Kids on the computer first thing in the morning...

Our Christmas cactus in starting to bloom...I just love it!
Twice a year we are blessed with 20-30 blooms. ;-)

Yes, if our kids are ready for school, they can do just about anything. Club Penguin is usually the choice around here. But there is not much time to play on the computer or to watch television...especially with Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, after school activities, and especially homework!

Happy trails all!
Heather

Happy Birthday to Marina & Jeremiah!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

It's Friday, Yehoo!

We get Marina today after school! Our family has BIG plans this weekend...parties galore and church. Then a really big week next week as well...Monday appointments x 2, Girl Scouts on Wednesday, Court on Thursday~ALL DAY~then next weekend my buddy Melanie and her daughter will be here for nine days...yehoo!

We are running low on caribou...which is the best meat! Steve is talking about a trip to Adak...not sure how that will pan out for us since our freezer is full of salmon, clams, shrimp and moose. I am sure we could figure something out if need be...but really no time to go to Adak. Hard to believe, but Christmas is almost here.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Hunter has played outside
everyday after school since it snowed!

He was very proud of the big snowball!

This was Hunter's first days work...
Hunter & Mom this morning...
I wore mascara and lipstick ;-)
I hardly ever wear mascara and
I wear lipstick about once every five years.
Going to make it more of a habit

We are babes!

I have a deal with the kids,
they always get at least one fun picture!

Adventurous weekend at the Brekke's

The view of Chugiak High School on Thursday!

As I visited my last classroom at Chugiak,
I was asked to join them to try many wonderful souffles.
It was just in time for lunch...

Out on Thursday to the Glacier Brewhouse,
lucky I went, it was my only chance to see Melly.

Friday night we celebrated the
Perdew's 50th anniversary at Sea Galley!

We ended the night at the Lucky Strike!

Girl Scouts Bridging Ceremony

What an afternoon...

The Girl Scouts conducted their first bridging ceremony in our troop. We had a potluck first then the Brownie troop came in to watch the ceremony. We built our own bridge. Our troop is organizing a recycling effort at our school for our community. We spent the rest of the meeting making posters to hang in the halls. Eyeglasses, aluminum cans, and electronics to start with, very fun! Lots of sugar and energy...hope the girls can sleep tonight;-) I know I will pass out once I make it to bed.

Marina & Jaz making posters.

Tegan & Maddy!

Marina's structure project,

Marina is following in my footsteps...

she quite a camera buff!

Our family!

Happy Tuesday!

Our weekend was awesome...Halloween, Church 2x, & a birthday party for Grammie Booth. Yesterday Steve was off so he had the privilege of taking kids to and from school. We had a great evening and a very yummy dinner of pork steaks and krub. The kids were not as excited as we were, but they are both sooo good at trying new things, at least at our house...teehee!

On our way to Trick-or-Treat!
Kendra & Jeremiah at the party!

Marina and me this morning...
She has been such a joy this week!

They both look like our kids!
We all have blue eyes and big lips.

Hunter is a babe too!
