Happy 4th!

-
We celebrated the 4th yesterday with John's family. Aunt Carol and Rylee were there this year which was very fun. Uncle Chris went to CO to see some family and friends a little earlier than Carol. We ate dinner and lit some fireworks in the front yard. The funny part of that was when we were lighting the snakes. Ashlyn commented that they really looked more like worms and Jonathan insisted they looked like poop coming out the of the wood. That really did affect the rest of the snake portion of the Hanson fireworks show! After fireworks, we headed to our annual Kearney fireworks program. It was as amazing as last year and had just as much traffic when we left.

Today we got caught up on our Insanity workout, picked up the house, and then headed over to the Knorr's house. The kids swam, played outside, and we BBQed. Then we headed over to the Smithville Park playground for some football and playground fun. The sunset was spent by the lake and then the fireworks reflected on the lake. It was very relaxing and a great show. I took tons of pictures this year so I will share those tomorrow. We hope you all had a great 4th too!

We also had a similar discussion about the snakes. The girls thought they were cool but Jacob just pointed and yelled POOP every time we lit one.:)

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...
