Rhonda the Honda

Jake had been looking for a 4 wheeler and made several phone calls and went to see a couple. They had many problems that you wouldn't know until you take them for a ride. Mark went with Jake each time to inspect and make sure they were all that they seemed. Most of them were not. Jake didn't want anything new right out of a store. He wanted old school, something from the nineties. He came across the 4 wheeler he wanted. It was a yellow Honda that he soon gave the name Rhonda the Honda. It isn't like the 4 wheelers we have at home, it has speed and it is made for racing. I have to say it makes me very nervous and I dont like seeing Jake speed racing around the yard and trying to pop wheelies and jump ditches. My worry levels are going up again. Why do we give things that cause us extra worry?


When Jake brought his 4 wheeler home, he was a little concerned about some of the stickers on his 4 wheeler. He made his own stickers to cover them up. One said a moderately bad word and one was of women showing too much. I love that it bothered him and felt that he should cover them.
Jake took his first spin and was all smiles. He was so excited and kept saying how great it was to have something running good and not have to worry about it. 2 days later the battery went dead, over and over. He bought a new battery and that didnt seem to fix the problem.We finally had to take it to a dealer and they replaced the starter. Poor Jake, he is finding out old equipment is a lot of continuous maintenance.

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.
