The Murphy Family

This is August.  Pretty much the same as July, but just as cute and silly, so it deserves its own post too.  This moment was like a dream come true for Logan.  He could spray a water bottle (favorite thing in the world to do) at his brother's face and not get in trouble.   Puttin' out the vibe here.  Mason thought he looked pretty snazzy (that is so a word my mom would say.  It makes me happy that it's the first one that came to my mind.  I like to be like my mom) so he wanted a pic taken before church.  I love Logan's confidence in this.  He felt like he looked equally good in just some undies.  I have to agree.  My sis brought Mason that shirt from Hawaii.  It's a 12 month.  He found it and really wanted to wear it because he said it still fits.  I had to have him try it on before he would believe that it does not, in fact, fit.  I have never seen a pic that makes me want to c...

We are pretty much home bodies.  I love to be home.  My kids, usually, love to be home.  We aren't big vacationers.  Don't get me wrong, we like to get out of town for awhile, but not for long and we are always really happy to be home again.  So, this is how we spend most days.     Mason is all about having a friend over...all day, every day if possible.  He also loves to be a superhero.  So, friends playing superhero is just about as good as it gets.   This was Mason's superhero that he created all by himself.  That is a voice changer, a flashlight and a hard hat.  He couldn't ever decide on a name for himself, but he had some pretty sweet powers.  Yesterday he said that our dog, Lizzie, was his sidekick and that her super power was doggy breath.  Love my boys and their imaginations.  Legos are about 25 percent of each and every day.  Mason likes them alot, but Logan LOVES them....

So, the boys have been begging me for a LONG time to get them a puppy.  And, by boys I mean my little boys and my big boy.  Dan grew up with house dogs and loved them.  I tried to warn him that he didn't remember how much work they were because his mom was undoubtedly doing all of the annoying stuff.  He insisted.  So, since our kids are older and we will have a pretty big gap between Logan and our next baby, we figured it should be now or never.  And, obviously NOW won out.  I saw this little sweetie online and decided we had to have her.  She is a cockapoo and the boys let everyone know that.  She is not introduced as Lizzie, it's usually, "this is our cockapoo.  We decided if a boy is going to have a dog, it might as well be a cockapoo.  It sounds like a potty word but they can say it whenever they want with no repercussions.  What could be more perfect?  So, here we are, a d...
