Arena Action

The kids had Alex and Makenna over after school. Makenna brought 3 of her horses and Jayden and her spent all day in the arena and some riding outside. The temperature was in the upper 30’s and the arena was perfect without turning on any heaters. It has been so cold that when it gets in the 30’s without any wind, it feels like a heat wave. Jake and Alex drove the 4 wheeler until Dad heard they were doing donuts and they had to put it up. They drove the gator around and played tractors and video games. Around 5:00 Tony and his crew came and rode horses. Luke got to play in the dirt with Cash. It was active around here. Mark has been doing very well. He has stayed on top of his pain meds and is doing really well. He can get around slowly with his crutches and is a pretty good patient. I was glad to get out of the house to the arena for a bit.

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.
