A Little of This, A Little of That

Enjoy these random pictures from the last few days!

I made this layered mocha cheesecake for our spring salad supper at church last week!  It was beautiful, but when I cut into it, it was a little gooey inside.  I should have baked it longer.  It didn't affect the taste, though.  Delicious!!  The crust is Oreo cookies, followed by a layer of chocolate cheesecake, followed by a layer of mocha cheesecake, and finished off with a chocolate glaze.

Our girls are super flexible!  I used to be, but as you can see, not so much anymore!  Don't ask me how this happened at supper - it just did!


Well, if my foot is already up here, why not take a taste?


Caiden came running into the house the other day to say he almost stepped on a huge snake!  He actually said he let out a "girl scream" and that Dad did, too!  He snatched the camera and took this picture of a black rat snake.  I've been seeing so many snakes on the road lately.  We're just hoping this one isn't heading for the chicks!  After hearing about the snake incident, I had dreams that night of tigers, jaguars, and panthers trying to kill our chicks!

Yesterday was May Day, so when Cambry got home from school, we made May Baskets.  I used to always do this when I was little.  I remember the Spirea bush was always blooming, so that's what I stuck into mine.  Luckily, I had 2 peonies blooming to put into these baskets.  Cambry was just sure these were for her, but was happy to give them away anyway.  We snuck over to Grandma's and Aunt Kathy's houses to hang them on the door!


The countdown is on!  Caiden decided it looked better if we did "school days" instead of "days" -- a lower number that way!  At the time I'm writing this, it's down to 9 days left!

This is what I made for supper last night -- grilled salmon with teriyaki glaze and garlic/parmesan spaghetti with spinach.  I thought it looked like a meal Rachael Ray might have whipped up.  All Caiden said was, "This is a weird meal, Mom!"

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!

Off and Running!

A month into the school year and everyone seems to be clicking along . . . at least for now! We caught up with Cambry today, now in a room of her own for the very first time! She is enjoying her esports team, particularly making the social media posts and taking pictures for the team. She gets some Rocket League time in as well! And she has access to the art building pretty much when she wants it! Caiden is doing his thing at K-State and at athletic events again. And Delaney is trying to do every possible activity available in high school. Of course, her top priority is volleyball, and right now, her team is 2nd overall in 1A-1 and recently won their home tournament for the first time since 2017! And, Kenya is growing like a weed!
