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

Happy Birthday Josh

Ceci never lacks for attention when she’s here.

Love this picture. Levi was singing here, that’s why the funny expression. I still like the picture though!

First time I’ve ever seen a birthday gift (or any gift for that matter) wrapped in toilet paper. Guess it worked though.

Ceci was enthralled with Kiowa. So cute!

Jacob got a hovercraft for Josh. Ceci was mesmerized, and even Kiowa was watching it.

Somehow a sensor on the thing keeps it hovering 12” or so above anything that’s placed under it. Pretty cool. Except sometimes the thing would go crazy  - flying all over the place, tumbling and crashing, totally uncontrolled by the remote. Too much fun!

Josh has been needing a cd/cassette player for a while. He really was excited although he doesn’t look like it.

P1180377

And he wanted this jump rocket for Christmas so was pretty excited to get it for his birthday instead. It flew pretty high outside and didn’t even land on the roof! (yet)

P1180378

But this bb gun from Jesse was his favorite gift!

P1180380

Dad even had to help on the “stupid” puzzle. It’s coming right along.

P1180382

An interesting perspective of the hovercraft.

that’s it
