<br />
First of all, about 6 months ago I deleted the email account I originally set this account up with and didn't realize it would change ALL of my admin abilities. Thankfully I had setup my new email account as a user and have been able to post from it, I just haven't been able to change any setting or APPROVE comments. I would recieve the comments to my email but couldn't approve and post them so no, I haven't been ignoring anyone. I've really felt like my hands have been tied.<br />
<br />
I've thought about not blogging at all. I've thought about going private (an option not available because of my whole admin issue). For now I thought it was best to create a new blog and be able to update pictures and take control back. <br />
<br />
So join me on my new blog:)<br />

I realize with 4 kids that birthdays seem to swing around real fast and that I'm a little less excited then I used to be to have a party.<br />
<br />
We decided that the girls LOVE an audience but that they didn't need all the parents for their party so we sent them off and let the girls soak up all the attention of their cousins.<br />
<br />
They had a lot of confused gazes but loved the attention, cake, and gifts!!!<br />

<br />
-bannock city...AWESOME!!!<br />
-the town we were staying in on our first night was on lock down because of a shooter in town. We couldn't get to our hotel because GPS wanted us to drive right into the middle of the part of town shut down from the said shooter.<br />
-finally after driving around and around we arrived at our hotel only to find out that their waterslide was closed for repairs. <br />
-decided we HAD to have a hotel with a pool we drove around again and finally found a place to stay.<br />
-woke up and swam while Chris worked.<br />
-left my camera at the hotel....no more pictures. <br />

<br />
-loved these flotation devices for the girls.<br />
-left Butte and went to Bozeman. <br />
-decided we'd have to settle for staying at the Ramada because they had a waterslide and we promised the kids.<br />
-happily suprised that the Ramada had a family suite and had recently been renovated.<br />
-Chris worked, kids and I swam. Boys loved the slide. The girls loved swimming.<br />
-met another family with twins girls only a few months older then our girls. All the kids hung out.<br />
-there isn't any good eating places in bozeman. After driving around for an hour ended up at McDonalds...yuck!<br />
-next morning was more swimming while Chris worked. <br />
-headed to Driggs to a condo we rented.<br />
-long drive...yucky weather...stop for ice cream....blowout....changing diaper on the side of the road using snow to help clean up the mess<br />
-arrive in Driggs at our condo. Relieved to finally have 2 bedrooms...beautiful condo up the mountains.<br />
-bedtime. Another terrible night of sleep by the girls<br />
-next morning plan to head to Jackson Hole to go swimming a their indoor waterpark. Closed for repairs...hmmm... bad luck<br />
-while Chris works in Jackson the kids and I head to the candy story. Little hands everywhere.<br />
-go to the park while it's pouring rain.<br />
-pick up Chris and go back to Driggs.<br />
-Chris works, kids and I play at the park.<br />
-the boys LOVE watching TV since we only have netflix at home. They don't want to go anywhere.<br />
-next day owe the kids a swimming day. Go to green canyon.<br />
-more TV...boys are addicted.<br />
-Saturday morning head home while listening to conference.<br />
-Two VERY tired parents from twins sleeping terribly the entire trip.<br />
-would we repeat...NOPE!!!! Definately need to enjoy a warm vacation next spring break:):):)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526863130508001815.post-55850883692492751962013-04-17T14:17:00.000-07:002013-04-17T18:25:26.183-07:00Bannack CityChris has only been working his new job for a couple of months so we didn't feel like taking off a bunch of time for Spring Break would be a good idea. We decided to follow him around for most of Spring Break.<br />
<br />
Chris covers most of Montana, Wyoming, and some of Idaho. On the first couple of days we travelled with him into Montana and one of the stops I insisted we make was at Bannack City. <br />
<br />
I've wanted to visit Bannack City for a long time but knew that I wouldn't be able to interest anyone in going with me on a day trip. This was a perfect opportunity because we were ultimately going to a location the kids wanted to go and this happened to be on the way.<br />
<br />
Bannack City is a ghost town in Montana that was deserted after the gold rush ended. Unfortunately we had to cut our visit short because Chris had a conference call and we were in a dead zone. If I had more time I would have read the story of each home and business because the history was so cool.<br />

The boys and I explored a bunch of the old houses. They were all so small and most of them were in really poor condition. You could see remnants of wall paper, carpets, and some had a few old pieces of furniture. <br />

This building is the outside of the school house. Upstairs is where the Masons held their meetings. They've completed redone the upstairs with the alter replicating how a mason room would be but they've sealed it off and we were only able to look through thick plastic doors. It was too difficult to get a good picture but it was really neat and interesting. <br />

