Jeremiah's 1st Horse Show

This past weekend Jeremiah competed in his 1st horse show. It was quite an adventure. The place he rides at had several events going on. They had a group go before his so he competed with the second group of kids. Jeremiah competed in a group of  four kids. He got forth place but it was his first horse show and his time riding Flash. Right after his event he did a course that included several task.  It was awesome. He did a great job.  At the horse show he received two ribbons.  After he completed his two events, he spent a good bit of time running around so it was time to leave.  He has a very short attention span so we enjoyed the event as long as he was able to.  It was still a enjoyable event for all.

Busy Fun Weekend or Relaxing Weeked!!!

Lets talk about weekends in my shoes.  Our weekends are actually no different than yours. So our weekends can be jammed packed with fun outings or lazy weekends in.  Weekends do have some differences, such as we try to avoid waiting by doing activities early, if the weather seems to not fit with outdoor activities we skip those, and we don't over do. On the other had, I love to feel our weekends with fun stuff to do this time of year but it is unseasonably cold here.  Its not in the 30s or anything but colder than usual and we like it to be warmer to play outside.  I am very cold natured. As I'm typing this, I am wearing pants and long selves with a light jacket and our heat is on.  This is very surprising for the beginning of May.  Last weekend, we had many options for outdoor activities such as going to the zoo, Clemmons Community Day, River Oaks Church fun day, and Kid's Fest for kids with special needs.  That was just choices for Saturday.  The temperature was nice last weekend but it was very cloudy and rain was in the forecast for Sunday.  It looked as if the yucky weather may come in early.  Jeremiah does not do well with change or waiting so instead of chancing this we decided to stay in and enjoy some peace and quiet family time.  We made cookies and watched movies.  This weekend is even colder.  On Saturday, this weekend we could of went to the Dash ball field for a kids day but instead we played with blocks, blew bubbles inside, went to lunch with my sister, went to the mall to ride the carousal, and played basketball outside for a short period of time.  Today is even colder than yesterday.  We made waffles, watched cartoons, I enjoyed apple cider, we had pie, and later we will have sloppy joe sandwiches.  Right now everyone is napping.  I love relaxing days but I ready for fun in the sun and playing outside.  Hopefully some cookouts, friends, family, and some trips. Warm weather should be just around the corner.  For now, I will settle with relaxing and enjoying today along with making plans for Summer. 

Earth Day and Special Olympics Week!

This past week Jeremiah celebrated and participated in both activities for earth day and special Olympics on top of his usual busy schedule and a few extra surprises put in there.  Can you say we had an overwhelming week and his behavior was a major issue all week sadly to say.  On Monday, Jeremiah went to school and got in trouble after a wonderful week the previous week.  Monday is our easy day and I got some new clothes for work. We have no after school activities. Than Tuesday came around and we got up and going about our busy day.  In addition to normal Tuesday activities, Jeremiah went with school to the Special Olympics.  After school we picked Jeremiah up and went to horseback riding.  There was wreck coming back so it took longer than usual to get home so we had a late dinner.  Jeremiah once again did not have a good day at school but at the Special Olympics was good.  My baby was also on Fox 8 news that night. It made Jeremiah famous.  He happened to walk in front of the camera with his class when the news was shooting a clip on the Special Olympics. Wednesday, Jeremiah went to school and rode a bus to Wake Forest for day two of the Special Olympics.  His family joined him at Wake Forest to enjoy a special day and support him in  a track event and a softball throw.  In the softball throw he got fourth place and in the track event he got sixth place but he had been running all morning.  After his events, we left and he went back to school to have a not great rest of the day.   After school we pick him and take him to therapy.  He had speech and occupational therapy after school. Three days into the week and I'm tired already.  I was suppose to start a job on Thursday but they called and said my background check has not came back yet.  Hope to start soon though. On Thursday, Jeremiah went to school and again did not have a awesome day but than we went to therapy again.  On Thursday, he had speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.  Such a busy day.  And now we are on to Friday.  Jeremiah had school and that's it.  Nothing to do after school. Yay! This school week should of been full of fun but is depressing me from hearing that my son is not having good days at school. Hopefully the next week will be better for my little ball of energy at least he had a lot going on at school and we also had a special house guest because her mom had twins.  This may have thrown his week off a bit more.  Glad it is over and now we can more on to our weekend and hopefully better weeks to come.  The school year is quickly coming to an end.
