Happy Birthday Luke #15

To celebrate Luke's birthday we aksed him what he would like to do and gave him sone suggestions. We ended up taking him to Des Moines along with Jake and cousin Rylie. We ate a great supper at Texas Raodhouse before checking into a hotel . We gave the boys their own room. THey went to the pool and hot tub, then went to see a movie. One thing that I have always loved about the cousins, they all still like and enjoy a good kids movie. Tonight's movie pick was Puss in Boots. While enjoying the hot tub, the boys got a little wild and went outside soaking wet in swim trunks and had a snowball fight. That was entertaining. The next morning they headed to Bass Pro shop while Mark and I went to a upscale men's clothing store in Clive. Mark loved every minute of the clothing store. He likes the personal attention and being made over. He likes that the store salesmen are all former clothing store owners, managers, and retail associates. They know clothing and they are good at what they do! I had to keep reminding myself that Mark doesn't shop often and these clothing finds will last him for many years. Yes, they were very expensive! It was painful for me to look at price tags. At Bass Pro shop, we reserved a spot and played a round of bowling while eating pizza. And guess who won? Me! It was a fun way to celebrate Luke turning 15!

With family, the kids often have more than one celebration so family can be included. We met with the grandparents and Wade's family at Jethro's BBQ for Luke's birthday also.

At the age of 15, Luke has really gotten tall, he is catching us.

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.
