The Week

Saturday Jayden and I went shopping all day in Des moines. We left in the morning and spent the day shopping. we didn't have a list or things we were needing, so with less pressure, we had fun and found some cute things. Jayden and I had such a fun time, we laughed at each other and silly things. We are so much alike sometimes its just like shopping with my best friend, she is my best friend. i am going to miss her so very much when she goes off to college. I cherish these times together!
On our way home, we met the Buhrs, Mark, and Luke at a restaurant in Luther.

Mark took Luke to his first 4H rifle discipline class in Fort Dodge. He learned gun safety and got to shoot in a shooting range. He had a great time. Sadly, the 4H program has to keep things pretty quiet because of all the pressure on gun control.
Sunday I took Jake and Luke to connection group while Jayden and Mark rode horses. I really enjoy the connection group time and tonight we had some pretty good discussions about our kids and relationships, dating, and friendships. There is a lot going on that we can all relate and help each other through. We didn't go over the discussion questions or talk about the sermon, but sometimes you just need to share what is going on in your lives. The boys had a blast. Jake took our ipad and some props and made a video. Later he spent hours editing and adding sound effects. I think we may have discovered a new passion for Jake. He is hooked. Monday the sun came out and the forecast was dry and sunny for the week! Mark got in the field and got to combining beans. In the evening Frankie came and worked with Jayden and her barrel horses, Joker the 4 year old who is started and not been pushed yet, and the new gray horse that is a ball of fire and just wants to run run run. They are quite opposites. Frankie was impressed with Jayden and told her she has done a really good job with Joker. That is a big compliment when Jayden is the one that has done 100% of the work with him. Tuesday and Wednesday harvest was in full swing, the sun was out. Tuesday Mark got the semi stuck. The ground in the field is still a little soft and a full loud sinks in.

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.
