A Slight Scare

Sunday December 20th was mine & Larry's 13th
wedding anniversary. Being snowed in, we had a nice,
lazy sunday at home. Can't say quiet because we
did have 5 kids snowed in with us, but they were good.
That is till we decided to watch a family movie around 2PM.
I got up to make some treats when Ruby told me she had something in her ear.
I peek in & sure enough she had something pink jammed into her
small ear canal. I assumed it was a fruit loop because that is what she had been
eating. I know this is a no no, but Larry & I both tried to get this out our selves.
No such luck. Off to the ER they went.
Luckily, Larry had shoveled his car and part of our street earlier in
the afternoon.

Nearly 7 hours in the ER, the docs tried an alligator clamp
with no such luck. Then they got a small syringe with a curved tip
and were able to flush the tiny object out.
Isn't it pretty? Ruby had found a small pink
rock. We are assuming it came from Savannah's
Hermit Crab Miley.

So Ruby and Daddy come home after a long day when we show the
kids what came out of Ruby's ear.
While doing Larry's care, he grinned and told me that he
too had a rock in his ear.
WHAT!? Are you kidding me!?
Larry & I are freaking out because we just had Ruby in
the ER and Little Larry is old enough to know better.
He swore he did not put anything in his ear
and that he has felt the object in their since he
was in the hospital. Seriously. Didn't the docs check his ears
regularly? So, Larry & I get our flashlight out and can
see something shiny. Larry grabbed some
syringes full of water and we tried to flush it out like
they had done in the ER. After several attempts, it did not come
out so Larry had grabbed a pair of tweezers and had
Larry lie perfectly still.
What do you think this little fellow shoved into his ear?
Absolutely nothing. It was a huge glob of ear wax
that had hardened.
Can we say GROSS!?

I hope everyone keeps their ears clean this Holiday Season.

Wow. Great story to save and embarrass them when they're teenagers! So sorry it had to be on your anniversary, though.

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
