Tabor's Birthday Pictures

Tabor's birthday was last week and we all went to Dave & Buster's to celebrate! Happy Birthday, Tabor!


I love Caden's face! Cracks me up!

My Job

So when I'm not reading or putting books back on a shelf, I'm working with different groups of kiddos on fun projects. This is probably one of my favorite parts of my job. My other favorite part of my job is when cute little first graders come into my office to impersonate characters from their mom's favorite Mexican soap opera. If I could video tape him acting the scene out in Spanish, he could win some awards. Adorable.

But here are some of the latest projects we've done in the good ol' library.
The first is a kindergarten project. They researched a different city in Texas and then illustrated what they thought were the important parts of the place.

The bluebonnets are their fingerprints. So cute.

They are so proud of their work.

And then the fourth graders researched a famous African American for February. Then they made a "life size" outline of the person and presented a "museum" for the first graders. We even turned out the lights and put spotlights on the people to give it a museum feel. They did a great job and the little ones loved being with the 4th graders.

Jesse Owens....

See...libraries aren't always quiet and boring....

Snow Day!

Well, a day with snow in it. Today in Austin, TX it SNOWED!!!! Too bad we couldn't at least get a half day. But is was BEAUTIFUL! I love the snow.

Smith Playground

The kids were so cute and so excited. For most of them, it was their first time to see snow.

A little snow visitor greeted me at home.

Seriously, I love the snow.

Get ready, Get set, Go!

Burke ran his first marathon this weekend in Austin! I am so proud of him!
The pre-race picture....

My walking buddies...Alexis and Ann! We just walked and gossiped about school. That's what 5ks are about right???

26.2 miles! The first thing he wanted to do after running 26.2 miles was have his picture taken. He loves me.

I am so proud of him!

Caden and Gary from the cheer section.

Betsy and Brig ran the half marathon. I love that they take me seriously and will smile for a picture. (Thank you, Betsy.)

The marathon runners!

Celebration Lunch!

And non-marathon related...Burke made me lunch last weekend. I think he looks pretty good in the kitchen. And it was delicious!

My First Grade Valentine

Isn't he adorable?



I love working with these cute kids.
