Date with My Girls to EPCOT

 The girls and I met up with my friend, Laura, from church.  We got to EPCOT first thing and were one of the first ones through the gate.  We headed right over and got fast passes for TEST TRACK.  We then headed and met some characters with our friends.  Mali Su kissed each of them on the nose.  Looking at these pictures now I'm tearing up, thinking how they still find this exciting to hug and meet the characters and I know that this time in their lives, where this is exciting, will slowly fade away.  Well, when meeting Mickey isn't the most exciting thing we'll move on to BIG ol' roller coasters at Universal, gotta enjoy life at each stage, right?
 Pluto was hilarious!
 Such a playful dog!
The people that are this height, to fit in these character suits still gets me, I'm 5'3" so they must be short!
 After riding NEMO we checked out the aquariums at the end of the ride.  There was a big ball at the bottom of the dolphin tank but Aimi Lark was convinced it was a giant egg of some sort, maybe for a BIG SHARK she said.

 At TEST TRACK the girls designed their car.
 Well I should say, their truck.
 I was videoing them during the ride and had no idea it was going to blast off from 0-60mph at the end.  Their reactions were HILARIOUS.  Aimi Lark yelling in absolute fear and Mali Su screaming, "THIS IS THE BEST RIDE EVER!" (over and over).
 We got to be the people to OPEN UP the Coca Cola store where they have FREE sodas from around the world to test out.  Since the girls were the store openers they got "coke smoothies" as Aimi Lark called them.
 They got their picture taken and their names to be sent over to Mickey Mouse.
 We headed out after a few hours to grab some lunch for the boys and Daddy before his final.  We love Jimmy John's sandwiches.  The kids DEVOUR them and I love their peppers.
I realized yesterday Jake takes the kids on way more dates than I do and lately I'm realizing that needs to change.  I need to split the kids up and spend time with them.  I guess maybe I think because I'm with them all each and every day he needs to take them out, but dates are different.  Kids are different on dates, their sweet little personalities shine through and I love interacting with them all together each day and on dates.  We are so blessed!

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!
