Rio Olympics

The Rio Summer Olympics 2016 has been playing on our television everyday. We wake up in the morning and turn the television on to the Olympics and leave it on all day long. We don't sit and watch it, but it is on in the background and when something exciting is on we stop and watch. They highlight and televise the most popular sports being gymnastics, swimming, volleyball and track. We have enjoyed watching the gymnasts dominate in every event. They took the team gold without any other team coming close. Simone Biles the new gymnast came in and stole the show. Gabby Douglas, the favorite and expected to take the all around, did'nt even make the cut. Simone took the gold all around and 4 individual events. it was fun to see the awesomeness. Then there is Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world. I am a fan because he is from Jamaica! He is neat to watch and he signs the cross with his hands and points to heaven before his runs, he also stops in respect when he hears the American National Anthem. Yes he is confident and maybe a little arrogant but he is unbeatable and knows it. Micheal Phelps took more medals and broke all kinds of records. God has given these athletes such amazing abilities.

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.
