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. ❤️
Hello lovely Sowards, I’ve been re-watching some of your older videos. This vlog in particular touches my heart. You have been such a beautiful family to follow over the years. Your open hearts and your memories are incredibly special. Thank You, always 💕🌸🌺🐝
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
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. 💚
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.
I just turned 61 last month. Ya gotta love a guy who tells his wife how beautiful she is, and indeed she really is! Inside and out! God Bless you both!
I loved this video.. I love your farm and all your animals and are all those handsome young men that you took the photo with yours??? You have 5 boys??? That's WONDERFUL..... You are an AMAZING young woman... That's a lot of hard work, taking care of a farm and a family... I bet your mom is very proud of you..
Beautiful Family you Have Jess You are so blessed ...Happy 60th Birthday Mom/Gramma from a 63 year old Mom/Gramma You are a Blessed Woman Many Blessings to you
What an awesome day for your MIL! The coop is looking good :) and love the group photo shoots, so much fun...my dad is from a family of 8, so much fun memories from when we all got together, you're creating wonderful memories!
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.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who got happy tears :) Christopher Walken huh? Well why not lol Love all the name choices. Glad you all had a nice time and Happy Birthday! Yep. Jess you look beautiful :)
I loved how Jeremiah's mom was patting someone's fanny LOL. My kids are 27, 24, 22 and 16. They all still get their fannies a patted frequently !!! Its just a mom thing 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
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.
How wonderful! Thanks for Sharing that day with us! Thanks also for explaining the goat with no ears...at first I thought oh no "frost bite" ; glad it is just a trait. Jeremiah your Mom is so pretty and young looking for all those kids she raised! :) And Jess you are always pretty too, but yeah gotta doll up a bit more for pics :) You have a wonderful family! Happy Birthday to your Mom!
Jeremiah's right that you look beautiful today well always but you know what we mean. And Jeremiah didn't have on a tank top for the family pictures wow LOL what an awesome video and how blessed it is to be with family
Mayhem is beautiful! I like Christopher Walken! Lol! I didn't realize you had so many goats, where are you hiding them, lol! I love making turkeys gobble! I have wild tomatillo, very invasive and considered a noxious weed. You really are so beautiful, Miah is right! Nothing better than Family!
you are blessed girl, you and your family cute names. my favorite of a friend's pet pig is the kids named her giraffe. when you have a pig named giraffe you create an identity crisis
I love the name Mayhem! It fits a goat personality way to well. I think Ben comes up with some fun names, I am only concerned about what he may name his children one day.
Happy family birthday gathering, that is a lot of family, lol!! Woot woot to large families. Miah is right Jess, you look beautiful and what great family photos. Precious memories. :-)
I had a great time hanging out with all the family. Thank you for bringing me along. I discovered that you are real life friends with my nephew and niece in law. She told me when I posted that I am going to the Heirloom Expo. I can totally see you all hanging out enjoying life and kids. Her name is Jessica Thrash. 😁
Yes it is. What's funny is you and Miah are the speakers I wanted to meet the most, and there you are besties with my step-niece and nephew. You have really spoken to my heart and kind of verified that God is leading me in my gardening in some way.
Hi Jess, was nice to see your video. I'm visiting my daughter the last few days. I love getting together with my children and family too. I loved the picture they took of you and your family. So glad you had a good reunion. Oh, lol I kinda thought you might talk Turkey! Your funny girl. So nice to visit you this way. Have a good evening..God Bless your family...Amen💕
Haha, big families and their get togethers are loud and fun and awesome! But pictures... whew! Everybody goofs off and it takes about a zillion photos to get one good one!
As with my family, try to get together at least once a year. Never know what life has in store, family's need more," Hello! How have you been, because you never know when those dreaded final good byes will show up.
As another goat owner -- can you identify the wormer you found to help Mayhem? I'd like to note it in my medicine documentation in case I need something new. Thanks.
@@RootsandRefugeFarm That's right, the race car drivers. Should have paid more attention on that one. 😁 I sent you a picture of my covered raised bed that worked really well last winter on Facebook's pm. Loving your channel!! God Bless you and your family.
Regarding Christopher Walken, search youtube for Christopher Walken weapon of choice. It's him dancing, nothing bad. Lol. If you like Walken you'll like the video :)
Makes me realize how long I've been watching y'all! I Bless the Sowards ❤
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.

Your sweet mom/ mom-in-law... She is smiling on you both right now..❤❤

Now that's a family farm. Yes I agree Jeremiah exceptionally fetching. And every single person had a smile on their face, that's cool stuff.

You are so right!

As another goat owner -- can you identify the wormer you found to help Mayhem? I'd like to note it in my medicine documentation in case I need something new. Thanks.
What fun! Was that a partridge I saw walking around w/the turkey??
Think it might be a Guinea hen...
That makes sense.😁
Have you looked at food grade diatomaceous earth? For ingestible de wormer
Did y'all part with the "goat cart" twins?
Please tape some fake ears on Clover and Ona(lol). But then again God doesn't make mistakes. What a BIG beautiful family.
I've never seen or heard of those goats. No ears really changes their look.
Hey I'm the first to comment hello from AZ I'm a new subbie
You rock! :-) I'm 3rd. LOL
Welcome arabella! Glad you’re here ❤️
I'm from AZ as well. Love Roots & Refuge!
I'm In California. Straight down the I-10. LOL :-)
I've heard that food grade diatemaceous earth will expel worms. Do you know if it's true?
Did you get rid of Shake and Bake??
No their names are Jeff and Dale and shake and bake is their little
Giddy up command! They are the white and black ones I introduced first!
@@RootsandRefugeFarm That's right, the race car drivers. Should have paid more attention on that one. 😁 I sent you a picture of my covered raised bed that worked really well last winter on Facebook's pm. Loving your channel!! God Bless you and your family.
Late night editing for you too huh, lol!

Wow your Farm is Awesome 😍
Beautiful, That is Heaven on Earth. 🌶🌽🥕🍆🍇🌈🌏
What happened to the goats ears?????? 😢😢😢😢😢
Nevermind just heard it lol
It’s a breed trait of Lamancha goats! They are born that way!
Your mother in law is beautiful...and DOESN'T LOOK 60!!!!
Aww love this video. Happy Birthday to Jeremiah's Mommy. He has a big family.
