Family Reunion




This weekend was the big Weilbrenner/ Muench families reunion. Our family headed to Verna Mae and Lavern’s house and arrived mid afternoon Saturday. The kids did some swimming and then everyone headed to the pond for fishing until dark. Everyone took a try at fishing, very few were caught this time. Hot dogs and lots of desserts were shared along with visiting. I always enjoy the triplets and talking with them. Jacob found two little girls 7 & 8 years old and he decided they were his girlfriends. He even picked them a flower. He was pretty cute. Luke was such a mama’s boy, didn't want anyone holding him or near him except mama or daddy. We chased him the whole night. Jayden and Allie and all the kids went with Suzy on a “snipe hunt”. I knew all about that, but the kids all got there first lesson in snipe hunting. Suzy and Tim took the kids out in the pitch dark hayfield in groups of 3 with a bag and left them for about an hour. Of course Suzy and Tim were the only ones who were laughing. Jayden did not enjoy the hunt and later discovered it was a joke. It was pretty late when we got to bed somewhere near midnight.









Day two was more swimming for the kids and a big family and neighbor gathering for lunch. There were some 60 people with fried fish and pies galore. For Mark and I, it was more chasing Luke. He spotted tractors and that was his glory going to see them. Allie went down earlier with Grandma and got to spend a lot of time with Kallie Mae. Late afternoon the adults and a few kids played a game of volleyball. Yes, my Mark is very competitive and took on the entire court. He likes to dominate. All the while Jake was in the pool for hours. He did cannon balls over and over. He had a floaty on as the pool is over his head. Between the pool and jumping on the trampoline both Jayden and Jacob went non-stop until 8:30 at night. They never stopped. It was pretty late getting to bed again. I got Luke and Jake tucked in and sleeping and went to take a shower when Luke woke up and cried screaming for an hour. We gave Tylenol and suspect a leg ache. He kept everyone up past 11.

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.
