Games are seriously the biggest rip off, but the boys brought their own money for these so I let them play a couple!

It's my BIRFDAY

My baby boy giving me some LOVE on my Birfday!

So those of you who know me know I LOVE birthday's, even my own (not the getting older part) but the going out and celebrating part is my fav.  I usually drag it out as long as I can, for several days in fact so here's just the beginning, ha ha!!  My sweet friends and sis took me to lunch and while there Ange gave me the cutest present EVER!!  It was candy bars and gift cards with little sayings that went with each like..........."Show" glad you're my baby sister with a cinemark gift card. You "Rox" with a Roxberry gift card. Hope you have a "Zupa" Birthday with a Zupa's giftcard.  You bring me "Joy" with an Almond Joy.  Hope you have a "Whopper" of a birthday. "Orange" you glad today is your birthday with a Orange Leaf giftcard. etc.........it's the cutest thing EVER.  I so love this creative, amazing, and thoughtful sis of mine!  After lunch I took my kiddos to the carnival (Pics will come on a later post) which was super fun!!  We had a great time!  After the carnival we went to the boys Pack Activity (Dall got his wolf, woo hoo) and then to dinner at Olive Garden!  After dinner I opened presents, got the cutest necklace EVER from my Tay.....he picked it out and paid for it all on his own, what a sweet boy!  I even was lucky enough to get a super yummy "kitty katrina" cake from "The Chocolate!"  What a great great birthday it was!
Love my little best friend!!
Here's my darling present from Ange!!

Murphy Family Reunion 2012


Oh how we look forward EVERY year to the Murphy Family Reunion.  My kids are always in heaven and it's always so much fun hanging out with all of the Murphy Fam.  This year we went to Yuba Lake (this is our 3rd year here) and had a blast.  The only downfall was the weather, a little on the cooler side (some were super happy about that), but we were still able to get in some swim and beach time.  Along with the beach we played some fun games, Fear Factor (LOVED), Bunko, they guys golfed, Karaoke, had our little Murphy store, did our annual auction, and also a  talent show.  Thank you everyone that came and supported, it's always so much fun to be a part of such an amazing (BIG) family!

Angie, Katie, Natalie, Aunt Erin, Me, July, Aunt Kim, Julie, Tricia, and Bek
A yucky old dried up snake head, EEEWWWW!!!!
Koriney made the most amazing yummiest dutch over breakfast!!
This year we all went in and bought a fun bounce house water slide for the kids to play on, when it was up the kids loved it.  Hopefully next year it's a little warmer so they can enjoy it more.
Here's our darling Murphy Store that we sold fun little toys, Jaden and Q did a manicure station, and we also sold treats.  I think the kids had fun being in charge of this.
Love this pic of these two!!
My handsome Tay, I swear he looks 15 in this pic!

So there was this huge wind rain storm that lasted about 20 minutes and you should have seen Jake and Mya trying to hold the "fort" tent down, so funny!
Tiring stuff to keep the tent safe!
After dinner we started Karaoke and had so much fun with it.
"Sweet Caroline"
Q and Tay dancing along to us singing Karaoke, LOVE!

Aunt Kim made this really fun science experiment, the kids had a blast watching the bottles explode!

Ofcourse we had Smores
Wake up Uncle David, ha ha!
Us girls playing Bunko!  It was fun because our prizes were gifts of our favorite things.  Such a fun way to get to know each other a little better!
Snow cones, /yum
My poor baby, here he is resting after his little accident that could have been so bad, I'm so grateful he ended up being ok.  He got super excited when the sun came out and dove head first into the lake hitting his head hard on a huge rock and scraping his chest pretty bad!!!  It was so so sad, but after about an hour he was ok :)
Big bump on his head.
Dinner time
Okay, here is Fear Factor, what a fun time we had!!!  So this is everyone trying to spit sunflower seeds into a cup!
Sick Sick Sick, here we are trying to eat Tripe, oh my gosh this was disgusting!!  Look at David just eating it with pleasure!! 

Here's the guys trying to shoot water on their partners face to dissolve a alka seltzer, so funny!


Here's the Auction, Jake was our Auctioneer!!  Everyone brought such great things and I loved that it helped out to pay for next year!

A cool pic of Grandpa Murph up for Auction!!

Sunday Morning we had the talent show, I LOVED watching all these cute amazing kiddos with their talents. 
These two were my fav.....they sang the cutest song and used such a fun expressions, LOVED!
