Soccer Days Spring 2010

So we made it through another Soccer season. Don't get me wrong but with Tia still in dance, Bowdee in Scouts, Treg in T-ball all on top of Soccer gets really busy. But we loved every minute of it. All of our kids are playing so great. I love Bowdee's competitiveness, Matia's aggression, and Treg's drive. They all are wonderful thanks kids for giving it your all this year again. I promised Treg I would coach his team this year. But I had 2 male assistant coaches so I made Terry be the main coach and I was his personal assistant. It was a fun year those kids are so stinking cute!

Bowdee's Handcart Trek

My pioneer handcart trek was a blast! I got to be in the mormon battalion. I steered 80% of the way. Right before we got to camp we had to cross a river and I went barefoot so my shoes wouldn't get muddy. Before we got to camp a lady told us stories about pioneer children and about the Willie and... ( I forgot the other one.) Then Mr. Larson told us our stations. I got to go with Mr. Larson and the addladdles first (even though it is not a pioneer skill it was still way too fun:). Then we went to rope making, I even got to keep my rope. Then we went to pioneer games, missionary tag was my favorite. Then we practiced our field day dance, since my partner wasn't there I had to be a girl. Then we learned about odometers (yyyyaaaawwwwnnnn;). For lunch we had mouth watering beef stew and delicitable cornbread with a scrumptions peach cobbler for desert! We ate off tin plates and a tin cup. Then off to school we treked. On the way back everyone got a turn to ride in the handcart. But I didn't want to so I pushed the whole way. Then everyone in my group got in the handcart while the parents steered and I pushed (don't feel like I was left out because I really wanted to push and not ride.) We got back to school right when our parents were there to pick us up. And that was my handcart trek experience. One I will remember along time. For comments please send to bowdazaffa15@gmail.com.

The Golden Soccer Ball Play

Matia's class wrote a play named "The Golden Soccer Ball". Then they designed and painted a background and then performed it for their parents last night. This was the first play Matia has been in and she did such a good job. As I was sitting in the crowd I kept hearing "Look at that pirate in the red and white striped shirt, she is hilarious!" Ya that would be our little dramatic Matia! For me it was hard to watch anything else because she was so funny! All the kids did a wonderful job I am so thankful for teachers who go above and beyond to do their best and have such fun opportunities for these kids.

Preschool Graduation

Today was our big day... Graduation Day! The house was clean, yard trimmed, the kids knew their parts, class DVD was made, yearbooks printed, and the chairs were set up... but I still was not ready to let go of these good kids. Each one of them has taught me so much this year. I feel like I am becoming a better person each year I do this because of the influences that surround me. Thank you kids for being such great little people! All of you have so much potential and such BIG hearts! I will truely miss those of you who will not be returning next year. I wish you the best in all your future education. Just keep doing your best and you will accomplish amazing things. I truely love my job! I love spending time with these little kids. They have so much to offer me. Thank you Terry for all the work you did helping me set up. And all the patience you have with me in my stress moments. I could never pull it off without your support and faith in me.
