Throwbacks

 I love looking back at old pictures, especially early childhood days under the age of 10. There is just something about that time of life. It was full of innocence, sweetness, and life was simple. I love seeing photos and stirring up memories. There are so many things that you can see in a photo, the style of clothes we wore, the toys we had, the way the furniture was arranged in the house, the wall hangings and old carpet. The cars we drove, the bicycles, and pets we had tell a story. Our family members who are no longer with us, photos help hold on to the memories of them. Their smiles and hugs bring you back to that moment. My grandparents, Aunts, and cousin, who are no longer here will stay dear to my heart. Recently I acquired more photo books from my Aunt Alice's and found many more photos. I love them and will cherish them. These are just a few of my favorites.

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.
