Clean Day

4/9/12 The kids had the day off from school and Grandma Karen planned a clean day for the new shop office area. It is near finished and everything is covered in dust from construction. Jayden, Janie, the boys and I got started around 9:30AM. Jake, Luke, and Rylie ran their remote controls around the shop while us girls worked. Karen brought soup for lunch. We wiped down walls, cleaned tile, mopped floors, and vaccumed. We stopped at noon for lunch and the guys had lunch with us. Our first lunch in the new shop. The Anderlik girls finally came after 1, had lunch and helped. We were finished by 2. Next on the list was to take Jayden up to the Dayton arena for a practice ride with Jackson and Jennilee. I hauled Tex for the purpose of having Jayden know how to handle her horse when she is acting up with her buddy tied at the trailer. Sure enough, she acted like a different horse. Jennilee worked with Jayden a lot showing her what to do. In the mean time Tex was at the trailer, pawing the wheel well, knocked off the hub cap, and stuck his nose through the screen window. Wow, these horses get crazy over each other.

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.
