GINGERBREAD HOUSES!

Marlyse has a great tradition of making gingerbread houses/celebrating her birthday. This year there was a great turn-out and we celebrated three birthdays on Dec. 19, Marlyse, Jake's Dad Bill, and Kenny's mission buddy Chip. Jake won "most-improved" with his gingerbread house because two years ago he ended up giving up on the icing and making his house out of a cardboard box and some Elmer's glue. This year he made a Malibu mansion with the girls putting on the Swedish fish roof. Brody's house was equipped with a balcony and today he kindly gave it to one of the ladies he and Jake home teach from church.

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!
