Sweet, Sweet Kaya

Here are a few pictures of our first born child. Adam and I got Kaya as a puppy a couple weeks after we moved into our house in Woods Cross. We had been married less than a year. She was the chubbiest of the litter and the sweetest too! She has been a huge part of our lives for 7 years. When Ellee was born, Kaya would always sleep right next to Ellee's bed to keep her safe. One of the first things Ellee said was "no keessees" because Kaya loved to lick her. She has taken orders from her younger sister, Ellee and her younger brother, Isaac with pleasure. One of the first things Isaac said was "good girl." We have enjoyed camping, swimming, (we had to talk her into that...) walking and just playing in the yard - a lot! On many occasions, she even went to work with us.

Kaya was really sick on Thursday. We took her into the Pet ER. She had an infected uterus. She went into surgery late Thursday night. She made it through surgery, but got progressively worse. She wanted to fight it, to come home with us, but she couldn't. We said our goodbyes late last night. As we were driving home, Ellee was consoling Adam and me. Isaac was saying "Jesus Christ, Amen." He must have known we needed the prayers. We will miss her so much!

WE LOVE YOU KAYA!!!!!
