Chaos!

So, life has been crazy and unfortunately I have not been good about posting about the happenings this summer. It has flown by so fast, and I can't believe that soon it will be fall and all the kids will be back in school-what?


We have had a pretty jam packed summer and have had a grand total of one...count it, one weekend home to relax! We have had so much fun though so that makes up for it! We have gotten to see Mr. Ty and Heather and Zac a few times this summer which has been crazy, he is growing so fast! We also went on a camping trip with our bible study to the Taylors Falls area. That was a great time with great friends, we came up with a menu prior to leaving and everyone brought ingredients, I don't think I have ever eaten so well...and definitely not while camping. Our menu ranged from bluberry pancakes slathered in berries and cool whip to hawiian chicken with yummy potatoes, it was a fun time! We also had our friend from high school's wedding to attend. It was gorgeous as was she!


We finally decided on a name for our sweet little girl-- Miss Skye ______ Brekke! We are still toying around with middle names! She is growing a ton, at least I believe she is because I wake up every morning and my belly looks bigger and bigger! She is kicking a lot too now, it is such and amazing feeling.


Well it may be a while until my next blog because next friday we are MOVING INTO OUR HOME!!!!! YAY!!!!! So not sure when we will hook up the internet and when we will have the time, I think we have quite a bit of work ahead of us...job number one...Skye's nursery just because I am way too excited!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Scott and I got to go have an ultrasound done today for my 20 week appointment, and there was some anatomy missing in the ultrasound, so it's a girl!!! She seemed extremely sure and said she didn't want to say 100%...but, 100% it's a girl! We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby girl! The due date is staying at dec. 15th. Shana had been nice enough to do an ultrasound for me that showed a little later, but according to her weight and measurements, it looks like my original due date of dec. 15th is pretty accurate, she already is moving a lot and was not so cooperative with the sonographer so I have a feeling she will come whenever she feels like it! Thanks for all the prayers and please keep them coming :)

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!

This morning Scott and I heard back from our realtor that we are about to be first time homebuyers! We can't be more excited, it is the perfect starter home for us to welcome little baby brekke home! Here is just a pic from the website, in our opinion it looks much better in person!

WOW I'm a bad blogger!!!!!

Well, I have once again gotten very very far behind on the blogging. We have been gone every weekend and seem to be busy every weeknight when we get home from work, so blogging fell by the wayside.
We have been having a jam-packed, exciting, stressful few months. Most fun and important news is that we continue to prepare for the arrival of baby brekke.....baby girl or boy will be determined in about 2 weeks!!! We are so excited and can't wait to hold them in our arms! Hopefully the next 5 months fly by! Scott's sister heather recently found out she is also expecting and we can't be more excited to have the cousins so close, and it will be very fun to share all the joys of pregnancy together. We're so happy for them. Please keep both us and Heather and Mike in your prayers for very healthy babies :)
We have also been househunting like crazy still, and as of today have put in our fourth...yes fourth offer. We keep getting outbid or the other buyers offer to pay in cash---if they have 125k sitting around, why aren't they looking at more expensive houses? So it has been frusterating but we are gaining a lot of knowledge and we are feeling very good about the one that we just made an offer on, so please keep us in your prayers!
There has been way too much going on to update everything, but hopefully I will get back on track!

House Hunting!

So...this has been a very long time, and sadly it has to be short and sweet since I have to start getting ready for work! Lately we have been pretty busy hopping around to different events such as HIT's (A bball tournament our borowski side participates in every year) a few weekends ago which was very fun! Scott went the whole tournament uninjured, which I believe is a first! So we were very happy with that! Both teams did great and had a lot of fun!
This past weekend we went up to Pine to celebrate easter with both families. It was great being able to see everybody, it seems like time passes so quickly and it is great to be able to celebrate God's amazing Love for us with all of our loved ones!
Some of you already know, but for those who don't: Scott and I have been house hunting for the past 2 months and found quite a few that we really liked, and the trend always seemed to be they would sell either the day we looked at them, or already be sold and the realtors give us bad info. So we were starting to get really frusterated, but we put it in God's hands and are hoping he leads us to the perfect house. Well...we think he may have done that! We put an offer in on a house in forest lake 2 weeks ago, and have yet to hear ANYTHING from the bank, they said it could take up to 8 weeks. Because countrywide is the lender and the house is a shortsale, it is a little complicated but we are willing to give it a try because we love the house that much! We're just asking for everyone's prayers since this process is extremely stressful and LONG! It is all in God's hands, but it is hard not to get our hopes up and secretly start planning how we would renovate the whole house!!!

Fergus Christmas

Well... people may be thinking that I posted this very late...No, we just decided to have Christmas celebrations last weekend! It is so hard to work around everybody's work schedules...and luckily we found a day that everybody could make it and enjoy the celebration! It was so much fun, great food and wonderful company!


Mom, Scott and I headed up earlier than the rest of the family on Friday to get a little extra time with the Lewises and a very special little man! We were amazed at how big he is and how much he has developed since we last saw him...it was crazy! We went out to gramps and grams for dinner and had Grandma's world renown bbq sandwiches, then headed back to the Lewis household.


Saturday Heather and I did our ritual run to Herbergers to browse the sales and made a few other stops! Then we headed back to their home where heather made very yummy sandwiches for lunch! We started getting stuff ready and before we knew it people were all over for the family christmas. High lights of the night were some very intense game play in apples to apples where none other than Kay borowski chose post man for the description of chubby! It was such a great time and we were very sad to head home :(


BUT... we get to go back to fergus at the end of the month and can't wait! Of course I had to take some pictures of the other man that holds my heart :)

SO...This may be my favorite picture of all time...Zac you definitely fit into our family!

Sledding!

A few weeks ago we took the opportunity to go sledding with some of our favorite people: the Hintz family! It was such a great day for sledding, no breeze and about 20 degrees! We had a blast!
