September 6, 2006 was the second birthday of our sweet Addison. I can't believe two years have gone by, well unless you look at my GROWING family. The day didn't go as planned. NONE of the kids would nap so by the time Davis got home at 5, it was a mess and they were ready to eat dinner and go to bed. Well, mean mom took them to the cemetary. Surprisingly they did well there, but then, well, it doesn't matter how the rest of the night went One cool thing, Tanner is 5 now and he asked a lot of questions. It was fun to talk to him about her. I don't know if any of you have seen Brother Bear II, but in it they point to the heart and say, "Once you love someone, they're with you forever, Right here." After we went and let balloons go at the cemetary, Tanner got in the car and said, "I love Addison, MOM. And once you love someone they stay in your heart forever!" It was cute.

McKell got there before we did, so she had all ready cleaned off the headstone and placed flowers.


Here we are getting ready to send balloons to Addison for her birthday. We sang happy birthday and let them go.

You are such a "strong" person, no pun intended. I really enjoyed your testimony a few weeks ago. I have seen you grow, spiritually, by leaps and bounds the past 2 years and it has been wonderful to watch.
Thanks for being a great friend, and a great example!

I was there in spirit... I so wanted to come. That day wasn't an easy one...
I am glad that Tanner is asking about this. Brother Bear and Brother Bear II seem to be 'our' movies!!
Well, Honey, it's been a tough time, with many blessings in tow.
With All My Love,
Grandma with Rusty
