This and That

I unloaded my camera and phone of pictures.  So this is a little bit of this and that from the week.

Yaaawwwnnn!  It is tough being Mickey Mouse the Golden Retriever.  She puts up with her little human girlfriends so well. 

The girls played with the tutu's Aunt Gracie made for them last year.
Look it's a K-state fairy!  Actually I really really want Gracie to make the girls K-state Tutu's.  I saw one at at store that had purple, silver and white tulle with K-state ribbon on it.  Wouldn't that be cute at a tailgate and football game?  Hint Hint, Gracie!  You just send me the bill!  :-)

Ellie spinning with Molly's fuzzy house slippers on.  You can't tell here, but they are size 12's and Ellie wears a 7.  They are too funny!

When Ellie is too quiet, this is the kind of stuff you find!  Molly and I were talking in the living room and Ellie had disappeared.  She was eating all the potty training bribery, Hershey's Kisses!  Those are wrappers on the floor, by the way!  She has her mommas sweet tooth!

Saturday was so nice out!  Molly got to go play at Reece's house, so I took them out to play before she left.  I kinda got tired of hearing "Is it time to go to Reece's yet?"  Ellie wanted to "drive", so she sat in the driver's seat and Molly steered and pushed the gas!

 We even went down on the road!  Brave!  It will be so nice to walk with them in the Gator instead of pulling them in the wagon.  Shortly after I took this picture, we headed up the driveway and the battery died!  Talk about a workout, pushing that thing up the hill about did me in!  Lol  Joe said there is a bigger battery we can get, that might be good since Molly is ready to drive the 1/2 mile down the road to Aunt Sally's house. 

TGIF!  Sure we will have all sorts of fun pictures after our weekend at home.  It will be nice to all be home together and do nothing.  Ok, we are doing nothing and Joe is cutting firewood.

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...
