At Two-Steppin’ Productions, we love sharing our rodeo journey, offering support on topics like pregnancy and infant loss, and keeping you updated on events. Hello, my name is Kaitlyn Stepp, and I am the owner of Two- Steppin’ Productions. In January of 2025, my husband, Andrew, and I were expecting the arrival of our fourth little cowgirl, Lainey Jayne. Little did we know that God would have a di
fferent plan for our family. Sweet little Lainey Jayne Stepp was born with her Angel Wings on Thursday, January 09, 2025, at 11:13AM. Our sweet baby girl weighed 5 pounds, 6 ounces, was 18 inches long, and had a beautiful head of dark hair. As you can imagine, the loss of a child is the worst nightmare for any parent. Even on our darkest day, we found comfort from the love and care we received from our hospital staff. The wonderful labor and delivery nurse handed us a box filled with many treasures from a foundation called, Born With Angel Wings. Inside the box we found a beautiful burial gown and cap sewn from donated wedding dresses, grief and burial assistance information, lovely poems, a tiny baby blanket, and so many more items that we now cherish. I was so amazed at how thoughtful the items were, and the time so many people put in to create them. In my grief, I could feel our God’s hands steadying me and telling me to just be still. In those moments of stillness, I realized he was calling me to something much greater. To heal from my heartbreak, I needed to get involved some way. I quickly reached out to the founder, Anne McCoy Ancelet. We chatted through a few emails, and she suggested that I start by making the no sew baby caps since I am sewing machine challenged! I loved working on the caps, but I still felt I was called to do more. In the days after we lost Lainey, our family, church, community, and rodeo family poured their love and support into us. Many women reached out to me with their stories of loss and listened to me when I needed to talk. “How could I repay their kindness?”, I would say to myself and honor the memory of Lainey Jayne. Then it hit me like a brick wall!! I should hold an annual memorial barrel race in her name with the proceeds going to help foundations like Born With Angel Wings.
