Madelyn's Big Accomplishment

Happy Days in the Murphy House tonight Maddi learned to ride her bike without training wheels, she worked on it at the end of the summer last year and her and dad worked on it tonight and she got it down. She is so proud of herself. She said but mom "what if I fall down"? I said that is all part of the learn process you pick yourself up and try again. Good advise that we forget about. I think our mom's thought us that. Anyways, my baby is growing up. We are proud of her.

My Master Piece

Well, here is my first Mock Angel Food cake and I decorated it. For those of you who REALLY know me know that I have this great passion for COOKING. I don't have a lot of time to spend on it as I would like but every once in a while I can sqeeze sometime in to make something special for my family. Well, 6 am this morning I was in the kitchen making a cake before Church. I am not much of a decorator but I did manage to make this 4 leaf clover look like something. With a little more practice I just might be able to make a few of these around birthday times. I was really blessed this morning also because the cake actually tastes good!!! Move over RACHEL RAY! No but I was pretty excited and danced around the house.

Circus Time

Hi! Well crazy weekend around here. Friday in MN was another cold and snowy day. Snow...... I am not sure what is going on this year but Winter will not go away. Next subject..... So Saturday we headed to Sioux Falls as a family and went to the Shine Circus, first time. The girls just loved it and so did I. My mom (Nana) and Darryl (Bapa) suprised the girls and came to spend the day together. We had a wonderful time. Everyone loved the Elephants so much that they rode one with Bapa sure am glad that Bapa was the winner on that one. Not my style. So we also went to Red Lobster for a early celebration on Jay's birthday, starting the birthday week. We were able to get some shopping it also.... Bless Jay's sole.... we left at 7 am and pulled in the driveway at 8:30 pm. He even came home with us so that was good. We sure did enjoy our weekend. Can't believe that Monday is right around the corner again.....

Fun time with Grandparents

Grandpa Jerry and Donna came over last night for supper and fun. We enjoyed good food and the girls enjoyed playing with they after supper. They stayed very busy and I think everyone was tired at the end of the night. I think the pictures tell all.

Did you say Spring??????

Well, as the look of the pictures you guessed it in another snow storm. Not sure if we are having Spring or Winter. Can't make it's mind up. Trying to stay positive and look at the bright side, well white side. I am getting somethings done in the house so that is good. I have sometime off which is well deserved. I am off until Monday so that is great. Wanted to share the storm. Better get back to decorating, Jay is hanging the new blind in the bathroom and then I can put up my new pictures and the bathroom will be done and off to decorate the kitchen.
