m 65 and grew up a PK. The start of this year has been challenging and it helped to hear you talk about Easter. Thanks so much for sharing! God bless you and your family with HIS peace and protection. Happy Easter ❤✝️

Your youngest daughter has gotten so tall. You are such a beautiful family. I love watching your channel. Blessed Easter!

Good morning to my beautiful family.

Can't say it enough. Beautiful property with a beautiful view and beautiful family who are living their dream. Spring is my favourite season.

Happy Easter, Your family is wonderful to watch grow up.

Love the wagon I got one just like I'm 73 and I loved it but I don't pull on it I hook it to the back of the four-wheeler and away we go. I worked 29 years in a school and I can't say I loved the work but I loved the paycheck and I'm loving the retirement that those 29 years brought me. So stay focused on one paycheck at time

This is a great birthday present. Best Saturday. Let’s goooooooooooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happy Easter 🐇🐰🐣

What a great transformation, moving on at a pace. One of the best time of the year, starting the gardening. Love from Mike. ❤

64 year old guy here. Watched one of your videos quite awhile back, I’ve been hooked. They warm my heart and bring on memories of long ago

Happy Spring, Happy New Planting Year! 👍🏾🤩🐶

Amen ! Love seeing the kids help with the horses. The addition is looking amazing

Happy Easter from South Carolina. What a beautiful video

Good morning guys!

Love your channel. All the way from Philippines ❤️

Happy 🐣! Can't believe how big Elli has gotten since his bday! Looks like he grew a foot from then! Kenji looks good❤!

Another great video as always. Love to see the little ones running around playing. There is thick as thieves. Lol. And what about a sheep want to play football. Lol. Love the wildlife dear, turkey. Got plenty of food just running around in your yard. 😊. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride. 😊

Thanks for sharing your journey and family. Have a blessed Easter. Looking forward to the new videos every week. Fr. Tom and Rowan

Happy Easter 🐰 to you and your family. Love everything you are doing ❤. I can't wait to see everything done.

We made a good move by buying the tractor. Much needed.

Those sheep playing was so fun to watch. Can't wait to see this finished, it will be beautiful. Easter blessings to your family! Thank you.

Celebrate the season ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing 😊

The apartment looks fantastic. It will all come together fast now. I love Eli ! He is just the sweetest lil' cowboy! Happy Easter to you all. Enjoy the spring sun.

Maybe it’s cos I’m pushing 73 but those ladders are worrying me…probably cos I came out of the house loft tout de suite when trying to put away the Christmas tree early Jan…I’m ok now…nothing broken but did manage to knock myself out. You guys have done very well…outstanding! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Happy Easter Everyone!! ❤❤❤

Happiest Easter 🐣 He is Risen 🎉❤Celebration & perfect timing to get this finished.

Happy Easter to you all - God bless.

Another reason why Saturday is so Awesome GSL video and the Souza Family getting together and working on their addition building.Gabby Eli is growing up so quickly and really enjoys doing outdoor chores and turns into something fun instead of just doing it. Seeing Kenji was so much joy such a joyful dog… And Jeremy is so hilarious when working with the plastic.lol!! Now you just have to get the shiplap on the ceiling and get your stairs done and move into Gabby… Have a Wonderful Easter and He is Risen 🙏🏻🙏🏻💯🥰🌹😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Mellissa , Jeremy,Naveah, Kimani, Keira, and Eli and Kenji 🥰🌹😎

There's just something about your videos that have me constantly looking for the next one. I find it hard to believe that you two have never done the kind of work that you're doing before moving to Idaho. I've learned so much watching your videos, unfortunately I'm an old lady, widowed and now live alone. I wish I had the internet back in the 70's when we bought our two family home and converted it to a single family home.I thoroughly enjoy watching watching your progress , the kids, animals and that gorgeous night sky ! God bless all of you. (Donna)

I have been watching you guys since you started building the house…maybe years. I always sensed that you are Christian in faith but you never openly showed your faith. Today I found myself very blessed watching your pre Easter video. Thank you for expressing your faith openly!!!! You may get a bunch of people who didn’t like it but you were faithful to Matthew 28 the Great Commission that Jesus commanded His believers. You guys are awesome!!!

You and your wonderful family have a beautiful Easter loved seeing the night skies just beautiful God Bless you ALL

I live in Florida my whole life never experienced snow or being on an airplane😂, the backdrop of your property the mountains are just gorgeous. Never seen mountains backdrops like the views from your property just gorgeous. That's why I love watching you guys

Another Spring! Wow, time flies. I think this is my 3 Spring with GSL. Looking forward to see the addition completely done.
