Board Games

 I decided one Saturday while Jake was gone that I'd teach the kids all about the wonder, the joy, the fun, of garage/yard sales.  I grew up going and thought it would be fun to teach them.  Daddy doesn't care for yard sales (something about being traumatized in childhood having to watch people go through their stuff and not buy it when he was a kid and having their own family sales).  So while Daddy was away, we played!  We played board games we got for 50 cents each!
Malachi did not like yard sales.  He said he was sad for the people who had to sell all their stuff.  He said he didn't want to sell his stuff.  The genetics from his Dad run deep I think!
 We also went to Chick Fil A.  Why you ask?  Well because it rocks, they give a military discount, the kids play for hours, and sometimes when Dad is gone Mommy just doesn't want to make dinner 
(and their bar-b-q sauce is soooo good).
 Malachi LOVES this big wheel tricycle.  He pushes it all the way to the top of our street/hill.  He then takes off, never pedaling, feet up, flying down the road, screaming the whole way down.  He loves it and so does our one neighbor who laughs hysterically at him.  I think it sounds like someone is dying when he loudly screams down the hill but it's really funny to watch as he barrels down the road and at the height of his speed turns off into the grass and bounces to a slow stop.

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!
