Family Fun at KSU

Football season has arrived!  We headed up to K-State for the first home football game - most of us excitedly, but one, rather reluctantly (Cambry wasn't thrilled with the idea).  Thanks to the Jr. Wildcat Club that Caiden belongs to, we had pretty decent seats for a really great price.  It was warm - very warm!  But that didn't stop Delaney from cheering with her pompoms the ENTIRE game.  Seriously, she only sat down for about 30-45 minutes of the almost 4 hour game.  It was quite something!

Our own little tailgate before heading to the stadium!
Watching the warm-up

For four years, we've been watching Weston Hiebert, our hometown guy, play for the Wildcats.  He went from walking on as a freshman and getting gray-shirted, to suiting up and standing on the sidelines at home games, to making it into a game 2 years ago and starting every game ever since.  Now, in his fifth year, he is one of 6 captains on the team.  Talk about dedication and hard work!  He was featured on the tickets for this game and on the program.  It was so cool to see Goessel, KS printed under his name!  We're definitely going to miss watching him play next year.

Classic stance!

A new high five - the "claw five"

Delaney found a new cheerleading friend!
  All in all, a fun night - with fireworks to top it all off!  Thank you, football season, for arriving!

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...

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)
