Friday Strawberries

After a crazy busy week, I was looking forward to a day at home. It was not a quiet relaxing day, but still nice to just be in. Jayden and I started the morning off by riding horses. It was supposed to be a hot one, so we were up and riding early. Then I gave both horses a very thorough bath. I am not sure which of these things caused my low back to hurt, but I spent the rest of the hurting.
All week Jayden has been picking my strawberries and today we were making and freezing jelly. Jayden has done an excellent job picking and it save my back. We got all the kids in on it today from picking to cutting. I had great help. We only did two batches for now, becuase of my back.

In the evening Mark went roping and Jake went with and helped move the steers into the chutes. The went up town for cheeseburgers at 10PM before heading home.
Jayden, Luke and I stayed in and watched a movie, with a little kitty friend.

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.
