Mother's Day


 It was a beautiful day to celebrate Mother’s Day. I am thankful for my mother and all the wonderful things she does for me and helps me with. This week she came down and filled my planters with flowers in front of my house. My kids get to enjoy her so much too. We went to church in Ames , then went through and got some lunch to go at  KFC . We headed to  Ledges park in Boone, had our lunch on a blanket, did some hiking through the trees, played a little ball and took a rest on the blanket. The entire time I layed on the blanket, I had giggly kids climbing all over me. The sun was shinning and it was perfect out.  The road into Ledges park was closed, so we only got to enjoy a small corner of it. Back at home, Mark and I took a horse ride to end the day. What a great day. I am so blessed to be a mom and have such a great family.

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.
