Arlin Jack and his new wheel barrel bucket!
Saw this at Walmart right after the Easter Bunny already got him the wheel barrel. Today buying some potted planter flowers I saw it on clearance. Had to. The new backyard warrants new toys!
Fence is semi temporary till we get the dog run down the side of the house finished…
rockin’ his new hat we got him for school. I’m trying to make them “cool” and tell him his a “big” boy when he wears them so it’s not putting up a fight to get him to wear one this summer…we have to protect the CHEEKS!
In and out…up and down…still hasn’t lost it’s luster (if only it worked)
why so serious A.J.?
Come on…Mom!
This is becoming a regular…Wai!..no- not the pacifier! Arlin Jack is cutting his two incisors, and he’s had some rough patches, he’ll actually go into the drawer and sneak his pac-ee. But I’ll only let it slide when I know he is really uncomfortable. But Otis and the Captain…their becoming best buds. Otis is sooo good with Arlin.
planning the great escape…
Ca! Ca! Ca!
chatting up a storm, these two are actually playmates now…growing boys!
Arlin Jack is cutting two more teeth,poor guy has some rough moments.
Lunch at the Larsen’s
Grapes…these monkey’s love grapes!
Palmer Sioux was over for the afternoon. It was so nice to have a yard for the two of them to kick around a soccer ball. I got some better pictures of the two of them, I’ll try uploading them tomorrow…Chad and Stella are frantically waiting for Mama so we can START the movie!
Mmmm…yogurt.
I think we’re wearing more than we ate.
cheese!
I think it’s time for the strip down…
Round two…butternut squash…
hey, hey, not the camera!
Cheese= Chad Clone. Mama had no part in this.
Missing Pamaw…had her cool toothbrush!
In the high chair to join us at the kitchen island for some pasta and meatballs!
PEEK-A-BOO!
Stella, Chad and I got a few good laughs out of this peek-a-boo game…pasta sauce was E-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e!!!
funny guy.
and my handsome guy.
These pics were from Friday night when Stella got here just in time for dinner. It’s Tuesday now and Pamaw (grandma) is here…and the Captain is having more than a good time showing off for “Pamaw”… we’re definitely testing Mama’s patience!
last Wednesday at a local Mexican restaurant near Sloans Lake the Captain got tangy with a lime. (I think he liked it!)
Thursday…the injured noggin’ after a spill out of a wheel barrel onto the asphalt on the playground at school..
lunchtime Friday…
he loves his food…
those cheeks love food!
All shake it photos…still obsessing with the i-phone application. We are beyond busy, and overly excited for Pamaws visit come Monday. We’re going to take her to school with us Tuesday morning and show her off!
Geez time is flying. I remember when Arlin Jack was just a tiny little guy in a car seat I could carry everywhere. And he’d sleep all the time. Turning into a toddler! Sometimes we bypass nap time and were getting ready for potty training at home…yikes.
Scoped out a new park and a new running route for Mama…it’s over by 4 mile park (I think)
So much free grass space, he didn’t know what to do with himself!
walking down to the water to see the duckies…
lots of duckies! Arlin…”Can you say “duck”?” His vocabulary is simply short of amazing. All you have to do is ask him…can you say and the words keep coming!
luckily I was paying attention…this is the Captain going for it…just going to lay down in the pond and swim merrily with the duckies!??
No, really he wanted in the water!
we played on the playground for a bit after the duckies got a bit aggressive wanting more bread, which we ran out of.
my handsome Jack.
all about the sand, in handfuls…
I snapped all these pictures Wednesday afternoon. We’re housebound now, the weather is icky. Some snow, and a lot of rain…and it’s COLD. At least the Captain got to go to the gym with me this morning and play in the kids play area, he likes it there, lots to do with other kids of all ages.
has to carry around his snacks…
who you mean muggin’?
preparing for the backwards descend down the slide…
lots of laughs…
Went to Harvard Gulch park this afternoon after the Captain woke up from his beauty rest. I was able to finish another card while he was napping so I figure we’d get out and enjoy the 65 degree weather, that and it’s so much easier these days to let the Captain loose outside. He’s been getting really honoree (sp?) when cooped up in the house. No joke today after lunch before the park I was washing the dishes and I turned my head for one minute and he climbed up onto his little table and had my orchid/vase off the window ledge…I about had a heart attack and some not so nice words for the Captain….you do NOT touch Mama’s orchid buddy…………….that’s a big NO..NO!
Army aprons for the kitchen…
I think the Captain feels “important”…he wants to put it on and off like every two seconds!
trying to get the two of them to look at the camera at the same time is simply impossible!
Stella is one patient big sister…
when it comes to her… “pest-Y”…little brother!
(no- this picture was NOT staged)
Thank you Pamaw… Stella and Arlin both love their new aprons and as you can see they offered some afternoon entertainment for them both!
