Ahhh! I can't believe I haven't blogged about all this stuff yet! We've had a lot going on and nothing at the same time! Last Tuesday Hayden bumped his head and I was looking at it and he had this HUGE bump I look and it and I freaked out because it had legs! I scooped him up and brought him to McDonalds to see Jason. Jason was like yup its a monster woodtick, super stuck in his head. Okay off to Urgent Care we go. So he had it removed at Urgent Care with both the nurse and Doctor saying Gross! (how can a dr say gross, really??) He got a little shot of something good and out it came with a hunk of skin. So he got a huge bandage wrapped around his head(See picture below) due to his head bleeding. He was like whatever the whole time. The woodtick was flesh colored and the size of a lima bean, it was nasty! I learned that ticks don't lay eggs on humans or other hosts they will only lay eggs on the ground. Good!

I was lucky enough to see Sarah, Casey and Breckin a bunch before they had to leave for Arizona. Breckin is so cute and loved me! He would coo and smile at me. I forgot how sweet they are at that age just learning to interact, oh he melted my heart. Hayden liked him too. Telling me he had beautiful eyes and little tiny baby ears.

Jason, Hayden, and I went to Port Wing, Herbster, Bayfield, and Washburn on Saturday. We had a fun little family outing. (We had plans on Saturday and they got sick, we hope they are feeling better!) We hiked at Twin Falls Park, played at an awesome little park in Herbster and went to the beach there. We headed to Bayfield for lunch, ice cream and a walk about the town. Hayden saw a pirate ship on the water, he thought that was pretty cool. Then it was off to our dairy in Washburn for milk and ice cream. We had a very fun day!

Sunday Hayden and I went with my mom and dad to the Greek Festival in Duluth. We had very yummy food. Hayden loved the meat he had(lamb or pork, I can't remember) and ate some other dishes we tried. We also walked on the Lakewalk that night with them, Jason too! Take a look at the pictures there were beautiful clouds and colors on Sunday night.

All right I am going to brag about my son, so beware! Hayden is learning to spell! He knows religiously how to spell his name and write it without help. I am so proud of him, granted he does have an easy name to write and its only Hayden I haven't even started with Smith yet. He catches on so easy! I have been spelling words for him when he asks questions. Like what a new remote did. I told him to push the ON and he did and i asked him what that word means and he said ON(He isn't dumb I suppose I should give him a little credit!) the same with OFF. Good Job Hayden!
