April Things

 We had Grandma come down and we fixed her lunch and cake for her birthday. It was nice to have some grandma time. Alivia came along too and rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers with Luke. Luke made the cake for Grandma and she even posed for a picture wearing Jake's Pit Viper sunglasses. She also helped hay the horses, there is a first time for everything! 

  

   

Cell phones have officially taken over our lives. The boys have time limits on their phones, otherwise I have no doubt they would waste away their time and day on them. These little devices have made daily life difficult. You can zone out and waste away hours. We are all guilty. 

I surprised Mark with bookshelves for his birthday in December. I ordered them in November and due to the pandemic, it took until the end of April for them to arrive. In a typical year it may have taken a couple weeks. Mark has always wanted his own library, a place he could have shelves of all his books. He has an amazing office that we fixed up for him several years ago and his books have been overflowing. With the new added bookshelves covering the walls, he has a library. I got them all set up and surprised him. He loved them and said it was one of his best gifts ever. 

  

   
Our labradoodle Buster got his very first haircut. He was a mess of curls and hair. After his cut, he was clean, soft, and fluffy. He was like a brand new dog and I almost wanted to let him in the house.

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.
