Happy Birthday Jacob

Today my Jake turned 10 years old. He is really growing up. We reminisced his birth and his baby days with him. Today he had to share his birthday with Po who we were having a big surprise party for. When Jake was born, Grandma had a 60^th birthday party all planned for Po and then Mommy went into labor. So, she wanted to try again. We had ice cream cake at lunch today to make Jake's day special. Today was the big 70^th surprise party for Po. We all spent the day taking care of last minute details. Buying balloons in town, cleaning, decorating, etc. The boys had the most fun zipping around the clean wide open shop on scooters. The party was at 5. Many people, friends, family, and neighbors came. Orrie was surprised. Somehow he thought we were having a Republican meeting coming up at the shop. The food was outstanding, Linde and Julie catered serving ribeyes and all the fixings. Special guest Chuck A.K.A the Arab man entertained the crowd with his fortune telling. He cracked some pretty good jokes. When he mentioned Karen and I , I was worried, he called us saints. party The cousins always have good times when they are together. It’s even more fun when the second cousins from Missouri are back. Ping pong was a big hit with our new ping pong table that was someone's throw away. As the girls get older, the boyfriends tag along to the family outings. I still can’t get used to it, they are still my little girl nieces. All the cousins together made for some good photo ops.

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.
