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!!"

I have the best friends in the world!

I just need to say that I have some of the best friends in the world. Yesterday April and Naomi and Linda planned and gave me the best baby shower. From the invitations to the food to the games to EVERYONE who came - I felt truly blessed and loved. My friends are the greatest and I don't know if I could make it with out you some days. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who filled up my house with so many PINK clothes and other much needed baby supplies.

Kids say the most funniest and most innocent things

My mom is always saying you need to write down all the funny things that the boys say or you will forget them. So here is the most recent one from Miles.

We had toilet trouble last week and Tim had to run to Home Depot for a new part. While he was out he went over to Taco Bell for a late snack. He brought me home a Carmel Apple Empanada. He didn't bring the boys home anything since it was almost bedtime. Yet the boys wanted something to eat since it was from Taco Bell. They wanted to know what my treat was. We told them it was an empanada but I was unwilling to share because I am the mom and pregnant.

A few days later we were all in the car and Miles asks Tim "What was that special treat you gave mom in bed the other night?" Tim and I looked at each other and tried not to laugh -- but we were also trying to figure out what in the world he was talking about. After a few minutes we figured out he was asking about the empanada -- and nothing else (thank goodness!)
