DITL: NEW CHICKENS and a NEW MILESTONE

[@janiceyoder621]

There's nothing better than teaching your children about farm life. So happy for you that you can do this again and have a big boy to help you!

[@prestonfortin9419]

Loved watching you and your children with the chickens. You are so brave in every adventure. As an 80 year old great grandmother, I find myself flinching, laughing, smiling and enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@vjohnson2400]

Xander is a great little helper. Love hearing Lexi’s conversation coming along, the sweetest little girl.

[@peterwhite9261]

Oh my word. How sweet is this? Lexi saying night night was so precious. I had a brother that could crawl and climb before he walked. We had a time keeping him in his crib. He would crawl to the cupboards and get into everything bad at night and early morning. There were no cameras back then. We had to tie up all of the cupboards. Thank goodness he quickly grew out of it. It was a terrible worry. Those chickens and rooster are so cute. Xander is a wonderful son and brother. He lifted that bale of hay like it was not heavy. WTG Xander. Lexi's vocabulary is growing fast like her. What a joy and blessing to you and all of us. Thanks for sharing. May the good Lord continue to abundantly bless you all. Lots of love to you all.❤

Xander is making a great little farmer - so confident and fearless already - and hasn't Lexi grown - she is a real little chatterbox. You should be so pleased - they are a credit to their lovely parents. Janice 🇬🇧 xxx

The pure joy in Lexis face with those chickies is seriously the sweetest thing ever!! Watching Xander reaching in his pocket to help his mama was definitely a defining moment of his childhood transitioning into a young man... I remember when my son got his very first Leatherman... He was about 9 or so & he was so proud to be responsible with his new tool. I was worried bcuz with him being autistic, he doesn't always think through his actions, but he'll be 15 in a few short months & he is still carrying it. He's really good about helping, too, so it melts my heart watching Xander... I know I always say this, too, but the compassion that both of your littles have towards animals is legit the best thing ever! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us ❤ God bless y'all. 🙌

[@Rebecca_of_Oregon]

I love the way you get your children involved. It’s so nice to see. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@SandraRodriguez-ff2rz]

Yes it is a big day. Xander is such a an amazing young boy that has fun and enjoys helping out with all kinds of jobs around the house yard and animals. And Lexi is going so fast and can talk so good. Y'all are an amazing and God fearing family. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@linak7155]

All in a day's work! I took notice of the camera being switched in order to make smooth transitions. You're a pro in juggling all of it. Xander has such a great sense of humor. He can see the rooster's 🐓butt. Lol! You' scared the 🥚🥚out of the🐔🐔" that was hilarious!😂❤

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

So sweet. Your children are growing so fast. Nothing better than fresh eggs for breakfast.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes!

[@SmallWonda]

Such a beautiful barn - great to have fresh eggs! Happy days.

[@chronicallymom]

You can get a dome tent that goes over the top of the crib. It will keep her in and safe.

[@lovelyday04]

Thank You Lord for enriching Xander and Lexi with all the benefits promised in Your Word, crowning their lives with the very best that heaven can provide!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

You just made me homesick… I managed that Wendy’s for 11 years before I got married. ❤

[@marynauman3236]

I thought I recognized that you were in Dillsburg to get the chickens. I love be south of there. Enjoyed watching the kids interact with the chickens

[@karenturner7983]

Thanks for sharing.

[@priscillaolivero1551]

I love the chickens!! Love watching Xander and Lexi take care of the chickens! ❤️❤️🎉

[@shadegarden7375]

Your Corgi is ready to do flock exercise/rotation🤣🤣🤣

[@theMennoniteMom]

🤣🤣 for sure lol

[@thewanderer1139]

My Favorite...🤗🤗

[@dianebondhus9355]

Lots of exciting things happening at your house 😁

[@ozarkview928]

Such a fun video ! Lexi crawling out of her crib 😅 I wasn’t very good at training my children to stay in there beds , always felt sorry for them . But thy are all adults now and sleep in there own beds no problem 😅.

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅 too bad it isn't switched. Sleep as babies and want to get up as adults 😆

[@lynnobrien9429]

Chickens laying already how nice. lil escape artist. to cute.

