Busy Days

October is very busy on the farm - wheat to be sown, soybeans to be harvested, and milo to cut.  Not to mention bringing the cows home from the pastures and getting ready to feed them at home.  Yesterday, Chelan sowed wheat all day!  Caiden actually helped to load the drill with wheat before Chelan took off for the fields.  Chelan was thrilled with the very straight rows in the field (due to the new GPS system on the tractor).  He and Caiden enjoyed some bonding in the tractor for a few hours in the afternoon while they listened to the K-State game (an awesome K-State win, by the way).  By 8:30 p.m., Chelan was back home and watched most of the game on TV (which I had taped)!  All in all, a good great day!
2006 - Caiden was 2 years old

2007 - Caiden was 3, Cambry was 1

2011 - Caiden is 7 and old enough to help


Straight rows!

Discussing things in the dark - we finally made it out to see Chelan around 7 p.m.

Dancing on the drill?

Happy to see Dad!

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...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
