Joanna and Chip Gaines have made quite a life for themselves on their gorgeous family farm outside of Waco, Texas.

The Magnolia co-founders, who have been married since 2003, live on a sprawling estate, estimated to be as large as 40 acres, where they've also raised their five kids, sons Drake, Duke and Crew, and daughters Ella and Emmie Kay.

Joanna took to Instagram over the weekend with a new glimpse of the farm in all its green glory, riding around her estate on a summer's day on roller skates.

As you can catch in the video above, the vast estate truly shines, especially also as a home to their many animals and greenhouses. And fans were immediately impressed by not only the farm, but Joanna's skills on the skates.

"My hero, what a life," one gushed, with another simply adding: "How fun!" A third wrote: "As if we couldn’t possibly love you any more, this is perfection," with a fourth offering a simple piece of advice: "On behalf of all us old people – helmet, please! We love you!"

The former Fixer Upper host also has documented the home's kitchen renovation journey, particularly her decision to not leave the home behind while it undergoes a big facelift.

"Living through the farm renovation is building character, but getting a front-row seat to it all coming together is my favorite part. After almost 15 years, my kitchen is getting a whole new look," she shared on Instagram, later adding in a separate clip: "I'm trying to do this renovation in pieces. I am stubborn in that I refuse to move out."
