September, Slow Down!

I am in denial that September is already a third of the way over. WHAT?! In the words of Quincy on "Little Einsteins", "I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!" (We watch a lot of that over here.)
Anyways, it has been good, even with time getting the better of me. If you want my honest opinion, September can just slow right on down!
Ryan drove down to AZ with the
Marsden men for the BYU game.
We lucked out and got to play with
him all morning long!
Thanks for the pool party, yummy lunch, and
awesome fort, Ryan! 

It was an exhausting morning!



All tuckered out. 
The boys got an amazing package from Nanna S and Poppa S and loved it! It was the first piece of "snail-mail" they have ever gotten and they couldn't get enough. Thank you!



They made me hang it up right away. Thanks
Nanna and Poppa S! We love you!
I have learned a few tricks to get them both looking at the
camera. Unfortunately it means I get some pointing fingers
instead. "Boys, where is Momma's nose?!"
Such cutie swimmers.

Can you show me a sad face?
Can you show me a happy face?
It is even better when we
have it all to ourselves. :)
We love the splash-pad!




Benji and Milo love reading with Daddy.

It is finally starting to kind of cool off enough for
trips to the park...if we go at 8 in the morning. 
We love the park! 


Milo loves to move and Benji loves to sing and they
both make me SO happy. I love my boys.
Josh has had a few late nights
and early mornings between
work and school but he was
kind enough to "stay up"
with me while I finished
up some projects.
True Love. :)
Josh got home from an overnighter with the Scouts and
quickly had the boys entertained. 

And let me tell you, if you ever need an amazing partner
for Pictionary, pick Josh! He can draw anything!
(this is not sarcasm)




Milo insisted on wearing his fleece jacket
despite the 106 degree weather.
Crazy (yet adorable) kid! 


















That is one happy, and handsome, camper!

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.
