September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

12-8-12 Christmas Party

Levi, Jesse, Dad, & I once again enjoyed a delicious meal at the Precision Planting Christmas Party last night. Following the meal we enjoyed the beautiful singing of Testify and then a wild fun game of building gingerbread structures (using cardboard instead of gingerbread). Prizes were awarded in several categories but I don’t remember them all; our table was our team, and we were given a  box of supplies and a time limit of 45 minutes. We had a good time with Phil, Linda, Joshua, and Derek & Leann, although we didn’t win any prizes.

Our completed tower. It was one of the tallest but it had quite a lean to it.

I thought this was pretty impressive for a table full of young men: Levi & Jesse, Nic, Ben, & Andy, Jimmy, Cory, & Brandon.

The rocket won the prize for the tallest, as it was self-supporting (unlike others which used the ceiling for support).
