"Bugs"

I think we somehow ran across some "sick bugs". It started with Brit who had a headache (like a Migraine) and extreme nausea! The next day it was my turn...and I did get a Migraine because of my history with them. Brit feels fine now and I feel much better just can't get rid of this dull head pain and my stomach is so "tight" feeling. Today Jackson stayed home with nausea and a headache as well. Janaya woke up yesterday with a bad tight, barking, deep cough. I gave her some Mucinex and let her go to school. When she came home she looked rough and had a temp of 102. She was layed out all night...was up (with Momma) half the night and all day today. I am fighting a fever that spikes every 4 hours!!! Her cough is horrible and now she complains of "aches"! Today was supposed to be her birthday party at Chuckie Cheese and so now she is heart broken as well. I'm praying she feels better soon!!!

This weekend Natylie and Braedyn will be here and we are helping Papa and Grandma with their rummage sale. They boys are off "helping" them set up now. I hope everyone has a Great weekend!

Happy Birthday...

My dear baby girl you turned 5 today! I keep wishing for time to slow down...I asked Daddy last night if he thought we would wake up today and it would be 5 years ago...I treasure each year. You are getting so big and will start Kindergarten in the fall and you are loving every minute of it. I am so proud to be your mommy and will always love you. Enjoy your special day Princess!!

AWESOME

Oh what a beautiful weekend!! So the title of the post ...ya I'm describing the Weather...AWESOME!! The kids enjoyed so much time outside this weekend. All their friends were out and it was fun! Today was debate able...snow pants or not?? Well there is mud...but you'll be too warm...what do ya do??

Update on Brit: There is NO fracture...YAY! He has a sever lower back Sprain/Strain and will be on "light" duty until further notice. It also has helped the doc diagnose an issue with how his lower vertebrae are lining up. He is not doing ANY lifting yet and is doing "paper work" for his boss and the Safety Director. He has an appointment Tuesday at Brookings Pain Management for some injections to help obviously with "pain"!

There is not much new with me. I think starting tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going to start watching Corbin so Jill can go back to work. I think I can handle just one cute little guy and since my schooling will be online I can still handle that. It will only be till she is ready to take him to daycare...or is able to find one...HA! It will be good for both of us!

Not much else going on...Happy Monday!

Is there a way I can combine the blog and Face Book together??? I sure think it would be easier or just that I wouldn't forget so easy. For those of you that don't have FB you should...very fun!
Onto the kids...they are all doing really well. Julia and Jordon bowled in the Pepsi Tournament in Sioux Falls last weekend and my cousin Eric (Julia's godfather) was able to come watch and then we got to go have lunch with him and visit so that was VERY nice! The kids did good bowling. Jackson and Janaya stayed home with Grandma & Grandpa Hoeke and had a fun day there.
All the kids are doing well in school and are anxiously awaiting Spring!! There have been a few nice days where they have been able to go ride bike and play outside and they loved it!! On those days when everything gets warm we have what I call Lake Boedecker in the yard...you have to walk on crates to get out the yard! I am hoping that dries up REAL fast!
Julia and I have been working on some Fundraising letters and packets for her trip to Washington D.C.!! I heard last night that one of the groups has already met and she has her first donation!!!

Brit hurt his back at work last Thursday while lifting with another person. He came home that day saw a Chiropractor and then went for a half day on Friday, back to the same Chiropractor and then hurt all weekend. Monday he stayed home and back to Chiropractor. Tuesday he called back to Safety Director at work and they set up an appointment with another Chiropractor in town. He has been seeing him 2 times a day since Tuesday now and is still home!! At first he thought just a sprain or lower crack. He is awaiting a X-ray reading from Minneapolis as he is thinking there could be a small fracture!!?? Brit is on muscle relaxers now and just doing what he can to stay as comfortable as possible. He goes again to the doc this afternoon and are hoping the results are in!

I'm anxiously awaiting the start of classes in a few weeks I have everything done I needed to do and have orientation on the 26th of March!

I can't think of much else to report right now...but I most likely will after I hit publish..HA! I hope everyone else is well. Have a Great Day!!

Proud is an understatement!!!

I realize this letter may be hard to read, but if you can read it you will understand the title of my post! Julia has been nominated by her teacher to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC this Summer! There are alot of details to get worked out before the deadline one being FUNDING!! I am so proud of Julia!!
