Meet the Newest Member of the Family

Meet Sadie! The the newest member of the Jepson family! We have been looking for the perfect dog for our family for a long time and we have found her! Sadie is a purebred miniture Sheltie (Just like our perfect dog, Amber, of my childhood!). Sadie is absolutely WONDERFUL with the kids, VERY sweet, VERY smart, and a whole lot of fun! We are so blessed to have her as the newest member of our family! We all adore her, especially Kara and Trevor who giggle and squeel as they play with her. Sadie seems to love it too - all the attention she is getting! She is now about 8 months old. She came to us March 4th, the same day as Dad's surgery. So whenever any of you come visit us, you will get to meet her! She's tons of fun!

Bryce Canyon Trip

March 27, 2008. Kara, Trevor and friend Rebekah all pose for a picture at Bryce Canyon in Southern Utah. Thank you Kristin, John and Rebekah for making the drive from WA to stay with us for a week! We loved spending time with you and traveling through Southern Utah! Despite the "up's and down's" we had (literally!) with the kids, we had a blast! What a memorable trip! We will be telling the stories for a long time to come . . .hee, hee!! We hope you will come again as soon as you can! We love you!

Auntie Colleen with Kara and Trevor

We loved having Auntie Colleen come and stay with us in March! All when want to know is . . .when is she coming back!!?? We miss you already Auntie Colleen! Kara (age 3, on her birthday) Trevor (almost 15 months).

Happy 3rd Birthday Kara

Kara had a fun day for her 3rd birthday! (March 12, 2008) Mommy took her and her friends to Jumpin Jacks in Springville, Utah. Trevor stayed home with a babysitter (thank you Kisha!) so we had lots of Mommy-Daughter bonding! Kara love it and was not timid about the huge slides that even her mommy was not so sure about! On this slide we got some serious air! She is very independent and went from one jumping castle, to the next all on her own schedule without a backward glance at mommy! She loves to jump and boy did she get her fill on her birhday! After the jumping fun we returned to our house for cake and ice cream with her friends. Two days later, on Friday night, we had a family party complete with Aunt Julie and Auntie Colleen from WA! Thank you all for coming! Kara has been officially spoiled!~ Mommy and Grandma Stout made Kara a Butterfly cake for the get together. Kara ate the oreo cookie's first! That's my girl! I can't believe my baby girl is THREE!
