Blowing Snow

12/28/15 I stayed home and hibernated as it snowed and blowed outside. Cold blustery in the teens and snowstorm was the forecast. Mark had to take care of his cattle. The kids and I tried to get the house back to order. I worked all day and only made a dent in the mess. Jayden did a major clean of her room. We all have too much stuff!!  Today a train jumped the tracks in Ogden and tore up the new train crossing they have been working on all year. I was just telling Jayden a couple weeks ago how I don’t trust trains and I never get very close. If I am the first one at a train crossing I will park about 3 car lengths back, 2 car lengths from the white line where you are supposed to stop. I don’t like trains and for that very reason. It was at the exact crossing in Ogden that I told Jayden, this is as close as I get.

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.
