Jadelyn's 1 year pictures

I love them:)  She is precious!  Thank you soo much Brittany for agreeing to take them for me!!  You did amazing!  Especially with this hyper, wiggly child! 
I can't believe my little baby turns 1 on Saturday! 

 Jade,
We love you more than you will ever know.  Thank you for making me a mom!  We have learned by diving in head first how to be parents, and I'm sure many mistakes were made but we are doing our best!  You make us laugh and smile everyday and are so proud of how smart, happy and strong you are.  You are learning and growing every day and becoming a toddler.!..no longer a baby, which is bittersweet, but we are loving watching you evolve and gain your own little personality.  We hope that you will always know and remember how much your parent's love you!.  We are here for you, no matter what!  Your Heavenly Father loves you, knows you, and wants the best for you.  We know that if we stay strong as a family and in the gospel, we will be unstoppable!

 This first picture is my favorite:) 

 These last two pics, Brittany took a few weeks ago and I love them:)

Michelle's 50th birthday & Luke's baby blessing

We had a really fun family-filled weekend!  

Tom's sister Sadie stayed with us Thursday and Friday night.  It was great to have some good quality time with her before she leaves for her mission in a few weeks!  We are really going to miss her!  I love having her here and that she is always up for going on a walk with me and our deep chats:)  While Tom was at work on Friday we bonded and got our sweat on together to some Jillian Micheals workout!  Jade really liked having Aunt Sadie around too and Marley loves her!  And for those of you who know Marley, know that he is very selective on who he loves!

On Saturday night we celebrated Michelle's big 50th birthday (which she doesn't look a day over 30!!) with a surprise party!  She was definitely surprised!..a few happy tears of hers were shed...victory! Larry did a great job planning it and getting her there with no idea!  P.S. No one better ask me to ever plan or organize any sort of surprise because I almost blew it like 5 times and I didn't even directly talk to Michelle!!  It was also Grandpa Probst birthday so it was awesome to be able to combine both!  Happy birthday to two amazing people that we are so thankful for everyday to have in our lives!  It was so great to be there with most of the family (we missed Trevor & Lashel and Darren & Dani) and Aunt Karen and her family came too! 

 LOVE YOU MOMMA!!

 Love you Grandpa and Grandma Probst!

Then on Sunday morning my sister Sharice and Gregg blessed their little baby Luke!! He is sooo cute!! (Even in his capri's that are supposed to be pants:)   It was such a great blessing and so fun to be with the Miller family!  Our family (Especially Sharice and Gregg's) has been truly blessed!  On Jan 1, in the state that Sharice was in, there was no way anyone could have convinced me, that in a couple months, she would be almost healed, looking amazing, and blessing their baby!  (Who he, himself, is a little miracle!)  So I think this blessing day was definitely a little extra special.  We are so happy for them and that they are now past all the scary stuff and able to experience and enjoy their new life as a family of 3

 Jade was showing off her walking skills

 The brunch was delicious!  Bagels, fruit, and skillet eggs and potatoes!!  Thanks guys!

 I love this little interaction between Tom and Jade:)

 I love this picture of my beautiful mom and Luke! (minus the paper plates :))

 Thankfully Jade is getting better at long car rides!

  So maybe you had to be there like Tom and I to appreciate these pictures....but it was soo cute and so funny!  Her latest obsession is our hand towels that hang on the oven.  She loves pulling them down so she can play with them and also so she can see her reflection in the oven window.  Then it is the same vicious cycle...she pulls them down, laughs/plays, kisses her reflection, then she will inevitably drop them, try to pick them up and they will get stuck under her feet....................

 AND THIS IS THE RESULT....

Don't worry, she's fine...:)

 I watched Swayzie for a few hours the other day and the girls had a blast:)

Deep convo's over marshmallow mateys

 OUR BIGGEST NEWS IS THAT JADELYN IS REALLY WALKING!!  I'm officially calling it official as of today.  She is really doing it all on her own, with no incentive, and with no help!  It is the cutest thing and nearly impossible to get a non blurry shot of the cuteness

 She also rocked her very first pony tail a few days ago

 And just some random cute pictures...and shocker, she is in her pj's

Maybe I should be a dog photographer...I mean look at this picture of Jov!
