Christmas 2008


The kids were up at 7. I require them to see daylight outside the window before they can get us up. We woke Luke to see his puffy swollen pink eyes, both of them, no doubt it was pinkeye. He was in pretty good spirits all in all. We set him on his John Deere sit and scoot tractor Santa left under the tree. He wasn’t sure what to think of all the presents and wrapping paper. He was happiest on Daddy’s lap with a cracker to snack on...

Jake was surprised by his John Deere windrower sitting under the Christmas tree from Santa. This is something he has been talking non stop about since summer. He was pretty giddy. Jayden was surprised by an American Girl table and chair set from Santa. The kids had heaps of gifts and stocking stuffers. Too many as usual. At the end we open a gift that contains a small statue of Jesus from my nativity. I want the kids to know that it is the most important gift of all and that is why we celebrate Christmas. We are celebrating the birthday of Jesus.Then we put baby Jesus in the manger with my nativity.

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.
