Well, this didn't turn out like we EXPECTED!

Just a regular day on the farm...except Kevin has to have surgery. After milking the goats, feeding the chickens, and taking care of the pigs & turkeys, it's time to head into town for Kevin to have his deviated septum surgery to help with snoring & breathing.
It goes quite unexpected and Kevin isn't able to help with the farm chores which leaves Lydia and DaNelle to take up the slack. They have to do all the farm chores themselves and between farm life and regular life -- it gets crazy!

Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

That last clip of Kiwi and her chicks is so cute. Love you guys!😀

[@pandas4240]

OMG, I just saw that too!!! So cute!!!

[@mylifesjourney...sharonkar7802]

The wind beneath her wings. So sweet. That just melted my heart to a puddle.❣

[@tinajackson944]

That was so sweet 🥰

[@jennifermoniz3278]

You guys make my day .....feel better Kevin

[@melsteenson7229]

Alana and 8th

[@TheXBrittanyx]

When Kevin is up to it I’d be so happy to see “a day in the life of Kevin” 😉 see his point of view on the farm! (PLEASE LIKE THIS SO THEY SEE THIS!)

[@KarthiKeyan-ej1hk]

Speedy recovery Mr.Kevin. I like your channel

[@jellyqueen3451]

Omg same

[@scooby12466]

Here's to Kevin for a speedy recovery. Thanks for making us a part of your lives. And Kevin looked at the ice like I look at tacos lol

[@tuultuul3189]

ičbrtr

[@dollyc4314]

Speedy Recovery Kevin. Didn't know Sonic sold ice!

[@lesliemandic9673]

Didnt either but yum for crunch ice!

[@katdeelicious]

In the thumbnail, I thought it was gonna be one of those "Kevin's crafts gone wrong" lol Get well soon Kevin!

[@missmartpants2269]

I can so picture Lydia as an old woman milking goats😊 God bless! Hope ya feel better real quick Kevin!

[@OZARKMEL]

Kiwi is such a good Mama....loved seeing her put her wing over her babies on the fence.....she is really special. Hoping Kevin is doing better.....

[@LailaShippy]

So many dots😆

[@Callies_ChaoticAnimationCorner]

I count about 15 dots, which in dot years is 15 years

[@Quit731]

That many dots I am not that old........

[@nicolem2564]

Omg when Danell said “are you gonna eat my aeggs willow ???” she sounded so cute ♥️♥️ Also I’d be so overwhelmed with that many eggs Also I hope Kevin gets better soon

[@missingallmymarbles7670]

Nicole Meaney you’d be surprised how fast eggs can go. Just cooking for two can use up a lot. My family are full of celiacs and eggs help take the place of gluten in cooking and taste a lot better and are much cheaper than the cereal we can eat

[@fakecubed]

Once you have tasty free range fresh eggs coming in every day, it's pretty exciting and you will want to use them all the time.

[@kelibeli6]

Poor Kevin! I've had that septoplasty surgery and the recovery is horrible!

[@silasmonk2458]

So..ethan is continually amazing at editing,..does he pick the music out as well...? Such great shots.

[@Callies_ChaoticAnimationCorner]

I think so

[@bonniebarnekow1415]

I know what she feels because I have that problem . I really love Luna. She is so sweet. My favorite goat .

[@bethberndt3172]

That shot of Kiwi and her littles at the end is so sweet. Feel better Kevin!

[@silasmonk2458]

...nice...

[@frostlinemlondon580]

I hope Kevin gets better soon. I hate being sick, it's just the worst. But when you get better, you appreciate life more than before you got sick 👍

[@doubleavaa3617]

I am inspired to live like you guys one day! You are such a nice and helpful family. I showed this to my family and now they watch you daily. Greetings from Tennessee! 💖

[@CarisseH]

Congratulations on hitting over 250k subscriders 👍😀. I am glad to hear Kevin is healing.

[@lpsfriends1414]

So I all most broke my finger clicking on this I was so worried for Kevin xD

[@inyayardhomestead5693]

Praying that Kevin has a speedy recovery, poor bloke. Well done with the pigs great idea. God bless you guys.

