A relaxing campout

-



4 creative minds came up with this activity after a fun day of garage sales. We got so many awesome deals....a brand new cedar chest for $25 (which will be passed down to Ashlyn), tons of Plaza clothes for me for $1 each, some tennis rackets for $1 each, 3 new lamps - $7 for all 3, hanging planter baskets - 4 for $1, light sabers and big horse - $1 each, some American Girl gifts for Christmas ($7 and $10 for those), a birthday bike for Jonathan for $5 and a table runner and huge gorgeous fabric for .50 each. I'm sure I am missing others, but these were some favorites. We went to a huge neighborhood one most of Friday morning in the rain and then 3 others on Sat. It was a lot of fun. I'll try to post some pics of the cedar chest. My mother-in-law is buying it for me for my birthday :)

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.

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...

Let me begin by saying that we have tried all three of the typical education systems available to us.  We have used private school, public school, and homeschooling full time. We do not have a favorite right now nor do we think one is the perfect system to use, but we have sure seen the benefits of all three. Today I wanted to write about our public school system. We are in a really good school district.  Our high school is ranked #6 in Missouri. We have been so impressed with both our elementary and middle school we have used.  One of my favorite things about Line Creek Elementary is the staff there and the opportunities for extra staff to help our children succeed.  Because of Caleb's speech disorder and delay he had from age 2 to 6, we knew that he would need some special education classes in elementary school.  We have to report that Park Hill has done an AMAZING job in this area!! One big advantage to the new Common Core curriculum implemented in our di...