Some of the old houses.<br />
<br />
I loved exploring this town and my family did too....I was surprised. I would love to visit again and take longer to explore the history. They had a cemetery that we didn't get to visit that I'd love to see again.<br />
<br />
They've made this into a State Park and if you are a camper, they have a campground right outside the city. I kept teasing my kids that if we saw anyone, that it was just a ghost:)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526863130508001815.post-1813337316422466632013-04-14T21:07:00.001-07:002013-04-14T21:07:15.433-07:00EasterWe had a wonderful Easter!!!<br />
<br />
We have always kept up the tradition of the Easter Egg hunt at tautphaus park. It became a little difficult this year since the girls could participate so I went with the girls to their age group, Chris took Landon and Jaden was ALL on his own. The girls were a little timid and needed a little help from me. We all met together to go through the goods and that is when the girls realized how great it was. The boys did awesome too!<br />

During the girls nap the Chris took the boys for some fun so I could hid their baskets. We do baskets on Sunday to try to keep Sunday more in line with why we really celebrate Easter. Thankfully the boys love this Saturday tradition. We only hid the boys baskets. We also got a family fire pit. <br />

After Church we got to enjoy a lovely dinner at my grandmas. The boys loved spending time outside and only came in to grab a quick bite and hunt for their bag from grandma. The girls loved the attention they were getting and were a hoot. They danced, ran, played, gave hugs, were so much fun!<br />

A very successfuly Easter!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526863130508001815.post-13682256172921963802013-03-25T15:51:00.001-07:002013-03-25T15:51:30.691-07:00green4 years ago I started a tradition of a green party with Jadens friends for St. Patricks Day. I've really tried to end this tradition and he just wouldn't have it this year. We literally invited friends over the day before and threw the party together the hour before. In fact, I planned absolutely no entertainment. I told Jaden that was his job.<br />

The kids had a blast. I was amazed at the creativity they had in entertaining themselves for 2 hours. They tried to get green cucumber into their mouths from the forehead without using their hands. They played leprachuan, laprachaun, gold (aka duck, duck, goose). They hunted for treasures (they each took a turn hiding treasure candies through the house. They played Gold (tag). I think that is probably the most giggling I've heard at a party. I think kids planning the entertainment will be in every future party's agenda.:)<br />
<br />
On St. Patricks day we hid chocolate gold coins through the house for the boys to find. Jaden built about 5 traps and blamed EVERY mishap of the day on the leprachan. For breakfast they had green pancakes and monster smoothies. Yes...in the morning my kids look like Orphans. Not one of them likes pajamas and by morning aren't sporting anything but their underwear/or diapers.<br />
<br />
Later in the day we enjoyed Green Chips and dip! <br />

For dinner we went to the Gusher. The girls went without a nap and were complete terrors...we ended up taking it to-go.<br />

They had so many fun activities for the kids. They had mini- snow mobiles. Landon even drove one all by himself. They loved it. They also had sledding, ice skating, and smores. I pulled the girls around in a sled as we went to the different activities. <br />

We stayed at a hotel that had a waterslide. The girls came and played for a little while and then kicked and screamed their way back to the room. Landon wouldn't go down the slide for the first hour, he just sat at the top. After a shove from Jaden he realized it was a blast and went on it over and over and over. They loved it.<br />

While we were there we also went on a mini-snow coach ride into Yellowstone Park. The girls enjoyed the 1st hour and then it was a nightmare. A poor nights sleep plus no nap make for some very unhappy girls. We were glad for that ride to be over. <br />

<br />
Jaden had begged for months to play so we finally got him signed up and decided Landon needed to be out of his comfort zone and we signed him up too. <br />
<br />
Landon was amazing. I would never had guessed how well he'd do. He wasn't nervous and got out there and kicked the ball. I couldn't believe how confident he was and how excited he was to play. We may sign him up for another session. <br />

I somehow signed Jaden up for a 10 year old team and they had to throw him on a team that had a cancellation at the last minute. At his very first game Chris was out of town and I had to take the kids all by myself and it was completely crazy and I couldn't catch any of the game. Towards the end I saw my brother walk towards me...I had now idea our sons were playing each other. I didn't even know my nephew was playing soccer. After the game ended I got the treat list and was looking at it in the car and saw all hispanic names. I was so confused so I texted my brother and told him I thought Jaden was playing on the hispanic team. He responded "you didn't notice that". When Jaden heard me say something about it he said "I'm on the red team". I love that he doesn't see anyone as different then him and their team is really good. <br />

