29 Time to Shine

29 WHAT!! Where is the time going?? Every year I have a theme for the year to come... i totally can't remember what 28 was I think it was 28 looking great UMMM that only happened a little due to pregnancy but I am grateful to have our little guy so there will be no complaining. So I have lots of themes for 29 but the one that seems the most applicaplicable is 29 TIME TO SHINE. I freak out a little at the thought of not being in my 20's anymore but I'm also convincing myself 30's will will great however lets save that for later. 29 will be a great year I refuse to let the twentys leave without going out with a bang so this year I will do things I have never done before and try my hardest to worry less and love more. Happee 29 to me ha ha.

Happee 2nd Birthday Blaze

Baby Blaze,
Happee Happee Birthday our sweet little angel! Today you would be 2 I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. I can't believe it has been 2 years since we faced the greatest joy and greatest heartache we have ever felt. Not one day goes by that we don't think of you and pray that you will know how much you are loved and missed. Thank you for coming to our family and for blessing the lives of so many in your short week on earth. Each day as I watch your brother grow I think he looks so much like what you would like at his age. You both look just like your handsome daddy. I know he sees you in his dreams each time we talk about you he gets a little smile on his face he knows who you are. He got some balloons for you today and wanted to hold one before we put them on your grave. Thank you for watching over us from heaven and bringing heaven near. We love you so much and can't wait to hold you in our arms, to rock you and to sing sweet lullabys to you. We sent a balloon to heaven for you today share it with Malia and know how much WE LOVE & MISS YOU!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Grayson & Dexter

Make a Difference in May (Year 2)

It is May already!! This May will mark 2 years since we had our little Angel Blaze & he returned home to heaven.I can't believe it has been 2 years... not a single day goes by that we don't think of him, miss him, and pray to let him know how much he is loved.


Last May we decided as a way of honoring Blaze we would do "Making a difference in May" to honor our little angel by serving someone in need. Thank You everyone who joined us in making a difference in the lives of others like our little Blaze did in his short time on earth. Thank you for sharing your touching stories with us and for helping us to find a way to bridge the gap between here and heaven.
This year we would like to once again extend the invitation to join our family in making a difference in May, to bless the lives of others and serve others in need. We are often the ones who receive more than the ones served. So as you go about your day to day lives we would love for you to join us in helping others along their way.

We would LOVE to hear your stories and services done for others they will be added to Blazes book and our families memories forever! Thank You for supporting and Loving our family through sunshine and rain we are blessed to have angels in heaven and angels on earth in our lives. We love You!

Overflowing Heart

We have been very busy in the King household. This weekend we went to Moab for the 2nd annual 1/2 marathon for Blaze. This year we were joined by Rays Brother Tristan and Tryel our darling S.I.L. Elena and our Uncle Lance. What an inspiration they all are to me! I wasn't able to run obviously with a new little baby there was no time to train but I was so grateful for each of them as they crossed the finish line in honor of our little angel. Grandpa King & Grayson at the condo in Moab just relaxing so sweet! We hiked to Delicate Arch on of the most BEAUTIFUL things I've ever seen and this was our 2nd time seeing it. Grayson was such a good baby he slept the whole way and was a little lightweight. Tyrel & Elena finishing the last stretch with their boys AMAZING! Uncle Lance 'For Blaze' on his bib Thank You Uncle Lance! Ray finishing stong WAY TO GO HONEY & DADDY WE LOVE YOU!! Everyone in a candid shot what an AMAZING group THANK YOU EVERYONE WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
