There's no place like HOME: My baby brother got married!!

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!!"

My baby brother got married!!

The main reason we went to Utah this summer was because Parker & Ali got married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 1st. (Of course we played and visited with family while we were there -- that's anonter post) We are so happy for Parker! And Ali is a sweetheart and is already like a sister because we have known her for years. (She waited for Parker while he was on his mission.) The sealing was beautiful and one of the best I have ever been to. Their reception was at Thanksgiving Point. It was nice area. The best part was we didn't have to do any set-up or clean-up. The kids enjoyed being able to run around outside during the reception. One of the best part's was that we didn't have to take a lot of "family pictures" with the bride and groom that day with the photographer. (I think that is what Tim enjoyed the most, along with not having to wear a tux in the 100 degree heat). It turned out to be a very beautiful and relaxing day.

Here is my dad with Miles and Caden waiting for Parker & Ali to come out of the temple ... I love thier faces ... Classic!
