Winter School Day and Alivia Stay

Today Luke had a winter fun day at his school. It was very well planned out and organized. Almost every child had a parent attend. There were activities from making bird feeders, homemade ice cream, and a treasure hunt. We also went outside twice. It was rather cold to be outside, barely 10 degrees. The kids all had a great time and always love when Mom is there. Luke and I shared our ice cream and at the end of the day all had a cup of hot cocoa. What fun! Afterschool, I met Carina in Stanhope to get Alivia for the night. This would be her first sleepover at our place. The kids were very excited to have Alivia spend the night. She was super excited too. The kids played in the basement, mostly horses. We had lots of talks about not getting wild and they all did really well. I fixed con flake chicken strips and macaroni and cheese. Later the kids watched a movie with a big bowl of popcron. Luke and Alivia wore their chracter pajamas I got them for Christmas from the "Frozen" movie. Lights out and everyone went to bed at 10. Alivia slept on a fold out bed in Jayden’s room.

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.
