Summer is About Over....

I have had a wonderful summer BUT I wish it would last whole another month! This week has been good but depressing. Cora started Cheer Camp this week. Some reason the only cheer she can remember, "Shake It, Roll It, Pop It, & Drop It!" Ummmm i don't remember cheers like that... I remember "Firecracker Firecracker BOOM BOOM BOOM!" lol. AND I don't remember it being in a nice cool AC Gym.... it was held out in the courtyard, where you rolled, and did pyramids on the grass!!! hahaha. lol. Times have changed! But she is enjoying it and that is all that matters.

Now back to school,,, NO no more discussion about school.

I really don't have much to say, just blah. Ever have those days? I'm sure more ladies than men. But as moms, I think those days come every other day! Or that is what it seems like lately. I don't know. I am rambling.

I am sitting outside, in my backyard, watching my kids who keep blowing out the centranela candles OUT AND then ask me to re-light them!? ugh!!!! Also my kids love to wrestle, ever since we pulled up our carpet, its not very fun to wrestle on hard wood floors.

I just heard music to my ears... Cora says that she is sleepy! So we are off to "take a bath & go to bed!"

Until next time... Mamabotos.

What a day!

Had a wonderful day today. Got up, watched a movie w/the kids "Look who's talking Too." Great movie. Then we headed to the pool, 11:30-2:30... great times. Enjoyed time w/my sister and niece & nephew.... My son, Jantz finally built up enough courage to go off the diving board. A huge Thank You to 'Drankster' (Drake Rabey).

After swimming, I came home and cooked supper. According to Faith Self "Momma cooking Big!" I love that saying, thanks Faith. I cooked meatloaf, greenbean casserole, & mashed tators!!! It was awesome.

Now we are all sitting down watching "My dog named Skip." Kids are glued to it. Have a great night!!!

until nextime... Mamabotos.

Birthday's

Every year we all experience a Birthday, what an awesome day. We have been celebrating birthday's like crazy it seems like... we have 4 birthdays in July all w/a week of each other. Jantz I were able to have a party together, feel so bad for him. He has yet to have his own birthday party. his firts b-day at NY Yankee stadium, 2nd birthday, ummm don't remember, maybe Chuckee Chees's. Now 3rd birthday, at the firework stand'. So we got back from Red River we had a great cookout and cupcakes for our birthdays.

Jantz turns 3 & I turn 31!

Blow out your candles and make a WISH!

Opening my presents...

Started a new collection, Trail of Painted Ponies.

Such an awesome collection I have started. I had a teammate in college who's father collected these horses, his collection is over 150 horses! Such an awesome display I will have someday. You may check out their website at "The Trail of Painted Ponies."



Until next time.... Mamabotos

Rowdy Float Trip

Wow, My husband and I had a great mini-vacation before coaching school, which I can't believe school is just right around the corner... ugh. BUT Botos & I took our camper and decided to camp at O'Henry's Hideaway... owned and operatd by O'Henry himself. He bought the land 10 years ago for 35,000.000 and currently selling it for 1.5 million!!! It would be an awesome job.

We floated the river twice a day, sometimes 3 times a day. We met so many people, mostly coaches/teachers. But cool people, lifetime friends... such a good time. Enjoy the pictures.

Day 2 in RR, New Mexico

RIO GRAND GORGE, TAOS NM

PUEBLO INDIAN RESERVATIONS

FISH HATCHERY (LARGEST IN THE STATE NM)

KIDS FEEDING THE FISH...

Had a great day today. We did a lot of traveling, we drove the Enchanted Circle, which consisted Red River, Taos, Angle Fire, & Eagle Nest. It was very long w/four kids ALL under the age of 6... all you moms out there can related. Of course Mom & I had to sit in the back w/all the kids while Dad & Botos had the front to themselves. But right before we left Taos we had to take one last potty break... of course I was the chosen one to take all three little ones to go pee... I mean poop! Of course it was Jantz who needed to poop; u know how long it takes men to do their business. I had Kennedy & Cora doing the Pee-Pee dance so I looked at the sink..... no I didn't.... YES I DID! I simply picked up Cora and told her to pee, of course she looked at me like I was crazy but my patient was running thin and there was a long long line in the gas station. So Cora went, then Kennedy and BAM surprise Jantz finally got done. Then I gladly got to go in the toilet. LOL!

We finally made it back to our condo and we decided to fish & swim. Now we are cooking up our fish! Smells soooo good. Now I leave u.

Until next time.... Mamabotos.
