Birthday Celebrating

I officially have all teenagers and older. My baby is thirteen! One of the perks of being homeschooled is having the whole day to yourself. Luke slept in, then got up to open his presents, watch a few home videos of little Luke, and then went to work at the shop. I am not sure what he is hoping to buy, but he has been eager to work and earn money. The hardest job and best paying job is to wash the semis, a job that is frequently done. In the late afternoon, he wanted to go snowboarding with Alivia, who he knew would already be going. Since he went Monday for his birthday, this time he had to pay his own way. He didn't mind and it was worth it to him. It was much colder this time, dropping in the low 20's and a little fresh snow. For his birthday, Mark helped Luke pick out speakers for his Chevy truck. We also got him a pair of muck boots. Jake got him a steering wheel cover and some car cleaning supplies. I thought it was pretty neat and sweet that Jake, on his own, found something for Luke. He is a good gifter and got him just he needed. He got a handmade knife made out of a horseshoe rasp from Wade & Carina. Mawgee made him a little hunting cake and gave him thirteen odds and ends gifts with gift cards. Friday night the Grandparents met in Ames with our family to celebrate Luke's birthday with a steak dinner at TX Roadhouse. I'd say he had a pretty good birthday!

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.
