Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen

11/5/15 Today Jayden had her sweet sixteenth birthday. Wow, where have the years gone. She has grown up into an amazing young lady. On this day we celebrated in the morning by decorating her bedroom door with streamers and opening gifts. Some of her gift were pop up barrels and a frame with her recent photo from a photo session with Ace. ( Roses came the next day) She was very specific about no cake. She has never been a big cake fan and said all she wanted was donuts for breakfast, so we did. Since it was her birthday she got to sleep in and skip school. In the evening, we had Grandparents come for a little birthday party. Mawgee came early but had to leave to paint. She sent cupcakes enough to form the number 16, It was a nice day near 68.

At one point in the evening we were all wondering where Jake went and started to worry. Turns out he had taken the 4 wheeler out along the waterway and gotten stuck. He was half a mile from the house, walked to the house and tried to get the gator and a rope to pull it out. He ended up walking back out to the 4 wheeler again. All of this he was doing on his own so he wouldn't get into trouble. We were glad that Jake did not get hurt, however we were upset that he did not call or come get help. He got grounded for a month from his 4 wheeler, not for getting stuck, but for trying to hide it and not telling us where he was and what he was doing. HOpefully he learned from it.

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.
