Even on the Sundays Jake doesn't have drill it takes a lot of effort on every one's parts to have a successful church experience.

I think I did OK today.

We were out the door on time,
stopped and had Josh take a picture (or 5),
everyone went to their classes,
I spent (lots of) time in the foyer with Malachi(because he insisted upon trying to eat the microphone cord in both Relief Society and Sunday school).

I can't leave out the part where I attempted to share my testimony (on the first Sunday of each month, sacrament meetings are set aside for the bearing of testimonies by the membership) and BOTH girls enthusiastically joined me on the stand (stage). I was actually sharing my testimony of raising my children and being a mother and thought to myself, "I'm sure the congregation is thinking that I need another child like I need a hole in my head." Needless to say I got flustered as the girls pulled out tissues next to me and I hurried and finished up (I'm sure making no sense at all).

We are home now and I feel great about my accomplishment,
3 hours of church with 5 kids = I'm ready for a nap (that isn't likely to happen).

    You are a woman that Heavenly Father is soooo proud of...or I should say, sooo well pleased with. What a beautiful family.

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!
