The First Day of School

The first day of school went well. The kids were up by 6:30 AM, very sluggish, but dressed and ready for pictures with time to spare. This would be Jayden's first day wearing her new glasses too. I said a prayer and sent them on their way. I am proud of me as I really wanted to follow the bus and walk them to class and make sure they got where they needed to be, Jake in particular. Luke watched from the window wishing he could go too.

After school the kids were excited to tell of their day. Jake summed up his day in one sentence and you have to pry information out of him. He doesn't tell you anything unless you ask specific details. Mark and I also gave Allie her very own cell phone after school. She was so excited.

The school day went well, however during the day I had lots of errands to run and had our babysitter Chelsey watch Luke. She has been coming on and off Tuesday and Thursdays all summer. After she left, we discovered we had been victims of theft. The rest of the night was unpleasant as we convinced Chelsy to bring back all the cash and belongings, along with a sheriff here to discuss things. Jayden was such an awesome trooper, she stayed in the house doing everything she could to distract Jacob so he never knew anything was going on. It really affected Jayden as she had her hard earned money stolen too. She couldn't sleep all night. It was very sad and disappointing to go through all of 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.
