Shopping with Boys

I took the boys shopping. It sounded fun and simple, but it was neither. I wanted them to find a couple nice dressy button down shirts. Shirts they could wear for the upcoming wedding, wear for church, and nice occasions. They kept finding t-shirts and were buggy and wanted to buy random things like sunglasses and guns. It was not a fun time and I decided I will just keep buying their clothes on my own and remember not to take both boys shopping together. As we were about to leave empty handed, we had one last store and they both found a shirt, more less for fun. Jake picked a pin stripe shirt that he said reminds him of our old neighbor man and wanted it to be funny. Luke found a loud red white and blue shirt that would be fun to wear to just the right occasion. I am not sure what occasion that will be, maybe a parade? Outside the store they also wanted a photo with the Ronald Reagan statue. I so appreciated the plaque and sign. The words are so profound with such meaning and truth, I had to share. Today, with all that is going on, I would not doubt if the statue and sign get removed. The new term "Cancel Culture" has arisen.

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that the government spends too much."

"If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

"The most terrifying words in the English language, I am from the government, and I am here to help."

"Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face."

"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." Ronald Reagen

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.
