Here's a not so quick or little update on the past month in our crazy lives...
November 17: Began working on Tallan's room and getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. (as of today, Tallan's room is still under construction, but Tim is working really hard and doing a great job!)
Doesn't it look great?! I'm so excited about it!November 18: Celebrated Grandma Lynn's bday
November 21: Went to Kangaroo Zoo with Tim's sister's kids. Tim went up to put Tallan on one of the slides and came out saying he broke his leg. He ankle was totally not in the right place. I ran to get Tallan off the top of the slide and went to get Dr. Grandpa. By the time we got back to Tim, he said his ankle had popped back into place. It was painful and pretty gross looking too!
November 21-24: Thanksgiving at our house this year! 20 people for dinner, 13 people at most sleeping at our house...2 turkeys, 1 ham, 6 pounds of potatoes, 3 pies, homemade rolls and stuffing, and 8 bottles of apple cider later, we had a great time! Our guests included: mom and Brian, GG, Val and her family, Aunt Patty and her family, and cousin Megan. Of course, the battery was dead on the camera and we couldn't find our charger anywhere so we don't have any pictures! : (
November 25: As we begin our primary lesson, Tallan throws up all over himself and Tim. They went home to get cleaned up, but not before it caused a chain reaction. One of the boys took one look and leaned behind his neighbor's chair to throw up! 3 other kids in the class said they were going to be sick once the smell got to them. I took everyone out to get drinks and some fresh air while some of the men in the ward cleaned it up. Am I really cut out for nursing???
This is the rocket Brooklyn decided to push Tallan down the stairs on when we got home from church...
He survived and the wall only got a small hole in it!
Luckily the Whitford's were in town and came over to brighten our day. The babies slept, Parker and Brooklyn terrorized, and we played some spades of course! We miss them!
November 27: Utah Flash game with the Whitfords. Tim's company sponsors the team so they have box seats to every game with free dinner from Bajio! Yum! We got some free t-shirts and Tim even won a night's stay at the Marriott! Woo hoo!
November 29: Walking Brooklyn home from preschool she fell off the curb with her hands in her pockets and banged up her face and knees pretty bad. Poor girl!
Had to go to the health department to finish my immunizations for my class. While we were there, Tallan spiked a fever all of a sudden of 103.6 with no other symptoms. We took him to Grandpa Flinders' office for a quick exam and found nothing wrong and his fever subsided. Found out later when that happens, usually a seizure follows...scary!
Since we were already at the doctor's office, we decided to do a quick ultrasound...IT'S A GIRL!
November 30: Tim and I went on an actual date...we cleaned up my booth at The Quilted Bear (yeah! I'm done!) had dinner at Costa Vida, and then went to BYU to see the folk dancers in "Christmas Around the World". SO cool!
December 1: The Christmas season is here! Not only did we wake up to snow, but we got our first Christmas tree after 6 years of marriage! We even decorated it and I am very proud of it!
December 2: Did some holiday baking and decorated the gingerbread house!
You can still see the wounds from her curb fall!
That brings us to today...we are all still alive and even with all of our crazy things happening I wouldn't change a thing! Life is great!

You should really have a camera handy for all of those crazy but wonderful moments you share with your kids. Sounds like they really know how to keep you busy. After six years you finally got a tree. Parker still talks about the time you guys came with us to get ours. I can't believe you still find time to bake. You are a great MOM!
Wow...you guys ahve been super busy! I absolutely love your tree, it's so pretty! A big Congrats that you're having a baby girl...yay. I bet Brooklyn is super excited.
First off CONGRATS! Another girl, how fun, I see you're doing the every other eh! Good plan! I can't believe what a crazy month you've been having! I guess that's the day in a life of a mom, I better enjoy huh! The Gingerbread houses are so cute, did you make that from scratch? Tell me you're not that good, I'll feel really bad!
