On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

On saturday, the boys had their first pine wood derby
experience.  They were so excited and really had
no clue what it was all about.  Here is Larry Denzil helping
them paint their cars.  Larry Denzil cheated and bought
the already cut kits at AC Moore.  This is what happens
when you procrastinate to the night before and don't really 
know what to design with your block of wood.

Here is their painted cars.  Larry named his
camo truck and Xander was calling his
speedy wheels.
Here the boys are checking their cars in.
Xander was so thrilled that his was exactly 5 ounces.

All the derby cars from pack 57.  I think everyone
did an amazing job.
Xander got to race first.  He won for
the tiger cubs.  He was smiling from ear to ear.



That is Xander's car in the lead.


Larry getting ready for his race.
Larry too went undefeated for the wolf pack.
And the winner is......
Here are the 3rd, 1st and 2nd place winners
overall.  Not bad for their very first pine wood derby.
Xander was a little unhappy because
Larry's car beat his.  He told me that Larry made his
car heavier. Just so you know, Larry and
Xander's cars were neck and neck
in their race, but it is all who wins
I suppose.
That is brotherly love for you.

I have some video, but I won't bore you with that.
I hope everyone had a marvelous weekend.

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
