Nuggets Along the Trail: Best Time of Year!

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

Best Time of Year!

by Tori & Kate

Henry’s smile in both of these pictures was just too cute not to post……

Seems like Josh is aways finding new stuff to take pictures of. In this case he’s laying under the tire swing and swinging it and taking px as it swings over him.

Frank is lacking in the brains department. He was trying to wait out the rain on the patio but was getting fairly wet.

Going back to last week - getting ready for the TYG Musicale (kids’ camera px).

More hummingbird sightings.

And finally! Harvest 2016!

One evening after the elevater closed, Levi took over the augurwagon and Jesse took over the combine so they could fill up everything.

Best time of year for little boys and Grandpas too!

New combine has a big cab!

We love farming with Grandpa!

Jewel and her newest pet.

I don’t know who had the camera for these trucking pictures, but I like them.

Big brothers who drive trucks are the best!

Line at the elevator.

Jesse and Jacob ended up running this outfit on Thursday night. They went until the elevator closed, then filled everything up before calling it quits.

Mom-isms

When you've got a lot of irons in the fire, sometimes you're gonna get burnt.
Much gain comes to him who hustles while waiting.
Good intentions produce little.
Efficiency is utilizing effective but careful shortcuts for the sole purpose of making more time for the next productive pursuit or service to others.
Laziness is utilizing shortcuts, careful and effective or not, for the sole purpose of making more time for the next selfish or nonproductive pursuit or activity.
Never try to multi-task while giving haircuts.
Carelessness hurts.
I've never met a mess that can't be cleaned up.
God made dirt not to hurt.
When you go on a walk, take gloves and a bag for trash.
Shortcuts usually aren't.
A job done right has been done twice.
When sick children are almost better, we always regret taking them anywhere.
When sick children are almost better, we are always glad we kept them home.
