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!!"

Cause and Effect

Because Tim did this last Summer in Yosemite:
(Jump into a freezing cold river)

The girls and I got to see this on Saturday:
(At the Pixar studios)

More to come....

P.I.X.A.R. & {Toy Story 3}

So the girls and I got to go to PIXAR studios and see Toy Story 3! We went with Trent Crow and his family (Trent works at Pixar in the shading department. When Tim jumped in the river everyone had to give him something. Trent promised him tickets to see Toy Story 3.) We were all supposed to go but things came up at the last minute. Tim and Caden went to a baseball tournament, and Miles went on a scout hike. So just me and the girls went.
We got to see the movie in 3-D. All I am going to say is that the movie is really good. I may have even shed a tear or 2 at the end. After the movie was over we got to walk around Pixar and see artwork from the movie (we were not allowed to take pictures.)

We also got to see the life size Ken Doll house.

We saw Buzz & Woody made out of legos:

And we got to see some of our favorite Pixar Characters.
Zani's favorite were the "Incredibles"!

It was a fun morning and definitely something you don't get to do on a regular basis.

Lady Antebellum & Tim McGraw Concert

Last night we went to the Lady A. and Tim McGraw Concert at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Teri LOVES Tim McGraw.(that might be an understatement!!)

Tim bought tickets through the Lady A. Fan Club. We didn't know where our seats were until he picked up the tickets at Will Call. We were this far from the stage: (Row B!)
