December

 The month of December has been relatively mild, only a few skiffs of snow, temperatures staying above 30. Today we got a blast of  cold and woke up to -12. BRRR it is so cold out.  The boys have been spening the night at grandparents. They take turns by themselves at each grandparents. They haven’t been home much and the little the they are together they pester one another and bicker a lot. Jossie and Jaynie rode horses with Jayden.Jossie had not riddenin years and was full of funny questions. She was so afraid she would not be able to balance and use her legs properly.  We had Jaynie and Rylie spend the night one night. They had a lot of fun playing and being creative. The even had there own version of nerf gun war capture the flag, the flag was a smurf.
 Jayden too has been on the go. She had a youth group sleep over at her leaders home with about 6 other girls. Then she went to Makenna’s birthday where they went out to dinner in Des Moines and she spent the night. They can’t say the were bored over their Christmas break!

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.
