Lots of catching up to do........






I have too much to catch up on and I will just hit the highlights. After Brandon, Gregg and I had a fun Spring Break get away Brandon and I came home to Alaska and waited for the snow to melt and for spring to arrive. Brandon geared up for his senior year of soccer and was chosen as one of the captains. The first two games of the season were cancelled due to snow on the field. Not too surprising we do live in Alaska but the snow finally started to melt and the games began the end of April!!! Brandon played awesome his first game and during warm ups the following week severely sprained his ankle and tore a ligament and his season was over. He tried giving it 2 weeks to heal in hopes of finishing the season but it wasn't to be. Lots of things happened in May. Brandon sung the National Anthem at his Graduation and walked across the stage as High School Graduate. We also had a wedding, Brady and his fiance, Samantha (we call her Sam) were married on my birthday. We are so happy and excited for them!! Gregg and I love having a daughter and Dustin, Daniel and Brandon finally have a sister. We also had a baby moose born in the wooded area of our backyard. The Mom and baby stayed in the backyard for two days. We had so much fun watching the new baby wobble around our yard!! We still see them in the neighborhood from time to time. The Mom is easy to identify cause she has a huge scar on her side. We are loving summer!!! The wildflowers are everywhere, Lupine, Chocolate Lily's and Arctic Daisies. I have seen the Caribou on the river flats several times this summer too. Never a boring day in Alaska! Mixed in with all the fun I am still packing boxes for the move to Washington. We are all going to miss Alaska but look forward to the new adventures for all of us.
