happy thursday

I love this time of year. School is kinda, sorta winding down or at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ball practice has started, too!! Abbey moved up to coach pitch and she's doing really good. I'm excited to see her play this year. Jack is in t-ball and him and Garrett (my nephew) are on the same team. It's going to be sooo fun watching them. They are the best on the team...hehehe! :-)

This is a sweet little tidbit. Yesterday Jack said the prayer for dinner and he said "please help everyone go to heaven and cancer go to hell." haha!

Abbey is growing like a weed! She is so motherly and is constantly wanting to help my sister with the twins.

I got the kids out early from school on Tuesday so they could enjoy this great weather with me. The office lady said, "really?!?!?" Really! It's been beautiful and I wanted them home so they could play outside!!

Have a great Thursday!!!

You're such a fun mommy. And I LOVE Jack's prayer! Have a great day!

Happy Thursday to you. I have spring fever, too!

Love that prayer! Sweet boy... and she's a sweetie, too. She came into my classroom last night eager to help. :)

Glad you got them out. I bet Emily is glad that Abbey wants to help.

We would love for y'all to come visit! Your summer is our winter, but it's like TX winter so it's just really nice outside right now! I messaged you the blog address.

I can't wait to see them in their bibs!! :)
Have a good Friday!

Hope y'all have fun & stay really, really warm!

Happy New year!!!

We celebrated at the Rocket's game and then stayed at the Hilton that over looks Discovery Green park. It was really neat. We could see all the action without leaving our room!! The fireworks were about eye level with us so that was neat. The kids couldn't wait for midnight to see them but Jack fell asleep around 11:45. :( We woke him up and Scott held him by the window but he doesn't remember any of it. I felt bad for him the next morning...he woke up and said, "we forgot to watch the fireworks!" Poor baby!

Resolutions - read my chronological Bible everyday. I have the NIV version and it's broken down into days so that should make it easier. So far, so good! haha! What are your thoughts on God creating other people besides Adam and Eve? In chapter 1, it refers to "them" and then in chapter 4 Cain is afraid people will kill him (and he gets married!). Have I asked that before?? Strange to think about and it doesn't really matter but makes for good conversation!

- I'm also going to run a 10k before my 30th birthday. I keep saying I'm going to train for it but really I'm just running a 5k and stopping. It's so mental!! I just need to push through and do it. I can't image running for an hour!! ugggg!

The kids go back to school Wednesday. The first semester we had a countdown to christmas but now it's a countdown to summer!!

Have a great Monday!!

Happy new year!

I would much rather ride a bicycle for an hour than run for an hour, though I'm not sure I'd really care to do either ;-)

by AlanL at 01/03/11 5:12PM
Jamie and I are reading the chronological bible this year too :)

by bigdeborah at 01/03/11 11:43PM
Great resolution. I am trying to do the same.

by nugglefriendcuz at 01/05/11 5:07PM
Thanks!

by AlanL at 01/11/11 9:56AM
i'm reading the chronological bible too...i'm in a group on FB where we discuss it...want me to add you?

by rainout at 01/12/11 3:14PM
I'm with Jack; I struggle to stay up until midnight (unless Auburn is playing for a National Championship). Thankfully, we were in Tampa and got to celebrate an hour earlier which helped tremendously!

by maucknot at 01/12/11 4:54PM
Running for ah hour = sheer torture!! The only way I could do that is with a tennis racket in my hand with intermittent stops...that way, you don't really realize how much running you are doing. Good luck on the 10k (can you really be 30?!?!).

Abigail Grace Murff turns 7 today! I'm so proud to be her mom. She is a very sweet and caring young lady. Always trying to do the right thing even when others (brother, haha) are not. She's into playing with baby dolls right now and talks about when she's going to get married. I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

Did I mention she likes to rock out any chance she gets?! ha ha!! :)

Happy birthday, Abbey!

by AlanL at 11/24/10 10:04AM
What a precious girl. She has a very good example to follow in her mom.
Happy Birthday, Abby!

by joc at 11/24/10 11:07AM
Happy Birthday rocker!!! THis pic cracked me up -- you've got to see the book! It came yesterday!

Happy Birthday, Abbey girl!

Well, we made it another year. Jackson Scott Murff is 6 years old today. I'm really struggling with the thought of my babies getting older. They are so sweet and innocent but with each passing year I know the devil will begin to try to chip away at their hearts and minds. I hate thinking about it. I wish I could keep them in a box with no responsibilities or temptations...forever! Anyway, on to much happier thoughts. Jack's day started out good. He got donuts for breakfast and opened 2 presents - a football with a tee and 2 dinosaur figure thingys. He's really into dinosaurs right now. He's asked for Pizza Hut stuffed crust cheese pizza for lunch and, get this, Carrabbas for his birthday dinner!!! woo hoo We told him he could pick anywhere he wanted and that's what he picked!! ha ha I better run an extra mile or two today. :)
Two six year olds...and I wouldn't have it any other way.

In other news, Scott and I celebrated 9 years of marriage Tuesday. He took the day off and we spent the morning at Memorial Park running the trails.

It was so much fun!! I'm thankful that we are best friends and that we enjoy just hanging out. After we ran, we ate lunch at La Madeline...we sat outside so we didn't scare the other patrons away. ha ha! This was probably my favorite anniversary. No fancy clothes or dinner just us doing what we enjoy. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

:-)

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to your big 6 year old!

by aleta at 11/12/10 6:17PM
Happy Birthday to Jack!

Happy Anniversary to you & Scott....I can't believe it's already been 9 years! I hope each year gets better & better! :)

by melissakaye at 11/12/10 6:57PM
That's so cool! What a neat anniversary.

by jenkegley at 11/12/10 9:47PM
yeah, it was kinda funny -- Josh called him! He said, don't you have my cell #? you can always call me!! haaa and by the way...is there any way you can take that off of FB?? ha

by rainout at 11/17/10 10:11AM
Yes, you guessed it. My grandson had his birthday party there Saturday.
