Mother's Day and Bryson's Bday

 The boys made a nice message for Jana. We enjoyed a Honey Baked ham for dinner and did our best to show Jana our love for her. We love her so much!

 Bryson chose to go to Old Spaghetti Factory for his birthday...Ryan is such a good helper with Brady

 Bryson enjoyed the happy birthday singing

 ...big breath...

 ...big blow...

 ...and the eating began...mmmmmmm

 Bryson opened gifts...some lego sets and a new transformer...

...and then he found a new bike. We practiced riding it on Saturday and after a great run for me, he picked it up quickly. He has been riding his scooter for so long that once he realized that balancing on the bike is the same as balancing on the scooter it all came together. There were some great spiritual analogies to teaching Bryson to ride his bike too. I believed in him more than he believed in his capability; it was only when I let go that he learned to balance on his bike for himself and had the joy that came with it versus the fear that he couldn't do it; I had to teach him how to stop and fall and then get back up and go; he enjoyed the thrill of acceleration and the wind blowing through his hair and the association and encouragement of his whole family...fun and sweaty, for me.
