super reader

mackenzie was one of 2 % of her school who were nominated by their teachers for the ann brannon award. she received the award for reading. i know she does not get this special skill from me. she read the 860 page harry potter book in 4 days and it took me 5 weeks!

spring mud run

just about perfect weather for a run in the mud! it was a challenging 10K with obstacles designed to wear you out. after the run, they hosed us off with a fire hose. we decided it was better to be dirty than cold. thanks jenny and laura for a super fun run!

here are some close-ups.

at least the mud did not get in our teeth!

no autographs please

my two favorite artists had work displayed in the downtown fortworth library. here are the creators and their creations.

by the way, buster caught two more little fellas from the previous post (for a grand total of 4 babies) before animal control came to our house.

backyard friends

buster cornered these two fellas at different times yesterday morning. i'm hoping their momma doesn't come back to find them!

if you are wondering...that is a miniature playground ball.
