Fun in the fountain

Today we were running errands with Grammy and we decided to stop and play in the water fountain at the local park. The water was freezing, but Aiden didn't seem to mind. He had a blast splashing around and Grammy and I had a blast watching him :)

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles...

The 2 men I admire the most

Cam,

You are such an amazing father and I admire you very much. I have been impressed by the type of father you are from the very first time I saw you with KK and Emma. Now, watching you with our son my respect and admiration for you grows daily and I am so excited that soon there will be one more sweet baby for us to love. You are strong, loving, stable, dependable, goofy, gentle and an excellent example for our children. There is no one in this world that I would rather raise children with. The unconditional love, respect, and strength that show our children is a priceless gift and they are so lucky to have you. Thank you for all you do for our family. You are my best friend and I love you with all my heart...Happy Father's Day!

Dad,

You set the bar high and honestly I wasn't sure that I would ever find anyone who could be as wonderful to my children as you were to me. You have always shown me unconditional love and your confidence in me gave me the strength to have confidence in myself. One of the first examples of this is when we lived in Cushing. There was a nest of baby birds in our yard and you took me out to see them. You explained to me how fragile they were and told me that you weren't going to show them to Aaron or Kara because you didn't want them to be accidently harmed (Kara was too little and Aaron was in a bit of a destructive phase). I could tell the baby birds were important to you and the fact that you trusted me enough to show them to me made me feel SO SPECIAL. That is one of the first times I can remember feeling truly confident in who I was. Thank you for this and so much more. I love you, Dad...Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day Weekend

So, this wasn't quite the Father's Day Weekend that Cameron deserved (although he did get to play in 3 soccer games which I know made hime happy). The weekend started out great. Emma had her soccer game Saturday morning, and although she said her throat kind of hurt, she played GREAT! After the game instead of having some fun in the sun we decided it was best for Emma if we had her rest a bit. We were supposed to go over to Grammy and Poppy's for a little early Father's Day BBQ and Emma said she felt up to it. However she spent most of the night on the couch and on our way home she was in tears because she felt so sick. Poor punkin has what Aiden had 2 weeks ago. High fever and serious head and body aches. Needless to say, Saturday night was a sleepless one for lil' sicky and I. Today Emma is still super sick, and I am extremely tired and still getting my butt kicked by morning sickness. Grammy and Poppy took Aiden for a few hours so he could get outside and I could get a nap (thank you SO MUCH) and the rest of the day was spent taking care of Emma. We did find time to give Cam his presents and we did let him get take out from his favorite restaurant (which I can't stand) for dinner. I apologized for the day and as he put it, "this is all part of being a father"...what a good sport.

A short video for G & P

This is a little message for Grammy and Poppy.

***Aiden's little hand gesture is his version of "hang loose***

We love and miss you guys!
