More of Lily

Eden and Matt had to go run a couple of errands yesterday,(Eden is feeling much better) and I said "I'll watch Lily!!!!!!!!" So she and I had lunch, she had a bath, and a nap and a full diaper. LOL. She's so precious. I can't get enough of her. Here's some photos of Miss Lily and the rest of us.(more soon).....

We FINALLY found it!

Since we received Nana's ashes, Mom and I've been trying to find something for them that wasn't depressing or that looked like an urn. We were at a really awesome shop here in Williston, ordering Eden some lilies, when Mom asked them if they might have something that would work. The lady showed us several things and we both just knew when we saw it.

I think we did good. We think Nana would approve and we have her next to one of her cowboys she loved.  Here's some photos of it and don't look too close, I dusted the house AFTER the photo, why I didn't do it before is beyond me....LOL.

Some of the Bodas are coming to Graham in June

Floyd and Nick are coming to Graham to pick up Mom and Buzz and they are leaving Williston on June 30th. They hope to get to Graham and visit family and then pack up the U Haul and leave out to bring Mom and Buzz home. No, we don't have a house YET, (we thought we did until last night....sigh), but we have a bit of space for them and we want them here asap. 
So, if ya want some good books, family goodies, junk, or whatever, get to Graham and load up! Mom's been packing and working on all this, but you know what I'm gonna say...LOL. 
I'm doing ok. A tad down in the dumps about missing out on the house we wanted, but otherwise, doing fine. Well, I'm sick but other than that, I'm fine. LOL! Work is great, the gals are a blast to work with and I'm learning lots. Buster's hand still gives him fits but it's getting better. He's at work and slowly getting back into the swing of things. Madison had a bit of a stomach virus and missed a couple of days of school, but she's fine. Nick is doing fine too. They are both loving school. 
I'm reading the blog all the time, but I'm not posting a lot. I tend to house hunt when I'm online. LOL!
Ya'll take care!

Calling all available family......

Now it's not that we expect ya'll to drop EVERYTHING and run to Graham, but............
Mom can sure use help. Buster is planning on getting her in June/early July so if you wanna help go through stuff, help pack, help with a yard sale, help throw away stuff or just help, come on by Mom's house.

Buster and Nicky are driving down to Graham to load a UHaul and drive her back, but they aren't going to have time to pack and etc...so we sure could use the help.

If you can, call or email Mom with a date you can come by. Remember, Buzz lives with her, so you'll need to grab a Buzz treat when you come in the house!

Happy Easter

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Buster is working half a day today and I'm home cooking. Turkey, rice/broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs,green beans and hot rolls. YUM. Then, I guess it's laundry for the rest of the day for me! The kids go across the street and play basketball some. It's gotten very nice here and not cold, just chilly. Madison jammed her finger yesterday and it's blue. She can move it so I don't think it's broken. Kids! LOL!
My job is going great and I am making some wonderful friends. We went out to a play ("Boeing Boeing") and dinner last weekend with a friend that Buster works with and his girlfriend. I think I could become pals with her easily.
Buster is busy and exhausted, but he's thrilled he's able to work. His hand hurts still and may always, but he's doing well.



Have a question for ya'll.....

Mom is going to move here to be with us hopefully this summer. She's got a buyer for her house and we are about to start the process of looking at homes here. Mom has no strength in her hands whatsoever and is weak. Can any of you come to Graham once in a while to help her pack and go through things? If it wasn't desperately needed, I wouldn't ask. Right now, it looks as though Buster will end up flying to Graham and then driving Mom here..but nothing is set as of yet. What she needs is help packing. She is going to sell a lot of things, but will also give items to family. Please, please, think about going and helping her out.

Mom

Today, while at work, Mom fainted. They called 911 and took her to the ER. She's fine. Not sure what the deal was..but she's spending the night in the hospital. Buster was there, or he went to Wal Mart to tell my mother in law, Ruth to take care of Buzz.
Anyway, she's ok, but a bit weak. I was terrified cause I'd been trying to call her all day and then finally called Walmart. They told me that "yeah, your Mom worked today, but she fainted and we called 911" No one called me. I wasn't happy.
Anyway, Mom is doing ok, Buzz is being taken care of and my stupid blackberry didn't charge, so I can't call Bula and John cause I can't get their number. Can someone let them know?
I'll keep you posted.
Love to all.

Greetings from Williston,North Dakota!!!!

Hello all!
We are loving it here in Williston. Floyd was given "an offer her couldn't refuse' and we are going to be moving here soon. Mom is going to get custody of our baby, Buzz, since apartment life wouldn't really suit him right now. Mom will move up when housing becomes available.
It's nice here. The town is larger than Graham, but not much. It's got parks for kids everywhere, bike trails, a skateboarding/bike park, ice rink, two movie theaters and more. VERY nice people everywhere and great weather. Yes, it's going to be cold as all get out in the winter,but we'll learn to adjust. I'm scared,nervous, excited and happy about this.
Eden (for now at least) will remain in Irving at DeVry. She is FINALLY employed and is moving to another apartment where she doesn't have to worry about her roomates stealing her food or smoking pot. (yeah, that's not good, is it?) She has made some good friends and is moving in with them and we are please. Eden has also found a church home in Irving and says her Nana would be thrilled.
So, in a couple of weeks, if you know anyone who loves yard sales, send them to 1908 Medora in Graham because we are going to have a massive moving sale where everything MUST go!
I'll send photos of the town when I can.
Love you all.

Mom

I had to take my Mom to the ER last night around 12:30. She has carpal tunnel in her left wrist and it flaired up so badly that she couldn't stand it. The ER doc gave her a strong pain med and a shot of steroids, and I took her home with me. She said that 'strong' pain shot wore off in no time and she didn't sleep much. She is hurting bad again today and is attempting a nap. I'll take her home in a while.
She can't get into her doctor til Aug. 12th, so she might be miserable for a bit. Just wanted to keep ya'll posted. I'll let you know how she's doing.
