7 YEARS of pure BLiSS!

Seven years ago on March 22 I married the man of my dreams and absolute best friend in the whole world! We could not be happier! I can't believe it has been that long. If feels like I have know him forever and can't remember my life without him, but then it feels like we are still in that newly wed stage still. All I can say is that I love this man so much and am so so grateful he is in my life and love how he takes care of me and our children so well! He is all that I dreamed of and MORE! We have three...almost four beautiful children that I would die for! They are our world and we have so much love to give all of them. I am one lucky girl to have this man! I don't think they come much better. Yes...I am very biased! Happy SEVEN years baby and many many more to come! I LOVE YOU!

The amazing roses he sent me! They are gorgeous and make my house smell so yummy!

Needless to say those are the only pictures we took. We didn't do too much since we were in Vegas for four days and came home the day before our anniversary so we wanted to spend it with the kids. We went to Typanyaki for dinner since the kids hadn't been there in awhile and I don't think Karst has ever been. They LOVED it. Karston was very entertained! Then we came home and watched a movie in the theater room. It was a perfect night!

Seven things we LOVE to do together.

::Just talk and talk and talk. I love road trips with him because I love the conversations we have.
::We LOVE to travel together as a couple or as a family. The trips we do take are usually way last minute and I love that about us as well.
::Bubble baths and candles
::Snuggling and watching a movie...weather it be at the theater or in our home.
::Gotta love the lovin!! Sorry...it had to be said!
::Sitting out on our deck in the summer time at night enjoying each others company.
::Shopping...I don't know if he would agree, but I love to go shopping with him. He has good taste and is always good company.
::I have to add one more...just going to the local coffee shop and enjoying a nice warm drink and chit chatting! We usually do that while we are waiting to go to a movie or just after dinner or something!

I could go on and on, but there is just a few things I will mention!

The LePrEcHaUnS did come to our house this year...

As crazy as it was at our house the day before St. Patty's day, the leprechauns still decided to come to the Murphy house! They even knew that cousins were staying over at our house and left them something too. They left a fun trail of gold leading to their baskets. They also turned the milk GREEN and left lucky charms! Lucky kids! They sure had a blast seeing if the leprechauns did come to their house. We had to get them up super early since Jay and I and Tsalaph and Kasey were leaving to Las Vegas that morning. Karston was still sleeping during all the fun and didn't get his prize until later when we were trying to run out the door. They sure enjoyed every minute though. I didn't get any pictures of them in their GREEN since we took them straight over to my mom's house! But they were decked out in it! What a fun little holiday to celebrate since Jay is Irish!!

What's been happening...

Not too much has been going on lately...that's why I haven' t blogged much! Can I just tell you I am so sick of winter and the snow and the cold!! When it hits 60 degree's the kids are asking to go swimming or to turn on the sprinklers. Ummmm...it's still too cold children! We cannot wait until SUMMER!

Anyway...this past weekend we had dance pictures for both girls and cheer pictures for Jaydyn. But before those...Jaydyn had a cheer rehearsal for an hour in full costume, makeup and hair. Then pictures from 5:30 to 8:00...whoo, that was a long Saturday! Not to mention Jaydyn's dance costume, shorts, and tights were either taken or misplaced because one minute they were in my purse while I was doing cheer pictures and the next minute it was gone and still hasn't been found!! What a pain! What a day huh! Meanwhile Jay is out of town...in Mesquite and comes home tonight!! Can't wait for that!

I also bought myself a sewing machine!!! WHAT??? Yes I really did and I am learning how to use it! I have started a rag quilt and it is almost done. And I sewed it...yes I really did! I will have to show you the final project when it's all done! I am pretty excited about it and hopefully I can learn a thing or two about sewing!

A little preview of the girls in their dance costumes which are absolutely adorable!!!

The kids also beg to go out to the back of our house to drive their cars and four wheeler around the track. It's Karston's most favorite thing to do! All day long he asks to go ride the vroom vroom! He LOVES it to say the least! He knows how to drive that thing like you wouldn't believe. He rally's that thing! He goes down hills and tries to go over big snow banks! He just really loves anything with a motor! What a boy we have! So every nice or decent day...Jay will usually bundle them up and take them out for 45 min to an hour and let them ride! It's so fun and they can't wait to ride them when it's warmer!











Oh yeah one other thing I failed to mention...

Can you read what their shirt says...sorry these were taken with my phone.


We are execting baby number 4!!!! I really can't believe that number, but we are! I am 12 weeks along and baby looks great!

Back in November, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, but baby was only 6 weeks and 1 day. We went in to the first check up to see the little heartbeat, and when they couldn't get one upstairs in the office, they sent me downstairs to the better ultrasound to see there...which happened when I was pregnant with Karston, so I didn't think anything of it. It didn't take the ultrasound tech long to figure out that there was no heartbeat. Gosh, this is still hard to think and write about! They also found a large cyst on my right ovary...the size of a grapefruit. Which I have had cysts before and have had them removed but this one was the biggest one. So they got me in the next day to have a D&C and to remove that cyst which they had to remove half of my right ovary as well. We got hit with two major things that day and not happy hits! But after two months we were ready to try again we thought. Jan 1st was the go ahead date and after not preventing Jay and I were talking and just said if we don't get pregnant this month then we would wait until end of summer of somthing. But January 19th I found out we were definatly expecting! Around week 9 I started bleeding and passing other stuff which I have never done with any other pregnancy before, so I thought I was for sure losing it. I got into the Dr. two days later and found out everything was just perfect!! So now we are happy to say we are having a BABY...AgAiN!!!!!

This ultrasound was taken at 9 weeks when everything looked great!
