Summer time

Its been a good week. I have came up to the office a couple times because I forgot I needed to turn like three things in last week. Typical Jeff Trimble stuff - I know about it but why turn it in early when I can take forever and rush at the last minute. I swear its a disease - and Jeff number 2 hates it. The whole split personality thing sorry! I have a on the ball getting it done type personality and also a I've got forever so I can always wait til later one. I always seem to think "I can do that tomorrow" then I will get so behind that it becomes a goal to get everything done - which I do - then the cycle starts all over! Anyway I'm all caught up finally and getting ready for another great week of soccer camp!! After that we have a week off then head home to the great state of Ohio and our vacation! Then back for the fall season. Fun times! The blogs of a out of season soccer coach cannot be any more boring - im telling ya. A lot of swimming and cooking out!! Kelly had her big company cookout yesterday and we all swam. I tried the jump off the bored and let ur butt hit the board flip off the diving board. I was 2 for 3 on that dive and the one mess up was enough to officially retire the dive. So then I ate more steak and sausage and gently dove off the board the rest of the time. It was a fun time though! My wife did about forty front and back flips off the board - show off.

Report for Jeffrey Alec and Evan Michael

Well Alec and Evan I am assuming that some day you may read these blogs of mine or maybe your mother will tell you about them. So let me tell you about the State of the Trimble Union.

We are right now (June 11th at 1:21pm cst.) living in our first house that we not renting but actually own. We have lived here for a couple years. I am 34 and your Mom is ummm..22.. (not really but I would get in trouble for saying her age) she's younger than me and thats what's important, I guess. We have a black lab named Dakota and Alec you and her get along really well. Evan I think you freak her out a little but that's mainly because of you trying to tackle her all the time. We live in Wichita Falls, Texas and I'm the girls soccer coach for Midwestern State University. This job will probably be a lot more interesting to you as you get about 7-10 yrs. older. Your Mom works part time for an energy efficiant company. She is there for you both everytime you need her and you both love her to death.
Evan you still suck your thumb which is cute but will have to come to an end soon. Alec you read books like crazy and love to play Star Wars, you bug me everyday to go and see Star Wars 3 Revenge of the Sith. You both play soccer, a sport I would prefer you neither play. Unfortunately you both seem to have a knack for it in your own ways. Evan you also play T-Ball and really have come to like it. Your Mom and I have tried not to push you into playing sports this early but you both have asked to play and we are more than happy to help you out. Your Mom likes to yell at the games and cheer a lot while I seem to like to watch nervously and try not to get to wrapped up in them. I can be a tad intense at sporting events. You probably (as your reading this) already have experienced this. You both swim like fish and go to the Burney's pool almost everyday. We also are able to go out to their Lake house and go out on their boat. You both are already starting to water ski. You have friends and play with Dillon and Erin (the boy and girl across the street) everyday! You all play Star Wars, Pokemon or whatever all the time.
We are on summer vacation right now but in the Fall Alec you will be a third grader - good grief boy - your growing up to quickly. Evan you get to try a lil thing called Kindergarten in the Fall. Your Mom is going to have a rough day dropping you off! We do have some news for you..we are thinking of trying to have a third. This will definately change all of our lives but I have all the confidence in the world you both will be awesome big brothers. Like your Father - you both have become very proficient at the video games and I am proud. You balance this well with being outside and reading so its not an obsession (as it was for me in College). SEE COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS TO SEE HOW THAT WORKED OUT. Well I love you both and thats what the Trimble's are all about right now. I will give you both updates later in the Fall about how things are going. Love ya both!!

Revenge of the ....movie stopping

Well camp is done and all the kids survived. One of my coaches had there baby on Wednesday night so I got the opportunity to work with youngsteres for two days and take his group. We also had a goal fall over and I about called Kelly and told her to be ready to write a bigggg check to a set of parents but nothing bad happened. We had a fun weekend. I was hoping Sunday to relax and watch a lil NASCAR with my Long John Silvers meal that I get ever Sunday after church. I can't change the routinue!! Then I get informed we have not one but two soccer kids parties to go to. Alec's at 2pm and Evan's at 6pm. Both Swimming outside which is awesome after a week of being out in the sun! Plus I got the opportunity to talk to parents about soccer and "how did your camp go". I finally make it back to the house at 8pm and get ready to go see Star Wars 3. Get to the theatre and sit down, relax, watch some great previews and the film starts...an hour later- film stops. I'm no Star Wars Geek (actually I am) but that wasn't the ending I expected... oh wait there's a 14 yr. old movie attendant yelling at us to get in the hall. We're under a severe Thunderstorm warning and there's tornado's spotted. I tried to let her know that I didn't care and to start the dang film back up but everyone was already leaving. So I got my money back and drove home in 65 mile an hour winds to watch the Home and Garden Channel.

Oh I know I complain a lot about my schedule but you people haven't seen anything!!

Heres my check list for the week!

1. Watch NBA game 7 Eastern Conference Finals
2. Sleep In
3. Go to Rob's and Watch NBA game 7...oh I already said that
4. I think my son has a T ball game
5. Probably have to cook out and drink a beer
6. Go to bed late and.. oh see number 2


This is nuts, its no wonder coaches have heart attacks!! My head hurts from thinking about this week of torment.

Crap forgot about 7. watch the complete 4th season of Soprano's (for the 3rd time) because.....SEASON FIVE IS COMING OUT TOMORROW!!!! Its like Christmas and Mardi Gras without presents and well I've never been to Mardi Gras but I've heard things get a lil wacky over there. The times are a tad exciting at the Trimble household - now hopefully my wife won't read this and my schedule won't be interrupted by tedious things like "time with family" and "working around the house."

Rain?

So I go to Dallas again this weekend for our last tournament!! We are supposed to play on Saturday at 10a.m. and 2. We get the first game in and BAM rain.. the tourney doesn't get cancelled - oh no that would be to convenient - it gets suspended for twenty hours!! I have to spend all day Saturday in a hotel room watching T.V. which doesnt sound horrible but... there's forty different things going on at home I could be doing! We ended up playing the number 3 ranked team in the country for this age group on Sunday at 2pm and we tied!!! Well I put everyone of my players on defense and held on but..we tied!! The guys loved it! So Sunday morning it resumes and we play two games and of course my team picks the one weekend I want to be back in Wichita Falls to play their best so we win two games and tie one (see the above sentences) qualify for the quarter finals that night at....9pm! Who plays soccer at 9pm? well the rain messed everything up and we did! First ten minutes of the game one of my players gets a red card (automatic ejection) he talked back to the ref. in a negative manner. So we play 75% of the game a man short. Yea we lost 1-0. So I roll into W.F. at 1:15a.m. for 5 hours of sleep before opening day of our soccer camp. The only thing that will ruin a soccer camp is thunderstorms and there's a chance of them everyday this week. Are you kidding me - we're in Texas! So hereI sit typing with my eye on the accuweather website to see which storm is getting near. I am blessed to have a great camp staff and the Lord gave us great numbers this year to make our camp a success. My wife is about to kill herself answering the phone and listening to problems. Kel and I know we're lucky/blessed to have this so please don't think all I do is complain..which is close to being the truth. We are blessed and appreciate it!
