Sick Boy

I went to get Jake up as I do each morning and he is always sluggish. This morning I let him sleep in and I kept going in to wake him. He told me he just wanted to lie in bed all day. He came out and sat on the chair not wanting to eat. This was very unlike him as he always goes straight to the table to eat. It didn’t dawn on me for awhile when finally I felt him and he was hot, temp of 102. He said his throat was sore and that was all. I felt he needed to be seen. I made the appointment, took the other two to Karen’s and headed to Ames. On the way Jake threw up. In his 5 years this was the first. He never cried or complained, I could just tell he was miserable. This was our first time with new Dr. Halbur. She checked him for strep throat and that is what he had. We got him on some antibiotics right away. Back home he laid around and got sick once more before it was over. 24 hours later, Jake was 100% feeling better.

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.
