Swimming through Social Distancing

The pool.

I love this thing and I rarely even get in.

I sit outside with my work laptop while they enjoy!

The backyard looks like a jungle and someday I want to tame it, but right now I don't even seem to care anymore. Leila Jin LOVES getting in with them (until someone splashes her) and they just love having her try out new things. Yesterday, it was surfing she tried out.

On Saturday we had SO MUCH RAIN and I was working and had to figure out how to eject the water on my own since Jake is gone. Good thing I watched him backwash it the last time he was home from Army work so I was able to do it with Malachi's help. PHEW! That was intense. After flooding in Hurricane Harvey and Tropical Storm Imelda at our Vidor house flooding is always on our minds it seems.

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!
