By popular demand - The 1st Birthday Pictures! I don't have too much commentary for these; they pretty much speak for themselves. =) Besides, y'all don't come here for my words - you come here for the pics! I did a mix of b&w and color, because I think some pictures almost demand it!
(Left to Right: Isaac, Henry, Clark, Brooks)
Hooray! A family picture - These are hard to come by!
Highlights from 02-02-08 - Did I tell you that Brooks (bottom left corner) stood for about 20 seconds on his own to celebrate his big day?
Diggin' into the Monkey Cupcakes...Love that they're still wearing their socks
Henry's Chocolate Mug
Brooks intently eating each bite
Clark wondering where the Crisco icing disappeared to
Isaac thinks cupcakes are magically delicious
Quadpa and Quadma Myers
Quadpa and Quadma Murray
Myers Madness
Murray/Cronkhite/Fallon/Green Fam (Brad's side definitely has more variety in last names!)
Wonderful, wonderful memories! The day just flew!
Now, for all you "lurkers" - it took me quite a while to download, upload, edit, and post so you better at least leave a comment and tell me which picture is your favorite! =)

de-lurking as asked! and seriously, do you really expect just one favorite?! love them all! thanks for sharing.
Wow that last sentence made me feel like I was in trouble :-) I'm an offical lurker that has never left a comment (for like four months maybe) Love all your posts and I check everyday! The boys look like they had a great birthday and I think my favorite picture is your family shot at the begining :-)
Another lurker...and no, I don't have a favorite. They're all great!!!! God Bless ~ Jenny Maddox ~ www.themaddoxfamily.net
My favorite is the one with all 4 of them with the car....fast forward about 15 years! :) You have a gorgeous and blessed family.
The one of Brooks enjoying each bite. :o) Love it. I do black and white and color too w/my girls. Sometimes it has to be done!
Fellow Indy mom with an *almost* one year old son, delurking to say those are GORGEOUS pictures! Those boys are just so handsome! I love the one with one of the boys touching his grandpa's face!! They look professional!
My bad! Not touching his face, but just looking at him!
Love the one with Brooks standing!!! (also a lurker BUT I've commented before!!)
Your boys are so cute! I love the pic of the boys with their new car!
I admit it...I am a lunker! I love to read about your boys. I like the first picture...the black and white family pic. The boys look so sweet. It looks like you are so comfortable raising your boys and you are doing a great job. Enjoy your second year, it goes by so fast. My kids are now 28 and 24. Times flies!! Take Care and keep up the good blog postings!

Hi Brad and Jen!! I love the picture of the four boys crowded around the cozy coupe car. Too fun! Just wait until they're 16 and fighting over who gets to take the car out for the night! So fun! Your boys are getting so big! Glad you had a fun first birthday party! God is so good!
I love all the pics. It is nice to see family together like that. :o)
These boys are just so handsome! I love the haircuts!
Thank you for sharing :o)
De-lurking. Happy Birthday boys! All of the pictures were adorable. By the way, I LOVE the monkey cupcakes! Too cute!
I confess I am a lurker, and I have been for a year now! I am also a mommy of 4 boys (closely stair-stepped in age, but no multiples). I continue to be amazed at you and how beautifully you do it all!
I have 2 favorite pics: the top middle in the collage with one of the babies and grandpa and then the one of all 4 boys crowded around the car. So, so sweet! All of the pics are great!
Thanks for giving us all a peak into your life and sharing your joy with total strangers... you are an inspiration to moms all over the country!

I'm a guilty lurker! However I think the world of you! I love reading all the updates on your little ones! They are precious! I admire you more than you will ever know!!!!!!!
From a lurker, occasional commenter, I love the picture of the four of them with the Cozy Coupe! They are so cute!
I love the family shot...did you have to drug them? I can't even get a family shot with just three people!
Great pictures.
I am so amazed at how well the boys did for all of the family pictures. Very impressive.
I am very much a family person, so I like the big family shots the most. Those will be treasured by your sons and grandchildren for years to come.
I LOVE the family shot of the 6 of you! Turned out perfect!
Hi, I'm also de-lurking, I love the family photo, you have a beautiful family!

