Brynlee Bear

Miss Brynlee turned 1 on Nov. 30.  How is that possible?  She turned 1 and now walks really well, says more words and has all sorts of new tricks.  Right now she can say Dada, Mama, Papa, Hi, Bye Bye, NiNi (night night), KiKi (kitty) and she calls Daisy "Da". She has not come up with names for 3 of her favorite people yet, Molly, Ellie and Grandma. 

Brynlee's birthday was low key.  She opened some presents.  We went to a new restaurant in Bucklin for dinner.

Yummmm, cinnamon rolls!

We have been working on using a spoon


She wasn't too excited to pose with her sisters, but they sure were!

Her babysitter Chelsea got her this shirt that says "Silent Night...I don't think so!"  So perfect for this little bedtime party animal.  She has actually started sleeping really well again.  I think it is because that new tooth (3rd tooth!) finally came in!

Brynlee likes to kiss.  Big, slobbery, open mouthed kisses!

Brynlee is walking everywhere.  She still falls down a lot but she doesn't care!
Dressed so sweet for church

Practicing her yoga moves!  Downward Dog.  lol

This little lady is the light of our lives right now.She is beyond thrilled to see us and adores her big sisters.  They can make her laugh and laugh.  She may not say much but she gets her point across and runs the show around our house.  Thankfully she is sleeping better.  Next for Brynlee is weaning from nursing and the paci.  Oh that is another one of her words...every time I put her in her car seat she says "pa pa pa pa".  Which is Paci!  Time to get rid of it!  So hard with her being my baby!  Love her to pieces!

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...
