Photographer

 Ali recently asked me to take photos of Titus. I took photos while he was with me for a day. I figured he would be a challenge with his age and it would be easier that way. I had a backdrop set  up and thought I would set some chairs and stool for him to sit on. If I made any attempt at trying to have him cooperate with me and do what I asked, he was not having any of it. In fact any chair I set by him to sit on, he would pick it up and throw it. If I got him to play and do things on his own terms, I could catch a photo or a look. I had to be silly and it was hard to get him to even look my way. Outside was easier just trying to get him in his natural element. The hay bales were my big idea. I was hoping to sit him there and he would like being on the hay and seeing the cats and dogs. Nope, he wanted down so fast, I happened to stand him up before I let him down and got a split second smile. That was the photo of the day! The natural light was perfect and his bright blue eyes popped! After I sent the photos to Ali, she asked me to do a couple photos of her family when we recently were at Karen's. Bridget seemed the most prepared for the family photo with her hair all fixed up. I had a lot of helpers behind me trying to get Titus to look and smile. He was not enjoying it , but thankfully he didn't show it in the photos. I got a few good ones. I personally like the black and white without all the different colors taking away from them. 






My favorite! The photo of the day.






A couple days later, Karen asked me to do photos of her and Orrie. Karen was wearing her newest favorite Rocking J Co top and just had her hair done. I thought the pictures turned out cute. I do enjoy taking photos and getting just the one shot that really makes you smile.

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.
