Horse Plans


Jayden and her friend Makenna got on a kick about teaching riding lessons. The two of them have decided that they will give horse riding lessons to kids in their school. She made up permission slips and the whole works. She has been talking about it non-stop and they have been making big plans, including an agenda for each lessons, snacks, and cost. They are charging $1 for a month of lessons. Pretty good deal I would say. They made a calendar of the dates and topics to be covered. She kept asking me over and over if she could do it. I hated to be the bad mom and tell her it just isn’t possible, so I kept saying we will see. She is the kind of kid that will not forget and will do everything she can to make it work. I think it is cute and sweet that they are being so creative. I told her that we could try and do a one day lesson with bothers and horses. They seem to be okay with that and now are making all the plans.

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.
