SKG Mom & Daughter Date #1

I got a book for Jayden’s birthday called “Secret Keeper Girl” and it is dates with your daughter. Each date has a devotion and a lesson in it. Jayden was sooo excited about going on these dates just mom and her. She couldn’t wait for our first date to have tea. I planned it out to go to Ames to the tea room. Things were a little more rushed than I had hoped, but it was still very special. We had hot cocoa instead of tea and peppermint and sugar cookies. The lesson compared the fine china tea cups with a throw away styrofaom cup and comparing beauty. How we ourselves should be like that of fine china and not a throw away cup in how we dress, act, and our appearance. After our tea party, I called home to see how daddy was getting along with the boys and how he felt about watching them late so Jayden and I could go see the Nutcracker. We got last minute tickets and sat in the balcony side seats. It was a very special night just Mommy and Jayden.We both enjoyed it.

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.
