14th Birthday

I took Jayden to the doctor a week ago for what she thought was a sinus infection. It turned out to be just a cold. The next day she was croupy and today her throat was really sore. First thing in the morning her tonsils were really swollen and she searched the internet thinking tonsilitis. Today was her birthday and she was feeling crumy. As the day went on she was feeling worse. We got out the home videos as we do every year to reminisce. We have lots of video footage of Jayden's first few hours and days in the NICU. She was our tiny little sweet preemie. It is hard to believe it has been 14 years. She has grown into an amazing young girl. We thank God for her everyday. We wanted to do something special for her birthday and my parents wanted to come down no matter what. She got to open her gifts for her birthday, a big canvas of her on Tex with the american flag, and her new cowboy boots. Daddy surprised her with a gorgeous bouquet of pink and purple flowers.  The grandparents all joined us and we went out to dinner in Paton at 209 Main. Mawgee and Peepaw brought down an ice cream cake for us to enjoy afterwards too.

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.