[@ginger1549]

You & your kids do get into some adventures, don't you.When I was about Lexi's age my Mom had a miscarriage , lost a lot of blood & was pretty sick for a while. I climbed out of my crib and entertained myself taking all the labels off all the canned goods I could reach in the cupboard. I guess we had mystery meals for a few weeks.

[@kimmerrou]

Somehow, I missed this! I see everyone getting chickens and I want to, too. But, it's not happening. That's okay, my sister- in- law has enough for the whole family. She's known as "the crazy chicken lady"😄. On a side note, my son's choir(which he is in) from his college (Penn View Bible Institute) will be in your area tomorrow night. I told him roundabout where you are located (based on where you get your mail from) and he said "Mom! That's where we're going!" Of course, he called it Xander's town because, well my son loves kids(he's called to missions with an emphasis on kids ...think George Müller, only in South America.) Lexi is getting to be so big ! I can't believe she's going to be two in just a few short months!

[@ruthturkington1736]

Lexi is so cute knocking on the window of the coop!

[@dianamarsden1933]

Many years ago, a friend of mine’s parents raised chickens for Campbell Soup. I always went to help gather up the chickens to be put in the huge semi truck. We put them in cages they were so mean and to handle!

[@theMennoniteMom]

That'd so interesting. I can imagine that's no fun! Catching large amounts. Uggg.

[@ruthturkington1736]

Oh look at her - she climbed out! I well remember when each of our 4 learned. They were from 14 to 18 months!😮

[@theMennoniteMom]

That's crazy! Once they learn, that's all they can think l about then.

[@mariamartens285]

My twins enjoy watching Lexi they're just alil older then her and also love animals so whenever you post something with Lexi and animals its a double win for them 😊 I'm just crossing my fingers here they wont pay to much attention to how she gets out of her crib😂

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

Enjoyed the video

[@a.hakvoort8098]

All snow is gone!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes the weather is so moody here. 😑

[@laurenalcala4253]

I would love to have chickens. But I would have to move. Have a great weekend! TFS ❤️

[@theMennoniteMom]

I wish you could!

[@ruthturkington1736]

You have warm weather no sweaters. We don’t have snow either but we still are using jackets

[@theMennoniteMom]

The weather better is very moody. It can't decide what to do 😅

[@connieverbeck1110]

Now that Washington State has passed a law that all chickens must be free range, a carton of 18 eggs is over $10!! We are seriously considering getting some chickens. Our chicken coop is long gone. Ugh!!

[@justinaandjohnnyslife466]

I'm always amazed at the beautiful songs you find for your videos. Would you mind sharing where you get most of your songs from!? Or Any tips on how to find the right music?🙈 I'm always struggling in that area...

[@theMennoniteMom]

I am subscribed to music bed and epidemic sound. So u can liscense their music

[@justinaandjohnnyslife466]

@theMennoniteMom thank you! I do mostly use epidemic sounds, might have to look into music bed also. Thank you for your reply 💖

[@linak7155]

Jeannine, u say 2ur Corgie 'No chickens for you!'lol! A word of caution. As a kid, I remember our dog munching on a couple of our chicks. By the way, our family has found another great channel. 'Montana Haven' a Amish family living in Alaska with their 5 children. It is soo inspiring watching those children work together ❤️

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes. I know she will dig in if she gets the chance so we need to be careful. Montana Haven. They are are lovely family!

[@lynisewolf9377]

Not a Stanley Rotf🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the journey of Gods nature

[@theMennoniteMom]

🤣🤣 I hoped someone saw that. I'm kinda anti Stanley craze, but I like the style for my cupholder 🤣

[@maryb7701]

Love your videos! I remember you and Raquel Witmer filming a q and a before. Do you know if she is coming back to KZbin bc she hasn’t posted in 4 months

[@theMennoniteMom]

She announced that she's quitting 😪

[@maryb7701]

Oh that’s so sad 😥

[@Daisy23gaming]

Your Son is turning 7 Soon!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

[@ginismoja2459]

[@theMennoniteMom]
