5/14/16 Last night Luke had a make up
soccer game. It was so cold and windy, 46 degrees at 6PM. Luke was bundled up
and looked a little like a penguin. I
thought I frost bit my fingers off as they turned white and numb even in
gloves. I am trying to get Luke to be more aggressive in going after the ball.
I told him I would count how many times he kicks the ball in the game and he
would get a skittle for each time. He liked that idea.
We
then went out for supper at Applebees and let the boys get a treat at Kohl’s. I
love that my boys are tenderhearted and still like soft cuddly stuffed animals.
Today was another soccer game at 12:45 and the weather was just as cold. At least the sun was out, temps were 50, but the wind was so strong it blew right through you. I was glad when it was over and could be indoors for awhile.
In the evening was Jayden’s rodeo in Dayton. It was chilly, but seemed better late as the wind died down. Jayden did not have a very good night at TMRA. Her first run on Tex was going well, she didn’t let him go full speed to the first barrel and he turned it nice. Then he knocked the second barrel. She never knocks barrels with Tex. Ace had a great run, super first, all three barrels were tight and all was going great until the run home. As she was a couple feet from crossing the electric eye finish line, he darted left into a circle then crossed the line. That added about 6 seconds onto her time. She has yet to make a flawless TMRA run. I know it will come. She has all the technique down and has worked and worked at it. Once it all comes together it is going to be awesome. She just needs consistency. Luke, he just likes hanging out at rodeos. He can always find a kid to play with.
