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!

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!
