There's no place like HOME: Miles' All-Star team

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' All-Star team

(I have done this post twice and blogger is not saving it, so I am trying it one more time...)

I should start by saying this year was extra busy with baseball. We signed up the boys for 2 different leagues. Caden at JOBL and Miles at Concord American; because all of his friends play in that league. So we were at 2 different fields this year plus extra volunteer times. Tim even home-plate umpired 2 times. With that being said..

Miles was chosen to be on the 10-year-old All-Star team this year. He was very excited. He finally got to be on a team with all his friends. (including Conner, Lucas, James and Cody!)

This was at the first All-Star game. This is my favorite picture. Lucas and Miles pounding arms. They are so cool...
The Concord American 10 year old All-Star team all lined up!
At the plate:
Miles played in the outfield for all the games. He caught a fly ball in left field during the 4th game!

His team lost the first game but ended up winning the next 3 games in a row. The 4th game was the most exciting. They were home team and they kept battling. Every time they were down they kept scoring and tying the game. After 6 innings the game was tied 10-10 and too dark to play anymore innings. So we had to continue the game out in Oakley on Wednesday afternoon. They would play until there was a winner. Martinez scored in the top of the 7th so we had to score 1 to tie and 2 to win. We had the bases loaded and Josh hit a blooper over the second baseman's head for the win. It was very exciting. Then the boys had to wait for an hour to play the next game. Unfortunately they got blown out. It was time to pack up their gear and say good-bye to their baseball season. The coaches said that they did better than anyone expected them too and went farther in the tournament than a 10-year-old team has gone in YEARS. (They finished 8th!) It was fun to watch.

Some of his cheerleaders!! The girls went to all the games. They did pretty good considering how long we were there some nights. (and eating french fries helped.)
