Wrapping it up

Life lately has been bliss. The boys play so well together and they are able to communicate their thoughts and feelings. It makes parenting so much easier! Of course we have the occasional tantrums and mood swings, from all of us but Dad, but that just makes us appreciate the good days, right? Life is good here in the Murphy home and we love our sweet and funny two year olds. 
The Ultimate fun game. 


It never gets old. 
Such a beautiful sunset. 

Playing in the sprinklers.



But we needed to bust out the big guns.


"Milo, want to come play with Benji?"









An afternoon at the pool with Daddy made for
a pretty good day. 

I have learned to keep an extra pair of swim diapers
on hand, because we never know when we will
find an empty splash-pad!















Benji needed a selfie. 
We love daddy and we love
Barnes and Noble. 
And we love reading!



We love weekends with Josh home. He always comes up with the funnest games and keeps us all entertained. The boys spent hours playing in their "rocket" and running down their "huge hill". Thanks, Joshua, for being so great! We love you!

Nice rocketship, boys!

















Weekends also mean that they get to try foods that that
mom never eats. 

And much to my dismay, they
have their daddy's taste-buds and not mine!



We (the boys) LOVE Blue Cheese!



They are definitely chips off of the ol' block.

Rain, rain, please just stay.

I never really understood the phrase, "When it rains, it pours" until I moved to Arizona. During monsoon season, that phrase really has meaning. It pours and it pours hard! Like...flash floods, full canals, and thunder all night long. We LOVE Monsoon season and it might be my favorite thing about Arizona. Last week we had a huge rainstorm hit and I realized that the boys hadn't really ever played in the rain! So...we did just that and had a blast. We might even make it a tradition.












Some loud thunder took us all by surprise. 

Fascinated by lightning! 










Soaked to the core and having a blast.
