Dolphins Game 3

Today was Game 3 for the Dolphins, they played at the Spring Glen Park against the
49ers. It was an action, penalty, and excitement filled game. The first quarter was filled with false starts on the Dolphins, I think they got called 4 or 5 times in a row, in between we should have scored at least 3 touchdowns. After getting rid of the initial case of nerves, our Defense crushed them, the entire game the 49ers got 2 first downs. Once our offense settled down, they kicked it into high gear, Taylor threw a couple beautiful passes, but they were missed my the receivers(better luck next time), He also completed many pitches, handoffs and even a quarterback sneak into the end zone for a TD. Final score was 27-0 in favor of the Dolphins- Game 4 is next Saturday...Go Dolphins! With it being September 11th and also Frontier Days in Spring Glen we watched the Boy Scouts display the colors, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem. I hope you enjoy the pics.

2 Days Down

Well I survived my first 2 days at work. So far I like it at the Jr. High, the kids I work with are pretty nice. I work for 4.5 hours a day, visit 3 different classrooms, and work with around 18 different kids. Here's to a new week :-)

Joining the Work Force

I have been contemplating going back to work for a while now, a job came available at the Elementary that I thought would be just perfect for me, so I applied, got an interview, and then was denied the job. I took it very hard, their reasoning was that I did not have enough experience...how could I not have enough experience, I have been a volunteer at that school for over 9 years....anyway I waited and another position became available at the jr. high, again I applied on Tuesday, got a call on Wed. for an interview on Thurs., went to the interview and was offered the job on Thurs. 2 hours after the interview. It is only part time, but it is my motivation to gain experience...I haven't started yet, but should in the next couple weeks. I am both excited and nervous, I have been out of the workforce for 8 years now...I am hoping all goes well. It will be a new learning experience for me :-)

First Week of School

Week 1 of school year 2010-2011 has came and gone, and I am happy to report we all survived. DaNell is now in the 9th grade and loving being an official "Freshman", Taylor is in 7th grade and so far so go, he says he really doesn't dislike any of his teachers, Schydi is up to the 3rd grade and is loving it so far, she is feeling like queen of the school since she is now the oldest one of her siblings at the elementary, and Leyton has yet to really start. His first official day of Kindergarten in on Tuesday, he seems excited, we will see how it goes. I hope he has a good day! Good Luck kids, I hope your school year is great!

Dolphins Game 1 & 2

Well the season is finally underway, Game one was filled with nervous players, fumbles, missed passes, dropped handoffs, a couple QB hits, arguing coaches, and a 14-0 loss for the Dolphins. They regrouped at practices and hit the field runnin' for game 2. Game 2 was filled with handoffs, incredible defense, the QB only got hit once (and he says it was a late hit ;-) ), completed passes, coaches working together, and a 18-0 win for the Dolphins. Taylor has really been working hard to keep his QB position, and is doing really well, he has all the plays memorized, and is able to execute. Next up Game 3 on Sept. 11--Go Dolphins!

It Has Arrived.....

Football season has already arrived, Taylor is again a member of the Dolphins so far he has been practicing in the QB slot, he is very excited to play again and get the chance to be the QB, last year he took a few snaps and made a few plays, this year he should get a better opportunity to show what he can do. Good Luck Dolphins, their first game is on the 21st of August.

Diamond Fork

Last weekend we went on a camping trip to Diamond Fork Campground. We had a few down falls on our trip starting with the fridge on our trailer catching fire, next up was the water heater in one grandparents trailer which popped its relief valve and leaked all over, my sisters trailer didn't have any power, and the other grandpa forgot to put water in his trailer. This was all on Friday afternoon, not a great start to the weekend. We had a great dinner that night, played some games, had a lot of laughs, and roasted marshmallows. Saturday morning seemed to be going quite well, a big breakfast, a little hiking, a little crafting, and relaxation. The kids had plenty of room to run wild and took full advantage of it, we did have one big crash, my nephew ended up in Payson at the ER where he received 3 stitches in his chin from his crash. He was a trooper, when he returned he was back on his scooter immediately. We then had another awesome dinner, Cornish game hens and potatoes in the dutch ovens, followed by Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside Down Cake....it can't get much better than that. Sunday morning we ended up with some unexpected visitors being herded through camp, the kids thought that was the best thing ever. (Shows you how much kids these days don't get to see thing like that). Even with the mishaps, we had a lot of fun and are looking forward to another trip in a couple weeks.

Mammoth Fishing Trip

We ventured out to Mammoth Reservoir to do a little fishing, we didn't even get a bite, but the scenery was just beautiful. After Mammoth we drove over to Boulger where we finally started catching some small fish, Schydi was the most excited, she is definitely a little fisher woman.;-)

Bridal Veil Falls

A couple weeks ago we went to Provo Canyon and had a picnic at Bridal Veil Falls with Becca and the boys. Right after we got there it started to sprinkle on us, but we didn't let it stop our fun, we bar-b-qued hamburgers and hot dogs, had chips, and enjoyed the rain. After lunch we walked up to the falls where the kids plated in the water and we took some pics. We had a great time. After the falls we watched Becca's boys for a little bit while she went to an appointment, we ventured to Old Navy then on to University Mall to go to Game Stop, Taylor picked out a few games, then it was on to home. It was a fun little outing. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Baseball Pics

One of our coaches for the Diamondbacks made us a DVD of Taylor playing baseball and copied us some great shots of him enjoying the game. He had a ton of fun this year, he played mostly catcher, but also a little pitching when called on. He's already nervous to move on to Babe Ruth next year....I am sure he will do just fine :-)
