I remember when Brodi was born 3 years ago. I had been in touch with her birthmother's Grandma. I had discussed the possibility of BJ and Shannon adopting Brodi before she was born, but the birthmother wasn't ready to place Brodi for adoption at that time. It was very disappointing. I remember the Sunday they blessed Brodi in Sacrament Meeting - I kept feeling like Brodi should be in our family. Well, when Brodi was 1, circumstances changed and long story short, BJ and Shannon were able to adopt her. She has now been in our family for almost 2 years and we're so thankful to have her.
Brodi is full of life, mischief and fun! If there is something lying around that she shouldn't get into, she will surely find it! She is very smart - almost too smart sometimes. She's very tough! If she falls down and it looks like she might be hurt, she just gets right back up and is on to the next thing. She can also be very sweet and she loves to sit and have stories read to her. I love this picture of her - she loves to dress up.
Last night BJ and Shannon had a birthday party for her and this is the cute cake Shannon made for her. It's a doll and her skirt is the cake.
Brodi couldn't open her presents fast enough! She wouldn't even stop to look at what she got - she was quickly on to the next present - it was funny.
We sure love Brodi and we're thankful she's in our family. Happy Birthday, Brodi!
