Kim's baby shower & Jade's 2nd Birthday!

Saturday was insane!  It was such a fun and busy day at the Styler house!  

At noon, Michelle and I hosted a baby shower for Kimberlie who is due late next month!  I'm so excited for her and Jon and to meet their little Naomi:)  The shower went really well and Michelle planned awesome food and decorations.  We did a children's book themed party and played some fun shower games.  It was so great to see so many family and celebrate Kimi!  Michelle also took these great pictures which I stole

 This is the playmat and bibs we gave them:)

 CONGRATS Kim!!  We love you guys!

And later that afternoon we had Jadelyn's birthday party!  She has a lot of people that love her, that's for sure!!  We are so grateful that so many family and friends were able to make it!  I was definitely a little ticked at Mother Nature though...the weather was supposed to be 63 and clear..perfect for a Barbecue....but unfortunately, it ended up being about 50 with a freezing cold wind!:(  But thankfully our guests tolerated it and the party went on!

Picture overload time!!.....Between Michelle's pics, Tasha's, and my camera (which my awesome friends passed around all night taking pics for us) there are plenty!!

The Grill Master!

This picture made me laugh:)  A picture of me taking a picture...

Of these 3 handsome men in fact!

See how much fun they were having!?!  (no, this was not staged.  ok maybe it was)

We did some giant bubbles that the kids loved (though the wind didn't let them last long)

We also did a little spring craft!  They loved putting the stickers on their foam boards:)

I don't know who took this random picture of Jovi, but I like it:)  The dogs loved all the dropping food from all the kids plates!

And, of course, a big hit was Jadelyn's new trampoline!  That's what Tom and I got her for her birthday and she loves it just as much or more as we thought she would!!

Then we all crammed inside for cake and ice cream!

Grandma Probst and I getting the princess all ready!

Her blank stare, realizing all these people were singing to her!

You can't tell, but she was actually blowing and she got them all! (With a little help from me:))

Just some pictures of my honey being cute and the cutest uncle to little Teaghann:)

Present time!  Holy cow, she got so spoiled!  Thank you to everyone again!  She truly loves all her gifts and we really appreciate them.

Thank you again everyone that came!  Hopefully you all had a good time despite the chaos and the chilly day!  I know we did:)

To finish off the night, Jade put on her "beautiful princess dress"

Sunday was her actual birthday!  And I guess when you have to go to church on your birthday, I think a cupcake tutu dress is appropriate!:)  Thanks Gammy!  So she went to church like this!  Sunglasses and all (she WOULD NOT take them off!)

You can't really tell but she is holding up her 2 fingers for being 2!

Onto some more exciting stuff!  (If you are still reading this novel)
Here is a 16 week picture...

And we found out today that we are having a GIRL!!!!!!!!!

We are so excited and cannot wait to meet her and for Jade to have a little sister!!!  Life is so good:)

Almost another month gone by...

This past Sunday the adorable twins were blessed!  They both looked so cute and are getting so big:)  It was so great to see them and cuddle them!   Roger gave them both beautiful blessings and it was nice to spend the afternoon with my family.

Thank you for the great luncheon Tasha and Roger!  Love you guys!

 
Grandma duty....

I just love this picture of my handsome dad!  He just looks great:)

And the best grandparents in the world...

And on the way home Jade was just chillin...but couldn't decide if she liked my sunglasses right side up or upside down:)

Time is just flying by!  We have been busy and loving life!  Jadelyn is so smart and always cracking us up with the things she says and does!  She loves going to the store with me and I made the mistake of letting her in one of the GIANT car carts in Maceys and now every time she points and begs, "Jadelyn got to drive da car!"  (She uses her full name a lot now, which is funny because we don't.  She will even correct us sometimes if we say 'Jade', she'll say "No, I'm Jadelyn."  

She totally takes on the character of whatever she thinks she looks like.  For example, in this pic I was just seeing if all her hair could go in ponytails yet and I hadn't finished yet so the ponytails were sticking straight up and she yells, "I'm a cat!"  She wouldn't let me fix it and the rest of the night she was meowing.

And if she has anything pretty on like a bow or a dress, she is "Princess Jadelyn"

I babysat Trey the other day and just look at these little nuggets!  Cutest picture ever:)

Swayzie and Jade make the best team of doctors around!  They had Swayzie's Doc Mcstuffin's kit and were giving everyone checkups....

...obviously they were the most concerned about Tom!  It was so funny, Jade kept poking him with tools and saying, "and check right here (poke), Oh sorry Dad!"

Just some cute pictures of our little cheeser!

And this picture just makes me bust up laughing!  I mean, come on, how cute is that?! So funny.  We went to dinner with our friends Kenzi and Nate and had some time to kill at the mall beforehand.

Tom built a sweet fort with our IKEA boxes!  Definitely entertained us all, all night!

Some of the funny things I can think of that she has said are:
-One time on our walk she kept pointing and asking for a stick, so I gave her one and she said, "It's princess Jadelyn's magic wand!!"  What the?  Ok then!  Too dang smart
-She now fully realizes when she, ya know, passes gas...and she'll proudly state, "That's a fart!!"  We tried (at first) to correct her by saying something like "That's a toot" and she would say, "NO, that's a fart!"  Now we are just going with it because it is so dang funny!
-She has recently loved feeling like she is dressed up and looking cute!  The other day the Byrd's were over and Addi had on a little mermaid nightgown and Jade insisted on putting on a dress too!  And basically dragged me up the stairs to change her into a dress.
-She very dramatically will point out things that are cool to her by saying, "WOW mama, just LOOK at THAT!"
-When she doesn't want to do what we are asking her to, (like if she is ready to go to bed, get out of the bath, or leave the park) she will calmly give us a logical reason why not.  "No, I'm not tired yet" or "No, I'm just playing" or "No, I'm just swinging"  It cracks us up!
-The other night we went out to eat at a small local place and we were trying to get her to eat some of the grilled cheese sandwich we got her, and she was refusing and started yelling, "I don't eat hot dogs!  I don't eat hot dogs!"  Where did she get that hahaha!  It was a smidge embarrassing!
-After prayers or hymns at church she will always clap and yell, "YAY!"
-It's also really cute when she says things to us that we say to her.   I can't think of an exact example but, we will just do something random, and she will come up and say, "I'm so proud of you!"
-She also likes to show us how "big and strong" she is getting by grunting and lifting up random things that are "oh so heavy!"  We asked her to flex to show us how strong she was and she totally flexed her arms as hard as she could, 'til she was shaking, and the most adorable little fart ever came out:) So funny!

We went to the park for a little bit to fly our kite!  Glad that wedding gift finally came in handy almost 8 years later!

Gosh I love these two!

We also went to the springville park (which I don't recommend)...but we got some cute pictures!

Can't get enough of her!

Little update:  I'm now almost 16 weeks along with baby #2!  Things are going well with the baby and we feel so blessed!  We will hopefully find out what we are having next week!  And I officially felt the baby move for the first time today!  I felt it 3 distinct times so I don't think I'm crazy!  But it's so weird because last time I wasn't certain until 22 weeks!  So I don't know if it's just because I'm familiar with it or what!
