Visitors

 We ate, a lot.
We decorated sugar cookies.
 The little kids played together.
 The adults played board games.

 We ate LOTS of cereal.
 Some people went on runs, very LONG runs.
 We had a girls' night while the guys went to the Priesthood Session of General Conference for our church.  It was an "As Seen on TV" (white elephant style) party.  We had 12 ladies and about a million kids.
 Solomon was taken care of during his time of need.
 We had a fancy Sunday breakfast of waffles, fresh fruit toppings, whipped cream, bacon, and eggs.  Jake's choosing and it was a hit.  I overheard Jake saying that he was impressed that nothing got burnt.  I don't recall burning much in our marriage, but I am sure I was a sight in the kitchen juggling all those skillets on the stove.
 The kids didn't like only the adults playing board games so they got in on the action.
 During conference Jake took all the kids with him.  They started out like this,
 and ended up like this.
 These little ones stayed awake.
 Jake's "man cave" in the making.  Right now it's just a shell that holds his TV, XBOX, recliner, and my computer desk.
 More conference cuddling.
 These girls used their "As Seen on TV" boom cube to attach to their smart phone to listen to conference in bed.
 I love this picture of them during general conference, so sweet!
 Settlers with a MEGA expansion set.  It was longer than monopoly.  I made 4 batches of cookies that were quickly devoured.
 Little Link sleeps.
 The kids made this all on their own, they were on a bus.  We then sang "The Wheels on the bus..." song.  It was perfect.
 The Lubbens brought their iPads and the kids were in HEAVEN.  Aimi Lark asked for one, we just might be in trouble now.

 Saying goodbye is never fun, but I know it's always nice to get back home and nice to get your own home back in order after visitors.
 Thanks for coming Shillig 1s and Lubbens!
Love y'all!

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!
