BRRRRR, Levi turns 5

The New Year rolled in with single digit temps and a little ice. We had a slight skiff of snow, I am not going to count it as the first snow, however we were expected to get a few inches. Monday and Tuesday were up to 30 and the last two days have had wind chills around -20 to -25. I have decided I am not cut out for Iowa cold anymore. I get chilled to the bone and feel cold all the time. It never used to bother me as much, I blame it on my thyroid. I need to winter in a warmer climate.

This year Levi had his Golden birthday, turning 5 on the 5th. Wade cooked a Mexican enchilada bake, he is an excellent cook. Levi's party was dinosaur themed. Carina likes to go all out with balloons and decorations. She even had a piñata. Levi opened his presents with so much enthusiasm and excitement. He is funny and super happy. He got to blow out a sparkler candle, which he wasnt quite sure of. He is such a happy little go with lots of joy and energy. Sometimes he will run at me and give me big hugs, other times he can be shy. Today I got a big hug. He adores Jake and Luke and keeps tabs on where they are and what they are doing. In the basement, Jake impressed everyone with his rapping skills we didn't know he had, on the karoake machine. He did a rap of "two more tacos por favor" followed by a rap about shifting gears in the Peterbilt. He had everyone laughing. It was a fun evening we all enjoyed. It is always fun to have birthday celebrations for the young kiddos. Our kids are all grown up and past the party age.

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.
