Fall Sports Wrap-Up

Well, it seems full-time teaching has taken a toll on keeping up with my blog!  Last night, I had a chance to chat with almost all of my students' parents at p/t conferences.  I actually enjoyed it, and the time flew by!  Thankfully, today is a day off and I'm trying to catch up on things here at home.

Last week, both Cambry and Caiden finished up volleyball and football.  Along with teaching, I took on coaching the 5th grade rec. volleyball team.  It wasn't a huge time commitment and I really enjoyed seeing how much they improved.  It still isn't Cambry's favorite thing, but I hope she continues in jr. high.  The girls were amazing!  They ended up 6-4, I think.  It will be fun to watch them in the coming years!




Summer, Alece, Miranda, Jaicee, Liz, Alyson, Cambry,
Delaney ("manager")
 Last Thursday was Caiden's last football game.  They were so far ahead by halftime that Caiden got to play quarterback the whole 2nd half.  He even scored 2 touchdowns!  It was so much fun to watch and we appreciated the coaches allowing them to play when we could have 45-ed the other team easily! Those boys will be fun to watch as well - there are some talented 7th graders out there! (thanks to Dale Wiens for these photos).
#18 going after the defense!  If I remember right, he didn't
quite get to him on time. . .


Life on the farm continues as well - it is finally dry enough to work in the fields.  That means beans are being cut and wheat is being sown.  In fact, Caiden is out on the tractor now planting all by himself!  Yikes!!  Soon enough, things outside will slow down and we'll settle into a new routine again.  I am thankful for these days when I can catch my breath - even if it's a short breath!

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)
