8/26/16 This week Jayden started her
College English Comp class at the Ogden high school. It is mostly seniors in
her class. So far I think she is enjoying the thrill of being a high schooler.
She has gotten noticed in class and in the hallways getting lots of looks. Of
course she is the new girl, but I think a big part is the tall beautiful
blonde. I am sure she is turning lots of heads. Yes, she is enjoying meeting
and talking to new people. She tells me she is not being shy and trying to get to know people. I read her paper
she wrote on the second day of class and I was so impressed. I think she could
pass the class already. She is an exceptional writer. One thing I have noticed,
getting her to write a paper at home has been like twisting her arm and she
doesn’t put much effort into it. Doing a paper in the class, she does great. I
am not sure what that says for me, I just know taking this class will be great
for her.
On Wednesday the kids had their first youth groups. Jacob was nervous about starting up again and didn’t really want to go. Once there he had a great time and was glad he went. Jayden took her friend Erica and they even had a snow cone truck for the high schoolers to enjoy. Thursday morning Grandma and Grandpa came and spent the day. Jake and Grandpa started working on the pet house project. 25 years ago I made a cat house as a 4H project with my Dad. It has held up really well and I wanted Jake to make one with Grandpa. We designed it a little bigger, which made it a little harder to build. Jacob helped Grandpa with every step. Luke even got into using a hand saw. Later the boys painted it.
In the evening we had riding lessons at 5 and 7, and a girl came and roped at 6. It was a busy evening.
In sad news, our chickens stopped eating and 2 have died. Jake, just the other day, decorated the chicken coop with some drawings He really likes his chickens and is sad.

Friday I took the mama cats to have
their spay surgeries.
On Saturday Mark took Jayden to Waterloo for a Barrel Bash. It was a long day for them, tractor raking every 5, so it made for a late night getting home. On the last stretch, Mark told jayden to drive the rest of the way and he went to sleep. Jayden drove the truck and trailer and they got home at 2AM.
