Easter 2008






Each Easter morning starts out with an egg hunt. The Easter bunny leaves certain colored eggs for each child and they have fun finding all their eggs. We then get dressed in our Easter clothes and go to church for rolls and juice then church. Next we head to Karen and Orrie’s for a big dinner. Luke was so cute in his baby blue outfit with little shoes. Jake was in blues to match also. Jayden had on her pretty flower dress that I just love. I am so lucky to have such beautiful healthy children. God has truly blessed me. One challenge I have with the kids is keeping the Easter Bunny from taking away Jesus and his dying on the cross. As children, the excitement is all in the bunny and the eggs. We have resurrection eggs that we do to help teach the kids the true meaning behind Easter that they enjoy.
Being so close to Karen’s birthday, we celebrated her birthday also. Karen loves to play cards and the game sequence, so the grand kids gathered around for a game with her.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
