Allie's Birthday

2/29/16 Allie moved back to Iowa in December and just got her own apartment. She is trying to make it on her own. She has a job at a nursing home and now her very first apartment of her own. I wanted to make a special day for her birthday. I wanted to take her shopping for her apartment and groceries along with a special day. First, both Jayden and Allie go their hair done together. They picked out color, darker underneath and on the bottom. I had no say in the hair color or styles.
Next we went out for lunch. Mark was in town and joined us at Hickory Park. Then we went on to some shopping. I showed her the Loft, a very trendy neat consignment shop. She ended up picking up a cute dress she wants to wear for Libby's wedding. The girls also tried on prom dresses just for fun. From there we went to Target and bought apartment supplies and finally groceries. I would say that Allie made out pretty good for her birthday. I hope she appreciates 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.
