Good-Bye 7, Hello 8!

This little lady turned 8 on Memorial Day!  She has been very excited about her birthday for a VERY LONG TIME!  She reminded us every day how many more days were left - we were ALL glad when her birthday finally rolled around!  We didn't do anything big - just family over for cake and ice cream.

She requested a piano cake, and in true Cambry style - a blue one!  Did you know that the public library has cake pans to check out?  I couldn't believe there was a piano cake - but that's what we used!  And, as always, Chelan did the amazing decorating job.  I think we finally figured out that his welding skills give him great hands for  decorating!!

Although it was quite a simple day, she said over and over again what fun she had!

We are thankful for her creative talents, her giving spirit, and her silly antics - God has blessed her with truly unique gifts, and we are excited to see how she will use them as she continues to grow!
Favorite meal - Broccoli & Bow Ties (in this case, however, Broccoli
& Penne).
Delaney gave her this poster - big "Frozen"
fans at this house!  I love how they
are looking at each other in this picture!

She loves her new beanbag!

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

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!

July Highlights

July was a slow, meandering stroll through mid-summer. Slow as it was, there were some highlights: Lots of raspberries to pick - what a delight! Kenya continues to grow and learn how to take walks: Delaney loved her week at Camp Menno! Delaney and Jenna attended the KSU Volleyball camp: All 5 of us were in the SAME place at the SAME time to attend a beautiful wedding! Cambry found success at the Marion Co. Fair one last time with 4 purples and 1 red on her photos. Two of those purples turned into a Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion in her respective classes. Fun fact, as an assistant, she sat with her future art professor as he judged photos! Delaney and I were "guest readers" at the little kids' Splish Splash Party at church: Last but not least - the Paris Olympics started! We watched the opening ceremony at Vanessa's. I took an olympic flag fruit pizza to share with everyone: Next up: a busy month of transitions!
