Saturday

June 3rd and it has been 2 Weeks out and still dealing with my back. 2 massages, 3 chiro appt, one PT appt. I have used Ice and heat. I feel it and it isnt going away fast enough. I do ok when I am moving and walking. Lifting, bending, and getting in car, I tweek it and it hurts! The worst is at night when i am sleeping and I change postions in bed. Rolling from my back to my side or vice versa is the worst! I have heard it called cramping up or a back spasm. I dont know what you call it but it is ver bothersome and I pray it will go away completely and soon!

On Firday we had specail visitors on our farm. Our church had lined of a youth group from Minnesota that wanted to do hard working jobs on the farm. Mark came up with the idea of lceaning out grain bins. I thought the job seemed a little harsh, but there wasnt much else for a group of 20+ kids. I brought tons of water bottles, a watermelon and had extra chips from graduation to give when the job was over. Mark was like a serious foreman on the job giving instruction and overseeing the kids and I was the meet and greet and snack giver. Luke was all about getting in there and helping with the group. He grabbed a mask ans shovel and went to work. It was hot, really hot and dusty like no other. It was not pleasant at all. The kids split into groups and in no time they had cleared out three bins. We were very thankful for the group to come along and help us out as they did. I got a kcik out of the youth pastor as he visited with me. He actually asked me if the corn in the bins will go into the cans of corn on the shelves in the store.

Saturday I took photos at a wedding from 1 until 5. I was asked by my friend Sara to help her out. She was the main photographer and I was her back up. I was to take the candid shots and a few on her list. I also took pictures during the ceremony from the balcony. It was fun, but I get too stressed that my camera isn't going to work or my photos won't turn out. Sure enough my camera gave me trouble when the wedding party was coming down the aisle.

  Mark took Jayden to the Osceola rodeo. Ace was feeling good and went in the arena nice for her. He had some good speed going and nice turns on barrel 1 and 2. She finished third and tipped it. Another one of those runs that just makes ya mad.Mark doesn't do well with those runs, it is a long drive down and a long drive back, and he is too competitive. They were home by midnight.
The whole family did manage to make it to church Sunday morning.

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.
