There's no place like HOME: Avery

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!!"

Avery

This little girl will be 3 at the end of this month. She is our biggest sweetheart; coming up and giving Tim and I hugs & kisses without being asked. It melts your heart.

She is also very shy and does not like any attention pointed to her.

Here is an example:

Last week we went to Utah to visit with family for the week. We went to Liberty Park with Grandma Redding and our cousins on Wednesday. We were riding the rides (which have been there since I was a young girl). Avery got her turn on the little cars. She was happy at first and enjoying herself.

Then we all started waving and cheering for Avery as her little car passed us.

Then her expression turned to this:

She was so embarrassed! Her expression turned from smiles to a frown and wouldn't look and anybody, just the ground. Poor little girl. Saddest face ever!

And then she has a big sister who LOVES the attention:

We have two little girls who are opposite in every way!

But we love them both the same.