[@VannaWhiteboard]

I am glad Kevin is okay. He is a great person. The shot of him with the milking station lights behind him, in the beautiful glow of the midsummer sunset, is lovely. The pigs feeding separately is satisfying to see.

[@pandas4240]

At 8:07 I was laughing so hard at Daniel trying to close the bucket! 😂

[@TheTooleer]

I love your videos.....I hope Kevin feels better as well. Also, Please attach the songs used in your videos 🙂. Please. Pretty please . Thanks in advance.

[@suzannahenning1264]

The baby turkeys are looking great. Always look forward to ur vlogs and cooking.Quick recovery Shout Out To Kevin

[@pinkeeist]

Mumma turkey on the fence with her wing over her chicks melted my heart.......that would be such a great photo! What agitated my heart was to see poor Kevin so sick.........I am sure all of your subscribers felt for him as I did :(. Thank God that Kevin has such a loving and devoted wife and family who did what was necessary to ensure that he had a complete and comfortable recovery. I'm looking forward to having Kevin back.............sending love to you all

[@ashlieclark1008]

Luna is such a good supervisor lol. Kiwi putting her wing over her babies made me tear up. I hope Kevin gets better quick.

[@time4kolene]

Kevin hope you feel better real soon. Danelle showed great restraint not buying Chick's ❤️

[@nighatimran3355]

I Love your viodo

[@sexy7ftagarthansexgod]

Oh no! Rabbits will take up half your house, trust me. 😂

[@doc5245]

Frick Frack yess!!! We have 1 and he runs this place even puts the dogs in check oddly!

[@Kytti-not-kitty]

My rabbit is a free range indoor/outdoor rabbit and he uses the cat flap and the cat doesn't like sharing but bunny doesn't give her a choice 😂

[@goatmom465]

Me too I have outdoor Havana rabbits my goats are even more eretated than me! I had one American Fuzzy Lops and she never made a mess in the barn 🐇. But my Havana rabbits made the barn soooooo messy I have to clean the barn to times a week 😭.

[@shannonstockman9241]

Yes! Growing up I had 2 and before long we had 36 🥴

[@f77nylife]

Yes i have 2 and they are the bosses of the house now lol

[@taunyaw2181]

I hope he's 100% very, very soon!! Wait...Sonic sells bags of ice?! Holy cow!

[@hanorabrennan8846]

Poor Kevin! Love that guy! Danelle, what do you use on your skin, you look bloody gorgeous! Wish we had your temperatures here in Ireland. TFS. X

[@maggiesfarm7970]

Honey?

[@crimsonhermitcrab7877]

Trust me, Arizona in summer is hell.

[@mahealaniw]

Aww! Get well soon Kevin.. Thanks for the laughs I just totally love those goats 🤗☺💜🌺

[@debramurray5132]

Great decision for 2 bowls for the pigs. Feel better Kevin.

[@JBRich1]

Kiwi is the best turkey mom that I have ever seen. She seems so proud of her accomplishment! Lol

[@elainerusell1527]

Adorable how Willow looked at you as if she was asking if you would let her eat those eggs as you pulled the basket of eggs away.

[@ggmero1717]

Feel better Kevin! Danelle is going to love you even more after your snoring goes away😆👍🏻

[@rubyazofeifa4023]

Kiwi is such an amazing mom. Can't wait to see Willow as a mom and Penny as a grandma! 😊😊😊

[@nancywarren608]

I love how Kiwe shelters her babies. So sweet. Good call on the pig bowl. Dinner looked fantastic!

[@analeegarcia9388]

I hope Kevin continues to heal! A homesteader down the road from us was kind enough to show us his farm! The way he raises his rabbits is he builds a pen for them but also digs 16inches below ground and runs wire mesh down. For protection from the predators and to keep dad away so he doesn't end up with 40 bunnies. That happend to him before! 😲 It's just his wife and him so they don't need 40 rabits. He built a little teepee shelter and they just burrow underground. After momma has the babies, around 3 weeks he said they come up. Just thought I'd share Bob's knowledge! We are in zone 6b for refrence in Idaho! ♥️ Take care. 😊

[@cevrene5401]

Seeing those peaches makes me so excited for my own peaches. 🍑 I only have one producing, though. For some reason my other one just grew more branches where the peaches should’ve been.

