Easter Sunday


 Easter morning the kids were up around 8 looking for eggs in the living room. Jake wake up a little bummed and it took him awhile to get excited. The night before he was asking a lot of questions about the Easter bunny and insisted he know the truth. Luke was so excited to find his eggs. The kids each had a clue and had a lego set hiding for them. After breakfast and candy eating, we went to the church in Stratford for a service celebration of the resurrection of our savior Jesus. We have been talking to the kids a lot about Christ dying for our sins. Luke has a palm leaf he made and sings Hosanna, blessed is He show comes in the name of the Lord". It is pretty cute to hear him say it. The kids were all dressed in there Sunday best, Luke and Mark were even matching. After church we went to Karen and Orrie's for dinner. The original plan was to have an outdoor picnic at the park, it was much too windy for that.





The kids made there way out in the wind for some baseball. Jacob had his first baseball game and he went away mad and crying because he wasn't sure what he was supposed to be doing. At the same time he talked non-stop the rest of the day about how he liked baseball and it is his new favorite sport. I then loaded the boys up, Jayden was having too much fun with her cousins to leave, and I headed to my parents. Aunt Alice was back from Albuquerque and this was our first time to see her. It was so nice to see her and have her back home. Dad grilled some burgers and we had dinner. Later the boys and Alivia went outside with Grandpa.  Luke likes to follow and do whatever Alivia does. Jake informed me that Alivia took Luke in the horse pen. Jake gets upset when he tells her not to do something and she just yells at him. She also threw dirt in his face. It really upsets Jake and I can't blame him. I was out with the kids for a short time and was surprised at how fast Alivia can get into trouble, throwing big rocks, climbing on equipment, and telling everyone she can do it because she is older. She is a handful.

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.
