Great Vacation!!!!

We just spent 4 wonderful days in New Port Beach, California for my mom's birthday (and Caeden's too). I so love that my oldest son is a lover of the ocean like I am. We were blessed with amazing weather on Thursday Nov 4th and mom, C and I all swam in the ocean. :)
The 4 of us enjoyed a Sunday morning breakfast at Ruby's at the end of the pier which was fabulous!
Here's the whole family at our beach house. We had a wonderful time playing games, eating, relaxing, watching football, swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand and of course taking lots of pictures to document almost every moment. We gathered 4 cameras at the end of 4 days and we had 290 pictures, can we say crazy?
My babe and I on the patio after a 13 hour adventure on Friday at Disneyland. It was a blast, and I will blog about that at another sitting. :)

Caeden's officially 5!

He had been looking forward to this day for months and as you can see the fact it arrived put a smile on his face! What an artistic cake too huh? :)
Here we are the am of his 5th birthday with his 5 balloons. :) It was an extra exciting morning too because he lost his first tooth the night before while eating a burrito at dinner. So we have a new grin for age 5 too! He really is growing up!
This sweet monkey was blessed with parties this year! Here we are at the Murphy family party, and once all the toys had been opened all 6 Murphy men had a toy in hand and were all trying them out, it was quite cute!
This was a little friend party Jay and I hosted in our backyard. We pretty much let Caeden choose what happened and it involved lots of eating, playing star wars and duck duck goose.

Well Caeden, we sure love you! You are surrounded by so many family members and friends that think you are super special! We have loved these first 5 years and are so excited that we will share in your days to come.

Happy October from our home to yours

Too cute for words!
