Good Little Buddies!

Jessica and Kaleb are two little peas in a pod. They absolutely love eachother and play so cute together. Kaleb idolizes his big sister and tries to everything she does. And Jessica is so good to let him tag along with all that she does. Jess & I are so blessed to have such two little sweethearts. We love you both so much!!!

We Miss Jordan!!!

Jordan is our babysitter we've had come over the last two summers. But we're always so sad when she has to go back to school. In July she went to Costa Rica on a humanitian project

to work in the orphanages. She brought home Jessi these shoes and she has to wear

them every day. She calls them her "Costa Rica Shoes".

Thanks for everything Jordan...We really do miss you and hope school is going great!!!

St. George with the Clark's

We made a trip with the Clark Family to sunny St. George. And yes it was sunny in August. But we had a great time. You can never get too much of relaxing around the pool. Thanks Andrew & Megan and family for comin' along.Morgan, Stella, Jessi, and Drew Playing in the Fountains by the tabernacle after eating at "25 & Main"

Mercedes Ride

Megan took the kids for their favorite ride around the circle in Pappy's old classic car.

They love to pretend they are in a parade and wave at everyone as they drive by.

Pappy has done this for a long time with the grandkids, and my Papa used to do it with me

and my siblings when we were young. Megan, Jacob, Jessica, Maxwell, Jonah, Kate, and Savannah

BBQ at the Owen's Cabin- August 2009

Steve & Jane and their family invited us Murphy's up to their cabin for the first annual Owen/Murphy Family Day at the Cabin. It was soooo beautiful. I don't know if the kids had more fun on the rope swing, in pixyland getting prizes, boating on the lake, playing horse shoes, petting horses, singing around the campfire, or eating all the yummy food. The Owen's have worked so hard and have made this place so amazing. Thanks Steve & Jane for such a wonderful afternoon and evening. We can't wait to go back.

Jacob fell in the mud and needed a hose down.

Needless to say...he was not too happy about it.

Freedom Festival Soccor Tourney

Jess & his buddies from high school played in the Freedom Festival Soccor Tournament this year. He had a great time playing together with them, but they all had a reality check of feeling old and out of shape! Good times though.Win or Lose...she's always by her Daddy's side.

Playing with Cousin's & Friends

Jacob & Stella came to play for a little bit and had so much fun playing on the hammock, that that's where they stayed almost the whole time. Well that and a little Disney Channel. Such little cuties. We so glad our kids have such great and wonderful cousins and friends to play with.

Andrus Family Reunion in Lava Hot Springs, ID

Happy Birthday Kaleb & Sage!Ok, so don't ask me how I got myself into this but Uncle Ken told me that "tomorrow we have a great tradition of playing the Great Mousecapades". The next day, reunion day, he some how framed me as the poster child of these great mousecapades & gets me a stick and leads me & all the other participants up to the sheep feeder troughs. The men then proceeded to tip over the feeder boxes where tons and tons of mice squirmed and ran all over the place while we had to kill them with our sticks to keep them from eating & destroying the feeder boxes. Holy freakin' cow-you can only imagine the feelings I had! :-) However, much to Ken's and my surprise I went at it. It was either kill or have them crawling up my legs. So i had a total of 9 under my belt. Even though Fusser had like 100, I was still quite proud of myself. Thanks Ken for the fun! Something I definately won't forget, but will probably never do again! Ha.
The Barn

Jess' Uncle Ken-the ring leader!
All the Mousketeers!Kaleb & GrandpaI did all the little girls hair for the day and then comes along the most coolest mother-in-law ever (mine), Louise and lets me work my crazy magic on her hair. She gave me permission to do cute or crazy so I went with crazy and gave her the spikes for the day. Needless to say...she probably won't ask me to ever do her hair again! What a good sport! Love ya Louise!

Sidewalk chalkin'

Kaleb finally went through so many changes of clothes we finally just left him with no clothes.

Yo Cuz!
