Jayden's 11th Birthday





11 years ago today our little baby girl arrived 7 weeks early and 4lbs. As new parents, we had a lot to learn and didn’t have any time to prepare. She has amazed us over and over ever since then. She has been exceptional on so many levels. We love her dearly and thank God for giving us such a wonderful gift.
The kids had no school and I took the boys to my parents for the night, so Jayden could have a birthday night out with Mom and Dad. We had a special night planned for her. We took her out to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. Along with her birthday dinner, we also had her SKG date. This was to be a date with Mom & Dad and we had questions to answer. I also had a special gift for Jayden for the last SKG date. I gave her a cross necklace that belonged to me. It was given to me for my confirmation. She also got a big birthday hooping and hollering too while seated on the birthday saddle at the restaurant. Jayden’s request was to go to the Bass pro shop, which we did. We looked around and shot guns at the shooting range. Once again, I scored higher than Mark, which I think is so funny. He is so competitive and can’t handle getting beat. To finish the night, we got a little taste of fudge.

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.
