Star Wars

Sometime in February, Mark introduced the boys to Star Wars. He had 3 VHS tapes from the original  episodes. We always thought Jake was to young to handle the violence and the intensiveness of them. I think Luke is still a bit young, but they are enjoying watching them with Mark. Luke does run out of the room on a few occasions. Now the boys are Star Wars fans, wanting to look up ships and rockets on Google. They have been checking books out at the library and Jacob spent $35 of his hard earned money on a book of his own. I could not convince him that was too much money.  Jake knows so much about the different types of ships, droids, and creatures. They recently discovered the cartoon version “The Clone Wars”. Jacob is on a kick with drawing all kinds of vehicles from the shows. He also is very creative in building ships and vehicles from the movies without any directions.

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.
