Aimi Lark is 13 Years & 3 Months Old

Aimi Lark is so tall now. I look at her and see the future of her, the adult, the grown-up.

This makes me smile and confused all at the same time. She is super talented with hair and knitting. I love her artistic side.

She has a short attention span sometimes with Leila Jin and asks to hold her just to give her back shortly after, but she always wants to come in my room to love on her and give me a hug.

She has been sneaky since she was about 4 years old. She will bring snacks (she loves white cheddar cheezits) in the electronics room while she plays SIMS on her laptop and while these aren’t make or break mistakes it makes me a little crazy.

I sometimes think I need to have less rules because then the rules aren’t broken, but I think she and I are getting to a better understanding of my expectations (that I know are high for my kids).

Aimi Lark is so smart.

Aimi Lark gets such great grades at school.

Aimi Lark is a loyal friend.

Aimi Lark smiles so big and has a caring heart.

I love this sweet teenager of mine!

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!
