Chad met his parents and took Tristan, Stella, and Arlin to the Boulder Festival on Saturday while I was in Milwaukee. Looks like fun in the sun. The top picture is Tristan and Stella sword fighting. And the others are shots of Stella on some jumper thing…hopefully something that was done before lunch! Papa called me worried Captain Jack got sun burnt, but turns out he was just a little rosey on the legs from crawling around on the grass.
Thank you Abby for remembering your camera! This Saturday we got to hang with the Woefel’s and chill out at our house and Platt Park. Otis came along for the park visit. Fun in the sun, it was really a perfect day, not too warm, not too breezy! Sunday morning Arlin crawled across the sofa for the t.v. remote! Stay tuned…for the action shot on Arlin Tube…yes folks we captured the first army crawl on video!
Captain Jack and I went for a long walk almost to downtown Denver and then back to our neighborhood to hang out in Platt Park yesterday. We enjoyed each others company for a couple of hours laying on Captain Jack’s custom quilt made with love from Grandma, it was a beautiful warm day.
We tried out some new baby sun tan lotion that Chad and I picked up at the Wild Oats natural grocery store…yay it worked! No rosy cheeks or hamhocks this morning. Arlin is quite the mover and shaker these days. If you take his pants and socks off so he can get some friction going he is all over the place. I teased papa we’d have to invest in some knee pads for Arlin to learn how to crawl in our house…hence no carpet!
Tuesday this week the weather was amazing! It was so warm and sunny. Arlin and I walked to the Wild Oats market about five blocks from our house, to get some “green” laundry detergent and some homeopathic all natural teething tablets a friend suggested for his teething discomfort.
We stopped by a couple different places to hand out some derby season schedules and say hi…it was so nice to be outside. I can not wait for the summer months and our family vacation coming up in June…to the Florida Keys we go! Arlin’s first time to the beach! (oh, how mama misses the beach sometimes!)
Yesterday all three boys went for a walk…
Papa, Captain Jack, and Reverend Otis Maximus!
Arlin has been kind of fussy lately, I’m pretty sure it’s a combination of teething and I think he may have a little cold going on. Whenever little man is fighting sleep a walk does the job! You can pretty much guarantee by the time you get home he’s out like a light.
And indeed when the boys got home Arlin was fast asleep…and Rev. Otis was right behind him, tuckered out he put himself in his crate. And mama was off to derby practice for the night.
We went out for Sushi Friday night to a place called Osaka’s on Colorado Blvd. we had never been there before but it was recommended by a few different friends so we thought we’d try it out. Arlin ate when we were eating and as you can see in the first picture his belly was full enough to pop the button on his pants!
Papa Says…”Well he’s definitely Italian!”
We both got a good laugh! As dinner progressed captain Jack’s patience wore thin. The next two pictures are him trying to escape his car seat!!!
Can we get some cheeks over here?! I think Arlin Jack needs another serving of cheeks! haha. I can’t even blame it on the car seat…
“Well it’s the car seat that smashes his cheeks…makin’ them look chubby!”
Nope this little guy has cheeks for days. I love em’!!!
