Sadie's Home!

Welcome home Sister Styler!  Sadie returned from her mission to Eugene Oregon on Sept. 17th!  Way to go Sadie, we are so proud of you!  It was so good and surreal to see her!  She looks great and we are happy to have her back!  (Thank you Michelle once again for all these pics!)



 Then whole gang went to Cafe Rio for lunch!




 And because seeing her on Wednesday just wasn't enough... we went down to Oak City on Saturday after I got done with my first day back at the salon since my maternity leave!  Tom did awesome with our 2 girls and we made it down to Oak City.

 Teaching Barbie how to go potty:)



 Lainey actually likes tummy time...at least for a little bit.  Then she swings her legs over and rolls herself over onto her back!

 Cute little Ella!





We love you Sadie!

On Sunday afternoon we went to Delta to visit my parents and Sharice and Gregg also!




We had such a blast this past weekend and it was so nice to get out of the house and out among the living!  Lainey got so snuggled by everyone and Jadelyn had the best time playing with everyone!  So I would say that our first family outings were successful!  We are so thankful to have family that we love spending time with and are grateful for all they do for us!


Here are a few random pictures taken over the past 2 weeks!...

Playing on the tramp!

"Mom, bounce me way high again!"
 Here was Lainey at 3 weeks old!

 Our cute girls in the tub!

 
Here she is at 4 weeks!  We had her weight check and she is now 9.5 lbs!  Way to go girl!  We just love her so much! She is cooing and starting to find her little voice.  She is also getting on a pretty good schedule.
 Baby girl's got skills!  Lifting her head and feet!
 Even though the first couple weeks were tough, things are getting better and going smoother everyday.  I couldn't be happier or feel more blessed!  I love being a momma and am married to my best friend!

Swiss Days and some new pics

On Labor day weekend, Tom and Jadelyn spent the day together with family up in Midway!  I'm sad I missed out on Swiss Days this year, but it was good for me and little 5 day old Lainey to stay home together:)   They went up Saturday morning and spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Probst house.  Michelle took these awesome pictures of all the fun!



















 They had a blast and later that night Trevor and Lashel came over to our house to hang out and meet Lainey.  It was so good to spend some time with them!! We have missed them since they were gone all summer!


Playing the next morning... Jade had so much fun with them and keeps saying, "I wish my cousins would come back!"


And the rest are just some random pictures we have taken over the last couple weeks!

My new life:)

Look at that precious sleeping babe...













Lainey turns 3 weeks tomorrow!  What?!  She is doing great!  She had a major growth spurt the last couple days and was wanting to eat a lot- all the time!  Which is good, because she needs to put on some weight:)  She had her 2 week well check on Monday and weighed 7.5lbs and 20.9 inches long.  So she was not quite up to her birth weight...but after this week of eating like a champ...she weighed 8 lbs last night! YAY!
She is such a good baby.  She loves to be held and just stare right at you.  She is such an alert baby!  She also loves looking at all the windows and lights.  She finally enjoyed a bath!:)  She eats every 2-3 hours and does a 4 hour stretch at night.  The good thing is, when she wakes up to eat at night, that's it, she eats and goes back to sleep until the next feeding.  So my sleep deprivation has been getting better.  It's amazing how much we already LOVE HER!!
Jade is still adjusting:)  We were hoping it would be easier on her than it has been.  Overall, she is still her happy, silly, spunky, crazy self...just with lots of extra fits thrown when we can't give her exactly what she wants, exactly when she wants it! She is slowly but surely understanding and throwing less fits.  We try to maximize our one on one time with her and take her out to play and make sure she still feels special:)
We are all figuring it out:)  I LOVE my little family!  Life is good!!
