Our wonderful and supportive bishop then dedicated the grave and we placed flowers on the tiny casket. There was a beautiful moment during the service when the sun broke through the clouds...it was really neat. Jansen and Natalie were a handful, but as our bishop's wife pointed out, that's life in a family and our young kids are simply full of personality and spirit and we wouldn't have it any other way.
We took a walk through the cemetery with the kids after finishing the service and had a wonderful time being together as a family. Life is beautiful and we are blessed. Thank you, thank you from a place deep in our hearts for all your prayers, service, support and love. We have certainly felt it and have been buoyed up by it. Thank you, Monica, for taking such special pictures for us that day. There is a little video I put together at the bottom of the blog that kind of goes through the whole morning.

Beautiful! Thank you.
Whoever didn't tear up watching that movie and thinking about what you guys are going through right now is crazy. It looks like it was a beautiful day and that one tree is gorgeous. Keep up the faith and stay strong.
A beautiful tribute. What an amazingly picturesque place for your little Noah. The pictures were breathetaking, the music was inspiring, and the message was of course the sweetest part of all. An eternal family that will all be together again someday. I held it together pretty well until the picture of just you in front of the cemetary. Love you Jess. My prayers continue in your behalf.
What a sweet video to remember that gorgeous day. The pictures were absolutely beautiful...I continue to be amazed by your example of faith and strength. You have a beautiful family. It's times like this that I am so incredibly grateful to have the knowledge of the plan of salvation and eternal life. What a beautiful blessing...

I'm a little late, but I've been thinking about you and wondering how the service went. Thanks for sharing. It sounds like it was a very nice service and what a nice video to have. And btw you looked so pretty. Your whole family is very good looking.
The pictures look great! Oh how I love fall. And you're a total hottie... wowsers! Love you to pieces.
Wow Jessica. That was really powerful. Thank you for sharing your special day with us through this post.
What a sweet moment, you have captured forever. It's true what you say in the end. Moments like these though hard do bring us closer to heaven. Love you.
That was a beautiful post. I'm so sorry to hear about everything you have been going through. I miss you and your sweet family. I'll be keeping you guys in my prayers.
Dear Sweet Jessica!!
I was wondering where you had been; now to find out you were in Utah having a fun time, and then I had visitors and so I haven't checked your blog in awhile and I was SHOCKED to see your news. I've been crying at my computer for the past 15 minutes reading everything and watching your sweet video. Cloey walked in and found me in this state and gave me a hug and asked questions and then said, "It's going to be okay Mom!"
I wish I could do something for you. I love the name and how it has such a beautiful meaning. The little white outfit was adorable and even the best seamstress can't compare to a father's love. It was incredible that Nate did that. You are in my thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful mom you are!!!
