This is what happens when you are chasing your big brother through the house and he moves... leaving your face to meet the edge of the coffee table. OUCH ...
Day one (yesterday)
Day Two (today)
Not as swollen today, but much more colorful!
WOW it's been a long time... I bet you're surprised to hear from me again!
He went from training wheels to pro in seconds. Bryan took the training wheels off and he TOOK OFF with no help at all. 
The only problem he has is starting off himself, but he's already getting the hang of that!
He's pretty proud that he can ride like a BIG boy!! I can't say that I'm suprised - He's always done this - it's like he watches and learns how to do things right then just DOES IT. 
Here's a video of his great job riding. 
He's had a rougher day today though... after another night with a low grade fever and headache (this has been going off and on since Friday) I took him to the doctor this morning - thinking he had a sinus infection.
This is an everyday occurrence in our house.
Usually Wyatt starts it.. (when no one suspects it)
Then Hayden continues it..
Then not too far behind them is big bro Carter and Daddy jumping in the mix...
Oh the joys of boys!
Easter weekend was a lot of fun.
We had some friends (Tony and Mary) who live nearby come up and visit...
they brought their 4 wheelers (one is "Carter-sized")
and have left them in our care for the week!
I don't think this boy can stop smiling.... 
Wyatt was actually having fun.. you just can't tell it!
I boiled "some" (meaning a DOZEN) eggs to dye for Easter...
but then Bryan "remembered" blowing out the yoke of eggs with his Grandma when he was little....
So I left that up to him...
Which left me with a DOZEN eggs in a huge bowl and LOTS of scrambled eggs the next day!
Carter even took a break from his Wii playing to decorate too.
Although Wyatt HAD to do everything HIMSELF... 
We gave the boys their Easter baskets on Saturday.. and idea I got from Holly's post the other day. It really helps separating the FUN of candy, eggs, baskets, Easter bunny with the REASON we celebrate Easter. Rejoicing in our Risen Saviour!
On Easter we were in such a rush to get to church I forgot to get the boys picture BEFORE.. 
Oh.. and this... (notice Wyatt took off his shoe!!)
Fortunately his first picture was the best one!
While Andrew and his family were visiting last weekend we made a trip over to Chicago. If you are ever in Chicago you HAVE to make a trip to the children's museum. It's great!! We had such a blast and the kids did too! The price may be a little steep at $10 a person (kids too - except for under one year.) BUT - if you check their site they have discount and even FREE days or half days!!! SOOOOOOO worth it even if you pay the full price. Go prepared to spend a LONNNG time the there!
Bailey (my niece on the left) did great tooo. Hayden (he's on the right) was "overly cautious" and didn't want to walk out after climbing up... 
Wyatt takes after Carter and practically RAN over Hayden to the end of it..
Wyatt going again... with NO ONE to slow him down!! That boy is a bulldozer to the core!
Bailey again...
The building was a little over Wyatt's level... but they have fun little bolt puzzles that were perfect for him!
Hayden just liked dressing up like "Superman Builder Hayden"
They took some pictures of their finished Tree house... it turned out pretty impressive...
It even tasted good... YUCK!
Hayden had his missions he was doing... Notice the plea for help in his eyes - instead Aunt Rachael took this picture... LOVE IT!
Another room was a town... with different things in the town.. grocery store... bus... auto shop...
They had a "undercity" build the plumbing area that Carter spent time in... the boy is such a builder!!!
Wyatt driving the ambulance..
There were soooo many rooms... insect/garden, dino dig, forest, art, games, safety room...we didn't spend as much time in the rest of them... and I didn't get pictures from them either. I know if we went back there would still be so much to do...
It was SOO much fun... we were all wiped out!!! But of course had to get a picture on Navy Pier (for the record... Rachael and I DIDN'T want to be in the picture.. Wyatt just wouldn't let me put him down!) 
After that we went for some great Chicago pizza at our favorite place Giordano's... GO there and get their stuffed deep dish pizza.... sooo good - one piece FILLS you up!
