Happy Birthday Jacob #11

11 years ago today, Jacob was born. I always reminisce the day and tell the kids lots of details. He has really matured and is a great kid. It is fun to see his unique interests in things that are vintage and antique.
Today it feels like January. It only got up to 18 degrees today, very cold and wintery. The ground is covered with a fresh layer of glistening snow. The kids didn’t mind the cold. We stayed home today, no church. Rylie got to spend two nights and the boys have had so much fun. They made several trips out in the cold to pull sleds behind 4 wheelers. Sounds crazy I agree. I would make them come in after an hour, so cold and red cheeked. That didn't stop them. After they warmed up and I dried gloves, they were back at it some more. Jake told us this was one of the best birthdays.

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.
