An EXHAUSTING Sunday

We were 4/4 for our kids being brought to us.  It was overwhelming.  I was busy all during church so they would come get me and then I would take the kid to Jake.  I'm sure the High Priest were thinking,
"I don't miss those days"
each time I pulled Jake out of class, or gave him "the eyes" through the crack in the cultural hall door.
When I brought him a wailing Mali Su because the heart her teacher drew on her picture was "too big" we both just had to laugh for a second at the hilarity of the situation as Jake said, "this makes 4/4 right?"
Aimi Lark had big crocodile tears from not getting chosen for a game in Singing Time.  Jake told me, "that comes from my side, I remember not getting picked after being so reverent."
I subbed in Malachi's class today and he pulled the silent anger thing on me and I just took him to Dad.
I spent time in the hall with a fit pitcher named Solomon and as I brought him back inside from trying to escape he threw his head back in protest and whacked it on the door which brought on more tears right before nursery.

Let's share things that were GREAT about church today.
I got to sub/help in sunbeams today and used my nice voice the entire exhausting hour but loved it.
I had so many people ask me about doing their hair.
I got lots of compliments on my hair (Jake did my roots last night and he rocked at it).
Malachi gave an AMAZING talk in primary and I got to bring my teenagers in there for it.
I teach a great (quiet) group of 16-18 year olds.  One of which just got baptized last week and she shared her conversion story with us.  I love hearing a great conversion story!
Jake shared his testimony in sacrament meeting and even though I was in the hall for it I still loved hearing that man of mine speak.
The kids were overall very good this week during sacrament meeting which is always nice.
I love our ward even if I still feel "new" in it.
Did I mention I teach an amazing group of teenagers?  I love my calling.

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!
