Winter Activities

 Winter has consisted of a LOT of basketball, with a few other things sprinkled in here and there!  Since Christmas, we have only had 2 full weeks of school. One week was shortened because of Covid, and we've had 3 snow days. Cambry had a week with Covid, and we think Delaney did too, although she tested negative every time. Then, this week, almost 2 years after the pandemic began, I caught Covid on my birthday. Ugghh!  

In the midst of all of this, we have been to a lot of basketball games.  Delaney finished her season up a few weeks ago. She gained a lot of valuable experience this year, having to play against a lot of 8th graders!

Caiden is nearing the end of his last basketball season - although we hope his team can hold on for at least 2 more weeks!  One highlight for him during the winter was being selected with Skyler to be on the all-tournament team at the Burrton Tournament after they won the consolation bracket.  Caiden's biggest highlight, though, would have to be his successful dunk against Centre!





At homecoming, the senior class was recognized. It was fun to see all of them in one place and to hear about their future plans, as well as what they were voted "most likely to. . ."  Thanks to Cambry for videoing Caiden's part: Most likely to be playing fantasy football at age 80!
In between basketball, Caiden squeezed a few Scholars Bowl meets in.  In fact, they placed first at Regionals, made it to the final round at STATE, and finished the year 6th in the state.  What a cool thing that was!
Ready for state to begin:
Audrey, Annalise, Dominic, Caiden, Timothy, Jacob (I think)

Regional Champs! Thanks to Marcia and Braden for
coaching this group of seniors!


Cambry gave her annual winter 4H project talk - this time on sanding wood and different kinds of sanders.  She planned it all without me really looking at it, and she did a good job.  She has come a long ways since 3rd grade!

While this has seemed busy, I know one thing. . . Spring will feel even busier!!

    Oh I love that Cambry did that presentation and did it without help-those are amazing skills she is gaining!

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!
