SKG Date #7





Jayden and I set out to Ames to have our #7 Secret Keeper Girl (SKG) date. The topic of discussion was how God gives us "garmets" for us to wear that give us internal beauty and how our hair is an expression of our internal garmet of submission. The challenge was to go to a salon and have a fun hair style. Little did we know when we left the house, the entire city of Ames was flooded. A mom on a mission can get to the mall with determination, and that we did. The first part of our day was Jayden’s hair cut and style. The plan was to have a fun hair do. Jayden was in need of a hair cut too, so it worked out well. Jayden picked a curly hair style and looked like Goldie Locks when she was finished. As her hair worked down, she looked like a little rock star and loved the feeling of being all dolled up. We did some clothes and shoe shopping in the mall, along with trying on some dresses for fun . With the floods, there were few stores open and few customers. It was almost like we had the mall to ourselves.

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.
