Dog Show

The 5th grade students put together a dog show to help benefit the Humane Society. Students could enter their pup in the contest in several different categories: best wag, cutest, friendliest, best dressed, best trick, most macho, and best bark. The whole school got to enjoy watching these adorable pups walk the runway. There were only a few tiffs between dogs, but the highlight was when the school's regular stray dog appeared and wanted to be apart of the action. It was hilarious watching the 5th graders try to get a hold of the dog :-) Here are a few pics...there are more on the Arkansas Democrat website.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day mommy! I have a wonderful mom who has been there for me through so many ups and downs in my life. My mom has not only made an impact on me, but so many others through her job at the high school. I don't know how many people have told me how much they move my mom because of how much she has helped them. Hearing those comments always helps me realize how special it is that I can call her "Mom". Thank you mom for being you! I know I can always count on your for advice or just for a partner to shop with :-) I love the picture of mom holding me in the hospital after I was born!

I love this pic of mom helping get into my Hound Dog costume for a dance recital. This was a huge part of my life, and she was always there to support and encourage me...with video camera in hand :-)
