Goodbye Grandma



Sunday, Jayden and I met up with Laura and Austin to practice their song. Austin plays the guitar and does an excellent job. Laura and Jayden sang together. They both sound so good together. Jayden has never sang with someone and had a hard time at first. They ended up tweeking some things and making some changes that in the end sounded great.
The visitation was very nice. It was an open casket, which was hard for me. It really hits when I saw her. The flowers were so nice and pictures everywhere and a slide show. There were lots of visitors that came and went. Some friends, some distant family I have not seen in over 20 years. Jake and Luke did a lot of roaming around. Luke playing with cousin Alivia and Jake sad that he would never see Great Grandma again. It was his first funeral and he was sad and sweet. There was a catered meal from Hickory Park after. Jake was still on the sick side and isn't eating much.
Monday morning was the funeral. We arrived early so Jadyen and Laura could practice in the church. They did an outstanding job! They sang " I Surrender All" which is now one of my favorite songs. I still get nervous for Jayden, she doesn't. James played the piano and sang "Amazing Grace" at the end.
The funeral was nice and sad at the same time. It is always hard to lose someone you love, however knowing we will be together again is heartwarming. I will miss my Grandma.

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.
