Bowling








Jan 17 Today would be my last day before surgery and the didn’t have school. I wanted to make the most of it, have a family day, and not worry about tomorrow. We drove to Des Moines to the Bass Pro shop. We did some shooting at the shooting range, went bowling and had lunch. It was a great time had by all. Jake was the most fun to watch at bowling. He would take the ball run with it and just throw it out there and most of the time he hit all but one or two pins. He ended up with the high score of the game. It was a nice distraction and relaxing time. I had one doctor appointment before heading home. Later, our Stratford Pastor and wife came to pray with me for tomorrow. I also had talks and prayers with the kids. I gave them each a stuffed animal to hug while mommy could’nt give hugs.
I didn’t sleep well last night and I knew tonight would be worse. I am keeping my mind busy and not trying to worry and think too much about the details. I know what I am about to do is going to affect the rest of my life. I know it is going to allow me the chance to live a life without the worries of breast and ovarian cancer. I want to be here for my kids and grandkids.
I am nervous and a little anxious, and want it to be done and over. I wish I could fast forward 2 weeks. I am expecting great pain and discomfort. I am not looking forward to it.

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.