<br />
Yes, we predict she's going to be the most fun and probably give us the most grief out of any of our children.<br />
<br />
As an example, Alisha was up the entire night 4 nights ago with severe constipation...so bad that after a doctors visit at 4 am and an x-ray that we needed to get her poop or else she may need surgery. So Chris took Alisha so that I could grab a few minutes of sleep and low and behold I hear a very awake Eli. I swear Alisha sent her a message via her mind that I was finally available. So I brought Eli into my bed begging with her to go back to sleep. She then decided she'd go play the piano, squeal, and make all kinds of loud noises. When Chris got home Eli was an absolute hoot and dancing around making us laugh except that we were tired and quickly made her go to bed.<br />
<br />
Today I tried to take some product pictures for my store. These girls frustrate me when I try to get good pictures but Eli was again too funny!!!! We love this little spunk and she definitely keeps us on our toes.<br />

Chris and I did very small gifts for each other because he just started a new job and the way the paychecks fall, we go for about a month without a paycheck. Let just say I'll be breathing much easier in March.:)<br />
<br />
For the boys vday cards we did these. I had an idea for the girls cards that I never executed....too little time. But really, we would have only given one to the grandmas and that's it so it's ok, right?<br />

<br />
So they headed to a Basketball Game at ISU. The boys loved it...most of all the loved running up and down the stairs. (It wasn't a full game so they were in a section where there wasn't anyone.) <br />
<br />
Jaden is starting to take an interest in watching sports and it's so fun for me to watch him asking Chris questions about the games. Growing up my dad and brothers were always going to Jazz games and had such a fun time and my boys are starting to get old enough to do the same. <br />

This is only the second occasion we've taken the girls because they make such a mess but love every minute of it.<br />
<br />
The boys look forward to going every week and getting to customize their frozen yogurt. Both locations also have games stores next door and they always have to pop in to check them out. They are regulars at both locations and everyone knows them.<br />
<br />
Such small things but it's fun to have little traditions to look forwards too!<br />

Thankfully I think I'll still be saving time and my book will always be up to date. That's something that's very important to me in case something ever happened.<br />

Yesterday the girl were sick so that didn't get to have fun with us at Grandma's and Grandpa's. We celebrated Easton's birthday and the New Year with sledding and being pulled behind the 4-wheeler on a sled, and warming up in the hot tub. The boys had a lot of fun.<br />

My kids love Leo's Place and that's where we headed tonight. At the cash register we went to pay for our "Family Package" when sweet little Eli started throwing up. Thankfully my hands came to the rescue and caught most of it and a quick cashier grabbed a cup to get the rest. So home the girls and I went.<br />
<br />
The boys got to stay and celebrate in the way that they love most...food, jungle gyms, and arcade games and just arrived home and are playing "Just Dance" in the basement. <br />
<br />
As I ponder what I want in the new year I always struggle to come up with resolutions. I always have weight loss on there (not very successful at it) but this year I want to add a timetable for finishing the book of mormon and I always have simplify on there.<br />
<br />
In an effort to simplify I'm converting my blog to this address .http://ourmurphylife.shutterfly.com I've gotten so sloppy on my pages I post on my blog and I don't have the desire to spend more time doing them. This will allow me to post the pages I create on Shutterfly's premade formats and I think I'll be much happier with them and it allows me to do two things at once. I hope you join me at my new blog and hopefully we have some new and amazing adventures in 2013. I wish you all a Happy New Year!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526863130508001815.post-31820972972780000202012-12-27T16:20:00.000-08:002012-12-27T16:20:31.692-08:00Little HelpersWe finally recieved some snow and knew that we needed to let the girls go experience it. We bundled them all up...they were all smiles....not fully sure what was going on. <br />
<br />
We went out and shoveled our driveway and they loved touching and feeling and checking out the snow. They were so cute!<br />

My 7 year old, 2nd grader is full of life!!!! Recently when I went to his parent teacher conference his teacher first words were "how do you do it." Thankfully it was meant in a positive way but this kids mind never stops and it is exhausting. He's always creating and inventing and has recently created his own cooking show that he has us upload to youtube. He can be so loveable and sweet and we absolutely love it when he is. He constantly amazes us with how smart he is and has started teaching himself fractions. He likes to use the grocery store to learn division, for example he'll use a case of pop and the price to determine the case per can....we don't even buy cans of soda:). <br />

