In the Kitchen

Since we went to the apple orchard yesterday and we were not going to church today, we started up in the kitchen cooking and baking. Jayden and I were peeling and slicing apples using a little apple slicer tool. The boys were fascinated watching us in chairs set as close as they could get. They got lots of samples too. We were making apple crisp and applesauce. This is the first year I have not been able to use apples from our trees. In the meantime we had rolls in the oven and homemade chicken noodle soup cooking. The kitchen was smelling pretty nice. Mark was taking the day off in the field, so he got to enjoy the yummy food too. Later in the day, Mark took Jayden and the two of them rode the new horses along the creek pasture. They had a nice ride and got along great. I am starting to get excited about these horses.

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.
