Styler Family

We had a really quick (but awesome) Mother's day weekend. I worked on Saturday so we drove down to Delta that afternoon to spend the night with my parents and Conlan:) We had a delicious dinner that I feel bad my mom made us on her Mother's day weekend! But I hope we made it a fun weekend for you:) And then we just played outside in the PERFECT weather. Love hanging out with the fam:)

Happy Mother's day MOM! I love you so much and you are such an amazing example to me!

And of course the dog's had the best time in my parent's yard! And my dad even took them on an early morning walk on Sunday

Jade sure loves her Grandma! My mom is always making her laugh!

I don't know who, out of the dogs and my brother, wore eachother out more??

These two!+ Babe town USA

Tom and Jade did an awesome job spoiling me this mother's day...he got me this dress, belt, watch (I'll pretend he picked those out), an Amazon gift card and my all time favorite...a great card:) Thank you so much babe. Words cannot express how much I love you and am grateful to be a mom to this little lady:) She is such a fun, spunky, energetic and beautiful little girl. Being a mom has definitely been the most challenging, crazy, rewarding, fun and happy time of my life!

We are both soo grateful for our mom's and for everything they have done for us. Now that we are parents, we appreciate it more than ever. I know we are new parents and only have an inkling of an understanding of everything they have done for us to raise us right, but we hope we can someday come close to being the type of parents we have.

We gave both of our mom's a really pretty watch that they each got to pick out and Tom was right on both for which he thought they would pick! I wish I would have gotten a picture of them:(
Sunday we went up to Michelle's for the day! We had a BBQ, and hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Probst, Michelle and Larry, and Kimberlie and Jonathon

Michelle gave Jade this adorable yellow romper and headband so of course we had to have her model it! Michelle also gave me a really cute plaque that says "I never knew how much love my heart could hold 'til someone called me mommy" I love it. So thoughtful!

Jade also LOVES Michelle's play room!

MMMMMMM.....steak

And it was soooo great to talk to Sister Styler!! She is doing awesome and it was so fun to hear her voice and catch up with her. She is truly an incredible missionary. She is already having tons of success and having lots of crazy experiences! We love her letters and are thankful for her example to us! Can't wait til Christmas to talk to her again!

Then we headed home that night and Jade was practicing her stretches:) Her and the dogs were pooped after the weekend

So we got her in her pj's and ready for bed:)
So the funny and true story about this T-shirt she is wearing: Tom found this shirt on the side of the road in the gutter while he was on his mission in Texas. And then he sent it to me on a teddy bear (I think for Valentines Day 2005)! Who knew that one day our daughter would be wearing it?!
From a frilly yellow romper...to a Led Zeppelin shirt...all in a day's work for this gal

Now some random pictures over the last few weeks...
So Jade really likes Mickey and Minnie mouse! She even knows their names and has to be holding both when watching Mickey on TV

And sporting her Minnie shirt and holding Mickey while getting a bite of ice cream from dad before bed :) naughty naughty...

She also loves the dogs~ she is always looking for them if they aren't in the room. This is her ~~petting~~ smacking Jovi and saying ~~dog~~ gog:)

She can also say: Hi, ba-bye, cool, toys, shoes, whee!, ball, mama, dada, yuck and go-go-go! She is constantly jabbering these days!

And she is still an outdoors-aholic. We go on a walk, play in the backyard and possibly a bike ride on the daily:) Tom and I finally took our bikes out the other day together and it was fun! The first of many I hope

Favorite indoor hobby is her toys and books and especially climbing into her toy buckets to sit and enjoy them

Last friday we went to dinner with, and had the Jone's over to hang out after and these were some cute pics of that night

These last few were a couple weeks ago...Dad has a good, comfortable method for swinging her:)

We sure love this little cheeser and couldn't imagine our lives without her!

On Thursday Brittany and I took our kids to the park and Jade was just soaking it up! She is still obsessed with being outside! And I'm ok with that because I am also the happiest when I'm outside too. She now really loves going down slides to and is quite the little miss independent.

After her bath that night, while I was lotion-ing her, she was just cracking herself up and going crazy! Hence all the baby lotion on the mirror. It was soooo cute and hilarious

She understands what 'milk' and 'snack' mean She can now say ball really well and loves to play with any and all of them!

This pic is random and I look terrible, but she was just the cutest and cuddliest I have ever seen her after her nap. We all know she is too busy to ever just cuddle so I had to document

I didn't take any pictures of Friday night and I wish I did because it was so fun! First we went to dinner at Ruby River steakhouse with Tom's dad and Kimberlie and Jonathon. And it was so delicious and good to catch up with them.
Then on our way home we met up with the Fowlers, Bunkers, and Jones at the park and played some tennis! It was really fun and hopefully we make it a regular thing! It was so nice because we had all 6 courts to ourselves most of the time so we could just let the little ones run and play together

Saturday night after I got home from work, we had the first BBQ of the season with the same group at the Bunkers! This is the only picture I got of that night.. Fail...
We had a blast but headed home a little early to get Jade to bed who had been grumpy for the past couple days with a fever/ little virus and getting 2 more teeth. (Which are still not through yet). It breaks my heart when she is grumpy and miserable and I feel helpless! She is thankfully doing much better now.

Sunday evening after church we headed up to West Valley because Sharice invited the family up to her house for dinner and a surprise party for Gregg! It was a lot of fun! Thank you Sharice and Gregg for having us! Jade couldn't get enough of the enchilada's! It was so nice and I was so proud of her! Any of you that know her, know that eating is probably her least favorite thing to do
