THE MURDOCK FAMILY

JUNE 2013
What a great month! Summer is finally here and we have been enjoying the warm weather. It has been so fun to watch the kids grow...especially Brooke! She has been such a sweet baby and we all love her SO much! Travis had his birthday this month and turned 6! We had our first "friend" party and it was lots of fun. Travis is such a sweet boy and such a great help to me. I love him so much! We have also had such a great time since dad is out of school and has been home a little more. Here are the fun things we have done this month:

June 2nd--Little Brooke after church! She is the easiest baby and is so sweet. I absolutely love to hold her and watch her little face! Having a girl is so much fun! I love dressing her up. She is precious! I can't believe how fast time goes by...she will almost be 1 month!

June 3rd--Playing in the water on the trampoline! Ethan had a ball!!!

Tyler and Travis thought it was so great to put the water sprinkler on the trampoline. It was lots of fun!

June 4th--Travis and Brooke! Travis is such a sweet brother and such a great helper!

Tyler LOVES his new "Jake and the Neverland Pirate" jammies from Grandma and Grandpa Clark!

We love this little Ethan! He loves to carry a blanket around the house and suck his two fingers. It's actually so cute to see!!!

Brooke taking her little bath.....absolutely darling! This is my favorite time of night cause I get to be just with her!

WE LOVE YOU BROOKE!....and she takes a pacifier. We can't believe it!

June 8th--These boys LOVE Brooke and cannot get enough of her!

June 8th--Travis's Birthday Party!!!! This was the first year ever that we have had a "friend" party. It was so fun to plan the party. Travis LOVES Ninjagos and so we planned a theme party around this. When my Dad was here for Brooke's birth, we helped to make the decorations. I really think that was the funnest part! My Dad made these darling ninja bandanas for each boy. He also made these darling Ninjago figures! Travis and I made some chinese lanterns and some little Ninjagos out of colored chocolate for the cake. It was so fun to prepare for the party and we all had such a good time! Travis invited his cousins and some little friends from church (who are also our neighbors)!

Our first game...trying to keep the balloons up using Ninja swords!

Travis is all ready for his obstacle coarse...I love this boy!

Dad made the greatest Ninja obstacle coarse in the backyard. The boys loved it and it was truly a hit!
