Weekend in Woodruff...

We kinda decided last minute to make a trip up to visit my parents in Woodruff. Once Justin got off work on Saturday we packed up and were on our way. I didn't put Ryken down for a nap that day cause I was hoping that he would just sleep on the way up and then Justin could sleep too and me.... well I would drive. : ) But of course things never go as planned. Ryken had been pretty fussy that day and so I wasn't sure we should even go up. But Justin said we should cause he knew I wanted to go. So we went anyways and Ryken slept for about a total of maybe 45 mins! Not good. So we decided to put a movie on for him, and once he is watching that he never wants to close his eyes.

Here he is so into the movie. And he doesn't look so well either. Well as the trip went on I looked back at him and his eyes were all red and watering cause he was so tired and didn't want to sleep. And his cheeks were even more red then in the picture. He was burning up! So we gave him some Tylenol hoping it would help. Once we got to Woodruff he was still the same and in a grumpy mood. Needless to say he nor we got much sleep that night. Even Grandma woke up tryin to help out. We got him in a good mood around 4 that morning and then at 4:30 he decided he wanted to go to sleep. He was still running a fever for the next few days but that didn't stop him from wanting to be outside doing something. So we found some bubbles and he wanted to try and blow some himself.It was so funny watching him try to blow the bubbles, he even succeeded a few times. And even though he didn't want to eat any real food he did however take grandma up on her offer for some candy.His mouth was full of whopper eggs. And he enjoyed them so much we had to hide the bag. And as you can tell his face was a little blue after a few too. : ) He also found about 3 different flashlights of Grandpa's to play with. He loved them! He kept wanting someone to turn one on for him and would say "light" as he walked around shining it on anything and everything. We had a pretty good time while were there aside from the fact that Ryken wasn't feeling well at all. He still had a few moments that he was fun to be around. And we all got to relax a little and enjoy the cooler weather. Since Ryken hadn't gotten much sleep while we were there, he had several little cat naps on Justin and I. And he usually never will fall asleep on you unless he is dead tired. Which is what he was as you can tell in the picture. That was the only nice thing about him not feeling good was that he cuddled a little bit, and he never does that.

So thanks Mom and Dad for taking care of us and feeding us this past weekend. We had lots of fun. And sorry that Ryken wasn't feeling the best while we were there but the help you gave was the best. : ) LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
