On Saturday morning the boys went with Uncle Wade to a farm toy show in Des Moines. They really enjoyed that and each spent their own money to buy some toys. Later they set up farm in the basement, I love that they play farm.
Jayden took Joker to a weekend "Go For Broke" barrel race in Iowa Falls. She did not feel comfortable enough on her newest horse Queen, so left her home. She drove on half snow and ice covered roads to Iowa Falls and was fighting a bad head cold and a migraine. Mark and I tried to talk her into just going for one day, but Jayden is hard headed when it comes to her horses. She kept Joker at the equine center and stayed the night with Grandma and Grandpa in Williams. They both went and watched her run on Saturday and her Muench grandparents watched her Sunday.
Saturday, Jayden ran a good solid run on Joker with a time of 15.12. She placed 15 out of 80, took home a 4th in the 2D check. On Sunday she ran Joker at a 14.99 with a couple wide barrels. We know he could have shaved a bit of time on his run. She got a really nice check winning the 2D. It was exciting for Jayden to have such good runs and a good weekend. She works so hard and has been pretty discouraged with her horses lately. Queen is such a powerhouse and Jayden was having flashbacks of out of control runs with Astro. She was about in tears the other day feeling so frustrated and down about her barrel racing and rodeo. She loves it so and won't give up. This was the boost she needed. These boosts last a long time and drive her on even more. I like horses like Joker, Ace, and my Joe horse. They are good at running, yet level headed and a joy to ride.
I went Sunday to Levi's birthday party and then on to Jayden's barrel race. Levi turned 3 with a cute Construction theme party. Carina really gets into the decorations and theme. I got Levi a construction outfit and he got a battery operated Mack truck from his mom and dad. He sure has the toys!!
Our whole family went through phases of having the head cold. I got it over the weekend and Jayden was still pretty sick. It lasted into the week, head congestion and stuffy nose, head pressure. Jayden always gets a sinus infection so she was able to get antibiotics. I didn't take a thing all week and by Thursday I went to my doctor. Just as I expected she told me I have a cold virus and to give it time. Mark has had the head cold for a couple weeks. As soon as he gets a sniffle, he takes all kinds of over the counter meds, Dayquil, Nyquil, Tylenol, cough drops, Nasocort, nasal drops, Airborne, and Sudafed. I basically give it time and it goes away. That seems to be pretty common when men get sick. They are so much more dramatic and needy. I dont like to take meds if I can help it. He snored so loud like a freight train, I shared Jayden's bed for 4 nights. My voice makes me sound terrible, I am congested and my nose runs all day. It has been years since I have been sick. Blah!
