The Arp Family: August 2009

What is the little man up to these days....

Here is the update on the little man.... He has his two bottom teeth and is working on his top ones! What a joy teething has been with two ear infections. He is crawling up a storm, but still army crawling!! He will get up on all fours to sit up from crawling and to pull himself up, but he won't crawl that way! He is saying dada, baba, and mama and loves just to jabber! Him and Cimba (our huge cat) are getting along great, I think Cimba loves the attention from Beckett and doesn't mind when his hair gets pulled!! Beckett also loves to give kisses, open mouth ones that is, but we'll take that! Its so cute! Nothing else new that I can think of, just that Beckett is a wonderful baby! Please pray for health and happiness for us!! We love and miss you all!

Vegas Baby....

Beckett got to go on his first airplane ride to Las Vegas! Jenny (Brian's sister) got married there, on Saturday Aug. 8th, 2009. Beckett was the an amazing traveler on the plane, better than we ever thought he would be! He also did awesome, as we walked around the strip. The only problem we had was the time zone difference, that was a killer!! Needless to say we got to experience Vegas at 6am everyday (not a whole lot going on!!!) and we were at the pool by 8am!

In the KC airport, waiting for our plane!

Eating dinner on the plane.. wow was that a mess!

Our 1st camping trip!

Well, finally we will update everyone on our summer! We went to the Carp Derby with the Keefer family. Yes, I did say Carp Derby!!!! It's annual camping trip in the summer with family and friends. There was over 30+ people there from 60+ years old to the youngest Beckett at 7 months! This exciting event takes place on the Missouri River across from Yankton, SD. It is absolutely beautiful there on the bluffs and the water is almost clear! We spend, our time fishing, swimming, enjoying the view and the great company.

Well we planned for 90+ degree weather, but it was in the 70's during the day and 40-50's at night. Brrr is right! Beckett got to sleep in moms sleeping bag with her! (yay cuddle time!)
