My Girl

God knew I needed a best friend, so he gave me a daughter...Jayden is my best friend. We get along like sisters, probably better. We dont fight, just get annoyed with each other, but very rarely. We have the best times together. She makes me smile and laugh. She can cheer me up and put me in a good mood. She is an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. I am the same for her. We think alike, sometimes all it takes is one glance and we can read each others mind. We can see something or someone and one glance is all it takes. Nothing needs to be said because we are both thinking it. Sometimes that oe look can makes us laugh hysterically. WE can finish each other sentences. We can share each others clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I find myself wearing clothes that she no longer likes to wear. I can wear all but her jeans. Some jeans, however, I can fit into. Her legs are longer. We are always doing hair and make-up side by sine in the mirror. She spends much longer on her make-up, I dab on some foundation, a little blush and call it good. She does the whole lengthy process, baking on talc, foundation, blush, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara, the works. She is always after me to fix my eyebrows. Hers are meticulously shaped, mine are full and bushy. Our hair is about the same length. I keep cutting mine because it grows so fast. She rarely cuts her hair and wants so badly for it to grow longer and faster. We alternate between straight hair or wavy using the curling iron or straightener. We try not to be matchy matchy because that would just be too weird. Often times we argue over who gets to wear the tall boots, or who gets to wear the long komono top. Sometimes we walk out of our rooms with the similar outfits or colors and just laugh. She rolls her eyes and says we are twinning and one of us must change. She gets,"You look just like your mom," all the time. We get told we look so much alike. We get asked if we are sisters often. She asks me often what can I do to help. What can I clean and she does it. She helps cook and clear and wash. She does her own laundry. She is pretty amazing!! I am not looking forward to her leaving the nest. Spreading her wings in this big scary world to fly on her own. I am excited for her new journey, her future, I just will miss her so. I know GOd has plans for her and I cant wait to see what big things she does. I just hope she does not go too far and will always be my best friend.

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.
