Match of The Broncs #1

 Match of The Broncs #1 for the season. Today would be hectic and busy as always. I had Jayden down to the arena by 9 AM with horses. From there I unhooked the trailer and headed to Luke’s soccer game. Having Luke’s soccer game was kind of an outlet to get my mind off all the rodeo things for an hour. My parents helped me out by having the boys last night and getting Luke to his game on time. We sat under an umbrella in the rain for part of the game. My parents were trying to be 3 places today too. They wanted to see Jayden ride and get back to see Alivia in her dance recital. Luke had a second game later in the day, but with nobody to get him there, he had to miss it. The busiest times are always when Mark is in the field. After the soccer game the boys and I bought Mawgee some flowers to wish her Happy Mother’s Day. She does so much for my kids and I think she is amazing. Back to the arena, the Serpentine girls performed first. They did a really nice job.
This year they wore bright pink show shirts and got new fancy flags.  I was in charge of the barrels and poles. I had to tell my helpers what to do and keep things going. Lori S. was there to help with the timers. Everything ran pretty smooth. There were only 10 girls competing in the events. Jayden rode Tex for serpentine and ran Ace in barrels and poles. Her runs did not go great, a knocked barrel and a knocked pole, but they are still getting used to each other.
It is pretty exhausting when we get home, get horses put away, trailer unloaded, and stuff hauled into the house. I just want to rest. Mark finished in the Dayton field and needed shuffled around. Yeah, it was great to have the planting all done. Jayden and I went to the Dayton farm to help move vehicles and people around. It was late by the time we got home.

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.
