"Heaven Is For Real" Movie and Orange Belt Award

Jayden and I were very excited to start the homeschool book club. Everyone else seemed enthused about it in the beginning, but it has phased out. This time, we tried to get everyone back into it by reading a book and going to the movies together. The timing was perfect and so was the book. We chose "Heaven is For Real" and the movie came out Easter. 2 of the girls couldn't wait for our movie day and saw it ahead of time, so did not join us. 2 could not come for busy reasons. 2 didn't read the book and only came for the movie. And 3 including Jayden read the book and were excited for the movie. I planned the day out including the boys, so Luke missed another day of school. He is my child and I am not worried a bit about him missing school days, and the school has never questioned it. I did feel kind of bad when I picked Luke up early from school and all the little Kindergartners eyes were looking at me envying Luke as he shouted out," I guess I really am going to the movies today." Everyone met at 1:30 for the movie along with 3 moms. After the movie we went to McDonald's for discussion. Most of the girls are so quiet it is hard to get the discussion going. One girl is very outgoing and overbearing and can come across rude. It is a hard group of girls to try and keep the book club going. Makes me sad, because it seemed like a great idea. Jayden LOVES to read and it is always nice when you can share your thoughts with someone who read the same book.

Jayden ended up going with Spillman's out to eat and to 180 youth group. We met Mark and took Luke to taekwondo. Luke received his official orange belt. He was very excited and we were proud of him. Seemed like a good reason to celebrate and eat at Texas Roadhouse.

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.
