Rope Night


 The kids don’t have school the next day so the boys went with grandparents, and Jayden went with Mark and I to Bondurant to the indoor arena for some riding and roping. My plan was to just ride and rope the hot heels a few times. I roped the hot heels a half a dozen times and probably roped the live steers close to a dozen. It went rather well, I caught several, turned two, lost my dally a lot, and missed some. When I do catch, everything is happening so fast that it is like a blur. When I did dally and turn, I didn’t know what to do next and kind of stopped. At the end of the night, my neck had a kink and I went to push a horse over and zing my neck went to hurting something awful. If I moved so much as an inch, it felt like a stabbing pain. I rode home with ice on it and went straight to bed after a long bumpy ride home. I spent the next day with ice and sitting in the chair. It took several days and a few chiropractor appointments to feel better.

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.
