Happy Birthday Jake #6

Today our Jacob turned 6. He has really matured in the last few months and we are noticing it more and more. We sang to Jake when he woke up this morning, but I have to admit all the excitement of his birthday was over and he was a bit bummed. We had his party last weekend and I let him open his gifts from us yesterday so he would have a chance to play with them before school. He got a drawing easel as he loves to draw and he got a Leapster game player. I had to pry that out of his hands as he was glued to it.
Without presents to open I also felt bad as I had really wanted to go to school and have lunch with him today, but with everyone in the field I didn’t have anyone to watch Luke and I had to take out lunches. I wanted to make his after school time special, so I decorated the kitchen and a little cake. I also found some little gifts I wrapped up that I said were from Luke. We had his little cake which was green with yellow frosting. We also had yellow corn, green peas and yellow cheese on cheeseburgers for supper. Jake is a very energetic kid, he likes to have things to keep him busy. He has a big imagination and likes to build and create. He is very bright and picks up on things really well. He is full of silliness and likes to make us laugh.

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.
