Lazy Weekend

We all hung out and had a lazy weekend. It was cold outside, so we cooked lots and played inside. Good thing I was in the mood to cook...I started off making Candy's BBQ meatballs, when I preheated the oven smoke was rolling out of the oven, so I decided I would save those for Sunday and figure out why the oven was smoking later. Lol, So I tried a new chicken chili recipe and it was great! We also made Rice Crispy cookies. I found Ellie doesn't like marshmallows, but loved the finished product! The girls played so well together, I got lots done. Joe ended up cooking the meatballs on the grill last night (since the oven is still smoking!).

Ellie must be going through a growth spurt! She is sleeping lots and eating LOTS! She has eaten most of a grilled cheese sandwich twice this weekend, a meatball ( they are big!), and (Megan, close your eyes!) some chicken fry and mashed potatoes. She loved it all!

Molly, Grandma Candy, and I went to the high school musical of Grease Friday night! It was a dinner theater, so we ate a "diner" themed meal of hamburger, fries and a Coke (in a glass bottle!) with banana splits for dessert! Molly thought the singing and dancing was pretty cool! She knew some of the high school girls so that was even cooler! Ellie stayed home with Dad and that was fine with both of them.

Ellie is a maniac on the stairs. She is a stinker about it too. She waits until you are looking and boogies up the stairs until I catch her and then she laughs. Lol!

I think she was trying to escape out the walkout basement. One of these days I am sure that will happen, but not until high school please! :-)

Silly, silly girl! She is just so excited about Don's chicken fry and potatoes. Megan, again close your eyes and remember where I live. Chicken Fry's are completely normal out here and they are SO good! Lol!

Here friends and family is the crazy rash I have been talking about. Poor Ellie, you little ragamuffin

Cheese!

Oh my goodness Ellie is a little Ham bone, she is too cute!!! About the rash, my boys went through a batch of that around Ellies age and I remember we got a cream for it, but thats all I remember, did the doctor give you anything to put on it? I think my boys had it a few weeks and it went away!

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...
