Hurst Family News

I can't get over how much my wee #3 looks like his oldest brother.  See?  And he's not so wee.  He's trying to walk and will be one in 17 days.  THIS boy is almost 5 and will be starting school in two weeks. CRAZY!  "Mom, let's take pictures of each other taking pictures." I don't know how to get the pictures from Ian's camera however.  He inherited it from his great grandpa.   Now here's my sweet Landon Boy.  Growing by leaps and bounds.  Knows his ABCs, 123s and can recognize that L is for Landon that's good enough for me!  Here's one of the FEW pictures I took from our Family Reunion. We hiked Donut Falls and I had to stop to feed Charlie and got left behind.  (But I wasn't going to take him up there anyway) The rest of the gang headed UP the falls and even waded in the icy cold pool.    Droop Shot.   This is often how my boys play together.  Ian on the game boy but next t...

We went camping with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Nikki, Uncle Tyler and Brocky Boy last weekend.  This time we actually stayed the night.  It was fun but an air mattress at this stage of pregnancy is less than ideal.  We didn't stay the second night. 4 Wheeler ridin' and shootin' and playin' in the dirt wore the boys out. (Let me clarify: the grownups were shooting--the boys were assigned to find all the treasure AKA the shells) Tired Boys:  I spy with my little eye: Uncle Tyler up a tree. So that was then and this is now... I've been working on Wee #3's quilt since apparently I have time. This is one of the original iterations of it.  Tried too hard to be symmetrical on the blocks at first.   THIS is what it is going to be: It's a darn good thing I took a picture of it because as soon as I turned my back, Lando had messed up 3 of the squares.  No biggie- referencing my picture I restored it.  Well then I transferred the p...
