Birthday

Mark has been asking me all week what I wanted  for my birthday. I came up with a plan. Our family going to Homemakers in Des Moines and picking out a dinning set and living room set. We have had our second hand dinning table and chairs since we moved here 11 years ago. It has been more than time to update. We also have been looking to buy a new couch, love seat and lazy boy. Today we did it all. Homemakers is gigantic!
 The boys found some massage chairs and were quite content while we shopped. I found my dining set and couch set. Mark picked out his own lazy boy recliner and they said they would ship them in about a month. It will be so nice to get new furniture. With our new carpet everything is so fresh, nice, and new. After shopping, Mark took us to Beaggi’s Italian restaurant for my birthday. It was a very nice outing and a great family day for my birthday. Back in Williams Carina hosted a surprise party for brother Wade’s 40th surprise birthday party. I just couldn’t figure out how to get there and wish him happy birthday and head home. The party didn't start until 9PM. I don't seem to know many of Wade's friends either. Even though we did not make it, he had a good turnout and a good time for his party. Can’t believe 40 years, we are getting old.

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.
