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

League Champs!!

 Delaney and her teammates had an amazing volleyball season! They ended the season undefeated in the Wheat State League, and they only lost 2 matches overall. They had a notable win over Moundridge, 2 wins over Elyria, and THREE wins over Little River - all teams we have had trouble with in the past. They were so fun to watch, working as a team and developing throughout the season, and they ended as the league tournament champs. Thanks to Raechel Boese and Tara Churchill for their work with these ladies. What a fantastic way to end Delaney's middle school volleyball days! The immediate aftermath of a 3-set win over Elyria for  the League Championship! A Team 8th Graders Team Selfie Coaches Churchill and Boese Scenes from the BIG win over Moundridge:

Mid-Summer Happenings

 I'm trying to remember that I craved "slow and easy" days during the school year, and I feel like that's what I've had this summer. It has been refreshing to wake up in the morning and have a flexible to-do list; although I have to admit that some days do feel long. I suppose that helps me appreciate my teaching job! In not particular order, here's what we've been up to: Endless fixing and revamping in the shop: Digging up potatoes and pulling up a generous onion crop! Look at the size of that potato! The 4th of July fireworks were outdone by the sky this year! Enjoying my walks at sunset: Many, many green beans to can and pickle. Thanks to the girls for cleaning and stemming them! I had been keeping tabs on an Oriole nest near the garden, and one Sunday, I witnessed the "fly-away!" It was a noisy affair as the parents and babies kept calling back and forth. I almost can't get over the fact that I had time to stand and watch the whole affair
