To Be A Friend

Jayden is an example of a good friend; kind, thoughtful, caring, honest, trustworthy, and responsible.  It sounds like I am bragging, but she is the kind of friend you want to have. Finding that in return is a challenge. Jayden frequently makes plans with friends and at the last minute, they cancel on her. It happens time and time again. They make all kinds of plans, then at the last minute her friend has something else she has to do. I dont understand why that friend keeps making plans in the first place. It makes me sad for Jayden. She gets her hopes up, looks forward to it all week, then is let down. It happened recently with her friend in Omaha. Ever since Labor day the girls have been planning on spending the weekend together at Prairie Meadows during the big nationals race. Kara would be there with her Grandma and helping with the race horses. The girls talked about it many times for weeks. Last minute, Kara was too busy and couldn't spend time with Jayden. She  was all set to go to the Church Escape retreat with a cousin. She was excited to be able to bring somebody with her and have a friend there. A few days before her cousin called and forgot she had an FFA convention that weekend. It is reoccurring and sad for Jayden. Another friend made and broke plans, even on Jayden's birthday.

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.
