Well first of all, the entire Scherer family is coming to our house for Thanksgiving this year. So we HAVE to have our basement at least partially finished. We have made a lot of trips to Lowes and hope to be painting by the end of next week. Just in case anyone wants to come help!!! Just kidding. But...I would like some ideas of fun things to do for Thanksgiving. I have some cool ideas for centerpieces and name place settings. But if you know of cool recipes or fun family activities to do for Thanksgiving I would love some ideas. Bret said the other day, "I want our family to have a lot of fun." Even his sister from California is coming and this is Pocatello so if you have any ideas to help me make it fun, please share.
Also we are planning to have Ellie's Baptism and Leslie's Baby blessing together that first weekend in January, the 3rd. We thought us Peck's could all get together then and exchange Christmas gifts or just hang out. We will have plenty of space because the basement will be done (well two rooms won't be finished but they will have beds). I am sure we could also use Gigi and Steven's house. So if you want to come, put it on your calendar.
Love you all

Cancun Mexico
So not many know this but I recently returned from an adult-only all-inclusive resort vacation to Cancun Mexico. I went with my friend Nichole Rammell whom I have known since Kindergarten. She is currently my neighbor and we are great friends. We have been planning a trip like this for a while now but it never seemed to happened. Then the right opportunity came around so we just went. It was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. I read three books and almost finished a forth. We had a lot of fun but also relaxed a lot. It was exactly what I needed. Bret did awesome with the girls, he even had to clean up a lot of puke because they all caught the flu. I am so grateful to Bret for encouraging me to go on this trip.
We went parasailing/sky-riding and the views were incredible. I loved every bit of it. They asked us if we wanted a splash when we came down. We said "sure" not exactly knowing what that entailed. So when they brought us down, they brought us down fast and we crashed into the ocean. That was the splash and it was so unexpected the first time. Then it happened again!! It was awesome!!!!!
We took a boat over to Isla Mujeres (The Island of women). They let me drive the boat. When we got there we went snorkeling and saw the most colorful fish I have ever seen. I also saw a Baracuda and our guide caught a lobster which I got to play with.
When our boat docked they had a fenced off area next to the dock with a Nurse Shark. They let us swim with it and hold it. It was pretty crazy. it was really strong and took me off gaurd.
We rented a golf cart and drove around the island. We went to a turtle farm which I loved because turtles are my favorite.
This is the view of our resort from our hotel room balcony. We had incredible views and the resort was amazing. I am done cruising!! An all-inclusive resort was so much better and I can't wait to go again. I think bret and I are going back here next May/June for our 10-year anniversary if anyone wants to join us.

Weekend at Grandma Peck's House
Okay so first of all I apologize for not posting for a few weeks, or has it been months???? The summer was not long enough for me to become a blogger adict so when school started, blogging was the first to get ignored.
Bret had to go to Minneapolis for a training session for his work so the girls and I went to Grandma and Grandpa Peck's house for the weekend. Jeff and Leslie also came down and we celebrated Leslie's big 27th birthday Saturday night with icecream cake. We helped Les tie a quilt for Christmas. I think she is so happy to have that project done! We also got a lot of card playing in with the littlle bros and Dad.
Have you decided to name him Dancer Mom??
Of Course Ellie had to drive the 4-wheeler
Kisses goodbye!!! We love you Grandpa and Grandma. Thanks for a fun weekend.
