July 24th - Food Fun & Fireworks

Murphy and I took the day to go down to Liberty Park for the Utah Pioneer Day, we went to the Tracy Aviery and then into the park where the festivties were aplenty! Murphy ate corndogs, nachos and candy - mmm healthy. On the way out of the park we had them paint a snake across Murphy's face - it resided there for three days until we finally washed in off!

He said...

So I would like to announce.....drumroll....Murphy is POTTY TRAINED (+ or - a couple of accidents). We are so proud!!!

So I have to share something he said while he was sitting on the pot...

He tooted and then looks down and says "bless you my pee-pee" in the most serious voice (as though it had sneezed)... I am seriuosly laughing while I am typing. You have got to love a two-year old's point of view.

Here is a link to a really cool personality test. Instead of the standard multiple choice format, you get to use sliders and quadrants and other nifty ways of rating yourself on a continuum. A much more realistic way to assess yourself. It's fun! Try it here.


My Result was a free-wheeling creator! I love it!

Mad Hatter Hats

We went to the Art's Festival this weekend, it took an hour and a half to wait in two food lines and the beverage line for water - I was about worked at this point. We were walking through the displays and there was a children's booth where you could make "Mad Hatter Hats" so we asked Murphy if he would like to make one and very excitedly went to pay for the pleasure of pasting glue and paint all over a paper bag - lady behind the counter "we're closed" no emotion (I get it long day etc etc), but but there are people right their painting their bags!!!! So I get down on little Murph man's level and tell him how sorry I am but they are closed - sadness! He was such a big boy and we made a pact that we would make Mad Hatter Hats at our house, I think that it was a success!

Where are you???

Big Kid Bike

Murphy is such a big kid now! He received a treasure from his eight year old cousin - his big kid bike! Zach has been hanging on to this bike even though he grew out of it many years ago - for one purpose...Murphy's First Bike. He loves it (can't imagine where he got that from...)

Props to the Tan-Man love his wheels!!!!

Happy Father's Day

Baby you are the most amazing father, the love you have for your son shows in everything that you do, from playing with the Murph man to being the tough guy. We love you so much.
