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.

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

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!

July Highlights

July was a slow, meandering stroll through mid-summer. Slow as it was, there were some highlights: Lots of raspberries to pick - what a delight! Kenya continues to grow and learn how to take walks: Delaney loved her week at Camp Menno! Delaney and Jenna attended the KSU Volleyball camp: All 5 of us were in the SAME place at the SAME time to attend a beautiful wedding! Cambry found success at the Marion Co. Fair one last time with 4 purples and 1 red on her photos. Two of those purples turned into a Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion in her respective classes. Fun fact, as an assistant, she sat with her future art professor as he judged photos! Delaney and I were "guest readers" at the little kids' Splish Splash Party at church: Last but not least - the Paris Olympics started! We watched the opening ceremony at Vanessa's. I took an olympic flag fruit pizza to share with everyone: Next up: a busy month of transitions!
