Day Date with my boys

When I asked Jake what he wanted for his birthday he asked to have a mom and Jake day shopping. I said I could do that! We had our lunch at Applebee's. We did a little shopping at the mall, OVerflow, and Theisen's. He wanted insulated coveralls of his very own. It's nice to have a little one on one time with the kids.

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I had a mom and Luke outing. I wanted to take him shopping before Thanksgiving rather than after. The whole Black Friday madness is not worth shopping with the large crowds. We ate at the Grove Cafe, a little hole in the wall diner in Ames I had never been too. At first Luke looked around and questioned if we should be eating there. It was old and rough. When we left, he told me it was the best breakfast food he has eaten. It was unique. You sat at the counter and watched the one cook fix up your food right in front of you.We went to a few stores and ended the day at the Rec center where Luke worked out, Mark met with his trainer, and I walked the track and rode a stationary bike.

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.
