Uncle Josh Was TOTALLY Saltin' His Game!

Third post... third night... I'm making progress... I think I only have 3 more to go after this one... or maybe it's 4... I can't keep up!

On Saturday, while the girls were at the Kaki Party (see previous post if you missed it), Caden had a special date with a very pretty girl...

One of my dearest friends from Baylor, who I have known since HIGH SCHOOL was SWEET enough to drive down from Waco to celebrate Kaki with us. Her hubby, also a good friend of Justin's had a work commitment and couldn't play Daddy-on-call so Emily had to bring her sweet Fallin along with her...which I was selfishly SO excited about! I hadn't seen Fallin since she was an itty bitty!! So... Emily and I decided to see if Fallin would be okay hanging with all of the boys so she could come to the party solo... and of course... Fallin is NO FOOL. She saw three handsome boys... Justin, Uncle Josh and Caden and decided that she would be JUST FINE with some dude time, in fact I don't even think she noticed that her Mommy left! Good girl!

Caden was very excited that "Tallin" stayed and played...

I mean look at those two... are there any words for their cuteness?! Fallin looks exactly like her PRETTY Mommy... spitting image... it is absolutely unreal! I love seeing the resemblance and it makes me super anxious to see what Kaki-pants looks like...

So from the looks of things... the date went pretty well...

(PS: I have NO idea what Caden's sudden fascination of the Michael Jackson grab was!! Goodness me!)
Yep... things were going well... or so it seemed... but appearances are not everything... are they?!!

While Caden was trying to make his move... pulling out all of his best tricks... sweetest smiles and even most sympathetic gestures... he had some competition...lurking in the background... trying to be sly about his moves, but not quite sly enough...

Uncle Josh was TOTALLY "saltin' his game..."

Apparently, Fallin had quite the crush on Uncle Josh... she kept trying to push him over and mess with him... and then the lowest of ALL blows came when Fallin's Mommy texted to tells us that Fallin said, "DOSH.... DOSH... DOSH!!" the ENTIRE way back home to Waco!!

You have got to be kidding me??!! All of that work... laying down on the ground to tell her it is OKAY to be tired!! Letting her have one of my french fries at lunch... Sharing my trains... ALL FOR NOTHING!!

Thanks a lot Uncle JOSH!

And for those of you who do not know what "saltin' his game" means... let me help you out! I couldn't believe it when my supposedly "young and hip" brother and sister-in-law had NEVER heard of the expression when I jokingly chastised Josh after Caden's date with Fallin...

"Saltin' his game," they said?!!!

Justin and I are WAY HIPPER than we thought apparently!! Or maybe we're just more pop-cultured!

Either way...for you less hip/pop-cultured people out there... according to the Urban Dictionary, the phrase "saltin' my game" was first used by Sir-Mix-A-Lot in a song called "You Can Have Her," but it was made popular by the TV Show, The OC (which Justin and I have WATCHED from the pilot to the series finale... BIG fans!!). The phrase means, to publicly insult or demean someone even if it is UNINTENTIONAL especially when they are around someone they are trying to impress. It is similar to "cramp my style."

So as you can see this was CLEARLY a case of "saltin' the game!"

Uncle Josh-1, Caden-0... but next time... it might be different!

Watch out Fallin... Caden's on the prowl!!
