What an achievement. Wow how the kids have grown 😊. Loved Badger's hair in the early videos. Thank you for including us in your adventure.
This video was awesome it actually brought a tear to my eye At the end. The key to the whole thing is you are a tight family unit and work together in good and bad always looking forward but never forgetting to look back to remember how far you all have come. I am looking forward to 2025 to see what path you travel next.

SUPER SPECIAL! DEAR FATHER GOD, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for helping me find the Scotters videos!!! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH they mean to me and HOW MUCH enjoyment they bring. Thank YOU For watching over them ALL, especially when the fires came. THANK YOU for protecting them and their properties!! Please continue to keep them all safe from harm. THANK YOU for keeping them safe as they built ESPECIALLY ALL the times they were up on the rooves..house, pole barn, etc. Fighting the fires… THANK YOU for keeping them Healthy, providing, sending lots of good help, putting great ideas in their noggins, helping them find wonderful deals, giving them a happy marriage, smart , happy, healthy children etc Help them to remember ALL YOU HAVE DONE AS NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU!!! IN JESUS s MIGHTY NAME Amen. Dear Betsy, i meant to send this ? to you so maybe you can still answer it?? I think you are very smart and have wondered if you sold or gave what you made to your friends and what they thought, if you did. You will have a successful business one day, if you want. Ive watched this several times now and the tears that came to my eyes. The children have grown up so much ,all TOO FAST! So have Pudding, pigs and more. Wilfred I loved being reminded what a good brother you are. Pushing trixie on the swing and making her laugh. Do you enjoy reading? So many adventures to be had ,if so. I enjoyed Trixie again, in her beautiful long red dress 💃 twirling . Also Crumbs showing us all How low he could go under the pallets, doing the limbo😅. Badger thanks for being Portugal s McGeyver! You can figure out and rig up anything..a great gift to have. Thanks for being a great husband, father, and protector! ( Please dont forget to lead your family in thanking GOD, making time to praise and WORSHIP HIM and give HIM time too.) I have a Suggestion for You and Kayla that I believe GOD popped into my head 1 day ,for the safety and protection of you and your family and community. During the fires you said you all were basically without Any official fire fighters help Because they were busy other places. So maybe you could head up a Brigade of people in your community to see if during the year when there are no wildfires, arranging with official firefighters to receive ( maybe twice a month?) Training and tips from them to help if that situation were to arise again. Then you all could train others in the community. Maybe Kayla could help get the women together to have bake sales and other fund raisers to buy some protective gear a little at a time, for your group ,for future emergencies. I hope this idea will be most profitable for you all and help you all to be way better prepared. Most of all tho I HOPE you will never need it!😮😅 HUGS to each of you! You KNOW I Love you all. ( recently a commenter said some things about 1 of your children that made me hopping MAD.) They have NO RIGHT to say such about a child Especially on the World wide web!!!!!! Please consider removing such a comment and blocking them If they do such an awful thing again!! I dont want any of your children to be hurt by such a MEAN comment if they were to read the comments.
I look forward to your videos every week! You guys have accomplished sooooo much over the past 2 years and I’m so proud of you. What an absolute blessing it is that you share the amazing journey of your family with us. You guys are incredible!!!

It was nice to revisit your family over the two years. It really was a great time for the children to be able to adjust to the new life, and they certainly seem to be doing just that.
Laughed, cried and prayed with you on this journey! It has been awesome! Thankyou for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I am following you Guys since the horrible Fires in Portugal. I really enjoyed today's Video. It was like a great catch up with old Friends.
