Drill with Daddy

 These years have been coined, "the hotel years" as it seems we are always in a hotel so that we can maximize our time together.  If Daddy is in the country we want to be with him!  The kids had to potty so we went in the armory with Daddy and then waiting while he gathered all the things he needed to head to another armory.  When we got to our hotel our room wasn't ready yet so Daddy exposed the kids to some classic music videos on his cell phone thanks to YouTube.
 When we finally got in our room we were a little overwhelmed because it was pretty much ALL bathroom.  There was a huge tub, separate sink/toilet area, a stand up shower, and your own sauna. 
 They gave us enough toiletries to bathe our family at least 5 times with and towel shaped swans were too fun not to mess up.
 We laid around in bed for a good part of the day and once the sun was up and we had enjoyed breakfast we headed to the pool.
 The pool was short lived because someone always has to use the bathroom.  Even if we make them all go beforehand, someone ALWAYS has to go.  I have to remind myself "it won't be like this for long" and that they will be all grown up before I know it.  I have loved every stage of motherhood and do my best to embrace the now and never wish for days ahead.
 They all sat in the sauna to get warmed up post swim.  They were so funny in there.
 We checked our of our hotel and found things to do well into the night when Daddy was finally released from "soldier work."  
Next stop...
San Diego!

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!
