First Day of School 09

Wow another first day of school, couldn't get everyones picture together. Trey had an 8:00 class so him and Dan were awake before KaeLee left for seminary at 6:45. Then Abbie let at 7:45. Crazy morning but you have to be proud. Lanie will have to upload her camera pictures before I can get her and Kyah on here. Lanie started her Soph year at BSU, Kyah is back to the same daycare as last year. She really cried when her momma dropped her off today but she will get better I hope. Dan & Trey are Freshmen at CSI booked their classes on about the same schedule so they can ride together. KaeLee Rae is a freshman and Abbie a 7th grader at good old MHS!! So glad my kids have all had the opportunity to go to such an awesome school!! I am so thankful knowing they are safe, loved, and watched out for even away from home!

Now I just have to find something to fill my days!

My baby girl Abbie 7th grader!~
She was so proud!

Summer Fun!

I have to say that in Ron & I's married life I don't know if we have ever had as much fun as this summer with our family at the lake with the boat we have we lovingly named "FETCH"! We have been at the lake a lot with our kids, future inlaws, bonus children and even got to take Eusevio and Gloria and their family out. Eusevio has worked with Ron on the farm for nearly 20 years and is like family to us. We had so much fun watching their kids and beautiful granddaughter play out there. Eusevio and his boys help our little farm run smoothly and we appreciate him for that.

The view from my backdoor! To some of you that may not mean much, to me that is my life, harvest, beets, wheat & beans. There is nothing better than the farm life! I choke up every year seeing our equipment headed down the road in the little Hepworth Convoy!

Oh my this is our recent life in pictures! It has been a crazy, confusing, busy, proud, and triumphant time! Can't be prouder or happier of my family. They have truly astounded me in their accomplishments and victories. I am truly one of the luckiest woman in the world, I am married to my best friend and Heavenly Father has surrounded me with my wonderful kids biological and otherwise who are amazing to me and most certainly last but not least the faith that all of the things we go through are for a purpose and we will understand them at some point. I am so thankful to all of my family and friends who have stood beside me in all of this.
