Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

We had a great Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with Ily’s family this year.
Along with her parents we got to spend time with her dad’s parents,
Lloyd and Dot, her dad’s brother, Ron, her mom’s mother, Anne-Mari,
and her mom’s brother, Erick. A fun crowd and of course the food was
good too. Take a look at the pictures
and movies from Dagmar’s new digital camera!

New Online Photo Album

I’m trying out a new online photo album. It’s something I’ve downloaded, it’s called Gallery, and I think it’s pretty nice. To see the Murdock gallery click on the Photos tab above to check it out. The coolest
feature is that anyone who gets the password from me can upload photos
to the gallery, either from the web page, or by using the gallery
remote software. Pretty slick, so if you want to upload photos to our
gallery let me know and I’ll help you do it.

Snow in Vancouver, WA!?!

You better believe it, snow fell, and actually piled up on the ground
here in Vancouver, WA. Check out the pictures.

Halloween Pictures

Allright, I actually didn’t post these pictures on the website until
Nov. 22-ish, but they are finally here. We trick-or-treated at HP
again this year, as well as at the ward Halloween party. Isaac was a
horse and Ily was a Mexican Cowgirl, and I had a cowboy shirt but
nothing else to go with it, so I didn’t bother. We’ve got a few pictures.

New Baby Ultrasound Pictures!

In case you haven't heard, Ily is pregnant and is due January 29th. We had the 18 week ultrasound on Friday and everything looked great. We also found out that it’s a boy! We got to take home a couple pictures of the new baby’s head and you can see them here. This new baby’s fetal nickname will be forthcoming shortly (for those of you who didn’t know, or don’t remember, Isaac’s fetal nickname was Zeke).

Camp Pioneer (Scout Camp)

Bryan is serving in the ward as assistant scoutmaster and was able to
attend scout camp at Camp Pioneer (east of Salem, OR, in the beautiful
Cascade Mountains) from Wednesday thru Saturday. Camp fires were
prohibited this year but he was still able to come home smelling like
smoke thanks to the the forest fires that came to within 10 miles of
the camp. He had a good time with the boys and took some pictures (link to new troop 439 website).

Nolan Wright came to visit

In an effort to wean Nolan off of the great Utah skiing slowly he flew in from Texas for the weekend for a ski trip. Nolan, Lane Molen, Travest Story, Mike Trionfo, and I went skiing at Brighton on
Saturday. It was another beautify sunny day, with a little more snow
to cover the rocks. After the skiing trip we went to a little Korean
restaurant here in Provo and met Sherisa (Nolan’s sister) and Ami. Ily and Isaac came to dinner too. Nolan brought his fancy digital
camera and took some pictures and videos. You can see them on his website by clicking here.

Alta ski trip

In order to celebrate our return to the tops of the mountains we took
a ski trip today to Alta. There was just enough packed Utah Powder to
cover almost all the rocks, the sun was shining, and we had a great
time. Melinda, and Mike and Nikki Trionfo came with us. It was a fun
first day of skiing for the year. We even took some pictures!

A Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a move back to Provo

We spent Christmas with my family in Kennewick, our last bit of relaxation before packing up the last of our stuff, putting it in either storage or my parents’ van, and driving up into the Mountains
of Utah. Luckily the drive was mostly uneventful and we are now getting settled in our apartment. Don’t forget to check out the pictures.
