You wouldn't think it was too hard to sit my hiney down at the computer and update a blog once in a while but apparently it is lol. Life has been going great at the Murphy household. Jacob came home for good on February 18th and we have been LOVING having him here! A few of the highlights in the past few months have been: (Presented in no particular order)
1. Pinewood Derby! - Peter, Jake, my brother Jacob, and my dad all made cars to race. Jake and Jacob did a combined effort. Peter did the best out of them all and got 12th place overall out of 21. GO PETER!! Jake & Jacob got 17th and Dad got 18th place. It was super fun! The primary president made a car to race as well and it was a really great time. Dad was a master as the Pit Chief.
2. Peter worked SUPER hard and earned his tiger patch!! Since the church doesn't really recognize the tiger group as part of their charter it was all done unofficially but he was awarded his patch at a sweet presentation during the Blue and Gold Banquet.
3. Jake was trying to be a super brother-in-law and help my sister, Amber, practice driving. She drove his truck to the gas station with him in the passengers seat. As she was turning into the pump, she panicked and hit the gas instead of the break and plowed right into the cement barrier by the gas pump. Poor Jake! His truck got a nice smash to the front corner. :( We found a place in town to work on it and they say it should be done next week sometime.
4. Alice hasn't really had anything big going on the past few months. She is growing up SO fast I can't believe it. She still enjoys Monster High and reading is her life. She loves being a big sister and got Enoch dressed today! She is such an awesome person.
5. Enoch is growing like a weed! He got his shots a few weeks ago and ended up getting a fever of 101 with them. Poor kid! He was NOT happy about it. He also had a slight ear infection. Giving a baby medicine sure is a tricky feat! Luckily Jake and I are able to tag team it!
6. Jake is loving being a Daddy! He and Enoch have great times together while I go to work in the mornings. He is also now a master at giving baby baths! Enoch just loves his Daddy!
7. Jake has been helping the kids with their homework too. He just has a way with them that I don't have. Peter's spelling has increased greatly since Jake's been home.
8. Yesterday Peter got hurt outside and came in crying. Enoch saw his brother crying and it hurt him to see that and Enoch started crying too! He is such a sweet boy!! Just like his big brother.
9. I have mostly been taking care of kids and husband and working. I'm enjoying it at Ace still and LOVE what I do there. I have the best bosses in the world! I also have begun a few fun crochet projects. I've discovered my favorite yarn to use is "Vanna's Choice" it's super soft yet it stays together and doesn't unravel very much.
10. Jake and I have started the Insanity workout. It's CRAZY hard!! I'd probably give up if it was just me. I'm sure hoping to get ripped in 60 days. We've done it for 4 days now and I'm wondering if my stomach has gotten bigger not smaller?? Jake says it's just my body adjusting and moving things around. I sure hope so! But if not at least at the end of it I will be more fit so I can work on other things. Right??
Well that's been about all from the Murphy clan lately. I'm so grateful to my family and especially my husband. He goes out and does all the hard work and the kids and I benefit from it. I am SO lucky to have him and SO spoiled to have him here for good now! Not sure what I did to deserve him but I'm sure glad I did whatever it was!
