Porter Hal Hepworth

We welcomed our sweet little guy on April 18th. He came out weighing 9 lbs. Yeah I couldn't believe it when the Dr. told us. The labor went really well and I am so glad that he is finally here. He is such a good baby and is definantly loved around here. Enjoy the pics!

Christmas Time!

2010-12-14T04:43:00.004-07:00

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!

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

2010-05-18T08:16:00.003-06:00

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

2010-04-26T22:14:00.003-06:00

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

2010-04-15T06:31:00.002-06:00

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!

2010-03-23T21:47:00.002-06:00

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

2010-03-06T16:31:00.003-07:00

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

2010-02-25T20:37:00.003-07:00

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

2010-01-23T14:06:00.002-07:00

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!

Cashlee turns 3!

2009-10-21T16:37:00.002-06:00

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!!

2009-10-12T22:48:00.002-06:00

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

2009-09-23T22:35:00.002-06:00

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!

2009-09-14T17:21:00.002-06:00

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

Watering Hole

2009-08-25T08:58:00.002-06:00

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?

2009-07-28T18:08:00.004-06:00

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

2009-05-27T09:31:00.002-06:00

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!

Officially a MOM!

2009-04-21T22:34:00.002-06:00

Today has been quite an interesting day. It has made me sit back and really think about being a mom. When Cashlee and Oakley were born, the first time I held them I was happy, overwhelmed, and trying to adjust to the thought that I was a mom. You want the best for your kids, and moms strive to give their whole heart to raising their kids. I have had many moments that have had me thinking of how blessed I am to be a mom, but today, I realized for the first time that officially I can say I am a mom.It is kind of graphic and long, so beware. It all started with Cashlee saying that her belly hurt. We had to run to town to get our dog that had a little operation to calm him down(I won't go into details.) So after picking him up and getting his pain meds, we were headed to Pizza Hut to support Heidi and LSR. Upon arriving, Cashlee informed me that she needed to throwup and sure enough up comes a popsicle into my hands.(Oh yes, I need to add that earlier in the week my little nephew also found it necessary to throw up on me and I also got to clean his up as well.) I then told Ty that we probably should go home, but Cash wanted to go in. So we headed in. It was great for the first couple of minutes and Cash even ate some pizza. Well we had just got our drinks and Cash informs me again that she needed to throw up. Well I had just stood up and up came everything onto me again. This time she managed to get my hair and both shirts I was wearing. So into the bathroom we headed and after cleaning up as much as possible we headed home. She felt a lot better and we were doing good. So since we have to keep an eye on our dog for a couple of days, he gets to stay in the house at night. We gave him his pill, and Ty decides to feed him. He hasn't eaten since yesterday so he ate a lot. I ran into the bedroom to get something and Tyson starts yelling that Roper just threw up all over the carpet. So out I come to the big mess. Tyson is in the kitchen freaking out saying he can't look at it or he will throw up. So me being the brave one grabs a bucket and plastic bag to grab everything and clean it up. Needless to say, I was very proud of myself and as I was sitting here tonight, had the thought that wow, I don't think 2 years ago you could have handled that. I guess this is just a little training that all moms get! Sorry so long, but I had to get everything in!

Easter Fun

2009-04-16T10:31:00.002-06:00

I can't believe Easter has already come and gone. Time flies by so fast. We had such a great Easter. We got to color eggs with Ty's family and then we had an easter egg hunt at my parents house. Cashlee and Oakley loved it. Cash was like a little hunter, she would sit and look and try to see all the eggs and then sneak up on them. Oakley liked to hold the eggs and laugh at Cash. I can't believe how big Oakley is getting. She rolls everywhere and is starting to try to crawl. On tuesday night we went to Ogden for some meetings that Tyson had. The girls and I got to play at the hotel. It was nice to get away even though the weather was horrible. We got to go to our favorite store and my wonderful husband got me a new pair of boots and a hat. I love love them. I was so excited. I hope that summer comes soon.

