Christmas Time!

I love christmas time! There are so many fun traditions out there and I wanted to have one that would be around. So we decided we would decorate our stockings this year. The girls loved it


We also decorated our christmas tree and then that weekend was the Hepworth Christmas Party! It was a lot of fun, but I didn't get very many pics of that, but I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Update

It has been forver since I blogged, but we have been so busy around here that I just kind of forgot. I cannot believe that it is November already. We had a great summer and it doesn't look like it is slowing down anytime soon. Cashlee started preschool in September and loves it. She can't wait for thursdays to roll around.She turned 4 in October. She definantly got spoiled! She loves to be outside playing or helping do chores. She has such a sweet spirit and definantly keeps us on our toes! Oakley is not my baby anymore. She turned 2 in october and has grown so much! She finally decided that she can use the potty and hasn't looked back. She loves to go out and ride the horses or help me cook and clean. She has such a tender heart and such a fun personality. The other news is that we are expecting! We are due on April 23. We find this month what we are having. We are pretty excited and the girls are too! Well here are some pics of our lives.

Wonders Never Cease

So for my next book review, I am doing Wonders Never Cease by Tim Downs. I was excited to read this one because it sounded like it was going to be a good one.Here is the summary of the book.
"When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy thinks he has found his ticket to the life he's always wanted. As a med school dropout who was on his way to becoming an anesthesiologist, Kemp has the knowledge to carry off the crazy plan he concocts: adjust the star's medication each night and pretend to be a heavenly visitor giving her messages. He recruits her agent and a down-and-out publisher to make sure the messages will become the next spiritual bestseller and make them all rich.But his girlfriend's daughter, Leah, keeps telling people that she is seeing angels, and her mother and her teachers are all afraid that something is wrong.Before it's all over, they'll all learn a few things about angels, love, and hope."

Sounds good right? It followed the story line pretty well, and then all of sudden there would be another story line and add characters. It was almost like the author would be writing and then decide he would tie something else in. It is supposed to be about angels and a little girl seeing them,but in the end it just turns out to be tumors and a guy trying to make some quick money. It didn't run smoothly and the ending sounded like the author just got tired of writing. It isn't a book I would recommend.

Lovin Life

Well since I finally found my camera cord, I decided I would update my blog. I don't know how often I will during the summer, so this might be one of the last ones. We have had so much fun the last couple of weeks. It has been crazy busy, but the sun decided to come out and we took full advantage of it. Cashlee had her first performance in gymnastics and was awesome. She was so excited and still talks about it. They even had some gymnasts come from Utah that did some routines and she loved it. She turns everything in my house into a balance beam or bars or does headstands on anything she can. Oakley is right behind her. She is getting pretty good at talkin and will tell lots of big stories to anyone who will listen. She is such a little parrot. I love the age they are at. They get to help us feed everyday so they ride in the tractor with me and honk at the cows. Oakley definantly knows how to get those cows out of the way. Well I hope that the sun keeps shining because we are definantly ready for summer.

Walk Like You have Somewhere to Go

So I decided to join this book club that one of my friends told me about. You get free books in the mail, and you post a review on your blog, and then pick another free book. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Anyway the book I read was by Lucille O'Neal, "Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go". As the mother of one of the greatest athletes of all time, her journey is exceptional;but her story reveals that she is more than just "Shaquille O'Neal's mom. It shares her struggles and disappointments against the backdrop of her sweetest memories and proudest accomplishments. She has been a rebellious teen, a single mother, a wife, a college student, a divorcee, and above all, a woman of unique courage.
I really liked this story. At first I was not that excited because I usually don't like reading these kind of books. After starting it I was hooked. It reminded me that everyone has to start somewhere, and that we shouldn't judge people before we really get to know them. She has such a great outlook on life, and really inspires people to be better and to always look on the bright side of things. I definantly would recomment this book.

Trying to Keep Up!

I do not know where the month of March went! It has been so busy and it doesn't look like it will be slowing down anytime soon! We are still calving and of course still feeding with the team and sleigh. So that takes up most of the afternoon. Cashlee is growing so fast, and is turning into quite the girl. She loves going to gymnastics and is anxiously awaiting her new leotard(youatard acording to her)for her end of year performance in April. Oakley is definantly not my baby anymore. She runs, and giggles all day long. Her and Cash are such great sisters. Oakley has been climbing on everything. I have found her on the table, in the bathroom sink, in the bathtub, and today she climbed to the top bunk in their room. They keep me running! I have been watching our neighbor boy Caden during the week, so Cash and Caden have a lot of fun together. They love to hunt the stuffed animals and go outside. Oakley just tags along, and does her own little thing. This next week we get to go on a getaway with Grandma Teresa and Grandpa Nick so Cash got some goggles to wear in the pool, she has been practicing swimmin a lot. Then we head to Ogden at the end of next week for a bull sale, and Dixie and I get to take them down by ourselves! Tyson has to work so he won't be able to come down till that night, so yah it will be interesting to see. I've drove clear across wyoming with a load of cows by myself, but this is in Utah, so like I said it will be an adventure!!

My favorite Time

I love this time of year! Although I am overly sick of winter,there is a little sign of hope when we start calving. We got our first calf yesterday and man he is a cutie! I love going out and watching them jump around and play! This is the first year that Oakley really knows what they are and she is so cute! We went out to see the little one and she kept pointing and saying baby! Cashlee is super excited to be able to help with them. We have one that might have twins so she might get to help feed the one, so she can't hardly wait. I cannot believe I just did a whole post on calving, but I guess when that is your business it is bound to happen.:)

Finally some Warm Weather

Today was such a pretty day! I was so excited to finally beable to take the girls outside. It has been pretty cold here lately. We helped with chores and played in the snow. I will probably update later. there are some before and after pics of the girls room. I finally got around to making curtains, well I should say Dixie made them I just watched. So here are some pics.

Update

It's pretty sad I haven't updated since Cashlee's bday. Our computer had been acting up and finally died. So we are in the process of getting a new one. So I will update when I can. Cashlee is getting so big! She had quite the personality and keeps us on our toes. She just started gymnastics and loves it. She loves to go out and ride the horses and feed with grandpa. It was so cute the other day I wish I had my camera. She was sitting on the bale with grandpa with her arm through his and they were just talking away. Oakley is growing like a weed. She doesn't talk much but she lets you know just what she wants. She loves being outside with the animals, and going riding with us. There is never a dull moment. Tyson is plugging along at work. He got a leather sewing machine for christmas and has been sewing like mad. He made me a pair of chaps, Cashlee a belt, his dad a headstall, one for himself and one for me. I'll have to post pictures of his work. I am loving being able to stay at home. I just started watching my cousins two girls during the week and it is so much fun. 5 girls in one house is quite interesting! There is a lot of giggling and squealing. My girls love having some one to play with besides mom! I just got put in as the Young Womens coach. The girls have been doing good and they are so much fun! Well I guess that is it for right now!
