KSU vs. KU

When we got tickets for the K-State/KU football game a few weeks ago, we were really nervous about the weather.  Little did we know it would be a beautiful, sunny, 70+ degree day!  What a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon!  And this time we took a few first-timers along.

As we neared the stadium, I told Finn to watch for the "castle."  When we rounded the corner his eyes got wide and he said, "You're right, it DOES look like a castle!"  It was fun to share this experience with the California crew and our friends, Pat and Jake.  The day was even better since K-State totally dominated from the get-go!

Did I mention that it was really sunny?
Did I also mention that we had to stand almost
the whole game?  Luckily for the littlest fans, there
were some strong arms around!
This guy was busy doing a lot of push-ups!
K - S - U Wildcats!

First-timers!
It was Senior Day - which meant it was Weston's last home football game.  We'll always be cheering for K-State, but it's definitely not going to be the same next year.  We've gotten accustomed to watching for #17 during the kickoffs and punts.  Thank you, Weston, for being somewhat of a small-town ambassador during your years at K-State.  You have represented your family and your community extremely well!  And you have been an example for us to point Caiden to when it comes to hard work and persistence!

I wonder what Coach Snyder had to say!
The families all lined up to greet the seniors - Weston's family is in the
middle.

The whole team made a lap around the stadium after the game.
The kids got to high-five all of them!

The highlight for the kids may have been playing on the field after the game.  Weston's dad told us that in their experience, K-State has been the only Bix XII stadium to allow people onto the field after games.  Caiden's dream is to play on there for real someday!  :)  For now, he'll settle for tackling his cousins!

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!
