Our Week of Outings


9/24/15 Tuesday I called in a substitute teacher, also known as Grandma Mawgee. I needed a day. A day to run errands and a day to get out without my kiddos. Not that I don’t love every minute with my kids, but it is refreshing to have some time alone. I had lunch with Angelia and took some maternity photos of her. She is getting so close to having her baby. She is at 36 weeks, but has had several instances in the hospital thinking the baby was coming. I did some shopping and loaded up on field food at Sam’s. The day ended in rain. Wednesday was the usual taekwondo and youth group night.
CHURCH NIGHT-Jadyen’s small group is kind of struggling to keep together. Donna, Jayden’s leader is trying to figure out what to do next. Jayden is feeling sad. It took her a long time to get comfortable with the group of girls in her small group. Since high school, they are so hit and miss and their priorities are everywhere else. Jayden told me she feels like she just doesn’t fit in anywhere in the church. It is heart breaking because she truly wants to be there and wants to make friends. Jake is in the same situation. He likes youth group, he enjoys the lesson and talks to me about it each week. But, his small group is full of kids that he doesn’t know at all. Kids just don’t go out of their circle to meet new kids anymore. Its like they have their own friends so why would they want to meet somebody new. If you are the new kid, you are just kind of there. It is so hard.
Thursday afternoon our whole family went to the Dayton arena to ride. We had the place to ourselves. Other than the tiny "no see’em" bugs biting, it was about perfect. We took three horses and all took turns riding. We took our poles and Jayden got in some practice runs. The boys took their bicycles and we even took the dog Tuff. Luke was confident riding Ace and got along great. After some riding, we went up town to the Dayton bar to eat some burgers. It was a nice family outing.

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.
