There's no place like HOME: Miles' Baptism

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!!"

Miles' Baptism

Saturday, February 2nd was a special day for our family. First off it was the day of President Hinckley's Funeral. Second Miles was baptized. The whole program turned out perfect and the spirit was felt very strongly. Grandma Redding gave the opening prayer and Grandma Doll spoke about Baptism. (With only a few tears shed.) Then Miles was baptized by his dad. Grandpa Doll and Grandpa Redding were the witnesses. All went good. (No re-dos unlike the little girl who was baptized right after Miles.) After they got dressed, Miles was confirmed a received the Holy Ghost. I am so proud of Tim for doing such a great job and being able to hold the priesthood and being a good dad. I am proud of Miles for being a good kid and wanting to be baptized. Those who helped with the confirmation were: Grandpa Doll, Grandpa Redding, Uncle Mark Doll, Bishop Score, Travis Burr, Chris Rossi & Jerry Keiser. We want to thank all of our friends and family who came to support Miles on his special day.

New Suit. Doesn't he look so grown up and handsome?!

(That is why my parents drove with us back to Concord from Disneyland so that they could attend the baptism.) My dad said that the baptism was the best thing that happened all week.
