Morgan and Greenfield Rodeo

Friday the girls slept in. It was the hottest day yet, with overnight rain the humidity was unbearable. In the evening we went to the Hamilton county fair to watch Alivia show her bucket bottle calf. It was pretty cute and she looked like big stuff out there showing her calf. The show ring was air conditioned, but lost power as soon as it started. It was still nice until you went outside. When we ate it was sticky and unpleasant! The power went out so the fair was releasing animals.

>Saturday the girls rode their horses and set up poles. Jayden gave Morgan some lessons and now her horse can run a pretty nice pole pattern. The rest of the day the girls watched movies, made cookies and just had a quiet evening. Mark and I went out on a date. We went to Des Moines to Jordan Creek mall and to PF Chang for Chinese.
On Sunday morning our family and Morgan went to church in Boone. Morgan even borrowed a dress of jayden's. After church Morgan's parents came and got her to go on to another rodeo. She was running in the Greenfield slack at 2:30 and Jayden rode in the 7:00 rodeo performance. It was such a wonderful change in weather. It stayed around 83 and was cloudy. It was so refreshing and I enjoyed going to the rodeo. I saw my old college friend Bill Riley and we caught up talking about old friends and where they are and how many kids they have. Bill has a couple little ones, one is 3 and the other 1. Jayden ran number 12 and had a clean run, but not one of her best. She ran a 14.3 and a 13.7 was winning. Not in the money tonight.

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.
