Saturday, 9/3, was a very emotional day. Sweet Jaxon Payne in my ward passed away on August 30th and on Saturday we laid his sweet tiny 3 year old body to rest. The funeral was beautiful and the Payne family is even more beautiful on the inside and out. Such an amazing and sad experience.

Jaxon was laid to rest at the same cemetery as David's Dad. We loved visiting him that day. These pictures came from my camera phone so they are really distorted.....but at least I even have these!

I've only heard wonderful and amazing things about this man. I can't wait to meet him one day and to thank him for giving me his sweet son David. Families are forever!

Later that day we took our nieces (Madeline and Sydney) to the Diamondback's game for their birthdays. Their birthdays are a day apart. This day was Madeline's actual birthday and Sydney's was the next day. This was Sydney's first professional athletic game ever. We had lots of fun!
