Caleb doesn't like to wear hats too much or sunglasses but for some reason these blue swim goggles rubbed him the right way. He wore them for while and wanted to do everything while wearing them. He finally took them off, I think, because his little eyeballs were sweating underneath them.

I heard the 80's were back as far as decorating and fashion but tonight it was literal. We went to the Neville's house for their annual summer bash and had such a good time. Caleb did a little rock climbing and dancing, (the Flock of Seaguls guy really seemed to play all the right stuff for Caleb, because he really "felt it").

Cory took the day off! We had breakfast at Mimi's with his Parents and the Moreno's and Aunt Patti (Connie's sister who was visiting from Utah). It was delicious. We ate like kings. Afterward we went to Grandma and Papa's house to enjoy the pool. After showers and naps we met up with Aunt Wendy (Jerry's sister) and had dinner with all the fam at Macaroni Grill. I don't know about you but I can't remember the last time I ate out 2 times in one day. We were surely spoiled. Cory and I were still so excited about Wicked we talked about it as much as possible even if it was just to our selves.
I forgot to bring a spoon so Cory improvised with a knife. It was a little scary but Caleb seemed happy to be eating.
Cory is so good with "two." He loves being a Dad and an Uncle to Patrick. By the way Patrick is a silly kid. He put a napkin on his head and left it there. I don't know what he was thinking but it sure made everyone laugh.

Today is our 6th wedding anniversary! To celebrate we went to the Pantages theater to watch Wicked. Before we left we went to Costco to get gas, check the tire pressure and also eat pizza. It was great. Wicked was amazing. Cory absolutely loved it. And I thought it was even better the 2nd time. I hope we do go back. The drive down to LA was my favorite part. I loved being alone with Cory, just talking and laughing. It feels like such a sacred thing to have a few moments, let alone 2 hours to just be by ourselves.

This weekend we went down to Ventura to spend the weekend with my parents for a much needed vacation. Saturday morning Nono took Cory and Caleb to the beach at low tide to look for shells and to check out the tide pools. Noni (Caleb calls her NiNi - sounds like "Knee knee") Hillari and I went to the Farmer's Market to buy strawberries and other such delicious goodies. HIllari bought some jalapeno/cheese bread, fresh honey and flowers, Noni bought 3 tamales, kettle corn, strawberries and lavender, I bought 3 baskets of strawberries to put on top of a lemon cheesecake we were going to have on Sunday. The rest of Saturday was really casual. Cory, Caleb and I went for a walk and soaked up the cool weather and sunshine. On Sunday morning mom made scones, scrambled eggs and cut up some fruit. I thought the colors of breakfast looked striking next to the deep purple of the lavender so I just had to get a pic. After church we met for a BBQ lunch back at the condo, cleaned up the place and headed back to reality. It was a short trip but sweet.

Cory met us at the park after work today, just to mix things up a bit. Caleb was very excited to play with his Daddy. We spent most of our time at the park looking at the water fountain. Caleb quickly pointed out the "night-night" bird floating face down in the water. He was very concerned. Daddy did his best to distract him, even pretended to thrown Caleb in a few times but somehow Caleb found the bird and reminded us that it is "night-night."

This afternoon Caleb REALLY wanted to play Daddy's guitar, so I said, "ok, but only with Mommy in the room." I just wanted to make sure he didn't get popped in the face with a string. Not only were all the strings left in tact Caleb had a great time strumming the guitar and singing. His big number was "E.I.E.I.O."
