She's Famous

 Look who ended up starring in her groomer's Instagram! 

And here's how she celebrated her big debut.

Pig Plaques

 The buyer pig plaques for the auction came in and here we are.

Yes, we got to be in Kyle's again since we're friends.

And here's the pig we bought. 

Notice how it's behaving and not having to eat to have its picture made.

Newsworthy

 So Reed has been in the news and writing the news this last week.

His BPA group showed up in our local neighborhood magazine.

He had the cover story for his school newspaper (that's really a magazine). 

To nobody's surprise he wrote about eating healthy.

And he won 1st place in news writing at district last weekend. 

Event #2

 We had a school district event to go to last week.  The theme was "yellow rose ball", so I did my best to look like a yellow rose without actually wearing any yellow roses. 

I hate these rotating video things, I never know where to look. 

And here I am with my friend, Kristi, who invited us to the event. 

Eclipsed

 So we had the eclipse yesterday.  Thank goodness we weren't in the path of totality, so we didn't have to deal with all the traffic and tourists the hill country had.

I really didn't give the eclipse much thought, and I just so happened to be checking our mail at the time it happened.  My across the street neighbor waved me over, so I ran to his driveway. He pointed it out between the clouds, and I saw it.  I just looked up at it, and thankfully I'm not blind, but if I start having eye problems I guess we can come back to this blog. 

Reed was able to get a picture.

And here's what the rest of the family thought about an event that won't happen again for 20+ years. 

Event #1

 For some reason April has become the new May.  It seems like we always had lots of things to do in May, but this year everything seems to be in April.  Jason and I had a charity event to go to last week, which was outside, so they requested "no high heels".  I barely even own flats, so I would up wearing tennis shoes. 

Here's what we looked like. 

And since Chloe's bows matched my dress, she wanted a picture too.

Summer Cut

 Chloe got her summer cut this week and she is really feeling herself.

Here she is before

And here is her after

And apparently she got lots of compliments on her morning neighborhood walk.
