January 2019

Brennen promised to do the dishes one night...

as happens all to often he fell asleep and they were still there in the morning

Collins helped him out and cleaned all of them

WE love to dress up in our jerseys and play basketball

Brennen caught a pretty good picture of the awesome firework show the neighbors of the cabin put on. It was a good one!

Getting ready for the big day!

We made it to the airport and the kids are ready to see Bayli!

We pulled off the best surprise ever!

A new niece for Bayli when she got home

 Ted was a trooper and waved this flag for an hour almost

She's coming we are ready

There she is....

Here is the sequence of events, I am holding the baby with the sign, it takes her a minute to notice me

Still hasn't

She saw it through the tears....

Tears and astonishment

She can't believe I pulled it off

Really

Of course Lainee wasn't too cooperative

So glad our favorite missionary is home

She was amazing and her letters were fun to read

We were blessed by her service for sure.

She came back later to ask again how this worked

and still in shock

We went and ate as a family after at the JS Memorial building 

it was good

The day after she got home Presley got baptized 

The kids sang I will be what I believe with Grandma playing the guitar!

The next day at Bayli's homecoming they sang it is sacrament as the musical number, and did so good

Collins got up there and sang her heart out

I was so proud of her
