Little Angels




Last week my cousin, Jill, gave birth to her & her husband's sweet little twins, Brayden & McKenzy. They were born almost 2 months premature. We are heart broken to say that little Brayden didn't make it. Something went wrong with his umbilical cord, & he passed away, which is what caused Jill to go into labor so early. We are all so sad that this little member of our family couldn't stay with us, but we are so blessed to have little McKenzy here and doing remarkably well. She is only 3.5 lbs. but she is breathing on her own & growing stronger everyday. We like to think of her as our precious angel baby. We had a graveside service for her brother on Saturday, which, as you can imagine, was extremely hard for everyone, especially mom & dad. But we know Brayden will always be with them, watching out for his beautiful sister, and we are very blessed to know that we will all get to be with him again someday.

My heart just goes out to her. I can't imagine how hard that would be. I am so grateful that we have the gospel to know about eternal families. I am thinking of her during this hard time and hope everything goes well with her new little girl. Luv you ash!

That just breaks my heart. I wish I could just give your cousin a hug. Having children really makes you even more grateful for eternal families. It's like having an insurance policy that guarantees that those children will ALWAYS be yours no matter what. And all that time you put into the pregnancy and everything will not be lost! I'm SO SO SO grateful to know that!

Hi everyone! Welcome to our blog! Brady and I were married on November 3, 2009. We live in a house in The Cove in Herriman. Brady is in commercial insurance and bonding for the Buckner Company and I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. We have a baby boy named Korvin who is our pride and joy! We also have a yellow lab named Daisy and an Imperial Shih Tzu named Axel. Brady and I are pretty chill. Besides snuggling our new baby, we love doing things like watching movies, taking walks, going on weekend trips to St. George, shopping for house stuff (I'll be punished for sharing that!),hanging out at the cabin, taking drives, and spending time with all our family & friends who we love dearly! Thanks for visiting & letting us share our life with you!
