Fair Time!

Cambry was busy throughout July getting ready for the Marion Co. Fair.  She sewed one skirt and made 2 different recipes to be judges - monster cookie bars and a cereal mix.  She definitely wasn't thrilled ALL the time to be working on these things, but I am proud of how she finished.  And we have to give a huge thank you to Grandma for helping Cambry get started on her skirt.  Without her, there would not have been a sewing project!!  We found out at the judging yesterday that her skirt was actually quite difficult for a beginner.  This not-so-great-at-sewing mom just doesn't know these kinds of things.

She ended up with 2 blues on her foods projects and a blue ribbon for her skirt!  She was disappointed with a red for her styling, but she shouldn't be - she did a great job!   Even more importantly, she met a new friend during the day - who just happens to be the daughter of our farm's "seed guy!"

I don't know if we'll convince her to try these projects again for next year, but I'm proud of her for persevering to the end!





Grandma even came to the judging!  Cambry had a
very kind and helpful judge!

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)
