Trying my new phone

So Jake and i got new phones and I figured I'd try out the blogger app.

Kids took this picture for their mom for mothers day

Updates!

We've had some fun the past few weeks!

Alice made it into the district science fair. She didn't place in the top 5 but we are SO proud of her efforts! She tested on the power of positive thinking and how it worked for or against physical strength.

 Enoch participated in the Easter Egg hunt put on by the city. He really enjoyed himself and loved the candy afterwords! Alice and Peter were with their dad but I bet they had a fun Easter time too!

 We go bees at our house now! Here's Peter and Jake helping my dad put them in their new hive homes. It's been really fun to watch them. Peter was really good too when one would land on him.

The kids got a rock polisher for Easter and on the last day when we finally were able to get them out, Jake and Peter dressed for the weather and bravely cleaned off the polished rocks.

Today Enoch has been acting silly. He did this all on his own. Such a silly boy!

And here's Jake just kinda being himself lol.

Updates

So I created a Black Friday e-mail for my work and I got the kids to model some cute animal hats for me. They had a blast. Alice said, "I've always wanted to be a model!" I got a lot of great comments about them too :)

Today we went to the Spiral Jetty. None of us had ever been there before but I think we chose a really great day to do it. It was SO pretty!

And P.S. Jake was never in Mexico lol.

Scary Things

So we walk the kids down to the bus stop every day and love to take Enoch with us. He enjoys the walk but we have discovered a few things he is really afraid of. One is when we throw big rocks into the canal down there. He is not a big fan if the big splash. Even though he does it in the tub all the time lol. The other thing that scares him is the school bus and the fact that Alice and Peter run towards it. On the first day he reached out his hand screaming as they ran off. As if to say "DON'T GET ON THE BUS!!" Jake and I had to console him. He's really excited to see them get off in the afternoons. So every day the bus stop is an adventure.

Yay Mobile!

I just got the Blogger app for my phone! Super cool!

There has been a lot going on with the Murphy Faction since I last posted.

Peter got baptized on August 8th. He was so excited! Jake did the baptizing and he did a super awesome job!

In the end of July we took a trip down south to Georgia and Alabama to pick up Alice and Peter from their dads. Enoch was not too bad for the drive down but he had a hard enough time that he and I flew back. He was a good baby on the plane and slept most of the time. We stayed and played with Warren and Micah and really had a blasty blast! Thanks a million you guys! I meant to send a card but didn't ever sit down and do it. But hey it's the thought that counts, right?

A couple of weeks ago I noticed Enoch had his first little baby tooth come in! We are now dealing with cranky Enoch as he gets in another one. That's no fun but I'm happy for the baby food stage to be over.

Last week was the Box Elder county fair. We all entered stuff in and all got at least one blue ribbon. Which was really fun. The best part I think was Peter got a "big blue" (sweepstakes) ribbon for a petunia he entered. He has always wanted a big blue ribbon and was so excited he almost cried when he saw it. It was really fun. I'm already working on something for next year.

Well that's about it for us. School started for Jake today and for Alice and Peter tomorrow. Lots of fun going on!

Figured it out!

I figured out why I have such a hard time blogging! It's all about the pictures. I somehow just want to put pictures up but don't have the time to upload them so the blogging gets pushed to the side. Well not today! No pics just news lol. On May 24th my brother Jacob got married to Karleigh! I'm pretty excited for that. It was a fun day and we had SUPER good cake leftovers. The end of May we went down to LaVerkin to spend time with Jake's family. It was lots of fun! We got to play Wii Fit, went swimming and I learned a new card game. The day after we got back from Southern Utah Jake had to go up to Idaho for his 2 week national guard training. It has been SUPER hard because I don't get to hear from him very often. Then on June 7th Dad and Amber went to join Mom in Canada and then on the 9th Alice and Peter left for Alabama for 6 weeks. So this week little Enoch and I are here all by ourselves. It's not very fun to be alone. I know I have Enoch but let's face it; he's 7 months old. I'm practically babysitting a puppy. This little puppy by the way has learned how to crawl and pull himself up on things. He knows exactly what he wants to play with and most of the time it's not his toys. I blame Jake. He kept saying, "I can't wait for him to start crawling so he can somewhat entertain himself more" well now he does and it's hard work! I caught him getting into a plant today and had to discipline him. He was pretty shocked that he got into trouble. Here's a few of the reasons I hate being home alone: ~ No one to talk to which makes it really hard when I find something super funny. ~ Food; I don't want to fix a big meal because it's just me so I end up eating small things and I'm hungry most of the time. ~ I ALWAYS get that creepy crawly feeling when I turn off a light behind me at night. ~ I usually end up killing a few of Dad and Mom's plants. I don't do it on purpose but it's inevetable. ~ I end up watching the Final Stanley Cup game alone. It was a really good game too. The New Jersey Devils got completely CREAMED by the Los Angeles Kings. Final score was 1-6. Yeah pretty sick. The King's were making goals in clusters too; it was pretty funny. In the first period they got 3 within a 2-3 minute period and then in the last period they got 2 within a 1 minute period. It was pretty awesome but no one to share it with makes it hard. I know I had more last night but now I can't remember them. Well I will now end on a happy note. Even though the previous stuff sounded kinda down. I'm pretty excited about my future. Jake will be coming home, I'm going to clean the kids room and then we all get to switch rooms (Thank you Jacob for getting married and moving out), plus I've got a plan for exercizing and eating right that I'm hoping will really help my energy level. And all of this WILL be accomplished in 6 weeks. GO TEAM MURPHY!!
