Got the best news ever today! Stay tuned! :)
Kellan and I were on the couch. He absentmindedly sang, "The snack that smiles back". And I answered "Goldfish". We cracked up. I am so in love with my Cow.
Obviously, I'm constantly observing, checking on and making sure the boys are OK. They are blessed to have the best people in the world around them, but when I can't be right there with them, I want to make sure they're OK. I had a Mom and Cow night, which I'll do every once in a while, to have a heart to heart with Kellan. The boys need their alone time with Mom to be able to freely talk without the other brother interrupting ;). I feel they share more that way as well. Kellan was sharing about school, life and every important thing in his life right now. He happened to mention that sometimes he has to sign a Blurt Book at school. At that point I stopped the conversation, decided we had had enough Mom and Cow time and called it a night. I don't want to know...
Kellan's giving each kid in his class 10 chances. If they make him mad, he's not inviting them to his birthday party.
Quote from Kellan: It's not about getting green lights at school, it's about true love and Jesus.
According to Kellan, two girls chase him because he's the 2nd cutest kid in First Grade.
Why are Oscar's whiskers curled like evil Christmas Ribbons?...

October 8th, 2017
Kellan went to the bathroom - #2. I noticed he had been in the bathroom for quite some time. I yelled, "Kellan? You OK in there?". He replied, "Yep! Just relaxing in here"...
Grammy was making Granfy and me cut potatoes. Granfy totally sliced his finger (I'm assuming because he was trying to get out of helping). After things settled down, Kellan matter of factly told Granfy, "Good thing you didn't cut your finger all the way off! That would have taken way too long to grow it back"...
I have the world's sweetest boys. I was beating myself up because we stopped at the store, but I forgot to pick up toilet paper, and we were completely out. Once we got home, the boys were panicking. I made a joke about it and we were cracking up. It became a hilarious joke that The Tilley household did not have anything in which to wipe our booties. I was so happy they were laughing about it instead of worrying now. I came around the corner and stopped suddenly when I heard Camden whispering to Kellan. I heard Big Bro Camden say to Kellan, "Hey Kellan? Let's not poop, just for tonight - for Mom". My heart just melted. My boys care so much about me and are so thoughtful. I ran out there and hugged them both and said we would figure something out if they needed to poop. Kellan immediately got a red poop face on and took a huge dump. All's back to normal at The Tilleys.

Oh I so love my boys. I am blessed beyond belief!
Kellan: Mary is our mother and God is our Father. Man! They sure have a LOT of children!
I was telling Camden that I promised to work on our kitten adoption paperwork as soon as I got to work. I told him I'll do that before I do any work at all, just don't tell my boss ;). Camden asked who my boss is, and I replied, "Miss Amy". Science boy Kellan piped up and said, "Oh like anus?". And the best part is he's not being rude at all. He knows all the scientific names of the body parts...
Camden and Kellan were bickering back and forth. Little sensitive Kellan got super upset, and this only egged Camden on more. When I couldn't take it anymore I told Kellan to say something back to Camden. Camden piped up and said, "Dear Kellan. I like your back". Sigh...
Me: (Maybe a little agitated). KELLAN! I've asked you several times to clean up your mess and now Camden has cleaned up everything for you!
Kellan: Without skipping a beat bowed dramatically and said, "Why thank you, Prince. PEACE BE WITH YOU!"...
We have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Why is it when I sit down to poop, they're both in the bathroom with me with the door closed... Sigh..

My baby boy lost his first tooth today! (Ok, he's 7 1/2, but he's still my baby boy!). He's so proud and so am I!

I need to thank God for the new job opportunity I've been blessed with. I've been here one month and have been promoted twice! My confidence is back to where it was when I was Carrie! :)
I was talking to my boys about life, and up came some issues that I'm frustrated with. Of course, my boys weren't involved in or aware of the thick of things, but I am so encouraged by my sons. Kellan said, "Mom, 'Bremember' Patience is a 'Virtience'...." I love my boys!!!
The boys always need someone to go to the bathroom with them. So cute! I remember needing my brothers to come with me in the house when I was scared, or just needed company. I can't imagine someone arguing with the fact that little kids need someone with them- but just want to make sure this doesn't backfire on me. Anywhooo... Instead of just asking Camden to come to the bathroom with him, Kellan yelled, "Camden? Can anyone come with me to empty my bladder and my bowels?!!" So proud of my smart Cow!
My boys are so sweet. We were having a family discussion, and Kellan exclaimed, "We are the Tilley family, and nothing can stop the Tilleys!" I agree, Cow! You, me and Camden are unstoppable!
The boys really really wanted to bring Torrey to Grammy and Granfy's. I let them know that Grammy probably wouldn't like that because Torrey sheds a lot. Mr. Smarty Pants Kellan informed me that, 'Torrey doesn't shed, she's molting!"...
My favorite are the boys conversations in the car. For some reason if I'm not included in the conversation, they assume I can't hear them. Kellan was talking and talking (what else is new), and Camden said, "Kellan, you're weird!". Kellan immediately without hesitation replied, "I know!"...

