This morning Hayden had confirmation at Ressurection. He had to be there about 8:45, the actual ceremony began at 9. Hayden, along with about 40 other 1,2 and a few third graders had their first confirmation. Hayden up and told Father Mike a few of his sins and asked for God's forgiveness. Then when everyone finished confessing thier sins, Father Mike talked to the kids some more, then we were dismissed.
We were supposed to go to a horseshow at the Vancleave covered arena, but realized we wouldn't make it in time, so we decided to go over to Ocean Springs to eat lunch at Al Frescos. It was yummy! After lunch we drove over to the show to see what was happeing, the show was over, the only people that were there was Mrs. Vickie and Katie. Katie was jumping when we arrived. We got out and talked a few minutes. Then we headed home.
When we got home, we all went out to the barn. Hayden and I rode. I had set up a jump course yesterday for Hayden and Popcorn, so we both worked on jumping. I rode Bella and Hayden rode Poppy!
We were trying to teach Hayden how and why to walk a jump course before riding it. While Donna and I walked it with him, Jasmine was right there helping out and walking it as well. She was jumping over the jumps, just like we were. I think Jasmine has found a new hobby! Which isn't a bad thing considering it is excercise and she needs to excercise!(Just like we ALL do) Ha!
Both horses did VERY well! Popcorn got a little excited, but not too bad. Hayden really did pretty well, he just needs to learn that it is okay for Popcorn to trot and even canter on a jump course, however they haven't jumped that much so I'm thinking how he handles Popcorn while jumping will improve the more he does it.
I have had a great day so far!
About to go play Rock Band with Hayden on the XBOX!
Kinda tired. Been a long day!
