summer pictures

It's so hard to believe that we have a 5 year old and a two year old! God has truly blessed us!

 True buddies I tell ya!

 I giggle every time I see look at the next photo...Murphy was wanting so badly to JUMP off the wall!  You can see it in his face!

Murphy is TWO!

Murphy had a fabulous birthday party! He loved having the birthday song sung to him! He especially loved all the cupcakes...YUMMY! The theme for his birthday party was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", which is one of Murphy's favorite books! I thought this theme was so fitting for our little guy....he eats, and eats....

One of his favorite gifts was "tawboy boots" from Granny, Nana and Pops! He has worn them non stop!

Little Man got to open lots of presents on his birthday!

He was a little over whelmed by it all! He would open a gift then want to play with it and forget that he had other to open!

Picture from newborn, 1st birthday, and now his 2nd!

A week later we had another party with the Ivey crew! Round TWO of cake and presents!

His response was AWESOME!!!

He got a  "matman back back and nack box"

(Batman backpack and snack box)

He also really loved the "matman budn budn"!

Here are a few more funny photos of Murphy eating his cupcake!

Murphy at two years old

“For from him and through him and for him are all things.  To him be the glory forever!”  

Romans 11:36

We are so grateful for this precious life that has been entrusted to us by God. We are so in LOVE with this little guy!

 

Murphy has grown into a funny, smart, handsome, caring, cuddly, all boy, sweet little man. He loves to climb on everything! We had our moments when he falls and we hold our breath and wait to see if he is going to cry...Most of the time he gets right back up to try again! 

Murphy at two:

~loves to jump, run, climb, and slows down rarely

~we started time-out and he is doing really well! 

~uses the potty 1-2 times a day! Yippee!

~no longer uses his pacie

~eats everything in sight! 

(fav food- Cheese, broccoli, black beans, anything cinnamon, strawberries, blueberries, and ham!

~loves to drink milk (muk muk), apple juice, and tea....yea I know....We let him! My sweet Southern BOY!

~Loves his pup, Elsie! He calls her "Come Come". WHen he gets on to her he says 

"NO Come Come!" We believe he got the "Come" part because when we call for Elsie to eat we say "Elsie Come!" 

~still dislikes riding in the car. He will ride for a very short period of time before he gets board and wants to get out of his seat! Murphy has even Houdini-ed his way out of his carseat! Yep!! This mama had to pull over and strap him in again!

~His bigest loves are Trains and Batman!!! Thats all this kid thinks about....well and eating! 

~LOVES his sister! They have just become such great buddies! Their favorite thing to do is wrestle each other on the bed or on the floor! All you hear is laughing!

He also loves playing hide and seek!

~He is such a LOVE BUG!! He gives hugs and kisses!  Loves to sit in our laps! 

~He has gotten very good in answering questions. He does so by either saying "no" or noding his head no or yes.

~loves his bath time!

~wears his boots like a real Cowboy!!

~could seriously live outside!

~His "two year old" side is really coming through....He tells us "no" and "stop"....

loves to be a big help to mommy and daddy!

~Loves to show me his "choo choo". He says "Oock Mommy OOck, Choo Choo!"

Murphy wants a...

 In case you didn't get that...Murphy wants a "Matman Baby"...or Batman Baby....Funny little fella!

*Our Teeny Tiny Secret*

 Our sweet little "gummy bear"! -This is what Madelyn called the baby this morning;)

*The 4th*

We celebrated the 4th with Nino, Joe, and Sarabeth! The kidos swam all day then came in and enjoyed hotdog and hamburgers on the grill! We had a fun filled day for SURE!{

 

{Milly-1, Addy Grace- 3 1/2, Madelyn-5, Murphy-almost 2!}

My two like to pick Nino's flowers:-)

I will go ahead and tell everyone that I am very sorry that you had to miss out on this FABULOUS cake! This is the cake that Nino makes every forth of July and I assure you....IT.IS.AMAZING!

When the sun went down we headed to Lipscomb University where they host a huge firework show! The kids really loved it! Although they sat really still and wanted their ears to be covered! We were sitting kinda close to where the were being shot off! ....so it really felt/sounded like we were close to a firing range!!!
