Good Ole Rocky Top!

Even Snow White loves ROCKY TOP!!!

Lillie enjoys playing dress up, as any little girl does, but I didn't know Disney Princess' like SEC football!! I guess its fitting!!! Better that than a Florida Gator song!!!!

Ready for Ballet!

I signed Lillie up for ballet last week and she is soooooo excited. She is ready to go and was showing off some poses after we got her leotard, tights, and slippers. We will now have to see how she does in the actual class on the 26th. MORE TO COME!!!

Happy 4th of July

During our first trip we we in a tropical DEPRESSION (key word here is DEPRESSION!) Being stuck inside at the beach for four days with 2 kids is NOT COOL!!!!

Lillie's first OFFICIAL Mini-PED. She did a GREAT job getting her haircut and even let them wash her hair in the shampoo bowl, so her treat was to get her toes painted like Momma's!

Wow, we have had a crazy summer!!!! We left for Seagrove Beach on May 20th and returned on May 31st. About 11 days after returning Paul's father passed away, and I am so thankful that we were all home when this did happen. Mom and I left on June 16 and headed to the beach with the girls and returned to surprise Paul on Fathers Day. I then got things unpacked and then packed again and we returned to Seagrove for the July 4th holiday with Paul's brother Mike and his family. That was a lot of fun and I am glad that his girls kept Lillie and Lauren Catherine entertained! Paul and I are both still keeping up with our tennis and truly enjoying it. I would be at the club hitting balls every day if I could. I actually just signed up for the fall league as well!

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here. Not to much new is going on and we are preparing to head to the beach soon. Paul is still playing his tennis and I have started taking lessons as well. I am playing in a inter-club league this June and am really looking forward to that. Lillie is finishing her first year of preschool next week and Lauren will be 9 months old on May 18th. My how the time is flying! We had a fairly relaxed Easter and Mother's Day this year, but Mom wsa an angel and kept the girls Monday night so that paul and I could go out to dinner for my birthday. 32 and another year younger!!!! I will post some pictures above of recent happens in the Murphy house!

Spring Anyone?

It has been a while since I have posted anything. trying to get the whole family feeling better has been a big chore since mid-January. I think that we are all back to normal( if we can be normal) and are ready for the beautiful days of spring coming in our direction. the Dogwoods are about to bloom and the flowers are sprouting, I love Knoxville this time of year! Last weekend was beautiful and Paul is now playing USTA tennis. He had a match Sunday, so we went to watch. Trying to keep Lillie quite was a challenge. At one moment she was watching the match (she really had no clue what was going on) and she said "that's not very good!" I hope that she was talking about the opponent and not Daddy! Then she wanted to go and play!

Sisterly LOVE!

Here is a cute picture of Lillie and Lauren aka "LALA." Surprising Lillie loves her baby sister, except for when Lauren takes the attention away from her or when she needs something. So I guess that she loves her about 20% of the time, probably less. HAHA
