This and That

2/20/16 Today was a little bit of this and a little bit of that. At 9 am the equine chiropractor came and adjusted our 4 horses along with Loree and Marlee’s. The Driver girls came to watch and brought their  brother Luke to hang out with Jacob. Mark and the kids spread the MAG salt on the arena ground to control the dust. That takes a gator driving with the spreader and someone cutting bags, someone dumping bags and there were 60+  bags. It takes time and muscle and is not an easy job. The neighbor boy Luke helped too. I think he enjoyed having a job to do and really likes to hang out with Jake. He is very quiet and doesn’t say much, but was making plans for Jake to come over to his house.
Midday I ran Jake and Jayden up to Spillman’s where they went to a TMRA winter bull riding series to watch. It seems so strange to send the kids off to do things without a parent along. I picked Jake up at 10PM and Jayden spent the night. She was to go with Uncle Troy in the morning to watch Jaynie at the beef expo. Jaynie had invited Jayden to stay the whole weekend and help out. Jayden was super excited, but it was Jaynie's plan and not her parents. It never seems to work out on their end, so she Jayden was thrilled to just get to go for one day. She enjoyed helping Jaynie and watching her show.

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.
