I've had a wonderful vacation. Not much into details, will let the pictures speak for themselves BUT I will share some stories.
We left Childress on a Thursday evening, loaded up and packed up. Myself, Botos, Jantz, Cora, Vicki (Mother-in-law) & Justin (Brother-in-law). First destination Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We drove all night to get our cabin. Made it to the cabin and the first thing we did was.....Zorbit Zydro RIDE!!! That's right! Botos, myself & Justin crawled inside a big bubble, filled w/a little bit of water and rolled down a big hill. So were are just sit'n sliding & laughing so loud! What a rush, but a blast!
Spent the whole next day riding go-karts, Vicki crashing into people causing wrecks, lol! Even had go-karts for the kiddos to drive, what joy to watch the kids drive and bump into each other, plus planning to block each other. Crazy driving kids.
3rd Day: Spend the day in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Beautiful little town, here they host a Midnight 4th of July parade. To kick off the 4th w/a lighted floats. The Grand marshal this year was: Catherin Bach (Daisy Duke). She still looked the same, beautiful. Behind her was THE General Lee, Boss Hog in his Cadillac , cop car!
I am thankful went back to Tennessee. We found out about all this 4 years ago when we traveled up to New York and came back down to Grant, Alabama. We told ourselves we are gonna come back when Jantz's 5th birthday. Its like a mini-Branson!!! I encourage you folks to vacate when vacation. drive 15 hrs and go through other states, not just the state of Texas.
4th Day: Today is July 4th and we ended up in Clarksville, TN at Botos' cousin Trina's home. here our kids finally met some other cousins for the first time. They have a pool (yes my dream home) & everything you can imagine for kids. We spent the evening enjoying fireworks.
5th Day: Today our kids went out on the river to ride tube behind a boat! Freaking blast!!! See their faces light up and smiling, laughing, yelling 'go faster go faster!" Also, Botos & I tried wake boarding.... hard hard hard! Kuddos to Trina & Jaime for trying to help us out... had a lot of laughs & sore, oh my goodness we were sore for 3 days!!! lol
6th Day: Off to Indiana to Spring Mill Inn, State Forest. Beautiful, nice, & cool air. Stayed her for 2 nights. It is in Mitchell, IN where Botos went to high school. So we got to meet a lot of his friends and visit. It was great to see Botos' face light up to see some of his buds. True Friends, they are. Can't wait to go back in a couple of years for his 20th reunion!!!
8th day: headed back to Tennessee to pick up Justin & Vicki and last stop, Grant, Alabama. here lives Grandpa Tony Botos. Great guy!!! Boy does he love his grandsons.
9th day: Here we got to visit the Cathedral Caverns. Wonderful, awesome, one of a kind Cavern w/a great love story that follows it. After visiting the cavern, the only bad thing is it makes you want to go the bathroom & remind you when your walking in a cavern/cave...there are NO bathrooms. lol After saying our good-bye's we heading back to Texas.
Our way back we stop and watched 'Greyhound Races'. Oh man, this was a first for me...such an adrenalin rush to watch those dogs run. DID YOU KNOW? They no longer chase a rabbit, its a bone. (due to animal rights) AND so they buried the rabbit out in the middle of the field, w/a head stone... got told to remove that as well (animal rights) & so no longer do the dogs chase a rabbit, its fury bone. AND AND was told in Mexico at their dog races they let monkey's ride on the back of the dogs like jockey's!! NOW that would be awesome to see!!! lol
10th day: Made it home at 7 in the morning, July 10th. First the kids did when we got home was walk over to Mammy & Pappy's house to wake them up, since they have not seen them in 10 days.
Until next time...Mamabotos

