February Updates

February. The shortest month of the year, but can sometimes feel the longest. 

No I take that back January is definitely the absolute longest and February is just an extension of it. 

Anyway here’s some updates that happened:

Urgent care visits. Back to back. One for Carson and another for Logan. Fun times. 🤪

Pine wood derby

Basketball. Lots of Basketball. Tanner was one of the star players in his team and it was fun to watch him play his favorite sport. He really has improved so much.

His team won second!

Logan played too. He was lucky to have the same coach from last year.

They also won second

I hosted game night where we played old school Mario Cart and I had a students mom make this awesome charcuterie board to serve.

I mean gold flecks on the fruit 🤩

Tanner enjoyed the leftovers the next day! I mean charcuterie board and watching a show together. That’s totally speaking his love language.

I also got back into making quilts! I had all this leftover fabric from a quilt I made for Katherine and thought it was time for a new one. Love it!

And February is my favorite month at the preschool. We have rodeo days and a petting zoo! Kelly has been my assistant this year and has been a perfect fit! She’s so calm and is great with the kids. She makes my first year as a lead easier. 

My cute class

The llamas always my favorite, sad to see her behind a gate this year though.

Annual Clark ski trip

Every year, Brad looks forward his brother’s annual ski trip in Utah. A tradition he loves and this year it wasn’t just the brothers but most of his family! They hit the slopes together, and it seemed each day he got to ski with someone new. 4 straight days of skiing alternating between Snowbasin and Alta ski resorts. I know for Brad, it’s not just about the skiing—it’s about quality time with the people he loves most.

Grandpa’s Funeral

The cousins singing one of Grandpa Murphys favorite primary songs “All Things Bright and Beautiful”

My first time going to a military funeral. They didn’t do one for my Uncle Lloyd.

It’s very emotional, especially the gun salute.

The four Murphy brothers

My two aunts

The Murphy Cousins. We were all lucky enough to be there.

The cousins just chatting away while eating funeral potatoes. It’s always nice to get together with family, who knows if we’ll ever all be together again. So there was a lot of catching up to do.

The entire Murphy Family:

The Murphy girls: and yes I only have one girl cousin. The boy line is strong in the Murphys! I was the first girl born into the Murphy line in 185 years! 

Reunited and resting with Grandma
