Well our worst fear was confirmed today. The Dr. office called to confirm the pregnancy did not work. I am finally calm enough to sit and let you all know. I am surprisingly doing okay. I still feel so much peace and know that the Lord is aware of what we are going through. It is hard to understand sometimes why things don't go the way we want or hope they would.....but I struggled for years to know what my purpose was and if I could not have children why was I here. I knew what my purpose was the second I held sweet little Cade and then again when we got our Jakie. I was meant to be here for them and I finally knew what my purpose was. Don't get me wrong this is so devastating for us but I have learned not to doubt the Lords plan for me. The road to have a family has not been easy for us but it has brought amazing blessings into our lives. All the hope and peace we have felt is real and I know that if we stay strong the Lord will bless us with more children. Thanks to all of you for your love, prayers and everything else you have done to help us believe. I still believe and refuse to give up! I love you all and I am grateful for each one of you and the blessing you are in our lives. To my sweet mom and dad who are gone I love you more than words can say. I am okay because you have taught not to ever give up and to always have hope and faith in the Lord and my savior. For that I am so grateful. You are always telling me how strong I am and it is because of the two of you! And to Carla and Merrill thanks for raising such a good man with so much faith, love, and compasion. I couldn't ask for a better husband. Thanks also for your love and prayers and helping us through this. At times like this we have to remember our blessings and just like Jon's blessing last night said "never give up hope". Sorry for such sad news......but thank you again for all you have done.
Lots of Love,
Jon and Kim

Jon and Kim, We love you so much. My heart hurts for you right now. You are one of my heros I have told you that before, but this just confirms it more. You have amazing strength and are always working to lift others up. You two are the most wonderful couple and people. We will continue sending our prayers your way.
What an amazing example your family is for us! Wow. Thank you for sharing your faith and hope. It is awesome to know that there is a different plan for each of us and to know what a blessing you are for Cade and Jake. We love you guys and are so sorry about the news.
You are amazing. I am so proud of you and what a strong mother, wife, and woman you are. You are truly an inspiration to me, and I'm so grateful we are able to reconnect. I want to share one of my favorite thoughts from President Hinkley and Helen Keller that remind me of you: "We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.
In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us.
None so great has ever walked the earth. None other has made a comparable sacrifice or granted a comparable blessing. He is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. I believe in Him. I declare His divinity without equivocation or compromise. I love Him."
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it."
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."
"Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light."
"It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal."
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
"The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse."
I love you Kim
We are so sorry. We can definitely empathize with your struggles and frustrations.....and your blessings of little ones brought to you in special ways! We are thinking of you. The Lawrences
I think I have read this post at least a dozen times with tears down my cheeks---all I can say is that I love you guys with my whole heart. Your strength and testimony are so inspiring. You have touched so many and are great examples to all of us. I know you guys will never give up- and you will be blessed for it. Thank you for sharing your testimony and for your sweet words. We love you more than words can say.....

Hey Layton Family!
We bet today has been a crazy day. Sorry about the news. If there is a family that can handle this crazy rollercoaster ride, it is you all. Keep being so strong -although a tear here and there doesn't hurt. Your family is such a great example of sacrifice, perseverence, and righteousness. Keep plugging away. The sun is shinning somewhere. Love you guys!
The VB Family!
I am so sorry. I have been thinking about you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Kim and John,
It's hard to understand why heartache is a part of life. But, it is okay to do just that and let your heart ache. You are so amazing and are such a good mom to your precious boys. The Lord loves you and is so mindful of you at this time. Remember, He will never tempt or try you above that which you are able. He trusts you with this trial and knows that you will only become stronger and closer to Him.
You are the best!
Hugs, Hugs, Hugs, and then some more hugs.
I think that sums it all up.
Sure do love you guys!
Rebecca, Dan, Ike and Porter
