Slides! And birthdays!

Hello fans!

I really enjoyed myself today. First I went to the park with Grandma and Grandpa, and then I took them out to dinner for a belated birthday celebration.

I could have done this all day!

I showed them how it's done. They took video, presumably to help them practice their technique when I'm not around to demonstrate.

They were clearly impressed. I really hope they walked away from this lesson with at least a fraction of what I was trying to teach them.

Seriously, I am a total pro. (Is that a profession? Slide-rider? Can someone look into that? Because I think it's my calling.)

Please call my handlers if you want to set up an appointment. I can do nights (before sundown) and weekends, but I prefer an early morning session.

Mmm, guacamole - I earned these calories!

I Got You!

I hung out with Granny C this weekend, and we played a favorite game of mine . . .

I got you!

See, I run around like a crazybuns, and everyone tries to grab me.

But I am fast, y'all. Cameras couldn't capture me, due to my blinding speed.

When someone touches me, they say, "I got you!" I had so much fun being gotten, that I even started saying it!

Then I jumped on Granny's piano and banged out a little tune.

It was pretty avant garde, experimental jazz. I'm not sure everyone "gets" it.

Go Bruins!

My dad and I headed over to UCLA today for the women's basketball game against Stanford at Pauley Pavilion. It was a special Dads and Daughters promotion.

I don't know what "the Sixties" are, but I'm told this photo of me may evoke certain stereotypes about them.

The game was a squeaker during the first half, which ended with the teams tied. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

But, in the second half, Stanford (ranked third in the nation) pulled away from UCLA (ranked ninth), and I kind of lost focus. I couldn't even pay attention to the cheerleaders, who kept trying to get me to do an eight-clap.

After the game, I checked out Bruin Walk. I like bears. Go Bruins!

California Girl

Last weekend, the weather was amazing here in SoCal, so I headed to the beach with my good pal Zoe and our entourage to catch some rays and maybe some waves.

Here I'm testing out my balance on Lisa's surfboard. I think I'm goofy foot.

When No One Was Looking ...

I came across a bowl of chips and guacamole next to my Winnie-the-Pooh puzzle.

I figured the chips were there to dip, and so I dipped. Yum!

Happy Valentine's Day

I just want to give a little shout out to all of my valentines. I love you!

This is me in my new coat from Aunt Lisa. Thanks, Lisa. I love it.

I also love balloons!

Anyway, I had a fantastic day. I got a bunch of valentines from my pals at school. And a balloon. And a cupcake! I hope you got some valentines, too.

Did I mention that I love balloons?

I Can't Get Enough of the Park

I had a visit from my out-of-town pals, Abby and Cole, so we headed over to the park for some recreation. Here I am on a seahorse bouncy thing.

But my new favorite is the conveyor slide. It's bumpy and slow, and I can slide down all by myself.

I prefer to go down backwards, if I'm going solo.

But here, with Abby, I went down facing forward, which takes a little more skill and makes me a bit nervous. Still fun, though.
