There's no place like HOME: Golden Gate Bridge

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!!"

Golden Gate Bridge

We took our YW and YM on an outing to the Golden Gate Bridge. I brought Miles along. Why do we live so close to these amazing landmarks, but never go to them. I will tell you that I hate going into San Francisco. There are too many (weird) people, too many cars and not enough parking just for starters. Anyway, the Bridge really is amazing and it was clear that morning and could see across the bay. Miles said he was scared of heights and didn't want to walk on it but I made him go. Miles and I ended up cutting our activity short - we had to drive back home because Tim's kidney stones decided to make an appearance that day. The rest of the youth and leaders stayed for a picnic near the beach.

Miles being afraid of walking on the bridge:

Can you tell he was having a great time?

Then, when we started to walk back he was suddenly not afraid anymore. He kept looking over and spitting and watch his spit slowly twirl down towards the water. I guess that is what 9 year old boys like.

This is my favorite picture.

Michelle said...: I feel the same way about living in Utah. There are so many beautiful places in the area, but how often do we get out and enjoy them?!

I bet it was neat to be that high on the bridge, even though it is a little scary.; October 15, 2009 at 9:36 PM
