News, New Year's & Resolutions

Yesterday I had set Talitha in her crib so I could sort her laundry and when I turned around to check on her, I founder like this.

Our little girl is growing up so fast! She had pulled herself up in her crib. My how time flies! I remember bringing her home from the hospital which just seems like it was yesterday.
Then, today as Brian and I were playing with her, I noticed that she was trying to snap her fingers! No I am not kidding. She was moving her "birdie" finger and her thumb in a snap-like motion. I could not believe it! I'm still in shock. Yesterday, Brian had taken this video of Tali playing the piano....what a natural! I thought it was cute.

Our New Year's Eve we had spent with some of our good friends. We ate a lot of fudge, chips and apple beer (yes, it's non-alcoholic. We wouldn't drink it otherwise. It actually tastes like sparkling cider) and played some really fun games. One game we played was Battle of the Sexes and I am proud to say the women won! Woo hoo! Here are a few of the photos our little party.

Here we are getting ready to go outside for fireworks. Surprisingly, Talitha didn't freak out like I thought she would. I kind of think she liked them.

I think Tali found a new friend.

Awww. She loves her Momma!

I thought this picture was too cute! Tali really loves her Daddy.

With the New Year as most of us do, we have made a few of our own resolutions. Brian and I are going to go together to the temple at least once a month, we are working on our family prayer and scripture study, and like everyone else we are both going to work on being healthier and exercising more. I also am going to spend more time practicing on the piano as apposed to watching tv.
