Sick


After her trip to Chicago, Jayden ended up with a terrible sore throat and was diagnosed with tonsillitis. She was put on antibiotics. A few days later, Mark thought he was getting sick. He woke up Wednesday and went to the doctor. He had a cold that he usually gets a couple times a year. He is a typical male when he gets sick, he sounds so sickly and says everything is achy, he has the chills, but no fever. He coughs and hacks and tells us he is so sick. 48 hours after it started,  he was pretty much better. Jayden on the other hand has been sick and doesn't complain. She had trouble eating, couldn't swallow, but kept up with her school and did what she had to without complaint. Wednesday and Thursday she rode horses even though she still wasn't completely better. Later she ended up going back to the doctor again. Her sore throat was worse, and another round of antibiotics were prescribed. She was tested for strep and mono, both were negative. Later in the month, she had a youth group Christmas party. She had been off her antibiotics for a couple days and was feeling pretty good. While at the party, she began to feel worse and worse. She left early and stopped back at the doctor with a diagnosis of bronchitis. She just cant seem to get better.

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.
