K-state Game

Last Saturday, we dropped Ellie off at Grandma and Grandpa Crisler's house and headed to Manhattan for Molly's 1st K-state Football game! Molly has become a big "Go Wildcat" fan, thanks to her dad's brainwashing! She was so excited to put on her new purple shirt, purple/white hair bow and Powercat face tattoo. As we pulled into town, Molly pointed out every "Go Wildcat" (which is what she calls powercats) that she saw. Well it is Manhattan, so you can guess how many times she said this! Lol! We showed her where Ben and Gracie go to school and I think Joe told her that is where she will be going to school too!



We meet up with the Hucks, Ken Woods and Aunt Gracie for lunch in Aggieville. Joe went to get the tailgate ready (unloading the grill, unfolding a lawn chair and cracking open a cold one) and Molly and I headed to Gracie's house so Molly could meet Gracie's feathered roommate. Gracie bought a green parrot named Jude. Molly likes him, but said he is too loud. You know how Molly is with loud noises! We drove over to the tailgate and meet up with the Hucks, Girks, and some other friends. Molly had told me that Ellie and the other babies couldn't come because they weren't a "big kid" like her. We cooked some hamburgers and brats and then headed into the game. Molly was really interested in watching Willie the Wildcat and the cheerleaders.

Molly was a big fan of Suzie (Girk)!

Molly standing in Ben's "K-state Van". Our friends owned this van when we were in school and it has been passed down to friends/siblings ever since. Maybe Molly will have it one of these days, haha! Notice "Murphy" to her left on the wall, that was Joe back in the day.

Getting a little droopy.

Our little cheerleader. She stood and cheered alot!


Getting silly and tired of my camera! It was a long day and so many photo ops. Can't wait to go back to another game!

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...
