I will remember you!!!

Memorial Day....first we headed to my sister Nicole's grave. I always look forward to visiting her grave every year. When I was growing up visiting her was exciting...I am close to all my sisters and it is exciting to think there will be one more sister to "clash" with:) I am so excited to eventually have a BIG sister in my life!

Aunt Ally and Avery at Nicole's grave.
Haylee is proud to carry on her Aunt's name! The kids love looking at all the baby graves at Provo Cemetery. Haylee walked around pointing out all the headstones with pictures on them. She told Aunt Ally...and I quote, "there is a lamb buried here!" as she pointed to a sweet babies grave with a lamb on the headstone. She is so funny! Then we headed to my precious baby's burial site. When we arrived this is what we found.....
I was happy to find the flowers I left there on Mother's Day were still there and alive, and Aiden had a few other visitors earlier that day that left us surprises, that warmed my heart! Thanks to all my family that continually supports us through this trial, We love and appreciate you all!
The flowers and pinwheel weren't enough for Ethan and Haylee! My kids always head for the trees to gather acorns to decorate the grave with! They also like to gather sticks and other misc. items they can find around the cemetery ( and no we never take from other graves:) )

My parents and my sisters came to show how much they love and miss my baby...I could never have moved on with life without their support!
Daddy and Avery snuggled as we thought about how crazy life would be if we still had our sweet Aiden!!! We really miss him and wish he was still here.
Ethan and Haylee searched and searched for as many acorns as they could hold.

After they thought they had enough they decorated the grave with them...
Jack and Aiden would have been best buds...Ethan and Haylee love Jack so much, we love having a cousin on the Shippen side

The finished product...

Aunt Avery is learning to love Uncle Luke...she is coming around;)
Our whole family
We think the cemetery we picked is beautiful, especially on Memorial weekend with all the flowers
After Aiden's we went to Gammi and Papa's Grave. We weren't the 1st ones there either. We brought the orange mums to add to all the other beautiful flowers. We miss you Gammi and Papa. I wish my kids got to know you better!
We had a great day visiting all those that left us behind. I know that someday we will see them again, and I can't wait! I can't wait to hug my sister, and gossip about all the other sisters. I can't wait to hold my sweet baby boy in my arms and sing to him, rock him, and kiss his sweet little cheeks! I can't wait to see him smile or hear him laugh! I can't wait to hear his 1st words, or see his first steps, and I especially can't wait to have him in our home with us forever! It kills me a little bit each time I have to leave him at the cemetery! I love you Aiden Rex! I can't wait until my kids and I get to spend time with Andy's Grandparents, and really get to know them.

We will always remember those who left before us....
