Lake Skiba

One thing the kids have come to love about this new place is the irrigation. Every other week we get 4 hours of irrigation water for the yard and the pastures. One thing we didn't anticipate is that each time we water we get inundated with frogs on our porch.

Down on the Farm!

Most of you know that we recently moved (again). We have finally moved into the house that we believe we will stay in for a good long time. It is still in Queen Creek but has a lot more room - 3.3 acres of more room. The kids are loving having all the room to roam and a member of our ward has even loaned us a horse and mule to put in the pastures. The kids are loving going out every morning to feed them carrots. We will still have the unbearable heat in the summer but at least our backyard now consists of something more than sharp rocks!

Family Pix

Over the Christmas break our sister in law Tara, took our family pictures. She does a great job. She has a great website showing her work at www.tarajanephotography.com .

BYU 26 Utah 23

While we were up in Utah for Thanksgiving we were able to get some tickets to the BYU/Utah game. It was a great game. Prior to the game they let the old players come down on the field. The kids were loving it. We loved the final score!

Thanksgiving 2009

We went up to Utah for Thanksgiving at the Skiba house. The day after Thanksgiving, Spanish Fork has an electric light Christmas Parade that Skiba Auto always has a float in. We always have fund putting together the float. This year Uncle Todd had the kids pull his latest creation, the ATV trailer, with shocks!