Camden came up to me last night and said, out of the blue, "Thank you so much for always putting a note in my school snack, Mom". This was the sweetest thing ever. I have no idea what prompted him to say it, but it sure was nice.
The whole way to school this morning the boys were laughing so hard I had to look back there to make sure they were still breathing. Camden started it by asking me how he pronounced certain words when he was younger. I said the words in a cute silly baby voice and the next thing I knew I had two hysterically laughing and snorting little Tilley boys in the back seat...
At Mass on Sunday, Grammy went to check to see if the boys and I could bring up the gifts. Kellan looked at me so so excited and said, "Oh Boy! We get to bring up the treats!"
I made the mistake of reminding Camden on Mother's Day that he's the one that made me a mother. The mistake was telling him in general and also telling him in front of Kellan. Camden was so darn proud of this accomplishment. Kellan wasn't necessarily upset, but definitely didn't want to be outdone. Finally, after much thought, he exclaimed, "Camden may have made you a mother, but I made you a double mother!" Yes you did Cow! I love my boys so much!
Kellan is just soaking up knowledge about the planets and states and capitals. I am thrilled! He ran full speed into the bathroom as I was getting ready and shouted, "Mom! Mom! (tries to catch breath) Mom! Neptune has 6 rings and I'm 6! We're alike"! I said, "Oh, yes Kellan! How cool is that?" Kellan then went from ecstatic to terrified within a millisecond and corrected, "Well, Neptune's a lot larger so we're not too much alike..." Ok...
Kellan came running in full speed (this sounds familiar) to tell on Camden. I stopped him and said, "Kellan, let's not tattle, ok?" He scowled and drawled in his little Southern accent, "I'm not tattling, I'm just tellin' ya"...
Kellan ran off to play during Camden's football game. Grammy went to check on him and asked him what he was doing. He was standing next to a tree. He told Grammy, "I'm catching leaves and I'm on the 7th level!"...
Camden was the captain of his flag football game. He got to go out there for the coin toss. I am so proud!
A sentence I never thought would come out of my mouth - "Put that stick down if you touched poop with it!"...
Kellan swallowed his gum accidentally and was terrified. I said as long as it was an accident and he's really careful not to do it again, it's ok. He replied with wide cow eyes, "That was my first time and I won't do it again indeed"! Apparently, swallowing gum makes him sound like an English school boy...

Happy Birthday Granfy!
Kellan is so sweet. He was telling me how he worries about me. In particular about me getting run over. I said, "I love you, Kellan and there is no need to worry about me. God is taking care of me". He started crying and said, "But I want to worry about you!".
Kellan has been tooting like crazy today. He giggled and exclaimed, "I'm like Jupiter! I'm a gassy giant!". Glad he's learning and his digestive system is working!
The boys were eating Doritos on the couch. I was sitting next to them and working. Kellan kept handing me little crumbs of Doritos. After about 15 minutes of this I remembered I had put the bag of Doritos away a while ago. I looked at my youngest precious child and asked where he was getting these crumbs. He nonchalantly replied, while watching the iPat, "From my underwear"...
I was playing 'Quick Cups' with the boys. I said, "Pause! I have to go potty". Camden asked, "Poop or pee?" Legitimate question...
The boys were sitting really close to each other. I thought this was so sweet and I asked them if they were best brothers. Camden said, "Yep!" and Kellan replied, "We could be in a clown show". Yes you could, Cow!

