Christmas

 This year on Christmas morning Luke came in our room and was ready just before 8. He waited patiently in the hallway, like we do each year, so we can all walk out to the tree together. The kids were excited as the found their Santa gifts under the tree. Luke got a wood tool set that he had been asking for. Jake got a double drone set and Jayden got a hat box and horse hay bag. The rest of our morning we took our time with stockings and gifts. The kids were each to get something to wear, to read, a want and a need. We tried to stay as close to that as possible. I got spoiled this year! I got a Rhumba robot self propelled vacuum. I also got a pair of twisted X shoes and a sweater outfit. We got Mark a few rodeo rag scarves, flannel shirts, coffee pot, and a cowboy vest.
Jake had his drones charged and flying all over the house the rest of the day. Luke took to his tool set and started sawing and cutting shapes in pieces of wood.

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.
