I can walk! Sayler's Progression!

Sayler learned to stand on her own on Thanksgiving day. She started to take her first steps on her own the day after Christmas, a week later walking, and a few days later there is no stopping her. A whole new world has opened up for her... and me, mostly my cupboards, drawers and computer desk! But we love it!

Learning to stand!

Walkin like a pro!

New Years Resolutions: Just a few!

1. Have Family Home Evening

It's Jesus!

2. Spend more time playing with Sayler

New Years Eve

I had a voice lesson in LA on the 30th so we spent New Year's eve day on the beach! Everyday I lotion Sayler up after her bath. I also use it in her hair instead of product to keep her curls. She always gets a little dab on her hands, which she promptly rubs together and then through her hair. Well as I was getting her out of the car seat I asked her "Sayler do you want to go to the ocean?" To which she responded by rubbing her hands together and then through her hair! Ocean/ Lotion, whatever it is I want some!

Birds!!!

More Birds!!!

What is this stuff on my hands????

Some nice guy on the beach gave this to her to play with!

Going to dip our feet.... it was pretty cold!

Coming back from dipping our toes!

First Time at the Park

Kevin's sister Sherri organized a family get together at the park after Christmas. Sayler had so much fun as you can see! Thanks Sherri for helping us get out!

Not so sure about this....

Ok... I love it!

Kevin had just as much fun launching tennis balls to all the kids!

Ducks! I can say it!

Ever since Grandma Marshall taught Sayler the word duck she has been facinated by them in books.... so we took her to see some real ones!

'What Santa Doesn't Bring Me Grandma (& Grandpa) Will: Christmas 2009

We spent this Christmas at home, just the 3 of us. It was so fun to watch Sayler discover that there is always something fun under the wrapping paper... though we had to take away each toy in order to get her to unwrap the next, which always brought a few tears! Grandma and Grandpa were sooo good to her this year, course she had been a very good girl!

Christmas PJs

See My Shirt?

...and they did!

Skyping Grandma & Grandpa... oh the wonders of modern technology!

Grandma & Grandpa Conover's.. thanks Tina for our presents!

Thanksgiving

This year we got to spend Thanksgiving in Utah for Debbie's wedding. What a fun day... but we also snuck a few more fun memories in as well! Thanks Natalie for coming down to spend the Holiday with us!

Discovering tongues! Whoah, Dad's is soooo long!!!

Daddy daughter dance!

Fun Times with Natalie!

A visit with Grandma Young (who is 91 years old!)

And finally... Temple Square

It was just a little cold compared to AZ!!!

Family Photo Shoot

For those of you who don't know I auditioned and made Team USA for the World Championship of Performing Arts 2010. Huh??? most people say... its basically the olympics for the performong arts, held in LA every year in July. I am going to be competing in singin, acting and modeling. Mostly I am excited about the singing. I will be competing in my age group in 5 different categories. I am excited to be doing more with my talents, and tremndously grateful for this opportunity! However.... it does cost money.... so in an effort to rase some money for this months payment I put out my first Christmas Album. Its pretty good if I do say so myself. I have quite a few left if anyone wants one for $10 towards a good cause! ANyway we did a family photo shoot to get a picture of me for the cover of my CD. Enjoy the photos!

The Winner

Sweet Shots... Need I say More?
