First Winter Snow Storm

They were predicting 14 inches of snow and 50 mile hour winds by afternoon. We knew the forecast and Mark wanted the kids to just stay home. Sure enough the school was letting out at 11:30, so there wasn’t much sense sending them. The snow came down and the winds came up. Nights like this make you very appreciative of a warm house and electricity!! By morning the next day, all schools were closed and we were snowed in. The kids still ventured outside several times to be in the snow and play with the cats in the old garage. It was cold and the wind sounded so chilling. Wed. night we saw the kids school closed again for Thursday. We watched tv and played the game Life. Luke also started a fever and I wonder what was wrong. He just wanted to be held and rocked. He would say ouchie and I ask him to show me where it hurts and he signs hurt. Poor little guy. Thursday morning bitter cold -11, brrr. Mark got out the tractor bright and early to begin scooping snow. Jake jumped out of bed when he heard the tractor and headed out to ride. Luke saw Jake head to the tractor and the tears flowed. He cried so hard, more than ever. He kept saying, “Tractor, Ride, Daddy.” I felt so bad. He also still has a fever.

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.
