Funny and cute things the kids say ...

Tim had 2 tickets for the Warriors game Friday night. So one boy got to go to the game with him while the other would get to go to Lincoln Lopez's house to play. We let the boys choose. First they both wanted to go to Lincoln's house! Then they decided that Miles would go to the game with Tim and Caden would go to Lincoln's. Caden said the prayer that night. He said "Thank you dad can go to work, thank you that Miles can go to school, and thank you that I can go to Lincoln's house." We were all busting up laughing during the prayer.

Miles was at a high school football game with Tim. One of the players had tattoos on both of his arms. Miles thought that was cool (oh great!) and told Tim that he wanted a tattoo. Tim asked him what kind of tattoo he would want and Miles replied with "SpongeBob."

Miles: "Caden Doll is my arch enemy!"

Tonight for dinner I made turkey broccoli casserole with rice. The boys always say that I make gross dinners, but tonight Miles added that "This dinner is worse than school lunch."

Tim took the boys to another football game friday night. This time it was the Concord Minutemen vs. the Dublin Gaels. So this time, Caden thought the "Minimen" were playing against the "Girls."

Last Friday, Tim took the boys to the high school football game that he was covering for the newspaper. The teams playing were the Northgate Broncos vs. the Concord Minutemen. They got to stand on the sidelines and watch the game. Caden thought it was really cool. The next day I was asking Caden about the game. I asked him if he remembered what teams played. He said, "the Boncos and the Minimen!"

Caden is learning to count. He can count to 29 with a little help (but he somehow manages to skip 16 everytime). He gets to 29 and says twenty-ten, For 30. And does the same for the rest of the numbers.
Thirty-Ten = 40
Fourty-Ten = 50
Fifty-Ten = 60
and so on.

Tim and I went out with some friends on their boats. The boys went to the babysitter's house. After we picked them up we were telling them about how Tim got flipped around on all the different tubes. Miles said "So dad, there was 2 people on the tube ... you and your KIDNEY STONE!!"

Baby and Baseball, Oh My!

Our lives are not only busy with having Alexandra. We are also busy with baseball with Miles and Caden. The baseball season started back in February with practices and uniform pick-up. Now we are at the fields with both boys each having 2 games a week. Miles turned 7 this year and had to move up to the next age group. He is on the Valley Pirates. Miles hit a HOME RUN at the first game of the year. This is Caden's first year playing ball. He is on the Pee Wee Angels. Tim is the Manager for Caden's team and pitches to all the boys on the team. And I am the team mom, to add to the baseball fun. On Friday night, I was in the dugout holding Alexandra with one hand and feeding Caden a corn dog with the other hand. One of the parents came up to me and said that I can do it all!! So until baseball season is over in June, Alexandra's first months of life and the rest of us will be living at the baseball fields.

Our Sweet Baby Girl!

Alexandra will be 3 weeks tomorrow. The time has gone by fast. She seems so much bigger already. She has gained her birth weight back. But she is still waking up 2 to 3 times a night. It looks like she is going to have blue eyes and some curly hair.
