What a Dad!!!

So Bret was resting on the couch with a horrible headache when we got home from school/violin lessons. The girls wanted to secretly color their dad's feet so they got the markers out. I'm pretty sure Bret woke up immediately but he didn't stop them. He was such a good sport and the girls giggled the whole time. I remember my friends and I painting my dad's toe nails when we were little.





The final product


What a good dad my kids have!!!!



I just added this so you could see what we saw this morning when we opened our front door.

Ellie's Baptism and More

Ellie was baptised on January 3rd and she had a very good day. I appreciate all of you who came, it really made Ellie feel special. She loved seeing her cousins especially those from Utah cause she doesn't get to see them very often. Ellie sang "If The Savior Stood Beside Me" with her cousins Alli and Ashlyn.

When the bishop asked Ellie if she and her dad had been practicing and preparing for her baptism she said, "No, My mom has been practicing with me in the bathtub." She was right.
She was very nervous but the entire thing went very smooth.

I was looking for a family picture of us in 2008 and I can't find one. So I think this is the first one we have taken in awhile.

Ellie's Grandma Scherer gave a talk and Grandpa Scherer gave a prayer

Grandma Peck also gave a talk and Grandpa Peck prayed. Ellie made all the decisions about her baptism program and asked everyone to talk, sing, and pray herself.

A Few Pictures from Christmas in Carey. I know they are late but you should be used to it by now.

This is Ellie and Cooper trying to drag Brylee out of the snow who was screaming the whole time.

What a look!!

Alivia (Kami's), Brylee, and Kaylee (Leslie's). These three played so well together and I just love them.

Here they are again as the Three Wise "Princess" for the Nativity Play on Christmas Eve. They wouldn't dress like Kings but they would dress like princesses. So we just let them think what they wanted.

The entire Cast!
