Walk For Life

I got the kids up early for a summer morning at 6:45, so we could be in Ames for the Informed Choices Walk for Life. The walk supports Informed Choice,s a place for pregnant mothers to be informed of their decisions regarding an unplanned pregnancy. They have a 90% survival rate when mothers attend the clinic. Planned Parenthood on the other hand support abortion and does them like going in and having a tooth pulled. It is really quite sad. Informed choices also has Charlie the mobile unit that goes around as a traveling van for exams and ultrasounds. Walk for Life is a great cause I feel strongly about. Today, Luke brought his scooter and Jayden brought her dog Tuff for the walk. We got to enjoy a huge pancake breakfast before the walk. We also met up with our friends the Buhr's. We had a nice time visiting during the walk that started at Brookside park and went along the river. We even ventured a little farther from the route to get a fun photo. It was another picture perfect day sunny and warm, perfect for a nice walk. The kids did great and Tuff.

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.
