Match of the Broncs/Finished Planting


 Today was the first Match of the Broncs Rodeo that the serpentine girls performed in. The girls had to be to the arena for a serpentine practice at 11. The rodeo started at 1:00 and I was to help run the youth barrel racing and flags. I was nervous in the beginning as things seemed very unorganized. I ended up taking money and entries to fill in until help arrived. We also set up the electric eye last minute. I was at the gate with running order list. All in all the day went well. The serpentine riders looked great. The girls did a super job and looked so nice in their hot pink and black outfits. Jayden did barrels and flags on Jessie too. She was pleased for her first time. Today was also a big day as Mark finished planting!! We stopped at Grammer’s on the way home and Jayden discovered two neglected orphan kittens. I thought it was not what we needed now that all our cats are fixed. I couldn’t bear to see them die. One was so small, cold, and bony. I didn’t think it could make it through the night. The other kitten was bigger, but sickly and both had matted gross eyes. They were both girls of course. I took them both home, put them on a heating pad in the house and made homemade kitten milk I found online.  The smallest one we put milk on its tongue and forced a swallow. That was it. I prepared Jayden that it would most likely not live through the night. We got about a half syringe into the bigger cat. That night Jayden had a birthday party with her friend Carson from 5 to 10PM. I picked her up and she fed the kittens again. I told her she really needed to get up in the night to feed them. The little one was so sick looking and breathing really slow. At 4Am Jayden woke me because she was afraid to go in and find the little one not alive. It was alive and we were able to get a few drops down it.

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.
