WOW!

Some fun pictures I recently scanned from our wedding March 24, 1989

Me and my sisters about 1975?

My daddy!

I don't even know where to start. If I would just keep up with this, life would be much easier. All is well here, relatively speaking. Other than random hard to pronounce diseases :) I swear my kids are all lemons, but what do you do....make sweet lemonade right?! We've had multiple blood tests, MRI's, CAT scan's, Ultrasounds, and Xrays out the wazoo. EVERY child has had some medical issue....currently aside from KaeLee's whose unfortunately is a life long issue we are dealing with Abbie's non functioning gall bladder. But, I wouldn't trade any of it..other than seeing my kids in pain, it has made them into the most amazing people. We are currently following Halie in District tournaments, waiting for a Blue Devil victory tonight then following them to Boise for State. Dan is doing great at CSI, loves it a lot, is taking a taping and training course, we have all been subjected to tapings for ankles, shin splints, and the current is "turf toe". Delanie and Izaak are having a ball, they were honored for their leadership scholarship and being on the Deans List. They make us very proud. Izaak watches Kyah while Lanie is tutoring in Math. Kyah of course is the light of our lives, she never ceases to surprise us. She has a great fashion sense, loves spinny dresses and hangy earrings! KaeLee is doing well, made it through the basketball season and is on track to graduate a year early, with a lot of hard work. She is also earning her Young Womens Recognition award this Sunday! We are so proud. Abbie is growing like a weed, she has been sick for a month and being the "mother of the year" that I am , I told her to suck it up. Attributed it to back pain, being a girl.....but no its her gall bladder. We are currently in the middle of getting it taken care of. Ron & I have had the winter of a lifetime. We have been together nearly every day all day long. It is awesome being married to your best friend. Now if only we survive the weddings........

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!

She loves him!! My crazy KaeLee a big freshman at MHS!!

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!

As you can see we have quite an assortment of stuff going on...ALL the time. Life is great, certainly not easy, and we have had more than our share of ups and downs this summer, but family and close friends is what it is all about. With them you can do anything!