April 4th, 2017
The boys have been learning about planets and the solar system. They know way more than I do, but that might not be saying much. I keep magnets that show what states we've been to. Kellan looked at me knowingly and said, "you better make one for the planets too, 'cause we'll probably be going to those soon!". Camden piped in with, "We'll probably go to Mars first because they think it had water on it at one time". Kellan looked at us (a tad condescendingly), and said, "It doesn't matter if it has water! We can always bring a water bottle!" Well played, Cow!
Camden was in the shower and kept calling for me to turn the water hotter. I didn't realize that Kellan was paying attention to this, but when it came his turn to get in, he absolutely freaked out. He seriously behaved as if he thought the water was a million degrees. And all this was before he even felt the water. I finally said, 'Kellan! Please just feel the water and let me know if it's too hot". (It wasn't that hot), He cowered against the corner of the bathroom pathetically and said, "I don't need to feel it! I can hear the burning from here!". Oh sheesh! You're lucky you're a cute big eared kid!
Kellan is an expert on dinosaurs now as well. He was telling me about dinosaurs that are carnivores. (After I googled that I was able to hold a conversation with my 6 year old). Kidding! (Gulp!). Then he said, "We humans are carnivores too because we eat meat like chicken and cows". Then a look of absolute terror spread over his face and he said, "Well we don't eat cows like me though"...
When Kellan was drafting the guest list to his birthday party, he included girls. Camden looked mortified and yelled, "Girls! You want GIRLS to come to your party?!". Kellan replied calmly, "Yes, because they're U-tiful"...
Kellan's ears have been so plugged lately. Poor guy is just now able to hear again. We were on our way to school and at a stoplight so I grabbed my purse. Kellan asked, "What are you getting out of your purse, Mom?". I replied, "Chapstick". Kellan looked confused and said, "A hammer?!". I laughed and said, "You need your ears cleaned out, boy!". From the backseat, "What?!"...
This morning, the boys crawled into bed with me as we were waking up. I was loving the stinky snuggles. Then Camden popped up and said he had to go to the bathroom. He ran and flipped the bathroom light on with great flourish. I quickly turned as my eyes burned from the light adjustment. Sweet Kellan thoughtfully put his hand over my eyes to shield his amazing Mother from this torture. The only problem with this was - the more I praised Kellan on being so thoughtful and caring about me, the more he mashed my eyeballs into my skull. I don't know which hurt worse - the light or the pressure of your eyeballs popping. I couldn't say anything though, because that was a really sweet (and powerful) gesture...
I won't go into why Kellan didn't get a Paw Print the other day because, according to him (using my words), 'we've talked about this and now we're just going to move forward'. But when I did try to get an answer out of him, he dramatically quivered his lower lip and pathetically sighed saying, "I don't know, Mom! My brain was on vacation!"...
Camden is a little monkey stinker. I went out on the patio and turned around to come back into my home. There stood a widely grinning, skinny 7 year old that realized he knows how to lock the patio door. Luckily he still respects his Mom enough to let her in after 5 minutes... Grrrr...
The boys were settling down for bed, and I got a little emotional. They were right next to each other on the couch just being best brothers. I looked at them and said, "You boys are so lucky to have each other!". At the same exact time they replied, "Yes we are". I about melted until they started fighting over who jinxed who by saying the same thing at the same time...

February 28th, 2017
Guess what tomorrow is?! My... I mean Kellan's birthday month! Yay!
The boys were talking about bee dee bee dee's and that I'm a girl because I don't have one. Kellan innocently asked, what do you have then? I thought quickly on my feet, and decided the right thing to do would be to tell him the actual word. I said, I have a vagina. Kellan just thought this was so confusing. He said, "I don't have a vagina because I'm not from China"! Oh now you can rhyme Cow. Well played...
I don't even want to know, but I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Kellan sticking a straw wrapper in his ear. I quickly yelled, "Kellan! Don't stick things in your ears!" He replied, "you started it". Huh?
Kellan has just been so sweet, loving and extra thoughtful lately. The boys know to make their beds and brush their teeth every morning without me having to ask. Kellan came full speed and full dimples rushing in to the bathroom this morning as I was getting ready. He told me he had to tell me a secret, and proceeded to grab my cheeks to pull me to his mouth. He actually whispered, and said, "Mom! Don't tell Camden, but I made his bed too!" I was just so full of love for this kind thoughtful kid, and to be honest, a little taken a back that he actually whispered this secret. A little later, I asked the boys if they had brushed their teeth. Kellan said "yes", and Camden said "no", as he quickly ran to brush. Kellan looked at me knowingly and said, "well I can't do that part for him"!
Camden is so into football. Oh thank God because this is so much fun! I do have to turn so he doesn't see me laugh every time he pronounces Adrian Peterson - "Aderson Peterson"...
And now that Kellan's getting in to football I also have to turn around when he talks about "ANTTTTonio Brown"...
Camden and Kellan were with Grammy while I was working. I got a text that said, "Could the child get one small toy". As I was pondering this message, another text came in - "What did she say?" Little Kellan making it hard to say no to new toys...
Kellan was pretend sleeping and snoring. Camden did not know what to make of this. He said, "I think he's dreaming about a pig!"
I was checking to make sure Camden was buckled as we headed out to school and work. For some reason Camden was all monkey ears grinning at me. I finally asked him what he was doing. He replied, "lose the ponytail, girl". Needless to say a 7 year old made me very self conscious about my hair all day...
On Saturday, I felt like I had 253 kids. The boys were everywhere and pushing Mom's buttons. I threw my hands up and said, "I give up, boys!" Camden looked at me with a very mischievous yet adorable grin and said, "every time you turn around, there's something new!"... Little stinkers!

