All in a summer's day

Wow, Today is the first day that we can relax after a crazy week of dance. It feels like summer break has finally began. However, we didn’t sit back and relax today, things were on the go all day. The kids and I cleaned out the horse barn, burned feed bags, and hauled Dakota over to join the new paint horses. In the process, a kitten jumped out of the hay loft and Grandma and Grandpa’s and the kids caught it. So… now we have a new kitten named Popcorn. The kids made a few rounds with Daddy in the tractor side dressing nitrogen on the corn. While Luke took a nap, Mommy mowed, while Jayden babysat and Jacob played with his new friends, 6 new toads. We squeezed in frying some homemade donuts(took two days to make)that were delicious, so we had to deliver a few. At the grain leg we stopped to see the excavator dumping dirt in the dump truck along with the cement mixer pouring cement for the new grain dryer. It is always a happening place at the grain bins lately. Then we picked strawberries out of the garden, mmmm! Next we were on the road for swimming lessons in Boone at 6PM. It will slow down won’t it?

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.
