Cambry Turns 6!

We officially have a 6-year-old!  We've had a 6-year-old for a week now, but I just now have time to sit down and post - it seems like our whole summer got smashed into this one week!  Birthday, swimming lessons, harvest, preparing for VBS almost every night . . .

Anyway, Cambry's birthday was awesome!  I took her and her friend, Jaicee to Build-a-Bear Workshop last Saturday.  It was our first time there, and they had a blast.  I'm sure I heard, "That was so fun at Build-a-Bear!" at least 50 times afterwards.  They each got to choose a bear, stuff it, brush it, and dress it.  You wouldn't believe the wall of stylish outfits for these bears - and how long it takes 2 six-year-olds to choose just the right clothes!

Happy birthday to our sweet, beautiful, creative Cambry!  We love you so much!

Choosing the right clothes

This was a super fun cake to make!  I got the idea from
Everday with Rachael Ray (click for link).  This is
what it looked like going in to the oven.

And here is what it looked like when we cut into it - it looked exactly
like the picture in the magazine!!  You should try it sometime!


Another new bike - this time with a basket!

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)
