More Snow!

Believe it or not, we ended up having 4 snow days in a row - amazing!  We actually handled them pretty well, but I'm weary of bundling up a 2 year old only to have her make it outside for about 3 minutes.  Luckily, Caiden and Cambry are old enough to get dressed on their own.  And Caiden and I got pretty good at starting fires in the shop stove so we could play basketball!  A second snowstorm blew in on Monday afternoon, and the result was absolutely beautiful when we woke up on Tuesday morning!  It was a much wetter snow and it piled up on everything.  I'm also including pictures from some sledding over the weekend.  Caiden hit the hills, but Cambry was content to watch!



A Winter Wonderland
This is the fence around our chicken pen
Sledding with his cousin, Mace.  They were working on building a jump!
I know the cows are made for the outdoors, but I still feel sorry
for them in weather like this - well maybe not the cows so much
as the new baby calves!  I took this picture for the trees
in the background.
The piles of bladed snow are like mountains!
This snow was good for snowballs!
Even Delaney tried her hand with the snowballer!

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!
