April - May 2018

Easter Weekend was spent in Delta with Family!  We always have a great time down in D-town!












Haha I remember making lipstick with Robin Eggs as a kid!  Good look babe!

Cutest cousins!  Poor Alyssa broke her elbow at Jade's birthday party!  So sad.


Cutest napper!

Of course we also had to see the baby chicks at Grandpa Stylers too!




Fun little birthday party for Kendra!
And a birthday party for Ella!


This girl picked out her own outfit from my shop and she looks so dang cute!
Dr. Checkups!


Me and Ashley both super pregnant and had to get our hair done before babies arrived!!

34 weeks along!  We can't wait!
Easter Sunday!


A somewhat flattering pregnant LuLaRoe picture so it must be posted!  I love my little basement boutique!
Happy 12 year Anniversary to us!  We celebrated with Dinner and a couple's massage!

Look how stinking cute the Kindergarten graduation pictures are!
One of my favorite bath time pictures EVER!!
These pups are not young anymore!  But they still love their walks!

Enjoying the great weather feeding the ducks!






At 38 weeks pregnant we were invited to a neighborhood Couples Ping pong tournament and we totally won!! It was so much fun and great to get to know our neighbors better!
My sweet friends threw a baby shower dinner for me!
So grateful for these friends!


6 year check-up!
Dance photoshoot!
School Carnival!



This pure joy was totally worth the hour wait in the pony ride line right!?

We went down to Koleman's baptism and Charley's baby blessing the first weekend of May!  I was a little nervous traveling this close to delivery but I'm glad we made it happen.  We had a great time with family and are so glad we could be there to support





About to pop!







Getting stocked up on groceries to get ready to have this baby!
My sweet neighbor friends also treated me to dinner and a baby shower!
These girls did so great at their dance recital!!


So dang proud of them!





Last Sunday going to church before baby girl arrives!

Spent the nice night visiting Daxon.  I felt him near us helping us feel ready and excited!

May 15, 2018 BABY DAY!!!
Overall, labor and delivery went smoothly.  The Dr. broke my water and contractions came fast enough on their own without pitocin.  I got an epidural and it was wonderful!  We had a brief scare where they couldn't find her heartbeat and I don't think Tom and I ever let go of our fear that something would go wrong until she came screaming into this world!  We were both so overcome with emotion it was amazing.  I would relive the moments of her birth over and over again if I could. Such sweet relief.  She was here and healthy and a good baby from the start!

So happy and relieved she is here!!


My heart could burst Maycie Lu Styler.  We love you so much it hurts.
7lbs 11oz of perfection.


From day 1 she was as sweet as they come.  

Proud daddy!
When my mom brought the girls to meet baby sister, she was getting bathed in the nursery and here is their first reaction!
Proud big sisters!



So in love!  
Styler Party of 5!!


Proud Grandma's!



Gammy was so sweet and took such good care of big sisters while we were at the hospital!
Some random pictures at the hospital!  She was so tiny and sweet!











Heading home!

We made it home!




Welcome to the family Maycie girl!

The whole time I was pregnant, Lainey kept asking if she could feed Maycie... and look at that smile when she finally got to!

Well life doesn't slow down when you have a baby!  We got home for the last day of school and Jade's Kindergarten graduation!













Here she is about a week old




SOOOOO BLESSED!




Some behind the scenes of our newborn photo shoot





Our new life!

The following week marked the end of the rest of Elementary so we had a party at the Bunkers!

First bath!!
Newborn bliss...

Tom took Jade and Lainey swimming one night and Lainey completed passed out in the car hahaha!
I treated the girls to a nail day!




Maycie doesn't fix all the sadness and pain, but her light in our lives sure helps!  We are so grateful she is in our forever family.



Lainey went through a hating to get wet phase... she liked to be in charge of the hose but didn't want to get wet!  Lucky for her, Jade loves getting wet! Win- win!



Summer chores!
2 week check up!

May was soooooo good to us!
