Horsin



I took Jayden & Jacob to the arena for a wranglers fun horse show. Aunt Alice came along to help watch Jacob. We got there early so Jayden could ride her pony Dakota in the arena. McKenna Spillman was there ready to ride too. The girls had so much fun riding all over the arena together. It was nice to finally see Jayden having fun and getting to ride with kids her age. When the show started, Jayden was signed up for all kinds of classes. It was a big crowd and the classes were around 15 kids. Jayden did awesome. She placed 3rd in walk trot and she got second in the pleasure class. She did milk can race, barrel, poles, flags. I also rode in a few classes on my good ol horse Joe. He is such a great horse and he is now 22. Jayden did the best I have ever seen her run barrels. She loped the whole pattern and looked great. Jacob too got in on some classes and had a good time. It was a fun night and Jayden was excited over all the ribbons she won.

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.
