Conferences

We met with Jacob’s first grade teacher. For his conference, the AEA counselor and the guidance counselor joined us. Kind of makes you nervous. Mark and I sat and listened and heard all good things. Jake is improving in how he pays attention and gets his work done, two things he really struggles with. He is right where he should be academically and is getting some extra help with his reading. This was such a relief as we have really been worrying about Jake.
Jayden is getting all A’s and her conference was all good of course. In fact, I had to explain to the teacher how she is getting all her work done and spends so much time reading. She can read half a book in a day. These are very thick books that would take a month to read. She has way too much free time and is very bored in school. She hasn’t really been challenged yet. I also met with her band instructor. I am not too impressed with him and I hope that he doesn’t take the fun out of band for Jayden. She isn’t getting many practice hours in per week, only about half of what is expected, however she is way ahead of the class in her book. She is playing all kinds of songs, and playing well!

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.
