Direct quote from Kellan to Uncle Nathan:
"I'm not just in to tornadoes, Uncle Nathan. I'm in to natural disasters in general"...
The boys and I were finishing up with dinner. Kellan and I were done, but Camden had a ways to go. Kellan started to get up from the table to, I can only imagine, go grab his iPad. Camden whined and asked Kellan to wait with him. More specifically, Camden asked Kellan to wait with him "at the table of plenty"...
The boys were being a tad shall we say, rambunctious. I told them to calm down in my best calm mom voice. Kellan giggled and said, "We can't calm down, Mom! We're George and Harold"! Ok...
The boys and I were playing Monopoly. Oscar wanted to play as well and used a miniature status of St. Joseph as his character...
This was a true test of my Mom-ness. I splurged and bought myself a pack of beef jerky for $6.99. It was delicious, or should I say what I got to try was delicious. Little Camden kept sneaking his hand in the bag and eating the jerky by the fistful. I tearfully handed him the bag and watched him devour the entire thing. Oh how we mothers have to suffer for our young!
The boys were playing a pretty competitive game on the computer. It was Camden's turn and he nervously said to Kellan, "Wish me luck!". Kellan barely looked up and said, 'I already wished you all the luck I had"...
The boys were giving me a history lesson on no doubt some natural disaster that had taken place long ago in the 'pillow peens'. I for the life of me could not figure out what the 'pillow peens' were. After questioning the boys so many times they were totally annoyed with me, Kellan shouted, "Mom! The PILLOW PEENS!". That's when I realized this kid meant Philippines...
We got to babysit little Max while Uncle Neil and Aunt Vanessa went on their honeymoon. Max sat on my lap because he loves his favorite Aunt. Camden came over, crawled on my lap and said to Max, "That's my lap and that will always be my lap so skeedaddle". My heart melted. My Monkey loves me!
We were up early, go figure, so we watched the Royal Wedding. Ever since then, Camden has been calling my his loyal subject...
Kellan pointed out that the Queen of England and USA are frenemies. What?...
Kellan woke up in the middle of the night to go potty. I guided his skinny sleepy shoulders to the bathroom and said, "I love you baby boy". He replied sleepily, "Yes, but tornadoes are very rare in Arizona"...

March 20th, 2018
The boys were talking in the car and Camden was getting upset because Kellan likes the color green more than red. Exasperatedly Camden yelled, "But Kellan! You liked red better in preschool!". Kellan knowingly replied, "But that's around the time green became more famous"...
I can't remember exactly what we were talking about, but Kellan blurted out, "But Mom! This IS the best lifetime!". Words to live by...
The boys were brushing their teeth getting ready for bed. I came in to read books and say goodnight, and realized Kellan had every single one of the pillows off my bed in his bed. He wanted me to fall asleep in there with him and apparently wasn't going to take no for an answer. What a sweet cow!
Kellan wanted to play with Camden, but Camden was busy going #2 on the pot. Kellan impatiently kept running in to check if Camden was done. He ran in again and asked Camden, "Are you on your first or second layer of poo?". I didn't even question...

