Visitors
Two of my beautiful nieces are in town from Arizona. They are here for a week to explore Oregon and all it's good weirdness. Corbin and I picked them up on Wednesday and headed to NW 23rd to browse through shops and get some food.
The girls found some cute stuff and we went to Salt and Straw, a very popular newer ice cream place known for its unusual flavors. It was pretty busy even on a Wednesday afternoon.
Here is my boy with his beautiful cousins with our taste flight of ice cream. We got (if I can remember right) -- freckled strawberry coconut sorbet (Traci's favorite of them), cinnamon snickerdoodle, strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper (my favorite I think) and sea salt with caramel.
They were definitely unique.
If you won't doubt my coolness, I actually think I prefer more traditional flavors. But I would be willing to go back and try more unique ones!
Glad Traci and Jamie were really to give them a try, too! And Corbin tried them also. The cinnamon one made him literally shiver. I think he likes plain vanilla best, too!!

It is a full time job keeping up with Corbin. He loves to pull things out of drawers and toss papers off of the coffee table.
Usually when I shower, I put him in the exersaucer thing so he is a bit contained. He often screams for most of the shower.
Yesterday, though, I let him play with my box of hair stuff. He loved it! Here's that proof.
More evidence that toys are highly overrated. :)

Corbin and I are enjoying our longer days together. It definitely adds a new level of routine for me. I am enjoying it, but there are some things that I feel like I have done a lot. Like wash off his high chair tray. Like a million times since school got out. Ahhh...motherhood.
We bought a ton of these balls at a garage sale and so tom added them to Corbin's bath a couple nights ago. Actually this is only half of them. Corbin was a bit overwhelmed by them. He was much happier once he helped tom put most of them away. He then played with the 6 or so he left.
We also joined gymboree (thanks, groupon!). We have had one class and we went to one open gym time. Love it!! Cheesy and so fun!
Here is a couple of those photos!
King of the bridge!!
Shouting for joy!!
I have been getting ready for a sprint triathlon at the end of July. Training would be too generous of a term but I have been trying out each activity so I don't die on that day. It is .33 mile swim - 10 laps in the pool. The chlorine bugged my eyes but I know my body can do it. Then it is an 11 mile bike ride. Yesterday I went 10 so despite my now bruised butt, I made it through that. Then it is a 5k or 3.1 mile run /walk. And I have woken up early a few mornings and have done that. Now I have to put it all together. On the same day. One right after the other. Yikes! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law will be doing it, too, so we can cheer each other on! :)
Here is Corbin trying on the bike helmet. He is much cuter in it than me!
