Pioneerzz swept

The season and playoffs did not end well for the Pioneerzz. Lost 51 games in the season, and then swept out of the playoffs by the team with the worst record in the league. It looks like it will be Brian Grebeck vs. Mike Smith (or Long Beach vs. Chico) for the championship.

There were not many people at the game tonight. I have a very bad feeling that was the last baseball game to ever be played by the St. George Pioneerzz.

Tonya helps out at school today

Not only does Taylor go to school today, Tonya will be going in at 10:30 to volunteer for 1 hour. She plans on doing this every Thursday. Shaylie will be going over to the Browns.

Pioneerzz lose again

The pioneerzz have to win the rest of the games this week or they are done. For the second game in a row, Brian Grebeck (our former manager/player) had a breakout game with 3 doubles and 2 key RBI's. Tonight they come home, so you can guess where I will be.

In the other series, Mike Smith, our former pitcher, lived up to form and pitched six-innings of shut-out baseball to help Chico to a 3-0 victory and a 2-0 series lead.

Pioneerzz lose game 1

The Pioneerzz lost game 1 of the playoffs to Long Beach. They were shutout until the 8th inning. Hopefully tomorrow night will be better.

Today is the day!

Taylor finally starts going to school on a regular basis this morning. Now she will go to school from 8:30 to 11:30 everyday. She is very excited to go. Or neighbors are going to go to her school, so soon she will be able to walk to school, which she wants to, but we are not sure about.

Taylor's friend Nick moved away last night. It was fun to talk to them before they left. Taylor has already promised to write and said that she will come for visits. Maybe she will even bring us along :-)

It's a Sad Day!

We just got back from a nice visit with our neighbors, the Henrie's. We are sad because tomorrow they are moving to Orem. Todd got transferred to the KMart store on University in Provo and it is a good change for their family, but we will miss them. Especially Nick. Taylor and he have been such good friends for the last three years. We were looking forward to sending the kids to school together this year, but now they are looking forward to being pen pals.

We have exchanged addresses and hopefully we won't lose touch. We are going to try to make it a point to visit each other.

We made it!

We made it through the first official week of school. Taylor loved her first day. We went back for the Kindergarten Pre-assessment on Wednesday. Mrs. Stewart asked Taylor all about reading and writing. She had Taylor write her name and tell her about her favorite story. I had to explain that we make up our own stories when Taylor started telling her favorite about "a girl named Taylor Lyn." She starts back to school everyday on Tuesday at 8:30. I think it is going to be a great year. Scott went to Back-to-School night last night. (I was sick, so unfortunately I didn't get to go.) He got a lot of information on the classroom and the school. Including a pamphlet to join PTA!

Tonight we leave for Holden and Chad & Krissy's open house. They made it back from their Honeymoon on Tuesday and started school on Thursday. Hopefully, they will have a nice turn-out. We won't be able to stay long because Scott is in charge of Sharing Time in Primary this Sunday. He's going to do his take-off on Millionaire called, "Who wants to be Really Blessed?" The kids loved it the last time!