February 22nd, 2018
Last month in my 30's EEK!
So we have a hilarious cat, Oscar. It brings me so much joy at how hard the boys and I belly laugh when Oscar 'talks'. They totally get his personality and it gives them the chance to say words like 'hate' and 'dummy' - as long as it's in Oscar's voice and Oscar's 'saying' it.
The boys want to build Oscar a school so he can learn while they're at school. In the car on the way to school they were trying to think of a name for his school. Oscar came up with Annunciation 'cat' lic school. Ahahahahahahahahaha!
The boys talking for Oscar has made me realize I may be a little overprotective of them. Kellan was going number one and Oscar peeked his head into the toilet bowl. Kellan laughed and said Oscar was checking to make sure his pee was clear and he was hydrated. I may be a little overboard as I think Oscar got that from me...
I promise this whole segment won't be about Oscar, but gosh do I love this cat!
Kellan was running around the house with Oscar's carrier on his head. He was going full speed and twisting and turning. He grabbed his glass of milk off the counter and spilled - of course. Before my face could even turn into mad Mom face, Kellan lifted the carrier off his head so I could see his baby blue eyes and with a grin said, "Wow! I did not see that coming!". Really Cow? You didn't see any of that coming?...
Oh my gosh I don't think the boys have ANY teeth left! They are losing them left and right! My cute little Cow is missing both of his bottom front teeth right now. When the 2nd tooth came out he sounded like he was lisping a bit. I laughed and asked Kellan if it was hard to talk with no teeth. He looked at me matter of factly and said, "No Mom. Those two aren't any of my talking teeths". Alrighty then...
Camden's allergies have been really bothering him lately, and he was so stuffed up and miserable this week before school, I wasn't sure if it was allergies or if he was getting sick. I grabbed my precious brown eyed boys rubber cheeks and said it was ok to stay home from school today if he felt bad and needed to rest. That little overachiever looked at me through his unrealistically long eyelashes and said, "That's ok, Mom. I'll try school. I want to get a perfect attendance like Uncle Nathan and Uncle Neil!"...
Uncle Neil Aunt Vanessa and I took the boys bowling the other day. So much fun! Guess who was even more competitive than I was? Mr. Cam Jams of course. And he did really well!
Watching Kellan for a while, I couldn't figure out why he would roll the ball and then run back to the table as fast as his little white stick legs could carry him. I was laughing at this, but still puzzled. Then got even more puzzled when he would run back, not even look at how many pins he had knocked down, and get frustrated. Finally, when he had knocked down quite a few pins but was mad I asked him what was going on. Turns out he could care less about his bowling score. He was more concerned with the "bowling commercials'. I could not for the life of me figure out what he meant. Then he showed me. The screen above us would show a funny animated bowling ball and pins if someone got a gutter ball, spare, or good shot. That would be my Cow... More concerned with what's on screen than going on at the real life bowling alley... ;)
Ok, have to end on an Oscar-ism. So, don't ask me how we know this, but Oscar's favorite singer is Demi Lovato. He particularly is a huge fan of her song. "Sorry. Not Sorry". The boys and I are making this a huge long hypothetical story and cracking ourselves up. Camden thought a minute, and decided that Oscar is a little confused, and thinks Demi Lovato's name is actually 'Dummy Avocado"...

Saturday January 13th, 2018
Camden was telling me how school was. He started laughing and said, "Well Mom, I went to go to the bathroom to poop, and someone was already in the stall. Guess who?" Before I had a chance to even see the route this was taking, Kellan ran in the room and giggled, "Me! And I was pooping!"
So Oscar our cat can talk, obviously. Kellan loves speaking for Oscar, but this time Camden was really getting into it and making fun of his brother - in Oscar's voice. Camden said, "Wow Kellan! You just got wrecked by a cat." Kellan looked at me to see if he should laugh or cry. Little did he know I was looking at him for the same reason...
It was a little cold in the house so I asked Kellan if he wanted some socks to put on. Barely looking up from the iPat, he responded, "No thanks! I don't want any calories". What?
100% Camden got the ball in the end zone today in his flag football game and ran it back - the entire field! - to score a touchdown!!! I am so SO proud of this hardworking kid!
Last night when I picked the boys up from Grammy and Granfy's, Camden rushed me out the door so he could get home to bed to get enough rest for his game today. I checked on him in the middle of the night and gave him a huge kissie ('cause the only time that stink will let me kiss him is if he's sound asleep). All of the sudden, Camden popped up, stuck his arm in the air and yelled "HIKE!" I freaked out then cracked up. He was definitely dreaming football.
What did I awake to at 4:45 this morning? Camden coming to wake me up already completed dressed in his football uniform. 100%.Love.This!
This exchange completely describes my wonderful happy children;
Camden: I get to go first!!!
Kellan: I get to go second!!!
