Big Elk

We were told that we need to drive down to Shoshone Falls and see the Elk, so Saturday we drove down there and were amazed. There is an elk farm that someone has started done there. We were only able to see one big elk and he was standing like 15 feet away from us. So Sunday we decided that we wanted to go back and look again and there was tons of elk. Jase loved them, after we left he asked if we could now go find a camel. Shane just kept telling me how bad he wanted to shoot one and hang it on the wall. That is just what I want to look at all day long.The Elk is above Shane's head and to the leftThey are kind of hard to see, but there a big group of elk all laying down. Aren't the falls beautiful!!!!

I love my boys

This morning as we were sitting eating breakfast, Jase was going over his normal questions of the day, he asks "where's daddy" and I tell him "work" and I get the usual response "why." I decided that maybe I would give a more in depth response then because, so I said "he had to go to work so that he can pay for the juice your drinking, the clothes your wearing, and the groceries that we buy." Jase's reply "like suckers!" The expression on his face was so cute, it was like he totally understood why dad goes to work now.

Yesterday at lunch I had Jase say his whole name, and then I was having him say Gage's whole name and when he got done he look at Gage and said "your a Murphy too!!"

It is funny how in our every day life we sometimes get caught up in all the big things that we overlook such simple joys. Life can sure throw some curve balls at you, exspecially when your not looking or expecting it.
