Family Reunion








Another year at the Burns and Weilbrenner’s for a big family reunion. It is neat that all our families can get together. We headed south and arrived late afternoon where everyone was heading to the little pond for fishing. The kids love this as they get to have their own fishing pole and find their own place around the pond to fish. Some are lucky and catch a few, others not so lucky. It was also a big wiener roast and meal out in the lawn chairs. Karen and Verna Mae make all kinds of goodies. It was a bit challenging with Luke. Jayden Wasn't afraid of touching worms or the fish. She liked to run around with Carly and Melanie. Jake had talked about going to Chan's house for the past year. He could not wait. HE jumped right in the sandbox and played for hours. He also played with his farm toys in the basement. Jake liked to be around Chandler and talked non-stop about him. He also was super impressed with Uncle Lavern’s tractor he refinished. *Mark told me Jake talked to Jim Alexander and asked him why he doesn’t come help us farm anymore. He asked if it makes him too sad because he misses Uncle Donald too much.
Allie was on her cell phone non stop to her so called boyfriend for the week and her and Kallie Mae girl talked. To end the night, Uncle Lavern took the kids on a dark night hay ride. My kids were tired and went to bed after that, while the others went for a late night swim in the pool after 11PM.

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.
