Evening Outside

We spent the evening outside last night. Joe's high school golf team had a tournament in Coldwater, so he didn't get home until late. I wanted to work in my flower beds some so Molly colored the sidewalk with chalk and Ellie sat in the stroller. Daisy cleaned Ellie's feet! Lol! Molly also rode her tricycle around the yard. I wish I would have had my camera when she got it high centered riding it into my flower bed. Those poor crape myrtle's, hope she didn't smash them!

Ellie didn't act like she felt good last night, but put up with being outside. But a few minutes in the swing did her in. She feel asleep while swinging! Shawn said she did this at daycare too.
Molly likes to climb up her swingset, but still won't go down the slide! So then she hollers from the landing until we go get her down. We need Hunter Huck to come visit more often, he helps her down. She still talks about how he got her down and carried her inside.

I took this picture last week when we were getting ready to go to my parents house for the weekend. Both girls in their PJ's watching cartoon's in my bed! Dora is a favorite at our house still!

Colorado Family Trip Day #1

Image
Well I haven't blogged in years, but have missed it so much!  Life is crazy and I want to be able to look back at all the fun we have had.  Last week, we headed to the mountains in Cuchara, CO.  We have vacationed with Joe's family to this tiny town since Molly was our only Murphy grandkid (now there are 8!). We left early Wednesday morning and we are beyond thankful that we have such great little travelers!  We made it 4 hours with NO stops.  That's amazing for all of us! Everyone beat us out there.  So we had a warm welcome from Doug, Ben & Tracy (Parker -3 and Evie 1) and Grandma Candy and Papa Tom. The cabin has a giant deck that we spend most of our time on.  There is nothing better than a cup of coffee in the morning out in the cool mountain air. Evie is now walking everywhere and smiles all the time.  It took some warming up to us, but we all won her over (until her parents were around, then she wanted them)....

Family Fun Night

Image
  The other night the girls planned a Family Fun night for us!  We played air hockey (I won!), sang karaoke and watched some shows.  I asked the girls what they wanted to eat at the Family Fun night.  They said Hot Wings!   Lol.  Our neighbors (Dale Family Farms) sells their beef, pork and chicken from their shop at the farm.  It's so convenient to run down the road and get some wings.  Joe seasons them up with some olive oil and seasoning salt.  Grills them and dips them a few times in a mixture of Frank's Wing Sauce and butter.   I finish them under the broiler to crisp up the skin.  The wings we get at DFF are big and meaty!   I roasted some potatoes and cut up some fruit to go with our hot wings.  I should say that they are not too spicy at all.  It's always fun to eat downstairs since I'm a stickler for only eating at the dining room table or at the bar! It is fun that the girls still enjoy our company! I know th...
