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!

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!
