Let's talk tractors and torture the cat

I have neglected up to this point (because I've been so lax in blogging lately) to mention that my sister, Teresa, had surgery a little over two weeks ago. She had some disks in her lower back (three, to be exact) that the stuffing had come out of, so they went in through her belly and put in some spacers and fused those puppies together. Didn't look like fun and she assures me it wasn't. But now she's on the good drugs and I'm going without. This past weekend I went to Ellinwood to see the little boys and visit the infirm Teresa. Zach went with me to her house on Saturday so his mom and dad could run errands. Zach got to try out Uncle Kenny's miniature tractor. He really enjoyed the ride I gave him. And it was a great workout for me. Really.

After lunch and his nap, Caden dropped by with his mom. My nephew Christopher was in town from Oklahoma City for the weekend, too. Zach and Caden talked and bonded over Kenny's tractor. After their version of tractor talk, the boys turned to torturing Gus (it's short for Asparagus), the cat. I shot some very amateur video of them, but I couldn't resist posting it. Notice how Caden samples Gus' tail.
