On July 27th, 2005 Skybacher Ministries celebrated it's first anniversary. That was the day that the ministry became incorporated. It also happens to be the day Kristie and I celebrate our anniversary. We have now been married 9 years!!! Wow that is hard to believe....

We just recently sent out our newest newsletter. Most of you should be getting that, so if you're not and you would like to please let us know. Things are going well we're just trying to stay cool like everyone else. We've been working hard on things for the ministry....

We just got back from the Outer Banks North Carolina with Kristie's family. We had 10 adults and 10 kids under 5. Things could've been really crazy, and they were but we all survived it. It was just nice to get away for a little bit. I've just spent this past week...

Just finished up my last day of school today. So unbelievably weird that I ended up most of the year teaching at Freedom Jr. High. God truly works in mysterious ways. It gave me a great opportunity to build relationships with kids right here in the backyard. Skybacher...

It's been forever since I've updated this! I'm closing out the school year at Freedom Jr. High, and then will be looking for summer work. It's amazing how God has allowed me to be in the public schools nearly everyday since November. I can tell you it's no accident....

Well it looks like everyone is finally healing up. Julia made it back home out of the hospital only to find her brother and sister throwing up and running fevers. Then she herself got the stomach flu, but she continues to be a trooper! This past Saturday we had a...

Hey gang just wanted to get the word out because a lot of people have been calling and wondering how the baby is doing, and we haven't responded to many of them. The reason we haven't gotten back to many of you is that Julia had to go back into the hospital on Monday....

We added another one to family yesterday around noon. Julia Grace was born weighing 9 lbs 4 oz and was 21.5 in long! Kristie was amazing, and Julia is beautiful! Her brother and sister have already begun to fight over who is gonna get to hold her, but they were very...

This truly is MADNESS! We are just a few days away from having our third child!! How awesome and exciting is that? A bit stressful too, but we can't wait to meet the new one. Tuesday is the day they are supposed to induce Kristie. I imagine not long after that she'll...

Well, we had our Dodgeball Blast tournament on the 15th of January, and it was awesome!! The students that came out had a blast (literally). We had nearly 100 kids come out for the event, with 3 of the teams made up of kids not connected to any particular church, but...

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and New Year. Ours was a lot of fun, but it went way too fast. We had a great turn out at the Broomball Tournament on the 17th. Six teams battled it out in the wee hours of the night, with Oak Hill Alliance taking the crown. It...

Well we had the first annual Skybacher Ministries Inc. Turkey & Stuffing Volleyball Tournament. It was a big success. We had 9 teams covering 6 different churches. It felt so good to be doing an event like that again. Thank you to all of our friends and family who...

Hello everyone!! Just wanted to give an update on the bake sales from Friday and Monday - even amidst rain, God still raised about $250 from the goodies provided by so many family and friends. He is so good!!! Thanks for all the prayers offered up for this fundraiser....

We have a family tradition that for meals we sing the Johnny Appleseed song. Which goes the Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord for giving me, the things I need, the rain the sun, and the appleseed. Ty loves this song and sings it for every meal. Tonight I gave...

Well, this is my first attempt at adding to this weblog, so I can't make any guarantees about how it turns out 🙂 Thngs have been pretty crazy here with lots of substitute teaching opportunities for John, and lots of Toys R Us night shifts...but, we're hanging in...
