Another school year: McKenna 17, Kellen 15, Calihan 8.
McKenna goes out on her last first day of HS! I can’t believe she’s a senior.
Kellen’s 1st day of HS!
And probably the one child who was the MOST EXCITED about going back to school, Calihan starts 3rd grade.
Happy 14th Birthday Kellen Carter Murphy! So proud of u and how hard u work when nobody is watching. A new adventure awaits you and I can’t wait to see it. Your Dad loves you more than you’ll ever know!

Thank you
@ChuckyHepburn
for the nice compliments and words of encouragement u gave to my son Kellen at his game tonight. U made his day and were the talk of the ride home! Thank you for giving him someone to look up to 🏀
I love watching him play! He makes mistakes, but plays hard. He plays the game the right way & tries to make the right play, but I’m most proud that after the last game the opposing coach stopped him & said how great he played & that they were trying to stop him. Proud Dad! 💚🏀
So proud of Kellen & his performance at the CC meet today! He had a PR for his mile by 10 seconds, but he forgot they had 400 meters left to run! Haha! Lesson learned & finished around 8:20-8:30 range. Not bad for just giving CC a shot 2 weeks ago. I love that he likes 2 compete!
Congratulations

When ur 5 & big sis & brother have games every weekend u would think u would get sick of the gym. Not Calihan! Asked to go early before her K-1st practice because she needed to get some shots up. We have now worn our

Day late but so proud of Calihan & her teammates winning the 3rd Grade Silver division. It was hard to play with a new team, but she made friends quick (missing some girls from pic) but I love how hard she plays. She’s wired differently when she’s on that court. Great job Cali!
When there’s a track meet named after your Grandpa u better b able to compete n T&F! Kellen won 80 hrdls, 600 m, softball throw, & 2nd n the 100! I’m sure Papa Murph had his whistle going as Kellen came from way back n the 600! His buddies below scorched the track for Clarmar too
