Cambry turns 4

Another birthday has come and gone -- hard to believe we celebrated Cambry's 4th birthday yesterday! She was pretty oblivious to this fact all day, but Caiden kept reminding her. I think he was almost more excited about it than Cambry was. We did celebrate with grandparents, 1 aunt, and 1 cousin -- those who were around and lived close, anyway!

Caiden gave her a pink, bouncy, outdoor ball first thing in the morning, so they had fun with that during the day. In the evening, we had daisy cupcakes and ice cream. Cambry decided she would rather open presents first than eat cake. So, we did! This year, she thoroughly enjoyed being sung to as opposed to last year when she burst into tears! She's growing up!


I found this idea in one of my recipe books -- just slice marshmallows into 5 pieces using the kitchen shears, and they end up looking like daisies. I thought they turned out sort of cute!

Cambry's new doll -- she has kept Caiden and Cambry quite busy. This doll has eyes that open and close, her tummy moves up and down while she breathes, and she cries and babbles! I'm afraid when our real baby gets here, she will have no choice but to take a pacifier. Every time the doll cries, in goes the pacifier!


I'm 4 years old!


My how she has changed and grown!

    Those cupcakes look awesome! Cambry is so beautiful! I can't believe how fast time goes by. It seems like yesterday that we were holding her in her pjs.

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...
