Happy Birthday Kate!


Happy One Year Birthday! to our sweet little Kate! Can you believe it has been a year? At times it feels like a while ago, and at other times it feels like just last week. As I sat there looking at her grave stone today, I felt like it had just been a few days since we had buried her. The day she was born was kinda wintery weather like today was. The day we buried her was a beautiful day. Kate's funeral was the same day as President Hinkley's, and we reaped the benefits of that beautiful winter day a prophet was buried. We miss our little girl very much. We are so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel helping us know where she is and how happy and perfect she is.
It has been quite a year for us... we started the year burying our little girl and ended it burying our little sister mixed with some stuff in between. We are happy to have ended that year and started a new one. And with the new year I will try to resolve to be a better blogger cause I really didn't end 2008 off very good in the blogging world.
Here's to a new year!

Happy Birthday sweet little Kate! I want you guys to know I thought about you alot yesterday. I have Kate's Birthday written on my calendar, I can't believe it has been a year. I have a close friend who has lost 2 baby girls. She told me one of the hardest things is that she feels that everyone else has forgotten them and moved on. I want you to know that I haven't forgotten about Kate, I think of her often and I'm sure each day is a stuggle not having your sweet baby girl here with you, even though we know she is a precious angel watching over the two of you and her older brother every moment of your life. Now Brandie is another angel cheering you on in every step of your life right along the side of Kate. We love you guys, you are in my thought snd paryers often!

I can't see thru my tears very well right now.
I can't believe it's been a year. I hope 2009 brings so much happiness with it. You deserve it! You've had so much sorrow, I just can't imagine. Yesterday at church we were talking about those with 'unshakable faith' You are who I think of. What an amazing example you are to so many. Love you!!

I can't believe it's been a year already. The ceremony at the grave was one of the sweetest things I've experienced. Oh how grateful I am for the gospel in our lives.

Kristie and Clint--You have had a hard year. I had no idea you lost a baby last year. Ben usually keeps me updated on your lives. I am going to have to talk to him about that. Actually, now that I found your blog I can keep updated myself. Sorry to hear about Clint's sister as well. I hope things go better for you this year. The Jolley's
