Allie Visit

Our Niece Torrie is starting school at ISU. We wanted to tell her about Cornerstone's youth ministry "Salt" and invite her to church. She went to church with us, then we took her out for lunch. She is very excited about going to college and has met some neat people in her dorm. Classes start tomorrow for her. I think she will do great and enjoy her college days. Kind of made me reminisce a little. From Ames, we met Allie in Des Moines. Her family was in the area visiting so she met us at the Jordan Creek mall. She was happy to get to see everyone as were we to see her. We talked and walked around and then took her out for a light supper. It was good to see her and know that things are going well for her. She is working 40 hours a week and just finished a couple online classes obtaining her Associates degree. She seems very happy. Prayers have been answered. We are just praying that she will continue to stay on the right track and things will go well for her.

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.
