Day with Jake

Jake and mommy had an all day shopping outing just the two of us.  Jake and I very seldom get a day just the two of us. He wore his favorite shirt the one with an eagle and the Isaiah 40:31 verse written across it. He wears that shirt weekly. We went to Des Moines to look for school clothes and shoes.  For our lunch, Jake got to pick where we ate and he said "the food court where they have the giant pizza slices", so that’s what we had. We also had a little ice cream snack later in the day. Jake would randomly give me hugs during the day. It was fun to have time just with him, he is a sweetheart.  Jake got his hair cut, new clothes, new shoes, new cowboy boots, and he is set for school. Aunt Alice spent the day with Jayden and Luke. They had their lunch on the deck. Jayden helped Luke take orders and serve meals out of his playhouse. They always have quite the fun times.

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.
