A lot has happened

I haven't posted to this blog for a while. So here is a brief update. In October we learned that the baby girl we were anxiously awaiting would not survive. On March 7, 2011 after 20 minutes of love and tears Mackinley Ann Koyle returned home to her Heavenly Father. She came to us a tiny 3lbs. 14oz and 14in long with a heade of beautiful dark wavy hair. She is a blessig to out family and we will be forever greatful for the 9 months and 20 minutes we had with her, and look forward to the eternity we will get with her.

New blog

For those of you intrested in following the happenings of our MAckinley I have set up a blog about it you can find it at

A family update

I know this is a little past due. And most of you are aware of our situation. We learned in June that we are expecting our 4th child. The end of October we went in for our regular 20 week ultrasound to learn that there are complications. From there we were sent down to the Makay-Dee Hospital in Ogden for a more through ultrasound. After the ultra sound we met with the doctor as well as a genetisist. Where we learned after having an amnioscentesis that our little girl has a condition called Trisomy 18. which is "not compatible with life". Seh has many complications and will either be still born or die after birth. i am now almost 25 weeks and we are just taking each day one at a time. And are thankful for any time that we will be allowed to spend with her. We have chose the name Mackinley Ann Koyle. And will look forward to the day when we will all be together in heaven

A weekend away ...

We decided to do a giant family camping trip with David and Makyla, Mom and Dad Koyle, Beck and Holly and David's parent 2 sisters and their fiances... It was a GREAT time... I was a litle nervous about how it would be with a two year old running around. But we had a great time.. Jordyn probably enjoyed herself more then anyone. There was 4-wheeler riding, fishing and rock climbing.. what a great trip
