Father's day, a tribute to Marc...

I know this is late, but I still wanted to share...

"Any man can be a father.  
It takes someone special to be a dad."  

Marc is a great Dad!!
He is always helping me in anyway way he can.
He will come over to watch Caden to give me a break,
wash the dishes, pick up Caden's toys and
run me a hot bath to relax.

He wants the very best for Caden,
like eating organic foods and saving for college.
I would even say that Marc
is more protective than I am : )
When Caden and Daddy are hanging out
they are usually watching the Lakers game and
Tiger Woods playing golf.
They go for walks outside and sing songs
like the "There's a party in my tummy."-Yo Gabba Gabba

I love watching Caden and Marc together.
Caden really looks up to his Daddy
 and brings out the silly in Marc : )

He is the greatest Daddy!! 
Even though are situation isn't ideal,
we try and make the best of it.

This is one of my favorite pics of  Caden
when he was just two weeks old.

The boys after Marc's hockey game at the rink.

On Father's day, I made Marc a filet mignon for dinner.

It came out great!! My first time making one. 

Then Marc opened gifts.

He got an iScan Trunking scanner,

to listen to police, track control towers, etc.

Then I got him a baby's first Stanford book.

It is really cute. 

It has the sports, alma mater,
mascot and history of Stanford.

Since Marc went to Stanford and he is an alumni,

we would love for Caden to go as well.

Only if he wants to go, of course : )

In the back of the book there 

is a place to put a picture of  Caden, to look 

like he has graduated from Stanford.

See the video...

Until tomorrow...

Caden giggles

Outside play...

I finally got Caden's sand table up on the patio.

He loves to put the sand in the water.

I think we ended up with more sand on the patio 

then in the sand table. 

Watching him play is entertaining. 

He is SO INTENSE! 

I think he gets that from his Dad,

very focused. 

You can almost see the gears working in his head,

just observing and taking everything in. 

Notice my corn growing in the background! : )

With such intensity!

This sand table is great!! Kept him busy while I 

cleaned up the patio.

Until tomorrow,

Caden giggles

All cracked up...

A couple days ago, 

Caden was cracking himself up 

making funny sounds with his lips.

It made for a cute picture moment...

He is growing up so fast...

 Caden has filled up my life with sunshine!! 

He is so much fun to be around. 

A typical day will be dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba,

cooking (he loves to cook in his kitchen when I cook,)

playing airplanes, calling everything "geen" (green,)

and chasing Caden around the house
on my hands and knees.

Oh, and lots of tickles.

Until tomorrow,

Caden giggles
