Dad

So a little while ago, my dad informed me that there were no pictures of him on our blog. I informed him that there was,but I guess there wasn't enough. So just for him I decided to do one just for him. He is the greatest dad, and has taught me so much through my life. I love to sit and watch him with Cashlee and Oakley. You can tell how much he loves them just by watching him. So here are some of my favorite pictures!

Craziness

Here is a picture I love! We were waiting to go to church and Cash wanted me to take her picture with Oakley!

I can't believe that it is almost thanksgiving! Where has the time gone? We have had so much going on and haven't been home much. It will be so nice when we can enjoy the holidays and spend time with our families. Oakley and Cashlee are growing so much. Cashlee is such a great big sister. We went to Jackson to watch Tyson's nephew play ball and then Ty and I decided that since we don't have a pool here, we might as well take Cashlee swimming. Cash and I had gone the day before with my parents and she loved it. So we took her again, and on the way home she kept asking me where Oakley was and if we were going to get her. It was so cute.

Here is a picture of Cashlee and what I found her doing the other day! She thought it was so funny!

Cashlee Turns Two!

It has been awhile since I have posted, and seeing how the whole family is sick, I finally have enough time to sit and write. I can't believe we have a two year old. She was so funny on her birthday. She kept singing happy birthday to everything. I don't think she really got the whole thing, but she loved opening her presents! Oakley decided that she would sleep through the whole party. She is such a good baby and has made the transition so much easier. Cashlee is such an awesome sister and has really adjusted well. We still have our moments, but I think that is just because she is at the two year old stage. I feel so blessed to have such a great family. I feel very blessed to have Tyson as my husband. He works so hard, and takes care of us girls. I love to watch him hold Oakley and Cashlee and just sit on the couch, or when him and Cashlee go outside to feed. I love sitting at watching them walking around and just having the father daughter time. Hopefully I will be able to update more, but we will have to see how the week goes.

Oakley Mae Hepworth

Well this week ended a lot different then I was expecting! Wednesday I went in for my week check up, and by the end of it, I was heading up to Jackson that night to have our new little girl. It was such an awesome delivery and everything worked out so perfect. I know that we were truly blessed. Oakley was born on 10/09/08. She weighed 8 lb and 3 oz, and was 20 and 1/4 long. She is the complete opposite of what cashlee was when she was born. Oakley has blond blond hair and blue eyes. She is such a little sweetie and I love the spirit her and Cashlee bring into our home.

The mighty hunters

I decided I had better post about this last weekend for Tyson. Last year I drew out for an antelope, but Tyson didn't, so this year he really wanted to get one. So my brother nate, and my cousin trent, and tyson all put in and drew out. Needless to say everytime they were planning on going, something came up. This last weekend they finally were able to go and successfully get all three. They were so excited. I guess Tyson couldn't sleep the entire night and was up at the crack of dawn glassing. I was able to go stay at my moms house and help her with grandma. I didn't want to be left at my house and have the baby decide to make her appearance, which at this point I am so ready! I have two weeks left and I am so excited to meet my little girl! I think Cashlee is ready too! The first picture is what the hunters took out hunting. My mom and I called it the train. The second is of Tyson's antelope and the third is of my brother nate and his. The last is one of Cashlee I took while we were just playing outside.

Potty Training

It has been a long time since I have posted. Nothing really exciting has been going on, except cashlee is finally I dare say potty trained! YAY! I have been trying for the last 3 months to get her trained and nothing seemed to work. Then I told my mom that I wanted to try the seats that actually sit on the toilet. The potty chair just didn't seem to work. So this last weekend, mom went to IF and came home with the greatest gift! A dora potty seat that goes on the toilet. As soon as Cashlee seen it she got so excited and no kidding went potty twice in like a half an hour. I was so excited. We haven't looked back since. The only thing we haven't done is an official trip to town to run errands. We are going to try today, so hopefully it will go smoothly. I am so excited to be done with diapers, at least for a couple of weeks. It is crazy that we are welcoming another little joy into our lives at anytime. I think I finally got the house ready which is really unusual because I have never been this organized. I just can't wait until Cash can offically meet her little sister!

Is Summer really gone?

These last couple of days have really got me thinking that fall might be on its way. Most people probably are sad that summer is going, but fall is my favorite time of year and I am excited to have it coming. I was looking back today on all the things we've done this summer, so I thought I would post some of them. We've had so much fun this summer. From camping, rhino rides, picking raspberries, and just hanging out at our house or the granparents I feel like this summer has really been a success.

