Bright Blue Wheels

 Luke has been searching trucks on various websites looking for just the right truck to call his own. He wanted his own truck the day he could legally drive with a school permit, age 14. We kept telling him he had to wait until he was 16. We had trucks for him to drive, he drives his Grandpa M.' F150 often and our white Chevy. He has been working and keeping track of hours for the past couple years. He has a chore chart and logs his hours and gets paid. He does work afterschool almost every single night and fills his weekends working. He has been working very hard and saving up to get a truck of his own. Trucks are extremely expensive. With Jayden and Jake, once they were in College or done with college and making money, they have the option to buy the one that they are using of ours or get something they pick out. Luke wants to start paying for a truck now. He wanted to pay half and feel like it is part his truck. We made an agreement and came up with a budget. The first truck Luke had his heart set on, he took his Grandpa W. with him to Iowa City to look at . They had a special day together, made the road trip, ate lunch, and even went to a big truck museum. I'm glad they had that time together. Luke came home excited and ready to put a hold on the truck. Trouble was, the truck was out of the price range and too expensive. Luke took it pretty hard, but we told him to keep looking, there is always more out there. It's hard when you are young, you think that there is only one out there with your name on it. After some time and further searching, he went to look in Boone at a blue Dodge Ram. He and I spotted it one day while in town and took a quick peek at it. Luke took our mechanic Justin and went for a thorough look and test drive. Luke found his truck! I am so glad he found the truck that he will take pride in. It is a really cool blue color, similar to the color of all our semi's. It is a sweet truck and I am excited for Luke!

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.
