Hurst Family News

Well I don't know for sure if his name was Jack.  His last name might have been Nielson.  A man, Somebody Nielson came by a few weeks ago and said this was the house his grandfather lived in (and I think built).  He confirmed that the floor in the living room is indeed the original flooring--I'll have to get a better picture because the craftsmanship is beautiful.  This grandson that stopped by (old enough to be 10 or 15 years my parents' senior) enjoyed seeing the house again.  Then just last week when we were finishing the screws on the deck and cutting open windows another old resident came by.  She was tickled to see that someone was fixing up the place.  Her mom bought it from my husband's grandpa (who bought it and flipped it some 20 years ago).  People from all over town have commented on it.  I'm sure glad to see that our hard work is appreciated by the community.  I'd love to get the stories these walls could tell. (Let's be ho...

I love The Piano Guys. Southern Utah Scenery. Piano. Cello. Two guys obviously having a blast making music. What could be better?

That would be my BOMB MOM on the left:  (Little Seester gave her that shirt.) My Mom and Sister decided to come visit me since I whined enough  and I'm so glad they did. It was wonderful to visit and be with one another again.  The boys were so excited to see Oma that they ran to greet her when we all met up at the pizza place.  I'm only adding these FEW pictures because perhaps my madre will blog about it and I don't want to be a thunder stealer.    Christie and I decided that we never have enough pictures of us together so we did a little photo shoot- the shirt she made from left over fabric from the skirt I made from the fabric I won .  This last one was our very best one- I will be ordering prints ASAP.  And last but not least- isn't this the cutest little tie-dye wearing, mohawk sporting wee one ya ever did see? By the way: the boys are watching Shaun the Sheep (from the makers of Wallace and Gromit- love it) and I love...

The shingles come and go (well the pain and complications) Thankyouforasking. In between bouts (though I think they might trigger worse symptoms) we have been enjoying the sunshine.  Lando was so tired but tried to hold on.   Even the cousins came to play.  Firstborn thought it was funny to feign sleeping.  You decide...  Happy boy.   There's my Chollie Bucket. Charlie's favorite toy/food: PAPER. Drives me nuts.  The kids have gotten progressively worse on the eating everything front. Ian wouldn't even put stuff in his mouth- we didn't have to worry about him.  Landon wouldn't swallow anything (food even was known to stay stashed in his cheek even through naptime-ew.) But Charlie. Oh my.  Anything and everything straight into his mouth- and he manages to swallow some of it I'm sure.  So mostly I'm trying to recover, following Charlie around saying "Charlie what are you eating?!" (Of course e...
