Lake Claiborne

It is summer, and time for the lake!  We spent the weekend playing on the water with the Owens crew.  Ryland and Reed loved riding on the boat right in the front.

 

One of the favorite things for the boys, was to swim between the pontoons.  This was a highlight for Reed.  Look how happy he was!  They also had fun jumping off the boat and riding on the tubes. 

 

Obviously, the fun wore these two completely out.  

 

Lake weekend

John Chris wanted to take Ryland for a ride on the jet ski. I agreed as long as he would be careful and go slow.


I think Ryland's expression was pretty funny when John Chris cranked the jet ski.

At this point I am a little sick to my stomach. John Chris is going pretty fast with my precious baby. I could see that Ryland was smiling and seemed to be having fun, so I tried to relax. I am thinking that this child has a bit of a daredevil streak in him.

A refreshing swim in the lake. Ahhhhh!

We all hopped on the jet ski for a ride.

Look at Ryland's long hair blowing in the wind.

Ryland and Jackson are having a blast. They were soaking up the sun and eating crunchies. Those bellies are too cute.

The Allison family go for a ride on the tube.

Ryland laughed when we hit a little wake and the ride got bumpy. It was so much fun!!!!

Rodney and Jackson take their turn on the tube.

Double ear infection

Ryland was up most of last night. He ran a 102.5 fever for about an hour before it finally broke. He isn't pulling at his ears, but this is typical fussiness with an ear infection. We headed to the pediatrician for a visit, and of course it was a double ear infection. Ryland is back on an antibiotic and continuing the decongestant.

I have said one more ear infection, and we are going to a specialist. Today I made the call. Ryland has an appointment for consultation in 2 weeks. I have spoken to the doctor, and we will go ahead and schedule a operation for tubes when we go in. I hope that the surgery will be helpful and give Ryland more happy days!

Desitin is delicious!

Ryland has had a tube fetish for a little while now. He loves anything that comes in a tube!

Lotion, makeup, and Desitin

He finally figured out today how to snap the cap off of the tube. He must have been curious, so he decided to give it a taste test.
