As promised . . .

Wriley and her big ole belly that I think (hope 🤞🏼🤞🏼) has triplets in there!

Can’t go wrong starting your day with a beautiful sunrise and some very pregnant sheep! ☀️☺️

We’re pretty sure Wriley’s got triplets in there because her belly is crazy big 😅. I’ll see if I can get a good pic of her standing up at some point and y’all can be the judges!

I just wanted Kenji to p**p, but the moon had other plans. 😒🌕

What should have been a 5-minute potty break turned into a 30-minute shadow-chasing extravaganza! It was crazy bright out at 8 PM and the moon was casting a billion shadows for the pup to hunt, especially when the barn cats followed us out there. Everybody was actin’ up 😅!

Top pic is no flash/no filter, and the bottom pic is when I accidentally left my flash on. ☀️

Sheep, they’re just like us! Well, some of us—the pregnant kind at least. It’s all angles and elbows the closer they get to delivery. 😅

Caught Wriley’s lambs doin’ a little womb gymnastics too! Looks like it’s gettin’ a little crowded in that big ole belly of hers 🫣. She had triplets last time, so we’re curious to see if she drops another three this time around! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Also, please ignore Wheaton’s crazy hair, it’s on our to-do list 😬. Honestly, it’s been on that list for a hot minute, but glass balls and steel balls, amiright?! 🐑

Welcome to Lifestyles of the Livestock Farmer... 👩🏻‍🌾🐑

All six girls are bagged up and ready to go 🤗!!!

While the rich and famous are snapping selfies in their mansions, I’m out here snapping pics of sheep derrières 🤣! Such is the glamorous reality of pregnant ewes—a camera roll full of graphic pics like I’ve got an OnlyFarmers account 🫣😅.

It’s a brisk 35° out this morning. 🥶

The weather really said straight to winter. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.

Anyone else skipping fall completely today? What's the temperature looking like by you? If it’s warmer, make some room because I’m coming over 😅.

Note to self:

Consider doing a FOD walkdown prior to bush hogging, except in addition to looking for foreign object debris, be on the lookout for groundhog holes as well 😅.

After a much-needed rain, we came out to do evening chores and discovered the most beautiful double rainbow I’ve ever seen! 🤩🌈🌈

The boys were so excited to finally see one that they ran all the way up to the barn to drag Tom out so he could see it too before it disappeared ☺️.

Also, please ignore the state of our overgrown garden area—we’re working on it, along with the other 123,456,789 other things we’ve got going on around the farm 😅.

There’s something so special about family who shows up—not just to visit, but to pitch in. ❤️

We were so incredibly grateful to have Jen Patterson Tom Patterson Marle Woolison and Justin Woolison visit from Arizona. They jumped right into farm life, helping with animal chores, reclaiming the garden, mowing, bush hogging, organizing the garage, and so much more! It was a true teamwork makes the dream work experience, and it was amazing ☺️.

Farm life is rewarding, but it’s also a lot of hard work, so having family willing to roll up their sleeves and work alongside us is a blessing we will never take for granted.✨🙏🏼

I’m not gonna lie, getting to make so much progress on the farm in such a short time was great, but truly, the best part was the time we spent together. The adventures, meals, conversations, laughter, and memories reminded us that the greatest gift isn’t a finished task list, it’s simply being together with family.
Thank you for your love, your hard work, your support and your encouragement for the life we lead - it means the world to us! We love y’all so much and are thankful for every moment. ❤️

This is a way way latergram, but a post that deserved to be made because the people in it are amazing and we couldn’t be more thankful for them ❤️🙏🏼.

Also, the only thing we’ve done since they left is maintain what we accomplished when they were here 😅. Ain’t no party like a working party, and we went from a working party of 6 back down to 2. lol.

This is a little bit of a because we took a two-week hiatus for family time, but the chicks are finally out of the brooder and settled into the coop/run now! At first we were a little worried Tom’s work on the coop was all in vain because it took them a few days to build up the courage to explore outside the actual coop, but once they touched grass, they were sold 😅. Now they’re outside as much as possible, and since it’s bug season, they’ve got plenty to eat and scratch around for.

Also, they’re not quite chicks anymore either—they grow up so fast don’t they. 🐥🐓🥹
