Mini Pony


 Monday was seprepentine practice, Mark went with and watched with the boys. We brought home a new miniature horse.  A friend had this adorable mini that she was ready to pass on to a new home. She sold him to us for a dollar and wants to buy him back when we are finished. Not sure what I am getting into with the little critter. After taking a few cart rides with him, we all fell in love. After a few days we slowly let the big horses together with Midnight to see how they would all get along. The mare Jessie went to attacking him and took him to the ground. She was so mean. The pony also was not at all ridable. We tested that out by giving Luke a little ride bareback. Thankfully Mark was holding Luke and grabbed him off before he was tossed in the air. We have a good video of that one. With all things combined we decided it was best to return the mini. It was sad to see it go because it was so darn cute, but it was for the best.

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.
