Deep Ellum, Texas

I had read about an area full of murals and street art.  Solomon loves art so I thought we'd take a drive to Dallas to check it out.  Jake works 6/10s right now so I try to fill Saturdays with outings that I think wouldn't necessarily be his cup of tea.  Staying busy and "living everywhere we live like a tourist" keeps me sane and brings me joy.  I love these kids, even if they bicker more than ever lately and it makes me want to pull my use my "mean mom" voice ALL the time.







 When they saw the "when pigs fly" mural they were super happy and kept trying to imitate it.  They also tried to imitate the other murals we saw too.  That explains the wonky pictures.



















We went and got some "Trailer Cakes" that I also read about being a neat place to try.  We got mini-cupcakes this time.  We had some lunch and then took naps.  The kids just finished swimming and now I'm ready for dinner with Daddy for Veterans Day.

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!
