Last Pictures from Christmas Break

One of Delaney's gifts was a trip to Build-a-Bear - something she's been wanting for a long time.  Last week, we all ventured to Wichita to drop Chelan's parents off at the airport.  Then, we headed across town to Build-a-Bear Workshop.

As we walked into the mall, Chelan and I realized we don't take the kids out much.  They were wide-eyed at all the activity, not to mention the escalators!  We had to ride an escalator up just so we could come back down!  It made me chuckle.

Delaney enjoyed picking out a pink bear, stuffing it, giving it an air bath, and then picking out clothes.  It was fun to watch how many times she changed her mind about outfits!  In fact, I was having so much fun I forgot to take many pictures!  Cambry also had fun picking out new clothes for her bear with some of her Christmas money.

Our next stop was Red Robin - so good!  I think only Caiden had been there with us before.

I know it's okay that we don't go out very often, but it felt good to be out and about together as a family - even if Chelan had to endure a little shopping!

And one last picture from New Year's Day:  My new year's cookie glazer was reading on the job!

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!
