from the weekend: friday

Friday was the first day I had off after a 10-day-marathon at work.

And it was our 2-Year Anniversary.

And we got to visit a friend and her new baby in the hospital.

And Brandon and Kristen flew into town.

And John drove up from Utah to join Coya and Mady.

And it was our nephew Ethan's first birthday.

That was just Friday.

The whole weekend was simply packed.

And it was simply wonderful!

For our Anniversary, Ty and I went out to breakfast {bringing sweet Kemry, of course} and lunch!

Who could pass up french toast and wings that you don't have to cook?

We dropped the Kembot off with Coya {right before lunch, actually} and headed to the Bodies Exhibit here in town {which we loved, by the way}.

It was super nice to spend some time alone, even though it was with tons of dead, preserved bodies.

Brandon and Kristen {and Ethan, surely!} finally made it to town, and the party really got started!

Yummy steak, ring toss, and some birthday cupcakes with the cute birthday boy!

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't he the cutest?!?

kemry's first fourth of july

We had a lovely Fourth and hope you did, too.

And I know you want to see what Kemry's first one was like.

So here you go.

First of all, she was cute.
Like always.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah. Those shoes didn't stay on long.

She spent quite a while watching everyone play ring toss

{because we are Murris, and that is what we do.}

 

 

 

 

 

And she may or may not have had a few tastes of that licorice...

...and she was hooked instantly....

 

 

...so much so that she was a little unhappy when we took them away from her.

But most of all, she spent time with us.

And we loved it.

{except we only got pictures with her and Tyrel, of course.}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

regarding a certain pigeon

Remember this post?

All about that nasty pigeon {that I have since named Beverly}?

Well, we kept watching and watching and watching.

And that darn egg never hatched.

Although we were pretty hopeful that Beverly would leave since her egg was a dud, we felt kind of sad.

We were pretty sure it was our fault that that egg never hatched.

With all of those buckets of water out of the sliding door during the Idaho-wintry month of May, we probably caused the egg to freeze.

Feeling laden with grief, Tyrel looks out on the deck one last time to say his goodbyes.

But instead of saying adieu, he shouts, "THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!"

Needless to say, all remorse as gone and was replaced with slight aggitation.

Beverly is never going to leave, is she?

This morning before Ty left for work, he decided to see if the one good egg had hatched yet.

After slowly sneaking to the window, banging on the glass like a madman to scare Beverly out of the nest, he turned around quickly, his face forlorne.

For this is what he saw...

{note the dead egg on top. oops.}

 Apparently, Beverly gets around.

As tickled as I am to find out that our backyard is a pigeon brothel, I am beyond thrilled to be moving out of this place in t-minus 24 days.

Sorry, Beverly. I guess that means you are on your own.

coya+john+mady

Tyrel's sister {Coya} and her husband {John} are in the process of moving to Nebraska.

We are extremely bummed out to see them go but are so excited {and jealous} for the adventures that await.

Father's Day was one of our last hurrahs, and I promised I would post some pictures.

Mainly because half of them are hillarious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Mady.

Now who will we laugh at? :)

we hope you are enjoying your weekend

because we sure are :)