[@silasmonk2458]

😯

[@heidi9583]

awwwww, from my family to yours, lots of love and healing energy Kevin.

[@jintzie1950jth]

I’m glad the video showed him up, around, walking, getting back to normal at the end. I hope he keeps feeling better.

[@Rastarunt]

Poor Kevin. Hes like the wholesome, crafty Uncle of KZbin haha.

[@mileymiley4275]

I love your channel it’s just so amazing ❤️

[@karolgallegos244]

Omg I always get so excited when you post.I spend all day in my room due to my depression and anxiety but I get so excited when I see your notifications💕

[@lifeastrevor6612]

[@lonesomedove3793]

You are as awesome as anyone else. Hold your head high and be proud of who you are.

[@roneekwopsockpawwinnee4724]

You aren’t the only person with depression , anxiety also. Just stay strong and don’t forget. You. Are. Beautiful.

[@Pixiesantics]

I'm sorry Kevin has had rough time. Glad to see he's on the mend. I was really shocked when the second pig feeder actually worked. A big thumbs up!

[@buchandoreen8546]

I am watching this 3years later All of your family is wonderful. Danelle is a hard worker with great helpers always.The blouse you are wearing is flattering. Nice color and shows up well.

[@MrsznewyawkRN]

Danelle - "I got something that'll fix our problem on the farm" Kevin - "sounds expensive" 😂🤣 I swear Kevin never disappoints - feel better Kevin ♥️💯

[@fakecubed]

With the blanket over the feeder, I wonder if Luna is now thinking there's food hidden under any sort of flap now, and that's why she's going for the bins in the milking station.

[@denovo921]

Kiwi covering the chicks with her wing is the cutest thing ever

[@lindsayconnell1170]

My step-brother had that surgery (the one for snoring) and said the pain was one of the worse things he’s ever been through in his 45 years of life! He said there’s no way he’d ever go through that again, so my heart really goes out to Kevin! Hopefully he’s back to his happy, funny hardworking self again! I love his “Craft or Crap” segments 🤣 I must say, usually I’m really impressed with what he’s able to fix and repurpose! Praying that he continues down the path of feeling better!

[@roxannehavens5361]

I thought it had to do with a chicken and shovel, wondered what Kevin got himself into to end up in the hospital over those two things LoL 😂🤣😂 glad he is doing better though

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

Aw, Kevin,I'm so sorry to hear you've been feeling poorly. I hope you heal soon and feel better even sooner. I sided with Kevin on the pig feeder; I was wrong. Good for you. Maybe George can catch up with Fred, now.

[@silasmonk2458]

Good restraint Da'nelle! Suddenly all those daily dad contributions are noticed😊

[@caramc5013]

Hope you feel better soon Kevin and that your breathing has improved. Have to comment on that Turkey Mama. How precious she is with her babies. That last shot with her wing over them. Priceless.

[@alexandriacalleja1654]

I hope you get better Kevin, you need to start milking Luna now cause you missed some days 😂 i hope you make a come back with those crafts! 13:27 best...sunset ever!!

[@Lizeeeeee.e.e]

Poor Kevin! I’ve always respected how strong and resilient he is on the farm. Not to mention a jack of all trades. Always super impressive I can’t believe such a basic procedure completely knocked him!!! Haha the irony is not at all lost on me. I’m glad he’s feeling better now.

[@jeanniecollins3332]

Ugh! Feel better Kevin! And, yay for better pig dining scenarios! Kiwi is such a sweet momma.

When I saw the thumbnail I was like “oh no what happened poor Kevin” I honestly thought that a chicken attack him with a shovel 😂 for real I’m not kidding!!

You should feed one pigs inside the goat pin and one in the pasture, then there will be a whole fence between them.

[@theurbangarden4790]

I have to say. I just found your channel. I also watched videos from only a year ago and your urban garden has grown in leaps and bounds!
