Birthdays, Puppies and Fishies!

This past week has been a very fun one! Started off by celebrating my 21st birthday! Scott made a very fun game show for me in the morning to open my presents (he is always so sweet and creative!) Then when I got to work the kids surprised me by bombing me with twenty one balloons! We had a fun day of playing then I headed home to get ready for dinner! Our friends Michaela and Bill joined us for dinner at Osaka...an AMAZING hibachi grill. It was so much fun and the best birthday I could have asked for!! Friday we packed up and headed up North where we got to meet Gracie, she is the most adorable puppy ever! The fam got her for Tom for Father's day...she is such a sweetie and such a good puppy! We spent some time with them and then headed to Brainerd Saturday for a week of fishing and fun. It was a great time even though scott had a bad cold and Trent got the flu one day and threw up about twenty times! The weather wasn't the greatest but we still had a great time and did our part by ridding the lakes of all the crappies (JK) but we did make quite a haul in the crappie department. Trent also was very proud to land a four pound bass in the dark...it was pretty sweet. The winner however, has to go to Scott's sister heather who landed a 6 pound bass near shakopee, I think all the guys jaws dropped when they heard that one! We're finally back home now and happy to be able to sleep in our own bed tonight since about a week and a half of being gone! Liddell is pretty happy to have us home too :)

Baby Ty

This weekend was amazing because Scott and I got to go meet our little Godson Ty! He is so beautiful and such a special little man! On Friday we got to Fergus and cuddled with Ty for a while before I headed out for coffee with Heather and Linda and Scott started the night out right: with Halo! When we got back from coffee we went to Paul and Sheri's with baby Ty. Then we headed home for a "hair dying party" it was very fun, unfortunately my hair didn't want to cooperate and is basically the same color it was before...oh well :) We rolled into bed around three (I thought that was late.) Scott stayed up with all the boy cousins playing Halo until around 7:30 in the morning. Needless to say he was pretty tired on the drive home. We can't wait to see baby Ty again...I already miss him :( But here are some pictures from the weekend!

Other Spring Happenings

So, since I haven't updated in a while there are lots of things to update! One is the other weekend my cousin Shea came up from Swaledale for a girls weekend of fun. Her and Rik are rooming together next year and are moving to the wonderful Eagan area beginning of August! They picked out an apartment and turned in their applications, so that was pretty fun and then we did what we do best...had a goofy fun weekend! Also, I got to see my friend Cassandra's amazingly beautiful little girl! She was such a happy little girl and had the sweetest smile...they'll have fun trying to keep the boys away! Jaci and I have been going to the park on a daily basis where we always bring food for the duckies and "goose a loose"! The goose is kind of mean and tries to chase us and bite...Jaci is much braver than me, sometimes she has to say it's okay Kayla...we can run faster than goose a loose! It is always fun with her! Con man is getting done with school so soon he will be with us all day which makes for fun and adventures...I am sure we will have some fun stories to report!

Grad Weekend

Graduation weekend was a little crazy and quite hectic! It started with a trip up to Pine City to pick up my mom and then we headed to Fergus for our cousin, Tim's graduation party. It was great seeing everyone and I figured I better post something on here since I am pretty pathetic at it (I've been notified!!!) It was really fun spending time with family and having fun! Then we headed back to pine city where we quick ate and then headed over to Brekkes. Scott went to the late show of the new indiana jones movie which in his words was a "very fakey letdown". I stayed at home and watched to Boston/Detroit game...CELTICS IN THE HOUSE, whoop whoop! I was very happy when the celtics clinched game three at Detroit! Then Sunday rolled around and we went to Rik's recognition at church and then to the grad ceremony! I was surprised when I found myself getting a little emotional that my baby sister is all growed up! We are very proud of her for all that she has accomplished, and for those of you who don't know her Grad party is June 29th at Rock Creek Community Center. We went back to Brekkes after Grad and watched the Lakers lose to those stinkin spurs :( We also had a fish fry with some bass Tim and Tom had caught...it was SO good!) Then Monday Mike and Heather came up North with their friend paul and we had a barbecue day with more delicious food! Then we had to head home :( Man do the weekends fly! Now I have to sit here all week anxious to go see baby Ty, if only I had been able to stay up in Fergus one more day! This week will be a busy one too, between work and packin up for both fergus and our family trip beginning of June...oh the craziness of it all!

CONGRATS LEWIS FAMILY!

Congratulations to Zac and Heather who just had a beautiful little baby boy, Ty Cameron Lewis! Since Scott and I are not planning on having kids for quite some time, we are looking forward to spoiling our new little Godson! We will be heading up this weekend to see him and will be posting pictures for the Brekke/Heimdals! I am sure all the Borowski side has seen by now :) He is absolutely beautiful and you guys are going to be amazing parents, he's a lucky little baby that he will be so loved by so many people!

1 YEAR!!!

Well, let's just say the weather was a little different than a year ago! We had planned to take a trip to the St. Croix river valley for our anniversary and go hiking through the trails by the river, pack a picnic lunch and just spend the day outside on saturday. Unfortunately, mother nature had other plans: SNOW! We were bummed to wake up to wind, snow and sleet but were going to make the most of the weekend. We went for an extremely cold hike saturday morning that lasted about twenty minutes and during which I believe I got a little wind burn on my cheeks. We then decided to go check out cascade falls in osceola WI. It was amazing. The trees and hills blocked the wind and we went on a long hike along the creek. The snow was so pretty on the trees and was the absolute perfect setting. It was so amazingly beautiful and we had about the best anniversary weekend we could have asked for! Thanks to everyone for all of their anniversary wishes! We love you all lots!

SPRING! Yay!

Well this end of winter/beginning of spring has been very busy for us! We had HIT weekend, the family basketball tournament that was a great time as always along with a fun shower for heather and baby T. It was a great weekend with family and lots of basketball! Scott rolled his ankle after a good two minutes of play in the first game but played in all three games saturday like a crazy man! ( I think he paid for that in days to come!) Now we just have next years HIT's to look forward to...maybe even a championship?

We had Rikki's prom the following weekend, we came up for the grand march and got to see some friends as well. She looked absolutely beautiful and sounds like they had a great time. Now she is winding up high school and then there's just Trent left, have fun mom and dad! JUST KIDDING, love you trentie!

As for work, Scott is busy as always and the lord keeps providing work everyday! Jaci and I spend our mondays and wednesdays at storyhours at different libraries. Tuesdays we go to the mall for "toddler tuesdays" where we have met a number of fun characters like care bears, cat in the hat, dora the explorer, mickey mouse, berentstein bears and most recently Lily....but she gets most excited to see "sharky" who is the mascot for underwater world and we see every week. I think I need to just take her to see him, then we wouldn't have to wait in mile long lines for the meet and greets! Today we spend a great day at the park and spent all afternoon playing football in the nice weather!

We are very excited about the big one year anniversary this coming week and are planning a little mini get away to the taylors falls area and plan to go hiking at the state park and just have a relaxing weekend. Hard to believe that just a year ago we were getting all nervous for the wedding! We are so blessed to have each other and all of our great family and friends as our support system! You guys are the great and we appreciate you all so much :)

Rikki and Josh looking good!
