Discovering Trash

-
Jonathan has discovered our kitchen trash lately and has created some pretty interesting treasure hunts for the rest of us! I remember two of the other children playing this game too, but he is sure really into it right now. We have a small table and chairs in the kitchen and the boys usually sit there for lunch. Today I made him a hot dog and he didn't want it (he usually enjoys them). He pushed his plate away and I put it back in front of him, told him he had to eat it and walked away. When I turned back, he was dumping it into the trash - bowl and all! I couldn't believe it. Here is a small list of some of the other interesting things we have discovered in our trash can lately:
  • craft scissors
  • a remote control to the DVD player
  • Ashlyn's headband for school
  • magnets from the fridge
  • kitchen utensils
  • misc toys like cars and trains
  • a book from John's bookshelf

Not sure what others things have got passed us that will be "missing" soon. We'll keep you posted on stopping this game quickly and any other interesting things we discover along the way...

What a silly little guy you got there! Aaron has only put a few things into the trash, so far. Usually he is digging IN the trash and pulling things out! Definitely disgusting! Hopefully he hasn't put anything too important in there like your keys or something! I guess you'll find out soon. :)

Abby loves playing that game as well. We have told ourselves several times that Abby has a very good hiding place but we think it might be in the trash can. We have lost a very important remote control which controls the DVD player!! We have to lock up the dog food and trash can everyday... It's fun having a 2 1/2 year old.HAHAHA

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
