Frontier Pageant

The Fort Dodge Frontier Days has a pageant for kids to earn the title of Little Mr. and Mrs. Frontier Days. When Jayden and Jake were both 3 I entered them in the pagent. Jayden won and earned her title. Jacob got a tophy for the best appearance. Today was Luke’s turn. He is such a happy go lucky funny kid that we were excited to see him on stage. We prepped him to sing his name song when they asked his name. “L-U-K-E that spells Luke”. Both Grandparents and out family were all there to watch. Luke fell asleep on the car ride there. I thought that would be a good thing as he would be all rested. WRONG< he was not in a good mood after the nap and I eve let him have candy trying to sweeten him up. By the time he was headed to the stage, he did not have a smile in him. He was sober faced and quiet. On stage he would not smile , he did give a little wave. You can see his face expression in his photos. Oh well, he looked cute as can be in his wranglers, boot, hat, belt and western vest.

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.
