4-H Choices




The guys were in the field today, so we stayed home to help with meals. The kids set up the geo tracks train set in the living room and played all day with it. Jayden and Jake play so well together. We did have some troubles with Luke, he likes to be the tornado and tear it all apart. The played the best when he was napping. Jacob woke up and put his cowboy hat on and wore it the entire day. I just love that, it comes with the age, lately he has been wearing a cowboy hat as soon as he gets home from school until he goes to bed.
Today was Jayden’s first 4-H meeting. It has been a very hard decision knowing where to go. There are Boxholm and Pilot Mound clubs that are part of Boone county, therefore the Boone fair. Dayton is where all the cousins go and they are in the Ft. Dodge fair. For practical reasons, I feel going to Boone is the right choice. A 20 minute drive vs. 45 minute drive is one major factor. I was not at all impressed with the Boxholm 4-H club, in fact I was very disappointed. Jayden seems fine with it and ultimately I want her to decide which club. It really shouldn't be this difficult. Also, on the way to the meeting, Orrie pulled me aside and gave me the lecture on how Jayden needs to be showing at Ft. Dodge with the cousins. His main reason was so he wouldn’t have to run to two separate fairs. I am praying for the right club for our kids.

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.
