TGIF!!! I hate cleaning house, not really but when I get in the mood to clean house I tend to want to rearrange furniture...I started at 7 last night and picked up and put away toys and junk & got to vacuum. No dusting really got done or kids laundry put away. I really clean when I know I am having guests over. Well, tonight I am having a some of JV VB girls come over since the football game is all the way to Muleshoe...sorry I am not going... not a good coach's wife I guess but traveling w/two kids under five...no way!!! plus it will be cold and I hate the cold!!! So tonight at my part we are going to play the Wii, bake cookies, & have pizza. But whole point is for me to give these girls something to do rather than just sit at home or be somewhere I don't want them to be...it will have fun!!! Still have cleaning to do, imagine that...bathroom, laundry put away or hide it in the closets ; ), clean windows, & erase the wonderful art work on my walls from sidewalk chalk.
I started this blog this morning and its now after lunch. Sorry my A.D.D. kicked in..I hope everyone has a great friday and I tomorrow is an eventful day in Childress...pumpkin carving contest, cousin's are design word art....and Botos and I have a date!!! Oct. 25th is a special day two special things happened on this day...1st I was baptized on this day by Trey & Second this is the day the Botos and I had our first date, twelve years ago!!! Five of those years were have been married...
I will update u on our date on next time...
Until next time...Mamabotos

Oct. 23rd, Thursday
Here is a picture of Botos & and I and Lori (sister) dressed up for the Halloween Party we attended last weekend.. Wilma & Fred!!! Lori went as a nun...we had a great time!!
Good day!! I got to finally see my kids...what I mean by that is I left to go to work Tuesday morning, had a volleyball game that night, of course when I got home they were asleep, got up Wednesday morning, got up and went to work and saw them at lunch...I miss my kiddos...life a coach/teacher...always going going going going...
Well, listening to K96, I heard one of my favorite songs, "The Rose"...its such a pretty song and one I think I can sing when I am alone in my car..but K96 no longer just plays country...they play it all...from today to the oldie goldies...
I love pictures...pictures can tell a lot or say nothing at all....I got out of the habit of taking pictures, but now I carry my camera everywhere...cause u just never know when you will need it....
Okay...my mind is blank and I am trying to look up prices to add a climbing wall(s) to the gym here at Elementary and order DDR Pads (DANCE DANCE REVOULTION) Its really neat. So, peace, stay warm cause you know I am!!!
Until next time...MamaBotos

Oct. 20th
Good Morning! I am getting bad about not updating daily...but I don't have time to sit down a fart lately, take that back...yesterday I did, just ask my husband...: ) Last week was Homecoming week...great week...I always love Homecoming...the parade was awesome...the lighting of CHS was great except for the firecrackers..I did see a little boy get hit in the face with one...I assumed it had to come from the CHS...but he was alright....The kids have got to get better about throwing candy though...either get more or conserve them toward the end...I don't think they realized how many people were their!
Saturday night, my husband and I went to a Halloween Party...it was great!!! We went as Fred & Wilma...of course we froze our booty's off but we knew how to build a fire..hahahha. It was nice to get a way and hang out with friends & mingle. There were some other great costumes...
Sunday, made it to church...late but made it and Trey says it better to be late than not to come. After church, we headed to Estelline for my Granny's 75th birthday party. We had a big lunch, got to visit..beautiful day...the kids were able to stay outside and play. All around great day!!! My uncle Charlie cooked up some awesome meat & beans...maybe that was the reason for me being able to fart : )!!!
Kids are getting big...Nate Bundy was talking about that during his sermon yesterday and then I looked over at mine and they really have. Cora & Jantz are playing together, starting to scheme up things, still fight, wanting to do more & go more places. Love'em!!!
Until tomorrow or next week...Mamabotos

A Week Later...
Well, I am sitting in a blog class...during our teacher workshop at CISD. Been a crazy day...started off warm and now its freezing & raining & COLD!!! Haven't learned much today...refreshed my mind a little bit. But a good thing is I have gotten to see my hubby throughout the day...I don't know if he is excited..but I love you babe!!!
Volleyball team won a big game friday night...beat Dimmitt!!! Yea....it was awesome to beat them at their place...urrggghhhh.... Football team won huge 55-14...Way to go Bobcats!!!
I know I know more to write about last week bu last night was a pretty special night. Two reasons: 1) Cora Lee decided she wanted to go spend the night with Nanna (mother-in-law). So she called and asked and of course she said yes. So...got her dressed, packed her little back pack, put on her jacket, and a flashlight. She wanted to walk over to her house. I got my hug & kiss and I watched her daddy lead her to the street and she walked across toward Nanna house.
It was cute, it was dark, she had asked Jantz if she could borrow his flashlight. He didn't want too but we let her anyway cause daddy took hers away and couldn't remember where he put it. But it was soo sooo cute to see her walking and that light from the flashlight shinning everywhere...she is getting so big!!!
Reason #2) Jantzer...little man. He was like the only child. He was so lost just looking around trying find something or someone to hit or pester. Poor Tamber (dog) who is on her last leg, was getting a few cheap shots from Jantz. So...I found a monster truck game online and so he and I sat on the couch racing monster trucks....only made it to level two. Horrible driver but little man liked to see & hear the truck crashes!!! Then he got tired and wanted to go to bed. So Botos, Jantz and I went to bed. But here is the highlite...As were laying there, Jantz put his arms around behind our heads and said :I love ya super way bunch!" It was so awesome...we all had a great night.
Until tomorrow...Mamabotos