My 4 year old, pre-schooler is so different then Jaden. He is much more shy but has a very fun personality if you know him. This is the kid we worry about although he's progressing so much each day. As he nears kindergarten we are recognizing we need to make some deicisions for him and whether we should hold him back. He's TALL and already looks like he should be in kindergarten. We met with his pre-school teacher a couple of weeks ago and she doesn't think he'll be ready.<br />
<br />
Landon has this ability to make adults fall in love with him. Everyone lights up when they talk about him and I haven't met an adult that doesn't love this boy...they probably wouldn't tell me if they didn't like him:). <br />
<br />
We are starting to recognize that Landon may be VERY bright and that it's a communication issue for him. We are in awe of some of the things Landon says and does and we hope and pray we can help him be able to share those talents with others. <br />

My older twin is such a little sweetheart. She is more timid, reserved, and needy. She loves to cuddle and be held. She likes to observe what others are doing and sometimes gets the courage to mimic their actions. Last night she attempted jumping after seeing her 2 year old cousin doing it and it was so funny to see her efforts to leave the ground. She giggled and giggled and had so much fun.<br />

This girl has won my heart. She is a mini-me. She tries to take care of things around the house and is very observant to where things go and what needs to be done. I think I finally have my helper and as she gets older I can't wait for all the help I'm going to get around the house:). She also is very tempermental and on a moments notice will throw a temper or start a high pitched howling. She's got spunk and keeps us all laughing. She's so good to help take care of Alisha unless Alisha has something she wants. <br />

These two together are an absolute hoot! They giggle over the silliest things. They do fight over things but we try to have two of everything to hopefully prevent that. They both are currently enjoying wearing their brothers shoes. They think it's so funny....they especially love the boys boots. In these pictures Eli had a black eye from a fall and thankfully our photographer said she could photoshop it out. When she gave me the disk she informed me she can't tell who is who anymore;). I think it's easy to tell them apart but almost no one else can. <br />
<br />
I'm so grateful for my children.

He wants it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He's not a BIG eater until it comes to his PBH. He wants them all day long. He also refuses to eat crust so I feel like I'm making them all day long and cutting the crust off and if I miss a piece he isn't very happy with me. Soooo....he now is making them himself. <br />

He also had decide AGAIN he doesn't like to wear clothes. We got him over it but it's back:(<br />
<br />
A couple times he's left the Peanut Butter close enough to the end of the counter and the girls have covered themselves in it. Not a fun thing to wash off them.

<br />
I thought if I bought a kit the boys could put it together all by themself. I learned that the homeade frosting I make sets up much faster. As they each applied pressure to their house adding candy it slowly eroded away to piles of gingerbread:(<br />

<br />
I can't believe that Thanksgiving and come and gone.<br />
<br />
We love that special day we get to spend with family and EAT! <br />
<br />
My kids love their cousins and begged their whole week off of school to get to play with them. We slipped in play dates and a few sleepovers and it makes me happy to know they are making the same kind of memories I had growing up. <br />
<br />
Our thanksgiving was loaded with lots of family, made from scratch food (which is my favorite), eyeing black friday ads, skeet shooting, and craziness!<br />

I don't like how all the black friday sales start on Thanksgiving now but it was sure nice to be home by 10pm. I do most of my shopping online now so I go more tradition then anything...a bunch of us crazy ladies!<br />
<br />
For all you local ladies if you need something to do on Saturday I am having an Open House at my home for my boutique and a couple of other local vendors....so exciting!!! 10am-1pm. This dress will be one of the items available for sale and we are EXCITED!!!<br />

<br />
We have loved our ward and have been so grateful for the many wonderful friends we have made in it. We also had the best bishop we could have ever asked for. When they announced they were redoing all the wards except for 1 in our stake I was a little worried what that would mean.<br />
<br />
What it meant was that our wonderful ward was cut in two and redistributed. We are so sad to lose our wonderful Bishop and so many wonderful friends. Chris also was released from the Bishopric since we are now in the NEW ward of the stake. Because we are the new ward we are starting from scratch. <br />
<br />
I've shed some tears BUT I'm not bitter:). I just truely will miss so many wonderful people. I know we have a wonderful new bishop and I look forward to getting to know him and a lot of new people.<br />
<br />
Fortunately we had two weeks after the change was announced and we got to enjoy Trunk Or Treat. The girls hadn't been feeling well that day so Chris stayed home and I got to enjoy the evening with only 2 kids....so much easier. <br />
