Gymnastics

Molly AND Ellie had their gymnastics performance a few weeks ago.  I LOVE going to these things, but I have to admit I was nervous this time!!!  This was Ellie's first performance.  I was so afraid she would get out there and take one look up at the crowd and run out of the gym.  She gets so bashful sometimes it breaks my heart. This class has been so good for her.  She marched right out there with a confidence I have never seen and then she asked to do the routine again!  Lol

Look at that sweet little face

Gma Candy, Papa Tom and Papa Merle came to watch them and they really enjoyed showing them their moves.  Not that Gma and Papa haven't seen tons of cartwheels and somersaults in their living room by the girls.  There is just something about Grandma's house...it's like their stage!  It will be easier to get the girls to gymnastics now that they are going to daycare in Coldwater.  After a few weeks at our new daycare, I think the girls are getting settled in.  Ellie still has a hard time in the mornings.  She wants to stay home and sometimes cries when I leave, but that will get better!  It is so hard having them over here in Coldwater.  I just want to leave and go get them all the time!!!  Change like this is so hard for all of us!  I trust they are in good hands though!  :-)

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...
