Sayler's First Birthday

Sayler turned one on the 21st of November. She is so much fun to be around. We count our blessings everyday. Pictures say more than I can so...

Grandpa and Grandma flew in for her special day!

What are these????

A True Conover... prefers the ice ream to the cake!

Well..... most of the frosting got eaten.....

New Year's Resolution

Be a Better Blogger
(Sherri this is for you j/k!)
I decided since this is the best way most of our family keeps up on each other I better get better at blogging... so my resolution is at least once a week. I'm pretty sure I can commit to that. Sooooo Happy New Year everyone as you play catch up with my family life!

Halloween Happenings! Sayler's First

The most beautiful Fairy Princess!

The Ward Trunk or Treat


Trick or Treating





Worn out after a long night of walking up to 10 houses!

Fall Fun

For Fall Family Home Evening we went to Nature's Farm Pumpkin Patch. Sayler had a great time amidst all the pumkins (and kids!)







The finished product. We printed out a couple of patterns of faces and let Sayler choose... Here's what she picked!

Fall Fun

We were lucky enough to get to go to the Midwest to get a taste of fall....

Aunt Sherri's House

We were lucky enough to get to visit Sherri and Mark just in time for Sherri's annual Halloween party! If anyone knows how to throw together a party its Sherri! Sayler had a blast at her very first Halloween party!

Hanging with cousins

Eating Sherri's yummy dinner...if anyone hasn't tasted her cooking lately make a trip to Sherri's gourmet kitchen. She's Awesome!

The PIRATE PARTY.....




Making cannonballs for the cannon ball fight....


Or tasting them....

The Pirate Crew

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!