Monday, Oct. 6th
What a day...Had a great day at work...kids were wild, I guess due to the weather change. Can't believe its October yet but I am loving the cooler weather. I did decorate but due to the windy weather we had the other day/night it blew them all down. So right now they are in a pile up against the house.
After school I got to coach the Junior High 7th & 8th grade volleyball 'B' teams. Had a great time, plus it gives me a chance to know the girls. As you may know we are one JH coach short this year. Coach Hardin got diagnosed w/leukemia and is out till Christmas. He is our 8th grade coach. So Amy Inman is having to do all practices and games. But not all games...all the 'B' team games we are coaching, us other coaches on the staff. The results of my game were 1-1, lost one, won one.
After the games I got to go to Booster club basically to have supper...I pretty much don't cook, Botos can vouch for that, but on Monday's is Booster club...Tuesday & Friday/Saturday vb/fb games; Wed...if church is cooking that week, & thursday well oh...if Botos has a football game then its concession stand. I know I am terrible. During booster club my husband stayed for the film while I took the kids to 'open' gym to play basketball... I think Jantz might be a lefty they we he dribbles and Cora and I were working on her defensive slides...& her dribbling, ball handling, shooting...etc....; )
We finally made it home and so everyone got showers & baths. I love watching the kids learn to wash themselves...their little hands. Speaking of hands, I received an email the other day talking about 'HANDS'...what would we do without our hands...they (hands) write for us, scratch and itch, brush our hair & teeth, put on our clothes, type, tie shoe laces, feed us. Even our hands hurt w/a minor paper cut...I am thankful for my hands. The next time your having a bad day...just like at your hands and thankful...your day can't be as bad as someone not having any hands....Also hands tell us a story of our lives, I know my look like and old lady hands already due to the sun...; )
Well, the day finally ended, Cora snuggled up to her daddy & I had Jantzer..we were all out in a matter of 15 minutes of getting in bed...yes the kids still sleep w/us...that is the reason why we still only have two kids still!!! Have a great day...

Shelling Peas
Well, I just got back from my grandparents in Estelline. Had a wonderful time...2 reasons we went: 1-visit my grandparents & 2- Botos can go target shooting w/his new gun. Sorry about the short blog about him but I didn't want to publish it so i thought by closing it out it wouldn't...but it did.
Did many things tonight at my grandparents, visit, listen to stories, watched kids catch caterpillars, & shelling peas. Now shelling peas is a great thing that many people don't do very often. My mom had brought out a grocery sack full of black eyed peas needing to be shelled. She started off doing it by her-self, next thing you know, I am shelling, my grandparents, little cousins are learning how to shell peas....ages ranging from the age of 2 to 83 sitting around outside shelling peas and talking. Which leads to my next topic is talking...the topics that we were talked about while shelling peas...I love to listen and around my family when we all get together you can't much in as it is. So I just sit and listen. Stories from grandparents are the best...its amazing the knowledge they can pass down. The topics talked about tonight were: cousin Carey and her pregnancy, getting rid of flies (what works & what doesn't); Obama becoming President (how long he will last); how to shell a pea; which peas to keep & which ones to throw away; lotion for dry skin; killing rattlesnakes (who had killed the biggest & the baddest); kids dropping their pants to crap; places they crap at (my son did this morning in the tub, him alone!); eyeglass frames; church; food; & of course mosquitoes.
One thing we all hear or sayings or myths...like for example: a hot summer means a cold-hard winter or went tarantulas are crossing the roads or animals hover in a corner on a field it means its going to rain. One I heard tonight was: for every foggy morning in September means a day of snow on the ground in December. Interesting one... I hate the cold, I hate being cold and right now I have on long pants, socks on, and wrapped up in a blanket typing this blog. **I can't wait to be in a nursing home...its always warm, they can feed me, & wipe my butt cause I probably won't be able too...: )!
Well my evening is winding down and I need to edit my post about my husband and we are sitting down watching the outdoors channel, which I will explain under my husbands post....
About my kiddos...Cora is learning how do cheers, BOBCATS is the BEST! (she says); Jantz is getting tall...learning to speak & talk a little more clearly. Tonight he was looking out the truck window looking for stars and he drank his first chocolate milkshakes...he drank all of his daddy's.
until tomorrow... Mama Botos
