Happy Birthday Molly Jo!

4 years ago today Molly Jo Murphy was born, 7lb 8oz!  The time has flown by and she has grown into such a fun and beautiful little girl!  She was so excited for her birthday and told me today that is is "cool" to be 4!

We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast!

I decorated the table last night after Molly went to bed.  So we are all ready for her "friends" party tonight.  She got to invite a few friend to come out tonight for pizza, brownies and Kool-Aid.  She picked the menu!


I filled 5 dz water balloons for the girls to throw tonight.  Molly tried one out this morning off the back deck!  :-)  Thought about throwing one into Joe while he was showering, but know that paybacks are hell!  lol


Birthday Girl!
Party at breakfast! 

Molly got to open her presents from us.  She got a MP3 player, the birthday outfit and book for her American Girl doll "Molly", a new swim suit, a new apron and a giant bubble blower.  Jesse and Megan sent presents for her to open also!  She got the Princess and the Frog movie and took that with her to daycare to watch.  Hope they don't mind!  Lol  We also took a pan of brownies to daycare to share with her friends!


Ellie is a Grouchy Bear in the mornings!  It takes her awhile to wake up and it doesn't help that we woke her up so she could watch Molly open presents.  She loves the balloons I put out last night and will be attacking them tonight I am sure!  More birthday pictures to come after the party tonight!  We are having a family cookout for her birthday on Saturday too!

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...
