Summer Vacation!

We just finished up our big summer vacation for the year. We ended up driving more than 2300 miles round trip and went through five states. Luckily most of the driving was done in Grandpa Norm's motorhome which he let us borrow for the trip. We started out in Springville, Utah visiting Grandpa & Grandma Skiba and going to the Art City Days parade. We then made the trip up to see Grandpa Eddy & Granny Lanny who are serving a mission at the Willie Center in Wyoming. We got to visit a lot of neat church history sites and even pull a handcart with the kids up to Martin's Cove. The last leg of the trip was up to Yellowstone where we got to spend a few days.

Like a Fish in Water!

Now that the kids are out of school Powell and Hannah have joined a swim team. The have practice every day and today had their first meet. Hannah took 4th and Powell was beat out by a hair to take 2nd place!

Father & Son Outing!

Powell and I went to the annual Father & Sons Outing. We look forward to this every year. This year we went up to a campground just outside of Payson, AZ.

Spring Sing

Every spring the kids' school puts on a program out on the lawn in back of their school. Hannah was very excited this year to finally sing in the Spring Sing.

London

Our friend took some pictures of London. She is starting to get big (kind of!). She is 3 1/2 months old

Sammy & Sophie Turn 5!

Samantha and Sophia turned five and to celebrate we unleashed the Skiba family on Peter Piper Pizza. They have come a long way over the last five years. We can't believe they will be starting kindergarten in the fall!
