Horsin







Weather was very nice, 65-70’s. I told the kids we would go feed the horses and maybe ride a little. Jake went and got all decked out like a little cowboy with handkerchief and all, and Luke followed. We took some photos at the old barn on the property we bought. What a great photo site. Wish we could keep the barn just for that. Ha! The kids all took turns riding the pony Dakota. We all had lunch with Daddy on the deck and enjoyed the afternoon outside. Late afternoon we had cousin Abby babysit so Mark and I could go to a Bio-diesel party in court avenue of Des Moines. We had social hour at Bill Horan's condo on the 21st floor of the plaza, very nice! Then it was out to dinner at a nice restaurant with a group of around 25. Larry and Rebecca Breeding are moving so everyone toasted to them. Fun time, fun conversation, and good food. Mark enjoys those guys so much and they think highly of Mark too. We had to run through the rain down the streets to find our car at the end of the night. Didn’t get home until midnight.

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.
