Team Penning


Mark was up in the early hours of the morning with the grain dryer technician. The boys spent the night and couldn't wait to get to the field. We don't normally work on Sundays, but with the dryer problems and moving corn, Mark decided to keep going in the field. Mark finally got his dryer working in the middle of the day.  Since we were not going to church, Jayden and I decided we would go to the team penning in Dayton. We had a good time, I rode Tex, she rode Jessie.  There was a small rough crowd. None of Jayden's friend s and no kids, but she did great and had a good time. We were both on a few teams and did the draw pot where you are paired up with someone. She won the draw pot with a high school boy for her partner. Jayden had a slight advantage due to her aggressive horse. Jayden would ride up behind a steer that she was after and Jessie would bite it on the rump. It was the funniest coolest thing. The steers were getting harder and slower to move. Her horse helped her out. The two of them did so well, they won the show. She won an engravedemriodered saddle cover.

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.
