Team Penning



Today Jayden, Mark, and I went to Dayton for a team penning. My Dad ans Lynn E. joined us for the day also. . It was a very hot day and My mom and Alice brought the boys to watch for several hours. I am thankful my parents and Aunt Alice are very supportive and like to come and watch. Jayden always likes to know someone is watching too. We figured out some different teams and got ready to roll. We all had a good time competing. Mark is pretty hard core competitive and was out for a buckle. Jayden was on a youth team that was a pretty tough team. Her, Makenna, and Cheyenne had a time of 25 seconds on one head, which beat the adults. Jayden went in and sorted the steer out and was a key part in their win. It was awesome to see those three girls compete. They are all very good riders and got a plaque for penning and a trophy for sorting- they earned it. They also has individual sorting and penning events. Mark sorted in 17 seconds and missed winning it by 1 second.

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.