Cute pics! Happy belated birthday quads!
Happy, happy, happy, happy! I like the first family photo.
I'm loving all these "lurker confessions" - cracking me up! Thanks everyone for all the compliments. I'm more in LOVE with these boys every single day!
Well, it's me your friend from East Texas, Pam...and there is no way i could choose just "one" favorite.....they are just too precious! I just look at them in amazement, wondering how you tell them apart when they are just playing and having a good time, yeah, I know you're their mother, and you don't have a problem with it, but it just really amazes me how these four little boys look so much alike! I think it is awesome, they are awesome and you and Brad are awesome parents! Thanks for the pictures and I really enjoy the pictures and your blog!
I work with Brad's mom and love reading your blog! Your boys are so cute and I like the pics of them eating their cupcakes!
Kate Tate
Thanks for sharing.....wonderful, wonderful pictures!! I especially love your first family picture and the top middle one with grandpa and one of the boys...and the car one with all four boys flocking around it. Priceless!! Good Job, Jen... what a photographer!!
Friend in Indiana, Heidi
Beautiful boys!! The family pictures are great - you will cherish those! I love all of the pics, and I happen to love your words also, so full of faith. You are an inspiration.
hello from texas, i'm a lurker who decided to "come out"...i've been reading your blog for months now, i think i found your blog through a friend of a friend of a friend...
ok.jk. it's ME~! thanks for posting pics! LOVED THEM! my fav is the 1st family shot, of course! i know just how hard (few and far between) those are and this one is just precious! what a special day with friends and family!!
(btw, did you get bigger seats for the boys table? or are those the original ones...our table should be coming sometime this week or next week! exciting!)
Great pictures - love the whole family photos - - what a memory! Looks like every one had a great time helping the "little monkeys" celebrate #1. Poor Clarissa (Sandy's daughter) the only granddaughter...but what fun she must be having with them. :) Printing out for mom to see and enjoy!!!! Love ya!
My favorite is the first one of you and all five of your boys.
So yes, I have been lurking for a while now. Your boys are adorable. I love the picture of all four boys around the coupe car. My daughter who will be 3 next month got one for her first birthday. And that brings back such great memories. I know they will love it.
Just another lurker. I love them all, but my favorite is the one in the middle on the bottom row that says "Believe" in the background. I just love that you captured the admiration.
I love all of the pictures....the ones of the boys individually are sweet...I really like the one of just your family at the beginning, too. I'm sure you all had a good day. :-)
Lurker from Dallas...your boys are precious. You are so blessed...
Alright, alright, I've been caught. I'm a lurker. Ran into your blog from a comment on another blog and I have fallen in love! Your posts from the beginning had me laughing and crying. I enjoy them all! Now as for pictures. I LOVE your family photo. Fantastic!
I'm a lurker, but I think I've commented before!
I love the one with just the 6 of you, the one with the boys around the car, and I love the Quadpa and Quadma names! How creative!!
De - lurking to say - love the pic of the boys around the car - but really, can you pic just one?? they're all beautiful! and truthfully the pic of you your sister? and dad all piled on top of each other.. the smile on your face - very happy mom - happy babies... congrats on a beautiful family!

Long time lurker, first time commenter (sp?)...
Love your blog - your family is an amazing blessing and helps to keep me in check while dealing with just one child...
OK - love the picture of all 4 boys in and around the car - too cute!
God bless,

I love "Henry's Chocolate Mug"! Those lips are irresistible! Do you just kiss him all day long?!
Kate in Sunbury : )
Love Love Love all four boys around the red plastic car. What a keeper!
Happy Birthday Boys!
Hello! My name is Lori...and I'm a lurker!
There's no way I can pick one favorite picture! They are ALL SO cute!!
Since you asked so nicely here I am! My favorite is the family picture followed as a close second by the boys eating their cupcakes! They are so cute!
Another lurker. Loved all of them. And adored the Monkey Cupcakes.
Happy Birthday boys! I love that you call their grandparents quadma and quadpa. That is hilarious!
Yes, I too am a long time lurker who had to break my silence to say that I love ALL the pictures, but especially the family picture. I can't believe everyone is actually looking toward the camera!!!!!

