RIP Cleo

Gumtree Art Exhibit 2009

Today was the gallery opening of the 2009 "Shared Treasures" art exhibit at the Gumtree Art Museum of Art. This was my second year to have a piece in the exhibit. This year's piece is called "Big Fish" and can be seen in the following slide show.

Getting some QT with Dad

COME ON SPRING!!!

What a GREAT weekend! Can't wait until Spring Break! (I bet it snows) This weekend was beautiful. We went to the park Saturday and then went over to see Will and the rest of the Tutors. Sunday we went to Ripley to see Grandmaw and Grandaddy. Dad made this picture of me and sis. She's going to be 9 months old Thursday.

Check out the other pics dad made of sis over on her blog.

Busy busy busy

Dad has been to Jackson so many times lately I've lost count. But, today he got to go meet with Governor Barbour (Wasn't just him and the Gov. - there were like 30 other people in the room) The Governor was signing the bill to fund the Cooper Tire expansion/retention for here in Tupelo. The bill is part of the package put together by the State/City/County and several other governmental agencies to help keep 1,200 full-time and 600 contract-worker jobs in Tupelo.

Here is a cool pic that dad snapped in the Capital.

This is made from the 3rd floor just outside the Governor's office.

Reading Fair - District Day

Today was the District Round for the reading fair. The first place winners from each of the schools in the District were judged again. I got an honorable mention ribbon. Guess the world just wasn't ready for my Skippyjon Jones story board. Dad once did a science fair project on Nuclear Winter and even had a copy of a paper by Carl Sagan - didn't win State Science Fair because the judges didn't understand the project....


Here is my friend Garrett - he got Third Place in Second Grade. Congrats!

Reading Fair time again!

This year I read Skippyjon Jones. It is a story about a Siamese cat that thinks he's a chihuahua. Very funny. I got a Siamese cat for Christmas and I use it as a prop for the story board. I dressed like Mama Junebug Jones. I won first place in First Grade and go on to District next week. My friends Anna Caryl and Carol Trent also won second and third place. Here are some pictures mom took.
