Overnight

Wednesday Mark asked me to go along with him to the Western Dubuque biodeisel annual meeting. It was a long 3+ hour drive and I told him I would only go if we stayed. We drove, ate dinner, went to the meeting, then stayed the night at a hotel. The meeting was a little over an hour with logistics and information. Biodeisel is doing well, really well!! Mark had gotten several surprise checks dividend  in the mail over the year. Some very large sums of money. I keep reminding him that God has blessed him with the money and we should bless others because of it.
Over the weekend Jayden and I rode three horses. I was the warm up and cool down rider and she did all the fine tuning and loping barrels. She also insisted I take a photo of her "family". She is a crazy horse lovin girl!


On Friday, I took Jake to his youth group Lock in. He enjoyed his one on one time with mom for dinner before I took him.  He talked the entire way. The two of us ate supper in town before I dropped him off at Cornerstone at 9. The goal was for the high school kids to stay up the entire night. Pick up time was 8 the next morning. I told Jake he had to arrange someone to get him the next morning. Both Grandma's and us girls were going dress shopping and Dad was in the field. Po picked Jake up some time after 9 and drove all over the place before getting him home around 1. Jake was so tired he just wanted to sleep. He slept from 1 to 6 and let him sleep until 9Pm. He was like a zombie, so tired and couldn't function. He said he had a great time and wished it was two nights. I love that he enjoys that! Surrounded by believers, other kids his age, worship leaders and lots of discussion with biblical truths, what a great place for a teen boy to be. Kids need that and crave that. If we dont get our truths from the bible, we get them from the world and all it's twisted opinions. Praise the Lord for fellowship among young believers.

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.
