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

8-31-15 More Cider

by Kate

Saturday morning Wesley, Whitley, and Lainey came for awhile. We had a bunch of kitchen work to do, Jake was in the backyard making cider, and Dad was up at Levi's house working on the porch roof. The work always gets done so much faster when the Sauders are here. :) There was still LOTS of time for goofing off after the work was done.

Jacob had plenty of help making cider.

This is a fun but very unique way of swinging.

I didn’t go but I think some of the kids went to the creek to fish. Their biggest catch was huge! (6 inchesSmile)

Saturday afternoon Mom’s cousin Anne and her family came for the weekend. They came for a wedding on Sunday but came down Saturday and spent the night with us.

Sunday morning singing was nice.

After the wedding reception in Morton, they came back to our house for the afternoon and supper.  Dad, Mom, Levi, Echo, and Jesse also went to the wedding and reception so after church the rest of us kids pretty much just hung out until everyone got back. We had a earlyish supper so Dan&Anne could leave pretty early, but they didn’t end up leaving until 7:00 though. Jewel, Sarah, Amber, and Josh were great friends the whole weekend……they got pretty wild, especially when Jacob went downstairs and played with them. Mom sent the four little kids on several ‘missions’ which if they accomplished they would get a prize. One of the missions was to write these names out of sticks.

Overall it was a great weekend with lots of fun and laughter.