February 1st, 2017
Camden was awarded the Kindness and Art award at school yesterday! Don't know where he got those traits from, but major props to God!
Camden has been in absolute rare form lately. I looked at him and said, "I'm going to tell Dad no iPads this weekend!". He batted his loooong eyelashes at me and said, "But I'm a yes yes man!"...
Kellan came flying into the bathroom this morning while I was getting ready, and said, "I jumped up and down the stairs, Mom, but don't worry - I protected my ding-a-ling". I don't even know...
I told Kellan it was free dress day today at school if he brought in a dollar to donate to our Veteran's. He looked at me terrified and said, "I have to wear a dress?!"...
I asked Camden and Kellan to get in the shower last night. A task they've been completing (including baths) oh for about 5 and 7 years now. Kellan put his little hands in front of his mouth and asked me, frightfully, if the "shower was wet"...
Out of the blue (how most things come up during our ride to school), Camden announced, "I'm going to tell my kids to poop their pants". Kellan piped up and said, "I'm going to clean their diapers". Then a pause before I could commend Kellan - he added "Actually, my girl will clean their diapers". Oh I can not wait to show his future wife this...
Our school principal, Dr. Pristash, is amazing. She knows each kid by name and they all run to hug her when they get to school. On Friday, Dr. Pristash picked Kellan up, gave him a huge hug, and said, "you're the reason I come to school every day". Kellan replied, "Well, you weren't here yesterday!". Dr. Pristash was out on Jury Duty. This kid doesn't listen to a word I say when I ask him to do something, but he's observant enough to know when the principal is there or not...
Kellan just asked me if I would marry him. My heart filled with the most happiness I've felt in a long time. Then he said, "Well, we'll have to wait until I'm an adult though". Then it got a little awkward...
I told Kellan I would give anything to see the world through his eyes. He used his hands and opened his eyes as wide as can be. Then he said, "Here ya go, Mom!"...
Aunt Pammy, Camden, Kellan and I went to Texas Road House. Kellan looked kind of serious, so I asked what he was doing. He replied, "Oh, I'm just sitting here cracking my nuts". I could not stop laughing and get it under control. I forgot that he was just thrilled that he was allowed to throw the peanut shells on the ground.

Happy No Ears! (As Kellan would say) :)
I know God will bless us so much this year!
Ok, these are my boys and I am working on this;
Kellan: Carrie, my ear is plugged
Camden: Carrie, my booty is plugged...
Camden started flag football!!! The first practice was amazing. I think I had more fun with the team moms than Camden did playing! So excited to get to know the parents. He's on the Saint's team! Thank goodness it wasn't the Lions or he'd be looking for a new team...
Kellan announced that Torrey is an Oakland Raiders fan. Um... ok?
During practice, I was trying to explain to Kellan some of the rules of football. I asked him how much a Safety was worth. He said $50. Sigh...
I guess Kellan's teacher sings the "Baby won't you drive my car" song. Kellan has been singing this for weeks. Then he looked at me like a light bulb went off and asked, "Mom? How do babies drive cars"?...
We got a huge thing of Cheetos like cheese balls from the store. Kellan was SO excited. Camden was looking through all the toys he got for Christmas and asking Kellan what he wanted to play. Kellan jumped up and yelled, "Let's play Cheese balls!"...
I was in line at McDonald's and it was taking forever. And by forever, I mean about 4 minutes. Camden from the backseat, sighed and said, "Ugh! I thought this was fast food!"
On Christmas, we were having the best time. Kellan tugged on my shirt. I bent down and he whispered in my ear, "How come no one else knows it's Jesus's birthday but me?" And he grinned his little Kellan Hix Tilley grin.
We were at WalMart in the produce aisle (on purpose too!) and there was a tomato slice on the floor that Kellan slipped on. He didn't fall, but proceeded to announce to everyone in the aisle that he "skipped on a tomato at WalMart"...
The boys take showers now, but I just can't bring myself to give up giving my baby boys a bath. They can't be old enough to take showers! Only a mother would know this feeling. So I looked them both in their brown brown and blue blue eyes, and said, "Ok, you can take a shower but I'm smelling your booty butts when you get out to make sure you're squeaky clean.". They giggled and giggled, but sure got clean!
