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!

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...

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...

Season: Winter

Here we are, almost at the end of the basketball season, and I haven't updated a thing since fall! We have enjoyed watching Delaney play this year, and it was a big surprise to see her starting the first game of the season. . . and every game after! Their season has had some ups and downs, but one highlight for sure was earning 3rd place at the mid-season Centre tournament! Keep up the good work, Delaney! During Christmas break, I took very few pictures, but we enjoyed a very low-key break at home. At the end of it, we had a giant ice/snowstorm that actually delayed us going back to school for a couple of days! It was Kenya's first snow and it was sure fun to watch her figure it all out! In January, Delaney got her first piece of actual mail from a Division 2 school, inviting her to a volleyball showcase. This felt like a pretty big deal! Cambry has been busy in the art building at Hesston College. She has created several ceramics pieces and enjoyed showing us the other d...
