Allie

Since Allie has graduated, her life has not been the path we hoped she would chose. After two semesters of school, she dropped or failed her classes. She has kept her job, however McDonald’s is nobody’s dream job. Her home life has been a whirl wind of ups and downs with her mom and Dan separating then getting back together with chaos in the middle of everything. Currently Allie is taking another semester in college and living in the middle of an unstable home. She seems to like drama and wants to be in it. Recently, her little brother was taken from their home and the house was searched and arrests were made. Allie was in the middle of it all. There was a big article that made the front page of the Boone paper about the arrests and now everyone knows. She is headed down a road of disaster. Sadly, at this time in her life, we don’t feel safe even having her around our home. She is 19 and has to live her life and learn on her own. It seems everything Mark and I have ever tried to encourage her and discourage her from seems to go in one ear and out the other. We have tried for years, but she follows in her mother’s shoes. All we can do is pray and that we do. I am scared for her and want so badly to see her make something of herself. It is heartbreaking and we love her and want to put this in the past and help her move forward.

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.
