they fit!!!

Cohen has been waiting a while for some shoes he got from grandma and grandpa to fit so we often try them on and say "no, not yet but they will fit soon..."

 Well today...THEY FIT! Cohen was so excited to wear them.

 I am sure I will see this face many times in my life, please mom not another picture.

 he is learning the faces with a lot of emotions so it is funny, his sad face

 happy face

 silly face

 smiley face

and cheesy face!

Red Sox

Cohen looked so cute in his little Sox hat I decided I needed to take a few photos

 here he is helping me make smoothies, one of his favorite weekend activities

fun in the out of doors

Cohen continues to work on his bike riding skills and has come a long way already in a week

 we went for a walk to the town center, Cohen loves the middle path

 then to the park by our house, he can check out the prarie dogs from up here

 and finally the playground...his favorite

rolling rolling rolling, he was covered in grass by the end

more soccer

Cohen plays soccer on the weekends at our local indoor place, it is pretty funny to watch as they try to keep all little ones involved.

Haircut time

Cohen finally went for a much needed haircut

 he did a great job, such a big boy!

 BEFORE

 AFTER

no more shaggy hair, we like it a little longer but it was best to get a good cut and let it grow back out a bit

Potty Time

Every once in a while Cohen has to quickly hop out of the tub during bath time to go potty...here is one of those times. He will love this one when he is older, I will now file it away in my "to embarass Cohen when older" file.

Bringing the bike back out

Cohen started to learn to ride a strider bike last year but was still pretty small, so we were excited to pull it out this year and see what he could do.

He is really starting to get the idea of pushing along, now he needs to work on coasting and then he is that much closer to a real bike!

New Orleans Half Marathon

Jill took most of our pics for the weekend but I can't get them to download to my computer so you will have to see the weekend through my few photos. Jill and I had two free Rock 'N Roll half marathon entries so we decided to pick some fun races to meet up for this year. We picked New Orleans and Providence. This was the first...

 we flew in early Friday which was great because we were able to relax, grab a few electric $.25 martinis and get some yummy food

 we then hit up the marathon expo

 then ate some more food

 and hit up CVS for some band aids...but were quite impressed with the liquor selection in the CVS right off of Bourbon Street

 We couldn't miss a walk through Bourbon Street so Jill grabbed a beer and we wandered checking it all out, quite entertaining I must say!

 we kicked off Saturday with some beignets from Cafe du Monde

 mmmmm

 then after some walking we stopped off at our next food option

 shrimp po-boys at Johnny's

 Now the picture we are truly missing here is our dinner...Jill and I decided we should take it easy since we'd been on our feet pretty much since we landed so we lounged in the hotel room, watched a movie, and ordered some food...well a LOT of food...it was WONDERFUL.

 So come race day the two of us easily had 3 days worth of heavy NOLA food in us, but why not?! Here is the pic I sent to Cohen before the race.

 here we are after the race, notice our choice of beverages

 a post race afternoon out before our flight, we rode the trolley

 hit up Bourbon Street for a beverage, then Cafe du Monde again

then finished it off with a muffaletta in the sun (which can also be dangerous as Jill learned getting pooped on by a bird!)

We had a wonderful girl's weekend away, it was a great race (even if I ran a total of probably 13 miles training for it) and a fun city to hang out in. See you in Providence JILLY!

New phone, new photos

I lost/had my phone stolen at Home Depot so had to replace it. The worst part was all of the pics and contacts I had on the phone were no longer so I had to start over. These were the first two pics with the new phone.
