Three years ago today.....

....Addison silently entered our lives. I know I have been changed forever by her life and her death. So today, we celebrated our sweet little girl. We miss you baby.

When we got up, I told Tanner that today was Addison's birthday. All day he asked me questions....how old would she be? why did she die? Are you sad she died Mommy? At the cemetary he asked where he'd be buried when he died.

We had dinner, went to the cemetary where we released balloons and then came home for cake!

I asked Adylin where the balloons went?!?!
Daddy getting Matthew to smile for the camera.

We took a little windmill for Addison and Matthew wanted it so bad!!!



MMMMM....cake. We went home and had cake. The babies fell asleep, so they missed out, but our friend Sam came over and shared with us.

Tanner wanting to eat the cake!!!!! I got his favorite.

Mommy and Tanner Day

Tanner has been off-track the last three weeks, so I decided last Tuesday to take Tanner with me to work and go to the zoo in the morning. We had so much fun, but only saw about half of the zoo though. After the zoo, we went back to work, where Tanner watched movies,
colored and bugged Mom. We also went to McDonalds for lunch. Tanner was really good, so I took him again with me the following Tuesday....we took my Mom to the zoo with us and had so much fun. This time we stayed longer and saw the whole zoo. My Mom took pictures the second time, so I'll have to get some from her. The best part the second time was the "zebras fighting". Tanner LOVED to watch them bite and kick each other...it was really cool.

Park City Vacation

We went up to Park City on Thursday, August 23. We hurried and got in our swimsuits and had so much fun at the pool. After swimming, Davis gave the kids a bath in the HUGE tub and I made dinner. We soon got the kids to sleep and started to relax. Around 11 oclock I heard a noise I didn't like. I turned to Davis and said, "I think Ady's throwing up." He went to check on her and just as he's checking in on her, she starts throwing up. We cleaned up the mess, just in time to have her do it again and again. We went through so many towels, sheets and blankets. Around 3 am she was settled and asleep. Just before Davis came into our room, Tanner started throwing up. AH THE JOY!!!! We went through every towel, sheet and blanket in our condo....ewww. I finally had Ady wrapped up in the hotel provided robe. Morning came WAY too fast for us. We made a quick trip to walmart to pick up sprite, saltines, laundry detergent (we had a washer and dryer in our unit....YAY!) and lysol. Friday was mostly a lazy day, the kids puked a bit more, but we figured it was cool. So Saturday comes and we are happy to have 3 happy non-puky kids. After lunch we went to the pool for a little while and then I took the kids back to the condo....our friend Sam Sweet came up with his two boys and they went swimming with Tanner and Davis.
We were supposed to have the condo Saturday night and Sunday morning, but I was ready to o home. Lucky for us Tanner started puking again that night!!!!!

Little did I know that there were parasites in most public pools.....hmmmm, what a lame vacation. OH, as you can see, there are no pictures...I forgot my camera. I think Davis took a few shots, so I will see if I can get them from him and post them.
