Growing and Growing and Growing.....

The first time she held her own bottle for longer than 30 seconds... we made such a big deal of it she was so proud of herself!

Sayler LOVES to play the piano and sing... she fingers all the notes... with an occasional pounding. When she's done with her song she throws both hands in the air and looks at you waiting for the applause!
My Masterpiece....

Mom made a mistake and left an open bag of Jalepeno hot cheetos on the counter next to the bumpo... while my back was turned Sayler grabbed the bag, dumped it out, and proceeded to suck as many of them as she could. She must have her dad's taste for hot stuff cause she didn't even flinch! Though she did drink an awful lot of water the rest of the night!
oh Yummy!!!

Sayler absolutely loves to read... anything she can find. She found this brochure on the ground opened it up and proceeded to 'read' outloud to us ;)

Our First Family Camping Trip!!!

Kevin has been trying to get us to go camping... oh... for about as long as we have been married. Anyone who knows me knows my idea of camping is in a nice motel room! But when the ward had a family camp out we 'need to support the ward' can't be argued against... so we packed up and had our first overnight family camping experience. Other than slightly cold it was a blast!

A Very excited Camper!!

Summer Fun

I know it has been a loooong while since I have posted anything so here goes my attempt to play a short catch up since we have been in AZ! Fourth of July is my favorite holiday... so of course we all had to dress in red white and blue!

Pictures for Dad

So much fun everyday!!!!

I can sit by myself, but refuse to smile for the camera!

Ok... maybe I will smile for you....only if I can sit in Grandpa's chair while he's gone! (see my cute pigtails dad?)


Worn out after a long day! I thought this was so cute, her blanket in one hand and her favorite toy in the other snuggled up next to her face!

I Get REAL FOOD Now!

For the last week Sayler has been watching us eat everything and smacking her lips... so we decided to try her on rice cereal! She Loved it. Now She won't have a bottle without some first! She watches what everyone eats soooo carefully it makes you feel pretty guilty for eating in front of her!

Happy Mother's Day to Me!

Since Kevin wasn't here for my FIRST Mother's Day... he's gonna owe me big when he gets back. But for now here are some pictures of my First Mother's day!

Grandma and Grandpa's House

Sayler and I have been hanging out here in DC while Kevin is in Brazil. We miss him alot but get to talk to him on skype every night so its not too bad. Here are some pictures for Kevin. Sayler and I are both getting in shape here.... she bounces all day and I run!

Randome Pictures so Far....

Sayler's First Easter

Holidays are so much more fun when you have kids! It was fun to watch Sayler get into her Easter basket! Even at this young she seemed to understood that it was hers and she was pulling everything out of it! Thank you to Aunt Holly for the beautiful Easter dress!

A Beautiful Baby

Kevin and I feel so blessed to have Sayler in our lives. She is so much fun. Sayler is now at the point where everything goes in the mouth... but her sweet smile melts my heart everytime, especially when accompanied by a giggle!

Long Awaited Route 66 Road Trip!!!

Over the last 2 and a half years that we have lived here in Sterling we have driven to Arizona countless times. Each time we pass the Route 66 signs Kevin has said, someday when we drive this we are going to take our time and visit all the historic Route 66 stuff. Well He got his chance! We went to Arizona for a business trip and since Sayler is too little to fly we drove... and since we had to stop every 4 hours anyway... we thought we'd fullfill Kevin's dream! Here are the pictures from our trip!
