Addison's Blessing

Here is one set of pictures from this summer as I play catch up. I am not going to have the Internet for this next month so if you don’t hear from me for awhile; I have a good excuse this time.

We blessed Addison on August 7. I don’t remember a lot about the day because I hooked up on some seriously great Oxycontin but I do remember the most important parts like family, the priesthood and Addison. We were so grateful to have so many family members there, especially since they came from everywhere. Brighton did such an amazing job with the blessing and I am so grateful for his priesthood authority. Addison is so lucky to have so many worthy priesthood holders in her family and I am grateful they love her so much.

Afterwards we had a light luncheon in my grandpa’s backyard and enjoyed some great family time. As I look back at the pictures I realized that they were the last pictures we ever got with my grandpa. He passed away about a month and a half later and so I am grateful for the tender mercy of having those pictures.

A quick funny story about her blessing dress. When we, my mom and I, went to pick out her dress the lady at the store said that if she spits up on any of the dresses we have to buy it. So we grab a bunch of dresses to try on Addison and the very first one we put on her she spit up in. However it was just a tiny bit so we tried on all of the other dresses. We had narrowed it down to a couple of dresses and started trying them on her again. We put the first one on her again and she spit up ALL over it this time. So my mom and I decided it was a sign and we took that dress. If we didn’t understand what she said the first time, we definitely got it the second time around.

Prepare to be overloaded in pictures.
