Father Son Campout 2008





Well, last weekend was a lot of fun for all. Larry Denzil and the boys went on their first ever father son campout. Larry's coworker came along with one of his boys as well and had a really good time. We had 3 dads from our branch show up. Larry Denzil came to the realization that he is a lot older than he used to be and can't sleep just anywhere. He came home sore all over. The boys came home exhausted. They stayed up late and woke up early and had a very full saturday. Apparently they went watersliding down a rock and went to a fish hatchery. Xander said it was really cold and little Larry says he almost drowned. Interesting. All things Larry Denzil failed to mention.

Savannah, Ruby and I went out to eat and watched Enchanted. Savannah is so in love with that movie. She told me she wished I was pretty like the princess. She also wished I could sing like her. Isn't that a wonderful mothers day present?

For mothers day, Larry Denzil did all the cooking. It was a wonderful treat. Unfortunately, he did none of the cleaning.

On sunday evening, we had a terrible wind storm here. Our power went out around 1AM and did not kick back on until 4:15PM Monday. Ethan and I were so bored. We went to McDonalds for a late breakfast and hung out at Sams. Then we went to the school and I honestly thought my power would be on by then. It was not. And the bad part was that it was too windy to play outside. There were large tree branches all over our yard and our shed door was literally ripped off. Our neighbors had numerous shingles blown off. And on the main road, there were 3 large trees uprooted. We drove around a bit and it was scarey to see all the trees that had fallen and some trees looked as though the tops had been ripped off. And a railroad crossing arm was bent over from the strong winds. Larry Denzil said it looked like a tornado came through.

Today we are getting our Apple computer. Larry Denzil is so excited.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I thought it looked cold and thought it was because I'm used to Utah weather, but I guess it was cold. I'm glad everyone came home safe and happy.

Girls Camp

 This year, Savannah got to attend her very first girls camp. Here she is with Morgan, another first timer.  Not sure how Savannah would have done without Sister Skroski. She showed Savannah the ropes and really took care of her in my absence.  Savannah all excited to leave. I can only guess what these last few pictures are. Savannah had a great time and Larry was there as a priesthood chaperone so she was not completely alone. This summer was a summer of firsts for my girl. She had her first girls camp, her first youth Temple trip and her first talk in sacrament. Wow!

Merry Christmas

Tennessee Adventures with the Hurts

 This summer, Ethan was able to go to Denzil's for 2 weeks. Of course he had a blast, and came back a new boy. He learned to ride a bike, and came home darker if that s at all possible. To drop Ethan off, we met Jason & Sheba , in Knoxville. Sheba's GPS found this neat park in rather a shady area of Knoxville. Emalene is a good model, always willing to pose when I say smile.  Here is my little Ruby in deep concentration.  Ethan did not even look back when he left me.  Gator with the big boys.  Emalene in her favorite color, and Ruby in hers. How cute are they?  A group shot at the drop off.  These monkey bars, kept the kids entertained for a while. Each one tried to make it across. Not sure any succeeded.  Here is Gator trying to reach.  Finally he found a sucker.  Look at him hang by himself.  Denzil looks very unsure about this. We thought we could get a group shot, but the wheel kept spinning and little arms got tired.  The two amigos.  A group shot at t