June 2011
So far the month of June has consisted of us kiddos going to the pool EVERYDAY! We love to swim, plus what better way to get your kids better at swimming. I know I spent many many hours at the pool. Just being a kid!
June 1st we spent the day in Amarillo at Chuckee Cheese's for my nephew's Birthday, Luke Joshua!!! He is such a hoot, love that boy. he is doing so well, he got his cast off and is now getting used to walking with out the cast but he is still going strong! Luaghing and giggling the whole way. Cora hit jack pot on a 'Spongebob"game... the manager even came over and said it was broken BUT some other kids were quick to tell him NO, that she just won big!! Then they (little girls) turned around and won!!! lol
After the party, our little family went and watched Kung Fu Panda 2. It was great! Kids were into it and so were Botos & I. Oh... nothing beats a big bucket of movie popcorn with BUTTER!!! Found out Jantz likes the butter too! hahahah
This past week the kids attended VBS at Calvary Baptist, loved it. Had a special moment... One night Jantz got out of the car carrying his money bag. I had told him to leave it in the car, his response was, "No Momma, there is a little girl who needs a new heart and I am gonna help her get a new heart!" Needless to say, I shut my mouth and gave him the biggest hug ever! by the way the little girl he was speaking of his Ryanne Self, daughter of Scott & Sarah Self, Scott was a classmate of mine.
Botos & I are "Spur of the moment" kind of home projects people. So we up and decided to paint our living room and dining room. We went from sage green to a "sand beach" in the living room and "light turquoise" in the dining room. So basically looks like a the sands of a beach & turquoise of the ocean water! WOW, what its amazing what a little paint can do, makes our rooms look bigger, cleaner, and homey. Even though I had to cover up all of Cora's art work, sad but truly needed to be done.
Botos & I played in a co-ed softball tournament this past Saturday. First game at 8, which was tough, ugh. BUT by the end of the day I had played 6 games, our team placed 2nd overall. Long, hot, windy, dirty day ended up at the pool! Yep, it was still 102 at 8 o'clock so we had to go jump in and start working on getting all this soreness out. I think I am more sore than Botos, but I did about 500 squats b/c I was catcher. I chose to squat than stand & bend over every time... next time I just might stand! lol Two hits I am most proud of his 1- Botos' grand slam to help win the game to go to the championship and 2 - my triple in the championship.
This week, the kids are attending our Church's VBS. No home projects, but at the business we are tearing down the awning. Also this summer the kids have been attending Summer Reading at our local public library. They have enjoyed it, plus it has helped Cora get used to reading for first grade.
This week also, I am gonna try to take the kids to the 'midnight' premiere of 'Cars 2' at the Sandel Drive-in at Clarendon. So, hopefully i can take them swimming, long nap, then off to Clarendon!!! I'll be sure to let you know how that goes! lol
Pics to come soon... Hope you have a wonderful day.

May 1st
Today is Botos' Birthday! He is -- yrs old! I know so young right? We started the day off eating breakfast at the Kettle. he loves the Kettle, really iHop but not one near. Came back home & I crashed!!!
I finally decided to get back up and do nothing. lol I did do something, I booked our family vacation with my parents this summer. We will be going and staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. Right now you can buy 2 nights and get the 3rd night FREE!!! We will be going during the time of Texas High School Coaches Clinic in Ft. Worth. I have yet to go and I think I am more excited the kids... hee hee.
Botos & I sponsored the Jr./Sr. Prom and we had fun! We danced and visited w/the kids. Its so nice to the kids all dressed up! So many beautiful young ladies and handsome young men. Great time!
Cora had her gymnastic recital last week. That little stinker surprised me!!! I sometimes like to go in and watch practices but she told me no! So I didn't. Come the day of the recital that girl did a backhand spring all by herself!! little aid from Mrs. Kim, but I was so happy for her! That was her goal to learn to do one of those this year and by golly she did it. 4 yrs of gymnastics is paying off and she loves, loves gymnastics. She will just turn a cart wheel in the middle of the aisle of United, Wal-Mart, any parking lot.... crazy girl.
Jantz is growing up! he is only 4 but I treat him like a student! He is getting ready for summer to go swimming, mmmm imagine that. He is ready for a big boy bedroom sooo I guess that will be my first project of the summer or some weekend. He wants a big bed and a flat TV, oh lord help me!!! lol
Bobcat Baseball is in play-offs!! First play-off game will be this Friday, vs. Floydada Whirlwinds at Canyon RAndall at 5. Playing best 2 out of 3. Game time on Saturday will be 12:00. Come out and support those boys! They have been working really really hard. Proud of the team and coaches.
Until next time... Mamabotos

