Paper, paper...where thou art paper?
View from the couch. Due to my inability to move from the couch without a lot of pain...this was my view of life for three days straight.
After a doctor's appt for a potentially blocked bowel, then a trip to ER and a CAT scan revealed a blackened ovary and a ruptured cyst. Then resulted in emergency surgery so I didn't lose any more blood. Thanks to all the prayers, thoughts, meals, and help with my family. I appreciate it so much!
World's greatest kept secret - Rhode's Cinnamon Rolls. The boys went home with my mom, so my hubby and I enjoyed a breakfast together. Peaceful, but not as much fun when there isn't a frosting mess to clean up everywhere
Patton was very unsure at first. Every time Rachel tried talking to him he looked like he wanted to cry. Everytime I said, 'Hi Bubbi" he put on a fake smile then began to enjoy it:)
Ride em boys!
The riding crew - Thanks again!
Great Grandpa Cuyler reading to the boys.
Mommy and Fuzz in North Dakota
The Colwell grandchildren and three great grand children. It was a ton o fun!
Patton's birthday present...Rocky the Robot Dump Truck. AWESOME!
Kenner being the big helper with a cedar closet for Mom.
Exercising with mom's P90X. I can say that my friend Patty and I finished 90 days of workouts. I technically didn't make it all 90 days, but I was close. We are continuing to work out everyday afterschool. We have brushed off the old workout tapes everyone has at school and are using them for a workout now. Fun times!
Fun in the leaves.
Look at that height!
Note: these were the last pictures of Kenner with all his teeth. He had fallen and hurt his front tooth a year ago, but another accident at school with a wooden

Weekly Groceries 10/14/09
I took a couple weeks break from posting on the blog in order to catch up on other things in life...or catch on to...my boys that is. Casey has been doing so much with the boys lately. I love to just sit back and watch how good of a dad he is:) Unfortunately I am not able to sit with a camera, because my camera is on the fritz.
I had a great night at the grocery store:) Gotta love ad matching and getting things cheap:)

The Boys love it!
Kenner got a hot dog from the flying hot dog man!!! (Actually the woman in front of us got it, but she gave it to him!!!)
Gma and Gpa!
Funny boys! Another trip to Menard's. This one was for carpet for our back room...yes Daddy won!
Notice Casey's new flag pole? Yes we bought that for our last house...so if you do the math we have stored it for 5+ years. I bet we saved money buying and storing it:) The reason I took this picture was for the cone in the street. Casey and I bought cones for the boys so they could ride bikes on the streets of Sprague. Yes Sprague is a SMALL town with a lot of stop signs, but some how even the police that refill their cars in Sprague aren't aware of the stop signs. It has slowed traffice down or made more people aware that our two boys are out on their bikes. The rule was that Dad or Mom would set them out in the street, because this meant we gave our permission to ride in the street and we were watching them. The boys decided to take it upon themselves to put them in the street and give themselves permission to ride. (BEEP...means next slide please)
(Next Slide) No they weren't riding their bikes...instead Kenner was pushing Patton in the broken tractor. They found it in the garage. Note: It doesn't move by itself. Kenner pushed his brother from the garage to the front yard and back. What a nice big brother! 
We got to ride in the back of the pick up from the parking lot of Menards to the back lot. CRAZIE I know:)
I also like these next two pictures...they capture NU football at it's best!
