Hello there!  I know...I know...it's been a while...far longer than I had hoped between postings...again!  We may as well all understand that this is going to be the normal status for me:-)

===here we go===

We finally had a big family dinner that had both Scott AND Charli!

Even Adam spent the afternoon with us! It was really nice! I don't know why I can't get this photo to turn the right way but for now...you get the point!

 So Brooke decided it was time for a change. She's been growing her hair out so she could cut it and donate it to Locks of Love!

And this was the end result! BEAUTIFUL!! And a BEAUTIFUL heart to match!

This is how we started out Mother's Day...I FINALLY got to go for a motorcycle ride!  It was awesome...and while we were out the kiddo's made a huge breakfast for me!

Charli and Adam came over for a great BBQ dinner (Thank you Scott)...Adam is the one taking the picture which is why he's not in it! (Thank you Adam)

....And.....It's official!! She done graduated :-)

A quick family pic right after the ceremony.

Brooke's Grandma Ginny, Grandpa Jim, and Aunt Evelyn all made the trip from Kansas and Colorado to be here for her big day!

Evelyn's three little cuties made the trip too!!

SOCCER IN FLAGSTAFF

Man Flagstaff is a beautiful place...these big pine trees make me miss home!

The fields at the NAU campus are awesome!  The girls had a great time during this last tournament of their season.

The teams were a bit aggressive but it was great!! ...and...

We left as champions! 1st Place! Way to go Bandits!!

Scott just got back from Korea -again- as the Scrapalators softball team flew him back to Seoul for the annual PacWide softball tournament. He was back for a week and a half...and also come home a champion! 13 wins - 0 losses!

Brooke has been busy trying to find a job...man this economy is tough for teenagers!  She's going to keep trying so she can have a little cash when she leaves for college in August. She'll be heading up to Prescott to attend Yavapai Community College in the fall and is really looking forward to it.

Brandon has been super busy with football practices and weightlifting.  They will continue to practice throughout the summer and we are all looking forward to attending football games again in the fall. Scott is still on the coaching staff at the high school but isn't able to make it quite as much as he did last year. Brandon is hoping he will be playing Varsity this season so we're all keeping our fingers crossed as well as feeding him lots of proteins for those weight lifting days! :-)

Haley just finished up her last tournament of the season and has started an indoor league for the summer to keep her skills up.  Indoor soccer is much faster than outdoor soccer and different rules but is super fun to watch!

Charli just finished up her first year of college and is still working full time at the gym.

As for Scott and I...it's always a game of keeping up with the kids, the base, and our own lives. All is good and we are enjoying life as a family all living in the same country again!

Our love to all!

Jacki, Scott & the kids!
