Good News

Just got back from the doctor for Toddy's nose. It is definately cracked. But, he hit it square on so it is healing very well. Therefore, we do not have to go to a specialist. I have to keep an eye on it though. If I dont think it looks good next week then I have to take him back. Rick will be home Monday night, so he can decide. Here is a picture right before we went to the doctor today!

Toddy's First Major Accident

All I can say is boys will be boys....and this is just the beginning of the many accidents to come. The were running and chasing each other. Toddy fell against the futton. And yep.....he broke his nose. We will find out Thursday if he has to go to a specialist to have it fixed or not. He seems to be in a good mood and slept really good last night. His eye is getting a little black, but nothing major yet. the swelling has seemed to stop. So, pray that it is healing right and we wont have to have surgery. At least we didnt have to go to the ER, just the doctors office. But, from what family has told me, it is just the beginning and I am sure there will be worse. After all, they are their father's sons!!!

Thanksgivng Weekend

This year we spent Thanksgiving up in Dixie at my Father-in-laws cabin. We headed up Wednesday morning with Chris and Sam. Thursday, Sam and I made Turkey dinner and we did some playing outside. On Friday, Gpa Todd and Gma Shelly came up. There wasnt much snow, so Dallon is the only one that got to really ride his snowmobile. But, we tied the sled behind it and we pulled him or he pulled people. I think us adults had just as much fun as he did. On Saturday, Toddy had the flu, so Sam and I opted to stay at the cabin with him. The rest of the crew jumped in Toby's ranger and rode down to Mackay Bar to do some fishing. They caught 2 steelhead and had a great time. On Sunday none of us really wanted to leave so we tied the sled to the town cat and out on the airport we went. Man was it a rough ride when you were in the sled but it sure was fun. Sunday evening we headed home. It was a great time in Dixie.

Potlatch Wrestling Tournament

Dallon's last wrestling tournament was up in Potlatch last Saturday. He won one of his matches and earned himself a 3rd place medal. I am very proud of him. This coming weekend he wrestles in Kooskia.

When Spiderman Attacks!!!

So not much trick-or-treating this year, do to exhausted kids and sickness. But, the boys did dress up and we went to a few places. Dallon was the black Spiderman and Toddy was the red Spiderman. First, we stopped at Gma Skip's and Gpa Jerry's. The boys did a lot of playing for an hour and then decided we should venture on. I didnt think we would get far, since Toddy was extremely crabby and it was only 4:30. But, we headed to Gpa Todd's and Gma Shelly's. She was getting ready to make chocolate chip cookies. Toddy was happy to be there and watched cartoons while Dallon helped make cookies. It was very relaxing and fun. Then, we headed to Cottonwood. Both the boys fell asleep on the way there. So, Dallon was ready to go out once we got there. So, we hooked up with my friends Stephanie and Maria and their kids and went for an hour. It was fun, but we were ready to come home and go to bed. But, on the bright side. Dallon really hasnt asked for any of his candy. Then, Sunday morning we got up and went to Lewiston to trick or treat Grandma Darlene in the hospital. They really werent sure about Grandma being in there. Usually they hang all over her, but she just had knee surgery. But, they wore their costumes and had fun. And Grandma is doing good. Hope every one had a good Halloween.

Dallon Wrestling

Dallon wrestled in Kamiah on Saturday. He had been sick on Thursday night and Friday with a fever and cough. He had no fever on Saturday, but insisted on wrestling. I dont think he felt very good, but he wrestled. He was all ready for his first match with some energy, but not a 100%. He did very well against that kid. And then, it was down hill from there. He was very tired and you could tell he didnt feel good. This video is of his second match against one of his team mates. He is wearing white shoes. He was so tired and had no fight. He did good though. Then his last match he was exhausted. Hopefully, next weekend he will feel good and be ready to wrestle all day. I will try to get more pictures and another video next weekend.
