Merry Christmas!

Well, these Christmas wishes come a little late as we have been quite busy over the past few weeks. We kicked off the celebrations back in November and haven't stopped! We had a total of 7 christmas celebrations this year, and have enjoyed all of them very much (we still have 2 to look forward to!) We have been so blessed this year in all aspects of our life and really loved spending time with our loved ones and celebrating the reason for the season!

We spent Christmas eve with the Heimdal side after stopping at Scott's Grandma's in the morning! Dad was pretty sick, but still his old joking self! He may have been sick but he still was able to bust out in some Dance Dance Revolution, he's a natural! It was such a great night, we always enjoy seeing family! We then headed over to Brekke's later that night where we participated in some more DDR before heading to bed.

Christmas Day we spent with Scott's parents and siblings, we had a great time opening gifts and sharing laughs! We had a huge ham and turkey dinner that was very delicious! We are blessed to have two great families and enjoy every minute with them! Unfortunately, the next day Scott got very sick with the flu and was confined to the couch. He's feeling much better now though, thankfully it was a 24 hour bug.

I was able to go to one of Trent's basketball games. He started and did awesome, I was quite the proud big sister! He shut down their main scorer who was a 6'7" giant who was a very chippy player. He also scored an and 1 with a minute to go, and they won by one. I would say he was the mvp, but of course I may be a little biased!

We hope all of your holidays found you healthy and happy! As of January 5th we will be in Mexico for a week, so please pray for safe travels and blue skies!

Winter Madness!

It feels like it has been so long, life has been a little crazy lately! I have just been finishing up classes for the semester with a lot of reading and A LOT of writing essays! We had a very blessed thanksgiving and had so much fun spending time with our great family! We have had a lot of fun getting into the Christmas spirit and are really enjoying our first holiday season in our little home! We have also picked up a new hobby, and quite a painful one at that! We went snowboarding together yesterday and are not moving around so good today, but I am sure that we provided entertainment to the other people on the slopes with our extreme wipeouts! I had gone a few times in the past, but haven't gone for about four years, so we are both learning the ropes! Although we are very sore, we had a lot of fun and when we recover I am sure we will be going again! We also were lucky enough to get some great tickets for the timberwolves game, even though it was hard to watch them without KG on the floor, we still had a lot of fun. We hope each of you are enjoying the holidays with your loved ones and celebrating our amazing Lord's love!

Busy Week

We have had a very busy, fun week! We started the week out by carving pumpkins, Scott was very proud of his Halo 3 pumpkin! I got to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather with Connor and Jaci and we enjoyed playing in the leaves! Scott adn I also got to celebrate our 6 month marker and went out to a fancy Japanese Hibachi Grille that they cook everything in front of you while putting on a show with fire and throwing their knives around! It was very fun and excellent food! Sunday I surprised Scott with vikings tickets! We had great seats and although the Vikes lost it was very fun!

Scott and I at the game, what a fun time!

Our seats were at the 10 yard line, 12 rows up, so we had a great view of the action!

Here is Scott's Halo 3 pumpkin, he has some pumpkin carving skills!

Crazy Kitty!

Our sweet little kitty just got a toy from Mom Heimdal and she LOVES it! She loves to pull on it and as soon as it snaps out of her mouth she goes crazy jumping about 3 feet in the air trying to get it. It is one of the most amusing things to watch and she goes at it for hours! Here are a few action shots!

Fun Day!

Today Jaci, Connor and I were able to head over to the Children's museum since Connor is on his MEA break from Montessori. The kids had so much fun and especially loved the new "elmo" exhibit!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad Brekke

Our wonderful parents on the Brekke side are celebrating their 25th Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Mama Donna and Papa Tommy, we love you guys!

Liddell

Here are some pictures of our cute little Kitty, Liddell. She is 2 years old and they call her a tabby/torte because her coloring is kind of a mixture. As you can see, she loves having a family!

Wedding Pictures

I'm sure anyone who is reading this knows that Scott and I got married on April 28th, 2007! It was a truly amazing day that went better than we could have asked for. We absolutely love the

married life and are learning as we go! God has blessed us with eachother and we are very lucky!

Hello Everyone!

Hi everyone! Since there are so many family members we don't get to see, we figured this would be the quickest mode of communication! There are many of you that have been asking to see pictures from the wedding so we will include a few of them! Scott and I have been very busy lately. Scott continues to enjoy his work with bathcare and it keeps him busy during the week while hunting season takes up the weekends. Evenings he enjoys a game of Halo3 or Madden. As for me, right now I am taking online classes and working as a nanny for a wonderful little girl and boy. I am planning on going for human services majoring in early childhood development and am really excited about the classes I will be taking in the near future! We had a very special addition to our little family...a kitty! She loves to be loved! We rescued her from the humane society and she enjoys being cuddled as much as possible. Although, Scott and I were disappointed that she much prefers Tim, Scott's brother; to either of us. If he is at our house she is on his lap!
