Boys on Horses

I ran to Ames with the boys, got groceries, picked up fair photos, bought the boys new shoes, Jake got a hair cut, ate lunch, and did it all before noon.
 On the topic of shoes, I spent as much as I would normally pair for her shoes x3. They are nice shoes, but they are also for pronation. After visiting the foot doctor, these are the shoes they recommended. Thankfully they are cool too. Jake fell in love with his "converse" shoes. He has very unique taste in things. He was over the top excited about his shoes. Luke's shoes were just fun with all the bright colors. I had to photograph the kids new shoes. Jayden spent 6 hours at Karen’s making her orange rolls for fair. 
In the evening the Spillman’s came to ride horses. The kids had so much fun. Jayden, Makenna, Alex, and Jake went for a horse ride through the freshly baled grass waterway west of the arena. They had fun and I loved seeing them all on horses with smiles. They rode for a long time in the outdoor arena jumping and going through poles. Jacob loped with Alex for laps around the arena. I have never seen him lope so much and look confident. All it took was another boy on a horse.

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.