Hogs and Horses!

The last couple of weeks have been so crazy! We were so excited for the fair this year, but sadly it wasn't quite what it used to be. This year Ty and I decided that because Cashlee loves horses so much that maybe we could put her in her first horse show. They had a leadline at the open horseshow where the kids get led around on thier horses. Tyson and Cashlee was so excited. We had Dixie make her a little pink shirt and a pink tie for Ty. It was so cute to watch her. She was the youngest one out there, but she did an awesome job. It was so neat to see how excited Tyson got and to see him and cashlee bond so much with horses. I am sure this was just a beginning of a lot of horserides and shows, and I am so excited that we all share the same love for horses. Tyson also got to be a part of the pig wrestling. His team did a great job and ended up taking third. My little brother also had a team, but they just simply got ran over by the pig! I can't believe that it is almost September. August has just flown by and the closer we get to October I can't believe that we will be having another little bundle of joy bless our home. I feel so blessed with my family and I am so thankful for the life that I get to live each day. We are having our Hepworth Ranch Rodeo this weekend, so I hope I will have more to post later.

She's not a baby anymore!!

I finally have come to the realization that Cashlee isn't a baby anymore. Sunday when I was getting her ready for church I decided I would try to curl her hair. When I got done I almost started to cry because it made her look so much older! After I got done, she looked in the mirror and turned and told me, "Mommy cute!" In the last couple of weeks she really has been putting words into sentences and it is so much fun to hear the things she tells you. The other day while Ty was at work she came and told me that he was out chasing cows and grandpa was helping. It was so funny. This age is so much fun and I hope that it doesn't go by to fast! She also got a new swing set from her grandpa and grandma. I am proud to say that I put it up all by myself. Tyson couldn't believe it when he got home and it was all done!

Baby Hepworth is.....

So this last friday we went up to Wilson for an ultrasound. With this baby I really haven't had a set idea of what we are going to have, but Ty seemed to think that it was going to be a boy. Well He was completely wrong. We are having another girl! The doctor was 90% sure but the baby was breach so he couldn't get a clear view but Ty said that you could tell that it was a girl. I am so excited for another one. I think Ty was set on his little boy but he will be awesome. Dr. Brecheen told him that he just needs to face the fact that he will be surrounded by girls!

Crazy Summer

The last couple of weeks have been so busy! I love the warm weather we have been having but it seems like with the warm weather comes lots of outside work. For the last couple of weeks we have been working on our chicken coop. It was so fun to watch Ty and Cash work on it. She insisted on using the hammer and actually she does better then I do! We finally got it done and got the chickens in. Cashlee loves to go out and feed them. She thinks she needs to play with them, but she can't figure out why they run! This last weekend we had the chance to go do sealings at the temple. It was so much fun. I love the feeling you get when you just get done in the temple. All your worries are gone and you can just feel the spirit. After the temple we had to get a fence for our front yard. I hope that it will keep Cashlee in and safe. She is so quick that I am so scared that she is going to get out on the road. Yesterday, Ty and I decided that we needed just a fun family day so we decided to go to Bear Lake. It was so much fun. I really didn't know what Cash would think of the whole thing but she walked right into the lake and kept walking. We had a hard time getting her out. I loved just being able to sit and enjoy the time with my family.

Fun Times

As I was sitting inside today hoping that Cashlee and I might be able to go outside, I came across some pictures of when we recently went to the zoo. I decided that I would post about this because the weather isn't really giving us very many outside days. We ended up going with my parents and it was so much fun. Cashlee loved seeing the animals, she really liked feeding the goats. She lets you know just how the goats eat now. It is so funny. I hope that we will have some more sunny days coming but at least we got one fun activity.

Graduation

Yesterday we got to go to our nephew's preschool graduation. It was really fun to watch Brock and to see how excited he was to graduate. i didn't even know that they did preschool graduation. During the graduation, I don't know if it is because I am pregnant or what but I almost lost it thinking that in a couple of years Cashlee will be in the same place. Time goes by so fast, and it seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Now she wants to go outside and ride her horse and refuses to let me help her with anything. I just hope that I can cherish each day so that day won't get here as fast.

So I finally decided that it is time for us to have a blog. I don't know how good I will be at this, but I know that it should be a lot easier then sitting down and writing in a journal. Tyson and I are currently living in good ole Auburn. He is working for Jeff Andrews as a plumber. We also are helping his dad run the ranch. Cashlee is now 19 months old and is the funniest little girl! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with her. We are expecting our second in October. It will be interesting have two kids.
