Weekend Recap

I can't believe another weekend has come and gone! We are nearing the end of October so fast!! We had a nice weekend here at the Boedecker's.
Friday Brit and I were both off work by 3pm!!! AWESOME!! We picked up the kids from school and headed to Brookings for groceries and such! We were home and unloaded by 7:30 and got to enjoy the evening with the kids!
Saturday the kids bowled in the afternoon and then we did some cleaning. We had some friends and their daughter over for supper, Brit grilled country ribs that he marinates specially and talk about YUMMY!! After supper we all hung out and visited and played till 8pm then headed out to Lake Madison where there was a haunted house. We were a bit nervous about taking Janaya because of her age but they all jumped up and down saying they wanted to go! HA! It started out OK, Janaya was doing great and walking on her own(without Daddy carrying her). It appeared that everything was "decor" and we had convinced her of that, Jackson and Lydia ( both 7) were not so much convinced and ready to cry at any moment. Then it happened, two of the "decor" were real and started to move and make noise, mixed with Andy's "boo's" we got cornered and the two lost it!! I have never seen such a look of PURE FRIGHT on any two children's faces and it took everything I had to hold the two until Jill could relieve me of Lydia! Once they realized how scared they were they flipped on the lights, showed themselves and all was calm. Jackson did take some outside, in the fresh air talking with Daddy to fully calm but it ended with laughs and smiles! The funny part was he was the first to say "yes lets go" and the first ready and in the van. All the other kids, including Janaya laughed! They ended up with treats too, all in all a fun time.
Sunday brought Sunday school and LAUNDRY for mommy! I do it like 3 times a week or more but Sunday always seems to have so much to do??! I hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Boys School Pictures!!

This and that...

We had a nice relaxing weekend here! It is getting cold too fast...as if it's ever slow enough..right? The kids had bowling on Saturday, Julia bowled her highest game ever, 136!! YAY Julia!! Janaya did much better sitting and waiting to bowl rather than run laps around the place!HA!

Sunday the kids had Sunday school and Brit and I enjoyed breakfast at Mcdonalds alone!! The rest of the day was R&R and laundry. We are kind of getting into "movie" season again with it being cold. We also got our Halloween decor up, now we just need to go get some Pumpkins!

The kids got a Spiderman cartoon and The Son of the Mask.

Mom and Dad got The Love Guru, and The Happening! Last weekend it was The Eye. All 3 are pretty good movies, but I'd have to say The Eye kept me on my seat or flying through the roof the entire movie!!

I need to find time to get to my moms to scan the boys school pictures for you all! Julia was sick that day so she won't get hers done till the 30th of October! They turned out good so hopefully this weekend I can get that done!

Where ya been Boedecker's??

Quite often I think of my blog and quite often I have moments where I say "I should blog about this"!! Now not so "often" do I get here, yes I know! Have I said this before??

So over the weekend the kids bowled on Saturday and we QUICKLY realized that Janaya sits good for the first few frames and then has a friend or two she needs to socialize with! She had fun though so I think we'll keep her in!
Sunday was Sunday school and Janaya got to bring cousin Natalyie along and I think she'll be going more often with her now. After church we came home relaxed and then took the family to Sioux Falls for supper at ....The Olive Garden...YUM!!!

The kids are adjusting to riding the bus, since I have too many to fit in the van they have had to start this again. It has its "issues" but is smoothing out!
Julia has found herself a busy girl and is giving up band. I was a bit discouraged but she's only in the 5th grade she has many years ahead to be weighted down!!

The boys are being boys and really into sports again this year. They still favor football, I'd like to try to get them to a Pro game sometime, FUN STUFF!!

As for me I am keeping busy here at home with Daycare and my normal housework, been feeling overwhelmed with decisions and if you know me I stress EASY! HA! Have you ever been hypnotized or seen it done?? There was a seminar held here in town last night to help with weight loss and quitting smoking using Hypnosis. A friend and I are always talking about losing weight so we went and gave it a try, if nothing happens I'm not out anything!! It was cool, very relaxing and interesting. I don't know if it will actually work but I do know I felt that something happened??!! It's different than stage Hypnotism so we'll see.

Well thats all I can think of for now...Have a good Day!!

Looking for a new Opportunity??!!

So I have some news...some may not like it...some may like it...and some might not care either way..HA! So a few times now Brit and I have discussed moving to a whole new town or city all together and not just a new house!
Well after much discussion, research and talking to our families we are going to look into or should I say pursue a HUGE move to....Fargo, ND!! Job opportunity and schooling for Brit are AWESOME and we need to do whats right for our family. I have never left Madison since moving here in 5th grade, and not sure how to live away from my MOM, but I'm willing to try!
I have found 3 Daycare jobs that would be perfect for me and still be able to take Janaya with me when she's not in school. I have also been looking at houses online and there are so many I can't even imagine seeing them all!! We may rent for awhile who knows.
So now it's just putting it all in motion, the job Brit is going to apply for pays very well and has a relocation bonus plus would allow for him to take classes and work at the same time! I know I never talk about this but Brit was a pre-med student and has the desire to finish school they have Pharmacy program at NDSU and that is another profession he is highly interested in!!
I guess I can't say when this is going to happen, I know it will be sometime between now and May, that would allow for the kids to finish school here this year!
We hope and pray it's a good decision and are putting it in God's hands!!
