What has Talia been up to?

She is the best of frenemies with her sister.

She was a gumdrop in her dance studio's Nutcracker performance in December.


She is a social butterfly, and each day she doesn't get to play is a major tragedy. She loves her cousin Josie (shown in picture) and her BFF Addy.

Her hair has grown into the cutest pixie cut ever! It's been cut once since the big cut last October, and now we'll just keep getting the back trimmed up until all the layers grow out.

She still falls asleep all over the house in weird places. She's the one I have to go check on every night before I go to bed, because I never know if I'll find her asleep in her bed, under the bed, in the closet, on the stairs, under the desk, in the bathroom, in Robbie's room, etc, etc.

What has Sarah been up to?

She lost both her front teeth.

She had a great Christmas! She got spa factory, girl crush, and a crayola glow board. She had fun sledding in Brigham City at her grandma and grandpa's house. She had pneumonia at the end of the Christmas break, which was NO fun!



She was St. Lucia at the Shippen Christmas party. Doesn't she look beautiful?!

She was a mouse in her dance studio's Nutcracker performance. She LOVES dance!

She turned 7 years old! I can't believe she'll be baptized this year! Where has the time gone?

Where Have We Been?

I know it's been FOREVER since I blogged, but lately it seems it's all I can do to get the basics done. Here's a short list of what I've been up to:

• Working out--I'm doing my best to lose all this pregnancy weight, and so far I've lost about half of the extra weight I ended up with. I swear, sometimes it's a full-time job to try to lose weight!
• Scouts--I'm a wolf leader now. It's like planning a birthday party every week! Luckily, my co-leader lives next door, which makes planning and executing activities more convenient.
• Chauffeur--dance, gymnastics, swim lessons, preschool, basketball, baseball--for all these activities, someone has to get them there!
• Feeding--yep, still feeding the Cody man. It's impossible to be productive when you have to sit down every 2-3 hours and nurse a baby!
• Laundry--I don't know what it is about the 4th child, but it seems to be the straw that broke the laundry camel's back. All of a sudden there's a TON of laundry all the time, and I can't ever get on top of it. I swear I have nightmares about folding an unending pile of laundry.

There are many other things going on, but frankly I can't think of them. My brain is way too gone by this time of night. I'll try to do better at updating!
