Graduation Party #1

Luke and Kaylene walked for graduation at BYU today. They had planned a picnic at the park but after the weather turned cool and wet we decided to have it at our clubhouse instead. The party got started a little late so to pass the time some played pool,
some put on pretend make-up while singing Disney songs,
and others played SIMON SAYS (Mali Su was excellent at this game).
Once the graduates arrived the party really got started. I laughed when I saw William like this, now he has protection from Malachi's poundings. Malachi did listen extremely well today, I was impressed, when I said "No" he stopped.
This little car was the source of MANY fights among the children. Malachi is definitely a little boy. He LOVED this car!
(oh and I major shout-out to my cousin Coty, she sent Malchi all the spectacular clothing items he has been wearing these days)
I guess our conversations just weren't interesting enough for little Atticus
or Jordan for that matter.
She stripped off her clothes leaving only her red boots, stockings, and swim diaper.
Then came PICTURE TIME!!!
some of the Shillig cousins:
L-R: Malachi, William, Aimi Lark, Jordan, Mali Su, and Atticus

EVERYONE!

Now we are all exhausted and trying to get some rest before grad party #2 later tonight.
Luke and Kaylene leave for Washington anytime now. We are so excited for them and their new adventure that will take them to AZ (after a summer visit in WA with the Neads) where Luke will teach and attend school for his Master's in Education. We love y'all Shillig 5s!

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!
