Sadie's Mission farewell and Casper's baby blessing


 We had a really great weekend with the Styler clan! 
We went down Saturday afternoon after I got home from work and went to Kevin's for a barbeque!

Jade loved her new phone from Uncle Darren and Aunt Dani...obviously!  And we finally got to meet our new nephew Casper! He was born February 10.  He is soooo cute!



 






Thank goodness we have Trevor (assisted by Lashel and Koleman) to take care of the spiders for us!  Maybe you had to be there but this was pretty funny:)
 












 Aw!  Brothers and babies!
 




 Finishing off the afternoon shooting Kevin's guns:)  John won the shooting contest and $50!


 Then we all made our way over to Michelle's
Jade loved her playroom and getting into everything!
 

 Ping pong tourney...of course!


 It was so fun to be able to all be together for one last hoorah before Sadie left:)









 Then Sunday morning we got this little princess all ready for church for Sadie's farewell and Casper's baby blessing!  It was an awesome Sabbath day to celebrate two great events in the family!
 Sadie will be serving her LDS mission in Eugene Oregon!  Her talk in sacrament meeting was one of the best farewell talks I have ever heard!  She spoke on the atonement and I really learned a lot from her and will keep her thoughts with me for a long time.  We are so proud of Sadie and love her so much!  She is going to kill it in the mission field!


 Darren gave a beautiful blessing and we are so happy for these two...now three!





All the Styler kids and families:)

 Kiddos and Papa Kevin


 The whole entire family!
 

She thought she was so big running around with the big kids







 After the luncheon, we went to Michelle's and Jade took the longest nap of her life!  She was pooped!
Beautiful momma and Casper







 Then things got real..  And we had to say our goodbyes to Sadie :(

 TEARS :(  We are really going to miss her for 18 months!  But she couldn't be doing a better thing and we are so proud of her.  I love you sister!

 In unrelated news.....
A few days ago Jade had her 12 month checkup (including vaccinations..boo) and she is doing great!  She weighs 21.13 lbs (75%) and 29 in (50%)