Great WEekenD
Friday was a great day! Hot but great! Got Cora a book from Ronda Friend, "PU You Stink!" Ronda Friend is author of Books called "Down on Friendly Acres." She was really entertaining and so glad I was able to see her talk and act out her stories.
After school Friday, the kids and I went to Altus w/Botos to watch JV Bobcat Baseball play. Granted JV played their Varsity first and then their JV, their Varsity beat us 14-2. It was good for our sub teams to play every now and then. Whether they lose, they can still improve and get better at things they need to work on. On the way their both kids crashed. They slept for about 2 innings out in the car. No don't go call CPS...lol they were fine. But after-wards we ate and in the bathroom above the handle someone had wrote I <3 u. so on the way home, Jantz tells Cora that he loves her. He said it twice and Cora then said, "I know! Just like it said in the girls restroom!" I busted out laughing and Botos had no clue, until I told him. LOL Priceless moment.
Saturday--- Botos left to go to Clarendon to coach up the Bobcat Baseball teams. Kids & I stayed home. However, Botos did leave us some doughnuts w/our all of our favorites inside. On top of the box he wrote, "have a great day! love dad" awwwww. Well, after that we headed over to my sister's yard sale. She did good! But I was glad she didn't sell the furniture for Cora's room. I know everyone asked about it. Sorry their ladies.
Came home and started overhauling the house. First room Cora's! oh lord... i took out 3 bags of trash, 2 bags for yard sale. Took out furniture, moved some in. She now has drawers...its so nice now. Next room Jantz's. it wasn't that bad b/c I just cleaned out his room. But i had 2 bags of trash and 1 bag for yard sale. I did call my mom and asked if she could help me. I am so lucky to have a mom that can come and help clean and still teach me a few things. She took over the laundry and the kitchen. I took over the rest of the house. BUT WOW!!!! My house is cleaned, organized, and its open. What I mean by that is we don't have carpet in my house anymore!
That leads me to today, Sunday. We slept w/the windows opened and all ceiling fans on high. Both kids slept in their bed until who knows when b/c they both ended up in our bed. I got up and went to church. Felt great, why is church like running? Its so hard to get up and go but when you do, you feel so much better after-wards?! Came home and started in our room, the only room w/carpet!
So, here are Botos & I thinking we don't have to move any furniture out, we can pick it up and the other can pull the carpet from underneath, right? WRONG! out goes Botos' back. So we both ended up in the living room to recuperate and ended up watching a movie, SALT, and Botos fell asleep. I am sitting and said to myself, gotta get that carpet up!!! So i go in there, move out a dresser, a TV, and a chest. Not light by any means. I start cutting the carpet up in sections b/c there was no way I was gonna be able to move our bed!!!! So I cut around the bed in sections, after each section I would open up the bedroom window and throw out the carpet and padding. But the hard part was under our closet doors. that was a booger!!!
Then at the right time, my parents walk in and I put them to work! lol Dad then busted out the trim and mom and I pulled out staples. Underneath all that carpet lied good, GOOD hard wood floors! So now that is what lies out through out the house besides the bathroom. I was able to put back all furniture and now I need to go put sheets on and lay this tired body down! I could hardly move today, its a sure sign of getting old when your sore the next day from cleaning house!!! lol
Power hour was awesome! Came home, hubby had supper ready. I ate, then went for a run and its 9:00 o'clock. It has been an awesome weekend for me. I hope all of yours have been as well.
I ran 3 times last week, I hope to run everyday this week and lower my time a little bit. I am still running just 1 mile a day. But I was thinking maybe in the middle of the week I just try to run the Full of Bull route. ummmm we shall see.
Until next time...Mamabotos!

Finish the Week
So the running thing has been good. I ran my first mile on Tuesday evening, not liking the whole starting on a Monday. lol I ran a little under a mile, right around 9 mins....didn't think it was too bad for not running in a year and half. My second mile was last night and I had 4 kids on bikes following me! It was so funny looking. Me and My get-a-long-gang! but it made me NOT want to walk in front of the kids, so that I can push myself to do better so the kids can see me trying to get in better shape and do what is right.
Cora lee has been wanting to run with me. I am not gonna lie, we probably run the same pace! lol But we surprised her last night w/her NEW BIKE! My kids go through bikes like shoes! But I am not complaining. Those kids ride bikes EVERYDAY for about 2 hrs before its time to come in (when the street lights come on!)
T-Ball: Both kids are playing T-ball this year and are on the same team, TEXAS RANGERS! Jantz is so excited and now he wants to play golf, which we have signed Cora up for Junior golf. I love golf! I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did.
FFN! That stands for Family Fun Night, something SHAC committee has started here at the Elementary. One night a month, we open the elementary school and play! That's right play, play games, obstacle course in the gym, Wii Dance, DDR Pads, Scoooter Basketball in the hallways. its so much fun. each month we tried to do something different. It is so great to see families come up and play with their kids. The reason for it is to get families to spend time together. With jobs, practices of every sport its hard to find time to just spend time together and play. plus its FREE! Plus parents only come to school to see their kids teacher, might be positive but then again might not be. In this setting they get to let loose and relax. I am so happy to be a part of this, I know my kids & I look forward to it!
Until next time...Mamabotos

