Cashlee turns 3!

Cashlee turned three this last saturday. What a pretty day. We preg checked in the morning and then had a party for her at the smoot park. It was so much fun. Here are a whole bunch of pics!

Oakley is 1!!

I cannot believe that my baby is one! I do not know where the time went. She was so funny on her birthday. She got spoiled rotten and didn't know which present to play with. I made her a butterfly cupcake cake. She decided instead of eating hers, she was going to feed it to Grandpa Hal. Her and Cash are so much fun. We just got our family pictures done and I will post them when they are done. Here are some pictures of what we have been up to. Today we went up and watched our nephew Troy play football in Jackson. He did so good. He is the one with orange socks on in the picture.

Witnessing a Miracle

I feel like I need to post this so I will be able to look back on it. I don't think I will forget it anytime soon, but just so I have it. So last night, Ty and I needed to go help Hal bring the cows up from the field. I decided to take the girls with me and we would just take the rhino. I decided the easiest thing to do was to put Oakley in her car seat and strap her into the rhino. We got down to the bottom of the field, and I had to hold the gate so we could sort. I kept looking back at the girls to make sure they were ok. All of a sudden, I heard the rhino start. I turned just as it came flying past me. Cashlee had somehow managed to push the break in which you have to have pushed in to start it, and had the gas pedal clear to the floor. They hit the post right to the side of me and it luckily turned them and headed them down the fence line. Ty and Hal were on horses trying to get close enough to them and I was running behind them. All I could think was please please let it stop. I looked up just to see them hit the ditch and run into the water. Cashlee must have hit her head on the steering wheel and it bounced her back and her foot came off the pedal. We ran up to them and Ty grabbed cash who was so scared and telling her dad I am sorry. I didn't mean too. I grabbed Oakley out of her car seat and was looking her over, and apprantly she was ok because she started laughing. Cash ended up with a huge bruise on her cheek, but that is it. I have never been so scared in my life nor do I want to ever feel like that again. It was a blessing that the post turned them, it was a blessing they landed where they did in the ditch. If they would have went a inch in either direction, the rhino would have tipped on its side. I am truelly grateful that someone was watching over them. It made us learn some valuable lessons, but it also made me realize how fast they could have been taken from me. I am so grateful that they are ok and am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be their mom. I also learned that the key comes out everytime in the RHino.

Goin for a swim!

It finally happened! One of the horses decided to try out the swimming pool!

Watering Hole

So this summer we set up Hal and Dixie's pool. We only got to swim in it twice. Now the horses seem to think that it is the new hangout. They are so funny to watch. I think things are finally starting to slow down. I am so excited for fall to get here. Cashlee will be turning 3 and Oakley will be 1 in October. I cannot believe it. They are so funny and have quite the personalities. Oakley loves to ride in Grandma Dixie's scooter. She throws a fit if Grandma doesn't take her. Cashlee has become quite the little traveler. She is always at Grandma Dixie's or Grandma Teresa's and usually on Fridays is out helping Grandpa Hal with the chores.

Where has summer gone?

So we have been really busy this summer. Between weddings, haying, and playing there isn't a lot of time left. In July my fav cousin Trent got married. They are the cutest couple. I made them quilt which is only the second one that I've done and I quilted it all by myself! The picture doens't quite do it justice but oh well.

We had alot of fun at our Hepworth Ranch Rodeo this year. We even had some rodeo clowns. I think finally we are slowing down a bit. Oakley is growing so fast and is into everything. She has got such a cute personality. She never slows down, unless she is on a horse and then she actually sits still. cashlee is turning into quite the little girl. She is full of spunk and keeps our lives interesting. Our computer is down, so it might be awhile before I can post again, but here are some more pictures.

Crazy Summer

I thought this summer was going to be pretty layed back but the way it has started I don't know. It has been so hectic. Last wednesday my grandma passed away. It just so happened that Tyson and I were down in Spanish Fork so we drove into Salt Lake and got to be with her. She was such an amazing women and the best grandma. I had the opportunity to give the tribute on Saturday at her funeral. It was so hard to share memories and know that us grandkids wouldn't have anymore. I am so thankful to have the gospel and know that this isn't the last time we will get to see her. So after we made it through the funeral, my little brother graduated from Seminary on Sunday and graduates tonight. I can't believe he is that old. I am so proud of him and the great person he has become. Tyson is working for US foods and is studying to take his CDL driving test. He is a little stressed but I know he will do great! He tests sometime this week, I have to call today and find out. I have a wedding present that I have to have done by the first of July and I haven't even started it. My garden needs to get put in, my lawn mowed, the laundry done.Oakley has started crawling and is getting into everything. Cashlee growing like a weed, she is such a little firecracker. I hope I can get everything done and get to enjoy the sunshine!
