Father's Day: All Day Every Day

Soooo...Father's Day was last month.

But in truth, wouldn't you agree that everyday is Father's Day? 

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Filling and Vanilla Buttercream Icing

UP themed - it is our favorite movie!!!!
"Adventure is out there!"

Although I could spend an eternity on how incredible my dad is, this blog is actually dedicated to Eric...

my amazing husband and loving father. 

This was such a fun and simple cake to make!

To help me with this blog is guest blogger, Torrey Powell. Although Torrey is only 14 months old, he is quite advanced and has requested that I translate for him. 

Ready Torrey?

"Bah bah" (that means he's ready :0) 

Tell me about Daddy.

"Dad is tall and has big hands. I like the way he pounds his feet on the stairs when he hears me wake up from nap...I think he wants me to know that he's coming to save me from my bed that looks like a jail."

No...I did not get to eat cake.
I am still mad.

What do you like about Daddy?

"I like it when Daddy reads me stories before bed time and sings me funny songs about Duke Boogaton. He is weird. Sometimes I think Daddy likes my toys more than I do...he always builds these enormous towers with my blocks while I steal his iPhone and change all his settings. And even though I throw tantrums when he tries to take it away...he still lets me knock the towers down :0)."

No, I did not get to pop the balloons.
I am still sad.

Anything else Torrey?

"The thing I love about Dad the most is the way he loves me. I can tell that he loves and protects me and provides for me and mommy. I love him." 

Daddy and Me at Mirror Pond

 Thank you Love Bug, that was perfect :0).

If only houses could fly... :0)
I think we'd go to Italy!

Dear Eric,

One of the greatest gifts you have given me is the opportunity to stay home with our little Torrey. You pour your heart into everything you do and nothing shows that more than the love and bond you have built with our son. He is such a perfect reflection of you...ALL of you. Your strength, stubbornness, intelligence, and kindness.I have loved seeing you grow as a father and come into your own! I know we were both unsure of ourselves when we first brought him home, but look how far we've come! Eep! Torrey adores you and always asks for you during the day :0) Thank you for being a model of what a man of God should look like. Being perfect, by not being perfect at all. Just loving God and letting the rest follow. We both love you so much and are ready for our next adventure!

Love Forever and Always,

Kina and Torrey

 Love You All! Take Care and God Bless!
