Update!
WOW does time fly by!
So since the last blog the Castillo family celebrated Jimmy's 23 birthday. Yes that's right 23! Can you believe it? If he were my parents he would be married and getting ready for child number 2! As much as I want nephews and nieces in the future I am so glad I don't right now. He is about 7 months away from graduating so mark your calenders and get ready to PARTY!! The parentials are busy as ever. As they say..."A track parent never stops running." Dad is finally healing from his back injury and of course is out there with the kids everyday running! Got some sad news from the doc... He cant run marathons anymore :( only 10ks. Momma is being momma. Stressing everyday because the house isn't clean, of course we learn how to just stay quiet! She also has started running! I am proud of her, she almost ran a full two miles with me one day at Rebecca's practice, although I got a lot of excuses during it about how she should stop. Zac is doing amazing! I am so proud of him. He is keeping up with the varsity boys and has continued to improve his time every week. He is already talking about taking summer school to get ahead in some math classes but I don't think that is a surprise to anyone. Rebecca is her happy go lucky self. Starting to get that giddy teenage girl thing going on and every once in a while a little attitude is coming out. Don't worry though... No one can be as bad as I was. As for me, oh busy and exhausted as always. Always running around from school to work to school to work. It is finally starting to hit me that I will have my associates degree in two months! Pretty excited about that and I just finished up my application to Anderson Business School. Pray everything goes well it. As for Petey.. He is getting pretty serious about the whole coast guard thing. He meets with his recruiter almost once a week and has already started the practice ASVAB. If all goes as planned he will be off to boot camp by January :( I am actually very excited for him. Hope all is well out there in Good Ol Texas!
Love ya all!

UNM Invite
Zac had his very first high school cross country meet today. As you probably could guess he did absolutely amazing. He had to run JV for his first meet per his coach and really showed his talent. He ran the 5k (3.1 miles) in 17:53. He was about 2 minutes behind the top varsity runner in the country. He came in 9th place. WAY TO GO ZAC!! I think we have a future Olympic athlete on our hands (Yay! Free tickets).

I'm sure you have heard by now about how amazing the kids did at regionals considering it has been almost over two weeks since they have been back. But for those of you who are on turtle time like me here is the update. Zac ran an incredible 4:38 1500m and ran the 800 in 2:17. SMOKIN!! Rebecca ran a amazing 5:54 1500m and threw the javelin 13.05m. Look out New Mexico looks like we have the future state champions for track coming your way!!

New Kids on The Block
YAY!!! We made it!! We are finally here!! Hopefully we can all keep in better touch! Hopefully The Rowdy Rios's will get on soon!! We are all very busy! Ted is hustlin at selling windows and doors and also keeping up with staying in shape to help out with track and cross country! Jan works EVERYDAY, she is always on the computer or on the phone with her SISTERS!!! She also is the most wonderful daughter-in-law anyone can have. She goes and visits Grandma Kay everyday sometimes even three or four times. Jimmy (who is that?) Oh yeah our long lost family member is out in the middle of no where still being a ballar and getting his education. I suggest you don't talk to him about what he is learning it might go over your head!! He is taking 18 credit hours, is head person of the Newman Center, plays on a basketball team, and still manages to find time to still be a typical college student. Cassondra is still Perfect as always! She is still working in the accounting department at the Apartments and bookkeeping at Red Robin while taking 15 credit hours. Not to mention her and Ted wake up everyday at 5:10 a.m to workout! Trying to loose the last 10-15 pounds is NOT easy. Zac is growing like a WEED! Holy Cow you should see him he is just about as tall as Jimmy. We all know he is going to do amazing in track! Go get them Zac! Rebecca is our little bumble bee! She is always smiling and giggling! She is also going to be a great track star this season! We will keep you all updated on their track meets. It will be a lot easier now. Ok whew that was a lot! Hope you all are doing great! Until next time..... See Ya!!! :)
