New Years Eve

 Mark and I were invited to our first New Year's party in a really long time. I was super excited. My closest Ames friend Carolyn invited us along with 5 other couples. One couple couldn't make it and with all of us there was 12 . I knew all the ladies and met 3 of the husbands I had not met. Mark knew 4 people and met a lot of new people. All the families attend our church. It was a great night of food, drinks, games, laughs, and conversation. Carolyn set out a charcuterie board and they had lots of drink choices. The ladies visited a lot about weddings, all having kids near the age. Carolyn and I are on the same page. Jayden and her daughter got engaged within a few weeks of one another and Jayden's wedding is March, and her daughter April. We played some really fun games that got everyone laughing and having fun. We played games that you had to describe a word, act out a word, and come up with famous people names and figure out who wrote them. Ken was the most hilarious and intense charades actor acting with so much enthusiasm as an Irish dancer, Intvertebre, and skiier. It was a great time. I am so glad we were invited and went. I am thankful for good people in our lives and new friends.

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.
