Addison is going to be blessed this coming Sunday and I am so excited. Since she was born I've been waiting for this day, she had such a tough start but now she gets to have her name on the records of the church. I feel that this is so important for her and our family. I wish that I would remember the blessing that she had in the hospital. I remember I was just so in despair and at that time I was still so scared for her little precious life and hated to watch her struggle for every breath that first week. Addison has truly changed my life in such a good way, I could've never imagined having these strong feelings of love and hope that I have for her. I just look back on the last few years especially this last one, I was so consumed with my work when I found out I was pregnant with Addison I was so excited but a little piece of me was like I am still going to want to work just as much and have this same life and build a career for myself.... oh but that wasn't the case. As soon as Addison came into this world I was totally consumed with love for her and I never want to be away from her. Addison also has helped my testimony of this church grow more than I could have imagined. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me so much and he trusts me to raise her correctly and make good decisions to help her through her life. I just remembered when I would pray for her in the hospital I could feel how much Heavenly Father loved her and that he had felt the same pain that I had felt, watching my precious little baby struggle so much and have to fight so much. I am so excited for our family that is coming to be a part of her special day and I appreciate their support. I finally feel like we are going to be ok and that Addison is going to be ok. I know that she is such a special Spirit and I hope that I can be all that she needs in this life. Sunday is going to be a great day!!!
These are very rare photos of Addison, a lot of people haven't seen these. It is hard to imagine that this was her start in life.

Aw Jill and steve I am so sad that we can't make it to Idaho for addison's blessing. Make sure and write as much down as you can. I still look back at Brook and mason's and it amazes me how much the lord blesses these tiny people. Have everyone write as much as they hear and maybe you'll get the whole blessing to reread for years! I love you guys so much and we can't wait for everyone to get together in July! I wish we could make it this week. I hope you know that.
I just love seeing pictures of her and those 2 of her newborn in the hospital just break my heart!! I can't even imagine how hard it would be to see your baby like that! I am so glad she was so strong and is doing so amazingly well! I wish we could be there for the blessing!!
Little addy is a fighter and she will continue to be. ITs amazing the joy and happiness you can feel in one small step of having a baby. I wouldn't trade any of my kids no matter what they do or say. THere mine and I love them. Glad to see your are realizing why I was so up for staying home. Its hard but I love it. I hope you can do the same soon.
So excited for Sunday! You're doing a great job Mom and Dad!