Love all the pics in the collage and think the family pics are awesome! So glad you can share such a wonderful milestone with so many loved ones! Once again, Happy Birthday guys and congrats to Mom and Dad for such a successful first year!
You got me - I'm a lurker that found you by way of the Tubre Quads when her babies were born (Jaclyn is in my extended family). Right before she delivered, I read all of your old posts about your babies's first months in the NICU and at home and it gave me hope for what I knew what be a few bumpy months ahead for her quads. I have continued reading ever since! Happy First Birthday to your little ones - they are so precious.

My favoritse are the pictures of the four boys and Mom and Dad. Your little guys are just precious...
I have looked at these pictures several times now and I honstly can not pick a fav. I do like the the small one with grandpa- Yeah for birthdays!!! Trust me it just keeps getting better and better!
Blessings
Another guilty lurker here...Love all the photos! Happy 1st birthday to your little miracles!
How can I pick one? That's NOT fair! Love the family pics. What a special memory they will be. I do think Brooks is awfully cute in his "holding stance" for those 20 seconds he had for himself..
You did a great job. Who had the camera? What a fun day. Thanks for sharing with us!
I'm a lurker as well... I may have posted once or twice before. My favorite pics would be the family pic & the pics with grandparents. They are priceless!
I'm just wondering if you got more than one little coupe car...we have one, I only have two children and they fight over it like CRAZY!!!
Always love kids + icing pictures!!
Yes, I'm a lurker and I LOVE the first picture of your family...so precious!!! My little boy turned 1 today so it's fun to watch your boys birthday celebration. We're partying on Sat! Also, I loved that on their birthday you prayed in the exact time of their birth. My husband and I will be doing that in just 15 minutes!
I love the pictures of Brooke the best. He is by far THE cutest monkey of the bunch! Happy Birthday to all the boys!
how fun!!! love all the pictures. and i LOVE their adorable overalls!!!! the picture with all 4 in the table with their socks still on is my favorite!! what wonderful memories.
Happy 1st birthday to the boys! Lovin the looks of those monkey cupcakes:) The pics were all too cute....couldn't pick a fave.
Loved the collage--it captured the fun of the day in so many great pictures!! Thanks for spending the time to post them all, Jen- they are wonderful pictures!!
Happy Belated Birthday to the Boys!!
Love, Emily Fay

I really like the b and w one of you and your husband and boys. Congrats on first birthday. They are best ones I think.
Jennifer-
I love the Myers Madness family photo. Too bad Danny didn't make it. Haven't seen your family in person for a long time. My family has enjoyed following the progress of your boys for over a year now. Enjoy them quick, they are growing up fast.
Jeff Brenner (your cousin)
oh my what cuties! i see clark? has the same undereye bags that daddy has! they look identical! where did you get your quad table from and about how much does it run? i would like to order one for my sister, she has triplets and a single.
How can you pick of favorite of something this adorable!!!
Hey - since you guys are famous, I think you should figure out a way to do "Brad and Jen plus four" (Since I'm a huge fan of the "other" family with lots of kids! :) I'd totally DVR you!)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "Henry's Chocolate Mug"!!! I'm a sucker for juicy lips & that pic is tooooo dang sweet!!! I love those bibs...where did you get those??? Glad you enjoyed the day...it looked like a blast! Congrats on 1 fabulous year!
-Charity & the Donovan Crew
What great pictures! It is hard to choose a favorite. The family picture is great and I also love the collage. I am so in awe of you and the other quad moms out there, you seem to be doing such a fantastic job!!!
Incredible! what a wonderful look at a wonderful year! Thanks!
The first picture of the whole family, hands down my favorite! Happy Birthday Murrays!! We love your blog and we love all those fabulous pictures!
I can't choose a favourite picture either, they are all lovely. Congratulations to Brooks on his new skill, perhaps he will be able to get himself out next time he falls in the toybox!
Unbelievable, QUADS! WOW congrats to you and Happy Birthday boys! Love the photos and blog updates. Your family is amazing.
Fellow lurker here but Happy First Birthday little dudes, from someone who knew your Uncle "Kirby" in the past...How can you choose just one fave shot..? the big family ones are cool but I love the ones of them chowing on their cupcakes...they are so adorable and grown up w/their big boy 'do's.
God Bless you SIX!
