Evening Fun

The girls just caught me as cute and funny last night.  So I had to chase them around with the camera.  Maybe it was Ellie cute "sprout" with a pink bow or Molly's silly faces. 

Joe and Molly put together our new patio furniture last night.  When I went into the garage this morning, it looked like we had had a party out there last night.  Eight chairs and a table were spread out everywhere.  No party, they just haven't made their way to the back deck yet. 

We did have a little guest in our garage the other night.  Joe brought a sad, sick little calf in to spend the night.  Her momma rejected her and by the time the guys found her she wasn't doing well and didn't make it through the night.  I told Joe he can't bring the terminally ill calves home, I just can't take it.  Breaks my heart!!!

Ellie watching outside.  Don't mind all the handprints, it is a never ending battle.  I give up!

Doesn't Ellie look like Gracie here?  Gracie I don't mean you have a pink hair bow, hot pink beads or a pudgy belly over elastic waist band pants.  I mean in that sweet little face, sometime I see you!  It's a good thing!  :-)

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...
