Sick Boy


In the wee hours of the night, Luke awoke coughing and could not catch his breath. It was kind of scary as he took short fast breaths. He was also burning up with fever. We put him in our bed and I continued listening to him breath all night without getting to sleep. In the morning he seemed to breath better, but I was worried about pneumonia. He coughs so much and it seems deep. I took him to the doctor in the morning and she checked him over and ordered an x-ray. I got to set in on his x-ray as he stood super still with his hands over his head. It was cute and he was so big and brave telling me,”It didn’t even hurt.” He didn't have anything obvious, but an ear infection so antibiotics were ordered. Back at home he took a 3 hour nap and lots of coughing. Throughout the day I was given kisses on the cheek and told “I love you”. I think it was his way of showing me he was thankful for me taking care of him while he was sick. I must have heard “I love you” a dozen times today at random times. I love it.
The weather has been crazy in areas of Kentucky and Indiana. This week there were numerous tornadoes, F4 and massive destruction and lots of deaths. The destruction has been all over the news. So many stories of survivors and damage. It is so early for tornado season.

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.
