Our Family Roadtrip

We have never really gone on a SUPER long road trip before with the kids. It was really an experience. I think it went better than I could have ever expected. I know it was due to Jake's patience and our perseverance. Jake made sure to get the girls treats when we stopped

and get them out to stretch their legs.

Also for the FIRST time in our marriage on a road trip we were able to do our driving the way Jake prefers and that is in shifts. Normally I just drive all night and he drives all day but this trip we did a few hours each off and on. It worked out perfectly. When we were about an hour from our destination we stopped at an AMAZING park and let the girls play. Jake and I both got a little sick feeling from the HEAT and HUMIDITY that hit us after 30 hours in a non-stop air conditioned vehicle. It was nice to let the girls play at a park without wood chips! Upon our arrival to Beaumont, TX we visited with my mom in the hospital and just ended up spending the night! We were just too tired to make it the 30 minutes home. I am glad we have a month to recuperate til we have to drive back.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

We pulled off our best Halloween! Possibly ever! Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully. He even had the cutest song he sang. I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
