Kids in March

Even though Jayden and Jake are getting older, Luke still enjoys getting in on the fun of the holidays. He made sure to decorate easter eggs. He also is very fortunate to be an easter bunny imposter with his two front teeth. Not everybody gets to have two front teeth like a bunny at Easter.

Allie has been working full time at the nursing home in Ft. Dodge. She works the 2PM until 10 PM shift. She hasn’t quite figured out how best to manage her time and typically sleeps until she has to get ready for work. She sleeps a lot even on her days off. She came out to see the boys and spent most of her time asleep in the chair.



Jake is our lego kid. He can sit and build for hours. It is a great bordem buster. He is so creative. He built this airplane on his own without any instruction. I took a video of him explaining all of it. He explains all the gadgets and how they work, what type of engine, how the turbo engines work, how it even has an emergency seat drop out. He has a lot of knowledge up there. I can’t wait to see how the Lord will use him.

Part of Jayden’s school was an occasional study of gourmet cooking. She has a book and video that we watch on different cooking methods. For dry heat cooking, she had to cook a whole chicken, complete with stuffing it. She also had to learn how to tie its legs up and season. These cooking projects have always been kind of a disaster the first time. They are not easy, but good to learn. Mom is learning with her.

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.
