Murphy 4th of July

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Steinmetz's house for the 5th of July to celebrate with the Murphy family. Maggie had a good time swimming, rocking on the bench, walking around, and playing catch!

Gymnastics!

Maggie had her first gymnastics class on Friday, July 2nd. She is in a class in Oak Lawn with 1 and 2 year olds that meets every Friday for 6 weeks. Her cousin Ethan and her friend Ella are also in the class. She had a lot of fun running around with the other kids. The teachers had the parents and kids sit down twice for "circle time", but not many of the one year olds wanted to sit for long!

Here is a picture of Maggie on the trampoline!

Happy 4th of July!

On the 4th of July, we went to visit my friend from high school, Stacy. Maggie was very comfortable with Stacy and her mom. We played in the house, played catch with her dog Isis, ate yummy steaks, blew bubbles, and watched the fireworks.

Here is a picture of Maggie trying to whistle at the bird, Nique. She's really getting good at whistling (which she started doing on her own a few weeks ago).

Aunt Natalie and the girls

Aunt Natalie loves her nieces, but they didn't really
participate with her in the picture. I'm sure the
pictures will get cuter and cuter every year!

I-phone wait

Since daddy is a technology junkie, he had to get the new I-Phone 4. He pre-ordered it and we went to pick it up on the day it came out at about 4 pm. We thought that would be fine and the lines would be down. They were much shorter, the wait was only 2 hours!!! Maggie fell asleep in the car and I sat there and read a book until she woke up.

Splash!!

After Father's Day, we went to stay with Aunt Dani. We took the kids to a splash park. They loved playing in the water. Maggie was mostly interested in crawling around, so she scratched her knees up quite a bit, but she didn't seem to care. I tried to take pictures, but my camera died!! Here's what I could get:

Father's day

Maggie gave Chris a grill for father's day! He has been so happy, he's been cooking out at least once every week!

On Father's day, we went to breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma Steinmetz, Uncle Erik, and Emily to Peaches and Pears. We gave Grandpa Steinmetz a bike for father's day. Hopefully we can all go for a bike ride soon!

After breakfast, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Miller's house for a cookout. Everyone was there except for Uncle Jerriah and Aunt Brandy. The kids played in the yard and we gave Grandpa Miller a hammock. Hopefully he has a nice time using it!
