AWANA













We are well into AWANA and I am helping the Sparks kids again. There is a small group of 5 this year. Small but the most challenging. There are 3 kindergartners that are wild and naughty. They really take a lot out of you in a night. During a recent AWANA the Sparks had a lesson that had to do with carving a pumpkin. Each kid got to have their own pumpkin to decorate with a marker. With Aaron gone, Jacob was the only one that wasn’t a kindergartner. He tend to act like the kids he is around. Luke loves being a Cubbie and does well. He gets pretty wild too and has one little boy that likes to wrestle him to the ground. Luke thinks it is all fun. Jayden is struggling to enjoy her time at AWANA. She is in her last year and doesn’t have any of her friends attending this year. She also has too very mean boys that like to annoy her. This year has been a struggle and we know it will be our last. I think the AWANA program is wonderful, but I see it slowly fading in this church. Sadly there are 4 children in the entire program that do not have a parent or grandparent that helps with AWANA. I think the outreach has gone. I always thought they needed to join with the other churches in the community and outreach and grow.

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.