A Tribute to Storme

2009-04-01T16:30:00.002-06:00

This morning when Tyson went to check cows, he discovered that his dog Storme had passed sometime during the night. Tyson got him when he was in high school and they have been pretty inseparable since. When Ty and I were dating, we would take him on all of our horse rides. He loved being in the mountains. Everyone knew that if you threw a stick once for him, you better plan on doing it for awhile. He was so good with Cashlee. Last summer they loved to lay under the tree in our yard. He always would come and find Cash whenever we went outside. I am going to miss him so much, but I know that he had a great life! Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Spring Time Fun

2009-03-19T16:52:00.003-06:00

It is finally starting to feel like spring! Lots of things have been happening since the last post. Tyson started working for US Foods the first of March. We have been waiting for everything to go through and he has been working for two weeks now. We got to go with him to Ogden on Tuesday for training so the girls and I bummed around. We found a park to play at and with the weather at 60 who could resist. We ended up staying the night and went swimming. Pretty pathetic that we have to go out of town to go swimming. We also have started to calve. It's finally warm enough for Cashlee to go help and she loves it. Oakley is getting so big and can almost sit up by herself. She loves to play with Cashlee and Cashlee loves to make her laugh. Here is some pictures of Cash helping feed. The one is of her sitting on my cow. Yes I have a cow. I was bound and determined to make at least one cow nice, and she fits. She will come out and find you so you will scratch her back.

Sledding!

2009-02-11T10:26:00.005-07:00

The problem with living in the good ole Auburn Wyoming is that there is usually a 15 to 20 degree difference in our temperature and the towns around us. So last saturday it was so nice, the sun was shining, the snow was beginning to melt, but then we looked at our temp and it said 5 degrees. We have been waiting to take Cashlee sledding but it always is way cold over here. So we decided to go try the south end. By the time we got there is was 24 degrees which to us was a heat wave. We had a blast. Cash loved going down the hill and even hit a jump and stayed on. Her favorite though was making snow angels in the parking lot. Sad I know we drive her all the way up there and she would rather make snow angels. What a little stinker.

Girls just wanna have fun!

2009-01-20T21:33:00.002-07:00

There really hasn't been anything too exciting going on, so I thought I would post some pictures of the girls! Oakley is three months old already. She is such a funny little baby. She likes to hear the sound of her voice, and she will smile at just about anything. Cashlee is doing really good. She definantly keeps me on my toes. We have enjoyed having Tyson home for awhile. He is waiting to start another job, and has got to spend a lot of time with the girls. I cannot wait until summer comes. I think I have cabin fever really bad. I can't wait until the girls and I can start our garden and just enjoy the sunshine.

Smokey

2009-01-10T20:35:00.003-07:00

So forever tyson's dad has been saying that he wanted to get a new cowdog. We were just like ok, like that is ever going to happen. So finally on thursday, he told us that he was going to go get the little blue heeler. Cashlee was so excited to see it thursday night, but found out that grandpa wasn't going to get it until Friday. So finally on friday the little puppy was introduced to its new home. He is the cutest little thing. He did'nt quite know that to think of Cashlee at first, but he has finally got used to her very active personality. Today he followed her all around outside while she was helping dad and grandpa fix fence. Tyson took a couple of pictures of them, and they are so cute! It is so much fun to have a puppy around again!

Last of 2008

2009-01-06T15:46:00.004-07:00

Wow. Where has the time gone. We have had such a great year! We had a wonderful christmas and got really spoiled. On Christmas Eve, we went to these hot pools by Grace, Idaho with my family. We ended up being the only ones there and it was so much fun. Cashlee loved it! Here are some pictures of Cash and her grandma and grandpa!

Christmas was so much fun because Cashlee is finally figuring it out! Hal and Dixie came down to watch Cash open her presents and they ended up bringing their christmas down too. Cashlee got a leapster among other things and she really has enjoyed it. You will see from the picture. We went out to my parents later and opened some more presents. Oakley got a new toy to lay in and she is so funny with it. She didn't really know what to think of the whole thing, but liked watching everyone! Cashlee got a kitchen set and she plays with it everyday. Grandpa was cussing it that morning putting it together, but after the look on Cash's face, I am sure it was worth it. On New Years we had our friends Erica and Greg come up and my cousin Trent and his fiance Demetria came too. I don't think I have ever played apples to apples that long. This year had definantly been one to rememeber. I hope that 2009 will be just as fun!

Dad

2008-12-08T12:52:00.005-07:00

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

2008-11-19T23:02:00.004-07:00

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!

2008-10-26T18:25:00.002-06:00

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

2008-10-11T19:37:00.003-06:00

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

2008-10-07T05:12:00.002-06:00

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

2008-09-25T08:02:00.003-06:00

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?

2008-08-28T10:06:00.002-06:00

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!

2008-08-16T04:04:00.003-06:00

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

2008-06-22T20:19:00.002-06:00

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

2008-05-20T12:06:00.002-06:00

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.
