A personal
note from the Scovels:
A
journal about the not so ordinary life of an artist, a writer, three dogs, two
cats and a few other assorted critters who live together, work together and more often than
not - love together.
After 35 years together, living all over the United States and
surviving eight teenagers, we know family is what it's
all about. Over the years and the miles, we've been fortunate
to meet many
wonderful people who have become part of our "extended" family" .
. . fellow artists, "brothers in arms," ports in the storm and just
plain old friends to the end. We can't even imagine our lives
without you.
This part of the website is called A Personal Album -
the perfect place to keep you all posted on the goings-on at the Y-ME
Ranch.
For
friends and family, a quick update on where everyone is and what they're
up to:

Staci and her husband,
Cody, live on The Steele Ranch (Cody's family ranch) in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, with their four children, several
horses and assorted other ranch animals. (NOTE: We moved to
Fort Sumner in April of 08 after I accepted a job as CEO of the
Community Health Center here. ds) Staci is a flight nurse for
Aerocare and heads up the base in Clovis, NM, while working finishing up
Nurse Practitioner school at Texas Tech and Cody works on the ranch and
holds down the fort while Mom is away flying or going to school. Kolt, our oldest grandson, is 17,
over six feet tall and gets more handsome every year. He played
quarterback for the high school football team and they won the state
title. He's growing into such a kind and loving young man.
Johni is 14, beautiful and all about boys. She has her mother's
sense of humor and drive and will be a force to reckon with in the next
few years. Between social life, volleyball, basketball and barrel
racing, she stays plenty busy. The twins are a constant source of
entertainment. They're 7 now and in the first grade. Creed
has an unique, eccentric sense of humor that keeps us all in stitches
and Keeli is still a Princess - we hope that never changes.

Christi and her
partner, Mylessa, and the kids, Codi Ann and Calin,
moved to Fort Sumner this year - and how wonderful is that!.
Codi Ann, 14, and Calin, 11, are enjoying going to school
with their cousins and we're loving getting to spend more
time with them. Christi does some work for us
part time and is going back to school this summer to finish
her degree in History, a dream she's carried around for far
too long. Codi Ann just turned 14 (going on 20) and is
5'10"! She's always busy with basketball, volleyball
and in the spring and summer - soccer. Calin is 10 and is smart, clever, funny and mischievous. He's all
boy and loves climbing trees and turning the outside world into his own
universe. They're both growing up way to fast.

Hillary lives in Tulsa with her new husband, Mike,
her three boys and Mike's two children, Her oldest,
Jackson, is 10 and has turned into such a polite, sensitive
young man. He's more computer literate than some IT
techs I know. Maddox is a doll - 6 years old and has
the most wonderful imagination. Lane is without a
doubt, the funniest child around! He's almost 5 but is
taller and bigger than his brother Maddox and looks more
like he's 7 or 8. We genuinely enjoy all the boys when
they come for a visit.

Kevin lives in Amarillo and works at Texas Roadhouse
as a service manager. He's dating a wonderful girl, Jennifer, who
has an adorable son, Kaydn. Some of you will remember Lonny who came to live
with us when he was barely 18 and a freshman in college. Lonny did a
stint in the Air Force as a C-130 pilot and is now a Captain for
Southwest Airlines, based out of Orange County, Ca. He lives and
plays in Seattle, Washington.
