YES SHE DID!

Great Day!

Well it is Tuesday after spring break and this week so far has flown by!!! At work during P.E.; well I am having fun over there teaching Elementary P.E.. It so awesome to see those little bodies and big bodies come ready to play... i love it!! But anyways w/2nd grade working on their program they haven't had much  P.E. time but they have come a long way on their program. But for 1st graders & kindergarten we are doing parachute activities... never knew how much you can have w/ a huge parachute but we do!!! 1st grade played a game called, "Shark Attack!" Everyone sits on the floor w/feet under the parachute, griping the parachute and making waves... well then on the blow of the whistle you designate certain ones to become sharks, who are underneath the chute and who will grab the other students sitting down by their ankles and pull them under... once a student feels a shark grab their ankles, they are then to raise their arms in the air as if they are drowning and yell for a lifeguard (certain students, who are to rescue them by pulling them out!) Its so much fun to watch them when their ankles get grabbed their eyes get real big and they scream!!! so funny!!  

As for the kinder, we ran underneath we called out a certain color of the parachute and then we made a 'MUSHROOM' that's right we raise the parachute up to make a big bubble and then everyone gets underneath and sits on the edge of the parachute, so now everyone is sitting down on the edge of the parachute, so its like one huge TENT... so cool... i bet we sat underneath there for at least 3 minutes (that is a long time w/a bunch of 5 year olds!) 

As for 3rd, 4th, & 5th; we are having a DDR Dance OFF Tournament, where everyone competes and we record their score on the song chosen and then each week will take the top 10, 5, and then the top 2 for each grade, boys & girls. So eventually we will have the top 6 DDR freaks competing against each other so we will have an overall DDR Champion!!! Whether it be a girl or a boy!!! Who knows!!! The kids really love it, of course u have your knuckle heads that think they are too cool but they still do it and will do it for a prize!!! Which I haven't come up with yet, kind but not really!! So if anyone has a cool idea for a student to when a prize just let me know... i was thinking about these little 'FINGER DDR Dance pads" that the students can play using their fingers, its a small hand held game. I don't know we shall see. 

but the today ended up w/watching the first ever 'BASEBALL BUDDIES' camp... over 100 little kids showed up to learn the fundamentals of baseball taught by the high school baseball team (freshman, jv, & varsity). Sooo cool!!! I am very proud of you babe, that was an awesome thing you did today....  your an awesome coach and your love for the game shows through the work you do. Great job Coach!!! Pics will be posted in the morning or this evening... 

ohhh i just looked over to my left and cora is leaning on me, jantz is laying on her shoulder and they are out!! Tired little kiddos... Two awesome kids!!! love'em so stinkin' much!!!

2nd Half of Spring Break '9

Well, enjoyed watching some good baseball over the weekend; intended to go to 1 game but ended up going to all of them. Proud of the Coach & the kids; they are coming around; the coach has been around but the kids are jumping on board. The Bobcats got 3rd in the "Field of Dreams" tourney in Lockney. Man... what a 'FIELD'!!! Its amazing how smaller schools have better fields & facilities... I know ours is looking good but you know its kinda like when you look at a pretty woman or a handsome man; its all on the outside, you really don't know the true dirt such as the what disease that person might have or their past nada! Just like our field; it looks good on top of the surface and surrounding  but how un-level the field is or why teams really don't want to play on this field (Could that be why we don't have many home games? ummm). Now I am writing this from my heart not for Botos so people don't go assuming cause you know what that will do to ya... 

Other than going to watch Baseball; I got to have great conversations in the car w/my kiddos on the way to the game... we stopped to look at deer, cows, horses, & turkey's. Of course they wanted to feed them but sunflower seeds wasn't gonna cut it ahahha.  Along w/some stops of spanking, buckling back in their seats; I"m sure none of you all have ever had to do that and IF you haven't tell me your secret please!!! Nah... I love my kids, let them be kids. 

Well, made it to church services today. I have not made it to church in the month of March except for today. I have been out of town or just plain lazy. I got to thinking while I was sitting in the pew today, thankful my kids were sitting and drawing and being semi-quiet; but I was listening to Trey; Preachers are a lot like Coaches! They expect us to read our bibles, spread the word; do good & be good; attend church. As Coaches we expect our players or ourselves to scout other teams; be at school or u don't play; behave by not getting in trouble cause you as an athlete represent our school/ community/ team/ & u r a reflection of the coach. Its amazing how we won't miss work cause we don't have enough days to be able to miss but yet we miss church cause we had a long weekend and need to sleep in. I am so GUILTY!!! As a teenager, during youth I had a Trey & Chad Massie, two incredible guys to teach us about the Lord.  It hit me this morning how I need to be more like myself & do those little things of reading the bible, The Story or just living Christ like. I have strayed away. I have self-examined myself lately, how hateful I am; say rude remarks (maybe not out loud but to my self); blaming others instead of looking or blaming myself. Now don't get me wrong, I am proud of who I am and who I have become; but as a Christian I need be a better one.  After I left Church; I had the radio on; listening to First Baptist Church- Chad King; it was like "Casey, I have my eyes on you!" Big Brother, Big God...  what if there was d-hall for not coming to church or bible school?  However, bottom line is I will do better and be a better person. 

Until next time... mamabotos
