Retreat


 The kids were in our room in the wee hours of the night due to thunderstorms. Luke was pretty shook up. I had him up in the morning getting him ready for school when I heard the weather forecast. Chances of thunderstorms throughout the day, high wind,  hail, and even tornado watch. It was already stormy and I was worried he would be scared on the bus. He is in Kindergarten so missing school here and there is not a big deal to me, so I had him stay home. He got in on some homeschooling. Jayden helped keep him busy with worksheets. He was mot concerned about when he would have recess. Throughout the day we checked the radar and watched and prayed for good weather because of the evening plans. In the evening Jayden’s church retreat would begin. I didn’t know if she should go at all or wait until morning. As the day went on, the chance of severe weather kind of decreased and seemed to move out of our area. After volleyball I took Jayden to Hidden acres where we met the buses full of Cornerstone kids. It was so awesome to see all those junior high kids getting off 3 buses heading to spend a weekend glorifying the Lord. Just awesome. I am so thankful to have found this church and am blessed with the friends, people, opportunities, and greater knowledge of the word through Cornerstone. I am so glad to see my kids growing in their faith too. The evening cleared off and the kids had a good night. The high today 78. In the night the low dropped to 40. Here comes fall.The boys ended up staying with Karen and Orrie and Mark and I went out to eat. 
Over the time at the retreat, Jayden spent her time in worship, prayer, quiet time, with good friends, good food, and fun games. She had so much fun! She got to stay in the bunk rooms above the family life center. She stayed in a room with her 8 small group friends and many others. One night they had a super hero dance and the kids dressed up. I was so thankful all the predicated stormy weather moved on and was not an issue.

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.
