Pet Parade



Today was the First Grade Pet Parade. The kids get to bring a pet to school at the end of the day, tell about it, then take it outside where all the other school grades walk by to see it. I remember this from when Jayden was in first grade and taking our golden retriever Daisy. She was young, big, hyper, and strong. I fought her the entire time and did not enjoy it. For the last couple weeks we have been deciding what pet, most likely cat, to take. Just this week, Jacob caught a tree frog and kept it in a nice little box we got. I thought that would be such a great and easy idea for pet week and Jake agreed. As the week went on, we continued to find and catch tree frogs. Every night after dark, you could find tree frogs sticking to our house windows catching bugs on the outside. By Friday, we caught 7. The frogs were a hit, as ¾ of the pets were big dogs. The kids were very interested in Jake’s frogs, and they were easy to handle. Luke got to tag along with me for the pet parade too.

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.
