Play Date

Friday morning we got together with Suzie Girk and Eli, Jen and Carter and our girls for a play date at our house.  Suzie and Slade live in KC so we don't get to see them very often.  We hope they move down here one of these days, they would fit in perfect!  Eli is 15 months old and his baby brother is due in March.  Molly had her hands full with all of these little ones!  We need a little boy in the mix, these girls didn't know what to think about his rough playing and "love pats", lol!  What a sweet and smart little boy!  His vocabulary is great and he kept signing please and thank you, I would have given him anything he wanted!

By the way, Molly has decided she wants a baby brother.  She informed our friends of that Saturday night at our get together.  She said we could name him Parker (our friend has a Parker).  I asked her where she wanted me to get this baby brother.  She said I could pick one up at the doctor when I took Ellie for her 1 year checkup.  Wish it was that easy!  Then Sunday at Sunday School she told her teacher "Miss Laura" that she wanted a baby brother.  This is really going to start rumors!  Not that I don't want a baby brother one of these days, just not right now.  I need Ellie to walk first!


Things were getting kinda sad the closer to lunch we got, so Ritz crackers were enjoyed by all!  I know what was going through my girls heads..."she is actually letting us eat on the carpet???"  Lol, the sweeper came out when everyone left.


Molly and Eli hanging out by the fireplace.  He really, really liked Molly.  She made him laugh.  She is such a good big sister/friend!



Carter somehow puts the entire cracker in her mouth (in one piece).  This picture doesn't show how funny it is.

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...
