Happy Birthday Jacob

Today Jake turned another year older. Our little guy is 5 today. In the morning of his birthday he got to open his birthday presents from us. Jake was so excited. He got a John Deere 6 row planter he had been wanting and even a Peterbilt tow truck.
And later , Yes, another party. Exactly what was I thinking!!?? We always have a joined birthday party for the kids with relatives, grandparents, cousins. I knew we couldn’t not have one. I didn’t want to have a big family party with all the extra kids from school too, so we ended up with 3 parties. Oh well, someday the kids won’t want a party, so why not enjoy it. Our house is rather small when we get our families all together, so we thought Happy Joe’s pizza place sounded fun and easy. We took the John Deere decorations and decorated some tables and had green and yellow cupcakes and lots and lots of pizza. Both sides of the families were there, with the exception of the Ferarri family. The kids all had a good time and we celebrated another year of life for Jacob 5 and Jayden 9.

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.
