A Birthday Party For Xander

With all our company here, we decided to celebrate
Xander's birthday one week early.  He was thrilled
to death to have all these people here for his 7th.

Xander wanted a castle cake.  Larry Denzil decorated 
it for me.  Xander chose the sprinkles.

"Let's get this party started."

This is what happens when you let Uncle Ben have 
a baby.  Look at little Emalene's chocolate
covered face.  She was in heaven.

A party is never a party without a little Jason around.

Look at how sweet Denzil is, patiently waiting for cake.

"The Talk"  We decided that when our boys are 
baptized, they will receive their first pocket
knife.  We bought Larry a nice little pocket knife 
and also got the boys a small swiss
army knife for cub scouts.



Here, Larry Denzil is showing them the knives
and going over all the rules.


Ethan's pure joy and excitement over these new
knives makes me a bit nervous.

Here is Ruby Isabella.  This is what she did during
the entire loud party.  She just felt so terrible.

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
