We, of course, went to Delta for the 4th of July and enjoyed a nice long weekend down there.
On Thursday night we went to the Styler family party at Dave and Dani's house. Good food, good company as per usual. Jade loved all the fun things to play on and kept trying to hang with the big kids:)
During the little firework show she kept bouncing from lap to lap because she was scared but knew she was supposed to be having fun like everyone else haha. She would just go up to whoever and plop right down.
Finally daring to sit with the kids...soo cute
On the 4th, we went to the parade first thing!
Making her get-a-way after grabbing a candy before this kid could get to it!
The Julian's and my parents set up their pools, but for some reason, Jade was not into it that day so she stayed dry out in the heat! Crazy girl.
Lots of basketball was played throughout the weekend
The Rappleyes came over that afternoon for our family BBQ and party.
What good men, pushing the girls in the heat! I stayed as cool as possible...which wasn't very possible haha
Cousin fun!

This is what our down time looked like! Oh technology! |
We didn't go to the derby this year, which I think may be the first time ever missing it! Sitting on bleachers for 4 hours being 32 weeks pregnant, didn't sound appealing this year. And sadly, it was a good year to miss it because a judge was hit and killed when a car was pushed over the dirt barricade. Such a horrible tragedy for everyone involved.
So that evening we had a fire pit instead! Sweet uncle Gregg sharing his perfectly cooked marshmallow:)
Once it got dark, we went over to the church pavilion to watch the fireworks with the Styler clan. And to devour Aunt Luann's popcorn!
Jadelyn was beyond hilarious that night- it may have been the combo of being up way past bedtime, hopped up on sugar, and just excited about the fireworks and being with family- but she was the craziest social butterfly you've ever seen. We couldn't get her to hold still and watch the fireworks with us at all! And apparently her fear of fireworks from the days before had completely vanished! She was running around to everyone and asking "How are you!?" "Can I sit with you!?" "Hi, Hi, HI!" At one point she was sitting on some random guys lap who was there with his family!
First sparkler!
Just trying to fit in with the big girls!
Saturday morning, Gregg took Luke and Jade on a bike ride. And I just love this picture! It's like we asked them to look unimpressed
Later that day, Tom and I took Jade to the Res! It had also been years since either of us had been out there. It was great to cool off and a few hours well spent! Jade especially loved running up and down the dock and jumping off it into our arms!
On the way back to my parents we got some Leo's for lunch. I took this pic of us because Jade was dancing to our theme song of the weekend - Jammin' by Bob Marley! We probably listened to it 20 times throughout all our driving because when it would end she would say, "Listen to that song again!"
Sunday morning we went to church with my parents and then went up to Oak City to see Kevin! He sure spoils Jade with 4-wheeler rides and playing with the chickens!
Giving the baby chicks a kiss! (yuck haha)
Isn't she so precious!? She just loves them. She would hold it for hours if it let her.
We came home Sunday night! We had a great weekend but it was good to be home again!
Monday night, the Bunkers invited us over to watch some fireworks!
Now I'm just going to photo dump some pics from the last few weeks so that I'm all caught up!
This was from our date night a couple weeks ago! We went to this amazing Mongolian grill here in Spanish Fork called HuHot and then went to see X-men! It was a perfect date! We have been trying to go once a month since April and have so far been successful! But I'm sure things will change once baby girl gets here!
Playdates with Brittany!
Jade and Swayz just chatting on their phones!...
....and with no pockets, the only logical thing to do is put them in your shirts!
A cute pic Tom sent me while I was at work! They made waffles together!
Kisses on the porch
Snowcones!! Classic silly face from Jade!
She can now wear to legit ponytails and I can't handle how cute it is! Playing peek-a-boo with shoes on your face is fine right!?
Here I was at 32 weeks! We are getting there and getting excited! I seriously can't wait to be done being pregnant and hold her in my arms!
And now for some funny stuff from Jadelyn: This girls seriously kills me and has us laughing daily!
-She was desperately searching for her seahorse toy and we couldn't find it anywhere! And with tears in her eyes and the saddest face, she asked, "Maybe a mouscatool can help us find it?" (If you watch Mickey Mouse clubhouse, you will get it)
-She was super mad about not getting her way about something, and made the maddest face and yelled, "Oh my chinny chin chin!!"
-She knows her name, and our names. So when asked what her name is, she says, "My name is Jadelyn Kay Styler!" I don't know why she uses her full name haha! And she knows mom's name is Amanda Styler and dad's name is Tom Styler
-We were eating lunch at my mom's house and I asked her if she wanted some applesauce and her reply (with closed eyes) was "Gosh ya."
-I was playing with her a pretending like I was going to bite her finger, and when I did, she said, "That's terrible!"
-While she was going potty, she pulled the toilet seat lid (which has a green cover on it) forward so it was resting on her back and said, "Look, I'm a turtle!"
-Yesterday she was playing with her toys and I hear her say, "Where the heck is Robin?" (one of her birds)
