March 2024
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

Long Rambly Catch Up

By Sarah
 
Jewel and Kate went horseback riding one nice evening awhile ago.
 
 
This was a couple Wednesdays ago. Mom, Jewel, Josh and I had to pick up the sticks from when the apple trees were pruned. The sticks were all put in a pile, so that we could burn them.
 



Mom's Bose works great as a microphone for karaoke on a stump :)  

 
Wednesday night after church, we went to Culver's. Everybody wanted a turn with Miles!

Adults table.

 
Saturday we cleaned lots of windows.

 
Echo was doing some shopping, so Levi brought Kiowa and Flint out for awhile. Kiowa got to help us while Levi worked outside.

 
Sunday night Levi's came out for the evening. We set up the projector and looked back at old vacation pics on the blog. It was a great time.

 
Levi being dorky.

 
Trying to burn the stick pile. It was a little too wet, so it wouldn't burn. Plus, we weren't allowed to use gasoline :( 


We kids found this rope swing in the south grove, so we hung it up in the barn.

 
More pruning.

 
Wednesday we had a crowd of ten of our favorite kids! From left to right; Cason, Jack, Wyatt, Henry, Josh, Clay, Bristol, me (holding Jovie), Jewel (holding Ella), and Ben. August didn't get to come out because it was still too cold for him.


 
Three peas in a pod!

 
Jewel pulling Ben, Clay, and Ella, and me holding Auggie.

 
Little man thought he was pretty cool with Josh's pistol.

 
Auggie loved the swing!

 
Ella loved being outside.


All of the kids left around 2:00, and then at about 2:10, I watched Miles while Mom and Leann walked. He was so happy and SOOO cute!

 
And that's about it for now! Outside it is currently beautiful and sunny, so excuse me while I finish my school, so that I can go outside :)!