Running :/
Ok, I THINK I am gonna try this running thing AGAIN! lol See I did it 3 yrs ago and I weighed more than I do now. My sister & I would get up every morning for 4 months at 5:30 and go work out. Well, not much a change was happening, not in my eyes they weren't. I participated in the Full of Bull run & the Valentine's Sweetheart run (which was very very cold!) In mind set I thought being a former basketball player it wouldn't be that bad...WRONG! you actually need to train a few months for it. So that is my goal. It seems like when you set a goal you tend to be more motivated to work out and eat healthy. So, what race shall I compete in? hmmmmmm, good question. But I do know as of today, April 4, 2011 I will start my running.
I have downloaded the couch potatoe to 5K workout as well as another one, after having two kids & no more gym membership (due to saving money & getting really sick) I have decided its TIME. To you, you might be thinking, "aw, your look fine, your skinny." Well, there is a fat skinny, ya know what I mean! lol I would like to get toned up! This flab around my mid section has got to go!!!! and yes my booty I would like to get toned up, its seems to sag a little more & more! lol Oh lord, can't believe I am blogging about my butt! lol
So my goal has been set, I shall meet my goal! Between this workout & the ab circle
I hope to look like this is 90 days!
Until next time....Mamabotos!

Sunday, Hot & Windy = Lazy
Wow what a weekend! Spend the day yesterday on the road. First Amarillo to watch the Bobcat Baseball team whoop up on the River road Wildcats 18-8, now they are standing 2-0 in District!!! yes baby!
After the game I hit up Taco Bell! Kids are tired of me going there every time we go out of town but once they get those Cinnamon twists, they suddenly remembered they like Taco Bell! See Mom does know best! lol
Also we stopped at Wal-mart to fill up the car w/gas. That is one of our Dave RAmsey things: we put so much money on a gift card from Wal-Mart and then we use it for gas only. once it starts going low then we know it means no more going going going.
I also got air in my tires!!! Okay may not be a big deal for you but me YES! Plus w/Nissan you have "special" air and regular will not work... Idk... but I was able to get that orange triangle w/the exclamation point off my dash!!! that thing was annoying after 6 months....
Now the kids & I were heading to Tulia, Texas! Yes, my big brother Josh finally got to move into his new house!!! I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard through school, working Pharmacy hours, getting married, having 2 beautiful wonderful boys! they have taken their time in building this house. They know exactly what they wanted & how. Its such a wesome house for a wonderful family. I was to go and help them move in BUT i liked my job even better and that was to watch and play with the kids. yes it was hot & windy, the kids did a very good job of staying out and playing majority of the time. All I know after a long day of moving it makes every one tired and cranky. So that is when we decided to head on out. After the seeing the progress of this house and now its finally done... its a beautiful home where his family will make wonderful memories!
Makes me think back to the house I grew up in. Which my parents still live in to this day. WOW... great times. Even the one in Estelline when we lived there, out in the country... sand blowing, buried cars in the cotton field, being drug on the hood of a car when it snowed, frog races on top of the cellar, playing hide-n-go seek! List could go on forever!
Today was a lazy day, did wash my sheets on my bed...the only thing on my to do list. Kids played out in the springler out back, wearing their swimsuits and roller blading all over the neighborhood. Did manage to watch the movie "Eat,Pray & love" awesome movie... so now I am trying to save up money to go to Bali!!! lol i will be saving for a very long time!
Hope you all had a blessed day!
Until next time...Mamabotos!

They know exactly what they wanted & how. Its such a wesome house for a wonderful family. I was to go and help them move in BUT i liked my job even better and that was to watch and play with the kids. yes it was hot & windy, the kids did a very good job of staying out and playing majority of the time. All I know after a long day of moving it makes every one tired and cranky. So that is when we decided to head on out. After the seeing the progress of this house and now its finally done... its a beautiful home where his family will make wonderful memories!
Makes me think back to the house I grew up in. Which my parents still live in to this day. WOW... great times. Even the one in Estelline when we lived there, out in the country... sand blowing, buried cars in the cotton field, being drug on the hood of a car when it snowed, frog races on top of the cellar, playing hide-n-go seek! List could go on forever!
Today was a lazy day, did wash my sheets on my bed...the only thing on my to do list. Kids played out in the springler out back, wearing their swimsuits and roller blading all over the neighborhood. Did manage to watch the movie "Eat,Pray & love" awesome movie... so now I am trying to save up money to go to Bali!!! lol i will be saving for a very long time!
Hope you all had a blessed day!
Until next time...Mamabotos!
