Exciting News (Something new, Pink, and coming soon)

We are so excited to announce that we are having a baby girl.  She will be joining our family in Nov.  so we already know what our side dish is going to be for Thanksgiving dinner haha.  We are really excited for this little girl to join our family and look forward to being her parents. 

We went to the doctor last thurs.  I was almost 18 weeks, the doctor did just a general ultrasound that isn't the high tech version.  We were able to still see that we were indeed having a girl though.  I think we both were a little in shock, mostly realizing that there still was a kid inside and that she was growing and gonna be our responsibility the rest of our lives.  We went and got some pink and blue balloons to do a little gender reveal video to send to our families.   I would post the video but its not saved to this computer.  Anyway there ya have it Baby Hepworth is healthy so far and we quite love her already.

Fathers Day

This fathers day weekend I was reminded of two fellas in my life and what they mean to me.  I think every little girl and big girl dreams of marrying a man that is like or similar to there father.    I am lucky enough to have the best father.   I'm also very lucky that I have a husband that is perfect and my kids will be very lucky to have him.   I was reminded on Sat. of a certain quality that both of them have that is such an example to me of selfless love.   (A little story)   Ever since we've moved into this new ward Daniel has tried to make it to every person that has moved outs house to help.  He's never been asked but if he hears word or sees a u haul he steps up.  He heard about a neighbor moving out various times and every time he went there was no sign of moving, but yet he still dropped everything to make sure.   This past Sat. we got home from a day in WVC, we were exhausted,  I was in a really bad mood and know I needed to start dinner.   He sees that theirs a u haul at there house at 7 at night (who moves at that time) he makes sure I'm okay and asks if he can go and help.  I tell him yes even though the whole time he's gone I'm just furious thinking this is not his job to always drop everything,  dinners gonna be cold, why can't he just spend some time with me.  (selfish I know)  Then I'm finally coming to my senses and think you know what it's okay.  Then of course he comes back and says I'm gonna follow them to there new place and help them move some stuff, I'm the only one helping them so I feel like I should.  (Are you kidding me, but yes dear you can go).   After he left I had this major moment where I was reminded of the selfless love that my sweet Daniel has.  I thought about all the sacrifices he makes for me and for others.   There has been so many times when he's asked to go with the missionaries, give someone a blessing, or just move like on Sat. with no time to even think.  When I came to this conclusion about Daniel I also was reminded that my father is the exact same way.  Just that day here we are for a dinner to celebrate him and he's no where to be found because he's serving my brother by making sure he had things he needed for his house.   I remember countless times growing up when my dad would drop what he was doing to serve a neighbor.   He borrowed tools (sometimes without a return ) to neighbors, he would give of his time to countless boys in the ward that didn't have amazing role model dads, he'd give blessings in non priesthood homes, he'd use his time off to go on all scout camps, he'd drop anything to run to the store for my mom, mowing a neighbors very long lawn, and just last week giving up a sat. to drive to Provo to help us with our car problems.    I'm so grateful for these two men in my life.  I mean how could you not love such amazing service minded men.  I know these two would never tell people the things they do, but I feel a little recognition is needed this Fathers Day.   I hope all fathers and some day fathers had a great day.
