Double Digits!

This girl is T--E--N!!
Her celebrations with family had been strung out over a couple of weeks, so there was not a lot planned on her actual birthday.  It turned into quite an eventful day anyway!  Cambry discovered a snake in our basement -not a good surprise.  And, we had about 5.5" of rain during the day - water everywhere!!
See the snake?  She refused to handle the container!
The lake in our yard!

Since we had already celebrated with family, we invited Pat and Amy and their kids over for cake (red velvet, per Cambry's request).  They braved the torrential rains and high water and made their way over.  And, they did make it home okay afterwards, although the last half mile or so was in a tractor!   I think it was fun for Cambry to have some special guests over!

Cambry took this with her new camera!
Apparently, it was "Red Nose Day!"
(an actual thing)

We gave Cambry a new camera and a hammock - both of which she has enjoyed already.  The hammock had to wait until two days later - after things had dried out!


Ten years have gone by in a blink!  At age 10, Cambry looks forward to art days at school, she has no fear when it comes to performing or speaking in front of others, she has a pen pal to whom she has been writing for about a year, and the clarinet is a new challenge heading her way!

God has blessed her with many creative gifts - gifts we are looking forward to seeing her develop in the years to come!

We love you Cambry!

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...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

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)
