Volunteering Mostly

Don't worry I'm back!  I know I haven't blogged in forever but in my defense the last couple of weeks have been really crazy.  So crazy in fact I showed up for a doctors appointment yesterday and they informed me that it was actually the previous day.  Here is another one, I got pulled over for speeding twice in less than a week. Both times less than a mile from each other and I can honestly say I had no idea I was speeding. That, I am afraid, is how things have been going  lately.  

I have been running (driving) around too much. Between preschool and Dillon's school both in Twin Falls.  

Both Dillon and Truman were in spring soccer, and I was asked to volunteer to coach Dillon's team.  Which entails two practices and one game a week.  I know Desiree as a coach....What?  I have never played a game of soccer in my life!  Jason has played a ton and has coached, so he helped me a lot bless his heart!

 Dillon was one of the best players on his team.

The bulldogs (our name hehehe) actually did really well.  We didn't lose a game.  I was glad I got a team that was good because I really don't have the patience for stupid players.  I know it sounds harsh, but I'm just keeping it real for you! 

 Dillon was a little worker and has his dad's skills!  I actually enjoyed being their coach the kids were fun, but I was glad when it was done.

 Then there was Truman. He had only one practice and game a week that I had to run him to. This is the most action I swear he had the whole season.

 Most of the time he was like this.  He doesn't' like to move so much.  It's too much work for him.

 He did like to be the goalie.  I say did past tense, because about the second game it was really windy and the goal blew over on top of him and pinned him down.  He didn't get hurt, which is why I couldn't stop laughing!  Seriously, I could have won some sort of prize if I had caught it on camera, it was great!

 My new, or should I say old calling is in the Scouts.  I don't love my calling, coming up with something to do each week is challenging to say the least.  Here are some Teepees we made. 

 One of the bonuses has been that I have gotten to be Dillon's leader.  He just earned his bear this last month, and I got to present it to him, that was neat.  I felt bad because Jason missed it, he had to work.

 The other thing that is challenging about my calling is that I have to take all four kids and Dillon is the only one old enough to be in it.  So I constantly have them underfoot, it's alot of fun.  Here we are at the police station in Jerome.

 Hopefully this is the closest Elleree ever gets to riding in the back of a police car!

 I have also been volunteering at Truman's school once a week.  A little while ago they took a field trip and Truman's teacher asked if I could come.  We went to the park.

 We went to the library, and the post office.  I think Truman likes having me there, and I like being involved with the kids in his class and his teacher.

 When ever one of the kids in his class see me they give me a hug, it's pretty cute.

 They only know me as Truman's mom, so that is what they call me. 

 I re-upholstered my bar-stools, from this.........

to this.  You can't tell but they now have heavy duty vinyl on them, so they are now officially kid proof!
