The Arp Family: July 2009

Need a vacation after a vacation!

We had a wonderful time visiting our family and friends, but we definitely could have used a few days to recover before going back to work!! Since we have been home Beckett had one tooth popped through and is working on another one, he is pulling him self every where (we will be in trouble once he really starts crawling!!), and saying dada dada dada!! Brian sure is a proud dad!!!
We also discovered that Beckett loves to chew on corn on the cob!! It must feel good on those teethers!

Today was our 2 year wedding Anniversary, Brian had a wonderful afternoon planned for us, until Beckett ran a 102 temperature!! So we spent the afternoon at the doctors office, and came home with an ear infection. Our poor baby boy.

Celebrating the 4th of July in Culberston!

It was wonderful to be back in Culbertson, Ne celebrating the 4th with Brian's family! We got to see so many people that hadn't met Beckett yet, which was nice! The 4th is big in his town, with a Parade to kick of the 4th, a rub duck race down the river, a ton of other activities, a street dance and fireworks to end the night! A town of 500 triples during this holiday!

We also got spoiled by Grandma Flo making her famous lasagna and meatballs!! Which was delicious!!

(Hopefully we can get more pictures from the family!)

Partied too hard!!

Hanging out with Grandpa Dennis!

Happy 4th of July!!

Yummy watermelon!

I couldn't resist.. how precious!

Beckett hanging out with the big boys playing video games. Daniel babysits so we got to meet the boy!

Trip to Colorado

Well, we can only brag so much about Beckett and what a great boy he is!! But he traveled so well, during our trip we couldn't believe it. He was even teething and hardly fussed about it! We were truly impressed!! haha

Our first stop was at our friend the Cassidy's (Jeremy, Diana, Simeon (our Godson) and coming soon Joseph James!). We had a blast like old times playing pitch at night after the little boys went to bed, which I must add that the girl beat the boys!!! We went to Boulder and walked Pearl Street, we also went to the 16th St. Mall in down town Denver! Brian loves sky scrapers so he got a ton of pictures there! Beckett did a lot of 1st times while we were there, took a bath with a friend in a big bath tub, and got to go swimming!! He loves the water, but would rather sit in his floaty and hang out!!

It was extremely nice to get out of Atchison for a while and see the beautiful mountains! We also got to stop by and visit Grandma Sharon! It was so great to have lunch and spend time with her!!
