July 2026
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

6-6-11 Saturday

{Kaitlyn}

Saturday we got up early and started butchering chickens. We did 25 of the biggest chickens. We decided that they were a little bit too small so we only did 25. We had that mess done by 9:00 and we were ready to start working on the horse stalls in the barn. So we got all of our tools and started working. We were in the haymow for a while trying to round up the wood. We tore out all the old gates and hauled out all the straw. I got all the boards down from the haymow and then gave them to Levi and then he stacked them. It was 90 degrees outside so we went to U. Jerry’s pool for a couple of hours. In the evening we went to the Sauder picnic. We played some softball. We had a great time!!

Snapping the line so they know where to put the board.
