Oklahoma City Day #1

We took a 3 day trip down to Oklahoma City with the girls. This is our first trip together as a family and it went great! The girls travelled so good and really enjoyed everything we did.
We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Bricktown. The hotel was really nice! Great location to restaurants, the baseball game, etc.

We took a water boat ride that went through Bricktown.

We went to the Redhawk minor league baseball game Friday night. The ball park was right behind our hotel. Molly stood at our hotel window and watch the ballgame Saturday night too! The girls were really entertained by the ballgame.

If you notice Ellie's face there is a little bit of blue cotton candy. Molly and I LOVE cotton candy! Molly likes the pink and I like the blue! Lol! Ellie makes a face when she eats anything new so who knows if she likes it or not! Ellie got so tired at the game, but she was a trooper. She just hung out on Dad's lap!

Molly wanted popcorn and pop, believe it or not! It was so hot and humid out there Friday night! Right after we got back to our hotel (we didn't make it the entire game!) we looked outside and it was pouring rain. Both nights it rained right after we got back to our room.



Ellie was so excited! The soft bed was hard for her to set up on, she kept falling over!

All cleaned up after the ballgame! The girls took their first bath together.



Sorry this pic got in here twice and I haven't figure out how to get it off yet!

Aw Ellie is such a cute baby. My mom is getting married and she is hoping for another baby. I just hope my new sibling is as cute as your kids.

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

  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...
