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!

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

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
