    What sweet memories were made in this video. ♥️ If anyone has ever questioned your love and hearts desire for more land, cows and future growth.....this intro so perfectly demonstrates your God given desire to grow and do more.

    I am the 7th of 8 kids. There are few things better than getting your whole family together. Its been 11 years since mine has been all in 1 room. This video makes me heart happy.

    What a great throwback I ran across today! Miah almost wanted to cry towards the end when he said "It's nice to be around family". As 1 of 9, getting to be around everyone and Mom was a very special treat. ❤️

    My heart breaks for your family watching this video that celebrates Nana Jana's 60th birthday knowing just a few weeks later the Almighty took her home. What a very special video of beautiful memories! Bless you all and many prayers still to your family as I unfortunately know how grief never dies. Always remember grief is love❤

    Oh my goodness
    There's not enough tears to shed
    You have no idea
    Don't ever take it for granted
    I know that no family is perfect
    On camera or off
    But you have the Fruits of the Spirit
    And there's no greater harvest

    @scotthargraves576 Před 6 lety

    Our chicken coop has an outside access nest box. It took several years, earlier this season a raccoon figured out how to get in through the nest box hatch at night after the birds were "safely" locked up for the night. We lost half of our flock before I could figure out what was happening. Birds are currently secured in the main barn with Sally the Donkey deterring predators so far.

  • @daniellegrandpa
    @daniellegrandpa Před 6 lety

    Great you included prayer in your celebration, and yes jess looks great today. At 72, I never, ever had a birthday party, not even as a child, perhaps I'll have one in heaven.

    Such a gorgeous family!! I LOVE that (and not sure if it’s ever been thought of like this) y’all’s last name is Sowards.
    Sowards make me think of you as stewards of seed sowing. And do so well and share your classroom with us! I’ve gained so much knowledge and inspiration from you sharing, thank you Jess. Bless you and your sweet family. 💚

    @DonnaldaSmolens Před 6 lety

    I had a dairy goat herd for several years. I finally decided to only breed my does every 3 years instead of every year. Their milk went down by half but it was better than trying to decide what to do with a lot of extra goats.
