Mother & Son Dance

When asked if they would like to attend a Mother and Son dance, my prediction was totally wrong. I figure Luke, who loves to dance would be all over the idea and Jake would think he was too old for something like that. Boy was I wrong.  Luke didn't think that sounded like something he cared to do and Jake's response was "Sure." When the day rolled around for the dance, it happened to be an amazing, sunny, and warm day, perfect for being outside. That made for a challenge and the boys really weren't thrilled about spending such a nice day inside. The boys got dressed in their best with sports jackets and all. Luke wanted to wear his cowboy hat and did the entire day. Dad helped the boys get all dressed up.I told the boys how they should open the door for a lady and hang up her coat and pull out her chair. The dance was in Gowrie in the school lunch room. It was well decorated, they had a yummy snack table full of goodies, and a D.J. jamming songs. There were around 20 mothers with sons and I knew a few of them.
 
The boys had a blast and were so fun to watch. They really get into the music. I would say they were the most entertaining there. They danced to everything. I took turns with both boys during the slow songs teaching them how to two-step. The fast songs they were all over the place moving and grooving. They really have some moves! They did the "Whip, nae nae song. They were jamming to everything. Later it was the limbo and Luke was quite the ham. He would do a little dance and take his hat off as he went under the bar and lifted it over the bar and back on his head each time as he got lower. Lastly, we got to take a walk down the red carpet. Jake had his shades on and really strutted as he walked with me, He got quite a few laughs. We also had a photo session together. The boys had a blast and told me they wanted to do it again. I was super excited to share that special day with my boys. It warms my heart to have such wonderful gentlemen for boys.

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.
