Fiesta Bowl

Well, I'm writing this post during the 3rd quarter of the game and things have definitely turned for the worse.  I'm actually listening to the game on the radio since we don't get ESPN in this house.  We had been watching at my in-laws' house, but I got to bring the girls home for bed - sigh.  Such is life with small children and no cable!  It doesn't appear that K-State will pull this one out, but we did see Chelan's sister on TV (her family was in the end-zone on the 2nd row - and she was taking a picture - no surprise there).  :)

We also saw Weston get at least one hit tonight!  To think that he's out there on that field tonight - it's amazing!  He's such a testament to hard work and perseverance -- we're definitely proud of our hometown guy.  The kids are looking forward to his visit at school.  He'll be talking to them about his experiences on the team and some of the good works the team does around their community.  What a great testimony for Caiden to hear - he doesn't realize how rare a thing this actually is!

I guess this season is about wrapped up, but we'll be ready and waiting for next Fall!  As for now - I'm heading to bed.  I have to be up early again tomorrow to sub in 2nd grade for Weston's mom.

All decked out in purple!
"I'm so excited!"

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...

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!
