Howdy,
welcome to the page of the only one who is sane in the
Skaggs family. Unlike my mom, dad and older sister, I
do not enjoy sitting through long, long swim meets or
Ironman triathlons. And, as for Renee, she is just a typical
annoying little sister. My parents are always nagging at me
to be nice to her but it's easier said than done. Okay,
she's alright some of the time. Anyway, I am a normal
4th-grade boy who enjoys "normal" stuff like Game
Boys, watching Sponge Bob and hanging out with my friends. I
also love surfing and swimming although I don't swim 100
hours a day like Nicole at "Death Camp." That's
just insane, don't ya' think?
Below are
some pictures of me. If you want to see more, click on our
"Photos" link above.
