Keaton

Keaton is 18 and graduated from high school in the Spring. He wrestled throughout high school and this year placed 6th in State! He is living up North and working full time, hopefully making money and saving money. He recently completed requirements for his Eagle Scout and will have a Court of Honor in a few weeks. He loves four wheeling, fishing, paintballing, and mom's sugar cookies.

Mikenzie

Mikenzie is 15 and can hardly wait to turn the magical age of 16. After all, life will begin when she can drive and date:) She is in 10th grade and enjoying her first year of high school. She just completed her 2nd year of running cross country. Last year she took 1st place in the JV Region Meet. This year she has run varsity all season and her team qualified to go to State. It was a good experience for her and she had a great time at State! She loves friends, clothes, texting, food, and boys, although I'm not sure in that order.

Gage

Gage is 12, but will be 13 soon and can hardly wait to be a teenager. He is in 7th grade and is a super student. He loves scouts, mutual, basketball, hanging out with friends, and playing WII or any other video games. He recently mowed lawns over the summer and bought his own laptop computer. A few weeks ago he participated in his first triathlon and did really well, placing 3rd in his division and took 8th place overall which included men and women.

Noah

Noah is 8 and was baptized this year. He is in 3rd grade and loves it. Recess is one of his favorite subjects:) He is full of energy and never sits still. He loves all sports and is currently playing soccer, has signed up for basketball, and is also in wrestling. If there were more days of the week, he would want to sign up for another sport. He has enjoyed scouts the last several months and may be the only one that loves "hand shakes" more than his dad.

Madison

Madison is 6. Her hair is actually shorter now. On her 6th birthday she cut it and donated it to "Locks for Love". She loves playing with friends, dressing up, and started soccer this Fall. She loves first grade and her daddy. He can't leave the house without her hugging him and running out to the car to wave good-bye. Her favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star which both her mom and dad have to sing to her every night at bedtime.

So.......this is blogging?

So........this is blogging? I've seen a few and lately had a couple of friends start one. I've enjoyed reading about their families and I don't scrapbook. I take pictures, but there is no organization to them so I thought I might try this and see how it works. If anything, my children will enjoy it. I'm pretty computer illiterate so this may be a challenge, but I'm up for it. Wish me luck!

As for the name, The Thompson "Scoop", our family loves ice cream. Almost every night at our home you can count on someone having a bowl of ice cream or a "hand shake" as Mike calls it. It is probably our most important food group. If you ever need a treat come on over!:)
