Horse!

I am officially tall enough to mount Buttercup all on my own!

Daddy, I think this is when you buy me another pony. One of these, please.

Bicycle safety is very important!

Always wear your helmet! Even indoors!

Nature Center

Mom and I went to the Chico Nature Center!

That's John, showing us a toad!

Um, what's that...?

A snake! It's loose! Let's get outta here!

We went outside and had a nice snack at the picnic tables.

Mom took some photos of us!


And I did some posing...


Bye-bye!

Party at Ella's!

Ella threw a great party the other day! There were lots of kids and dog-dogs and food.

Mmmmm! Food! I can't get enough of this stuff!

Uhhhhhhhh....... I think I ate too much....

Nope! Recovered and hungry for more!

Dad, wanna share this with me?

Good job, Dad!

Then Ella and I played with the other kids. We just played and played and played!

I just plumb wore Ella out! She started to fall asleep right there in the yard!

Not me, though! We went inside, and I was just a whirlwind of energy, running this way and that!

I'm a blur! Too fast to be caught on film!

Whoa. Ok, consider me 100% done in. Mom, Dad? Time to go home.

Thanks for the great party!

We went to the park and took a family portrait.

Here's me in the middle.

Hey, Mom & Dad, look at the camera for the photo!

Morning Bagel

On Saturday mornings, after a trip to the Farmer's Market (*notice our Chico Bags in the background!*), we often walk downtown.

Sometimes I stop off at the coffee shop, and maybe munch on something I picked up at the Market!

We often run into Ella and her folks there.

Ok, Dad. Enough with the photos. We're trying to have a conversation, here.

One Mile Fun 2

After our swim, we hung our for a while.

Ella and I shared some snacks.

Fiona entertained us with a guitar solo!

Then Brian, who does cool tricks, set up a tightrope for us! He's the one in the middle, and that's Ella's dad, Tom, on the left.

Here are us three gals and our dads!

Holy smokes, look at Fiona up there, posing and balancing and everything, and not holding anyone's hand at all!*

Wow! Look at that, Dad!

These guys are awesome! They should come home with us to entertain me there, too. Yes, jugglers at my home. At my court. My palace. With jugglers. And jesters. And acrobats. What would that be like...

Ah! Maybe something like this! Yeah! That Jean, Duc du Berry, knew how to live! Little Dog-Dogs right on the table!

Yes, indeed! I think I shall make it so.

One Mile Fun 1

We went down to One Mile for a fun afternoon in the sun with some friends!


Here's me and my good pal Ella slipping into the water.


Fiona and her mom joined Ella, Dad and me for the swim.


Ella's a regular fish! I think she'll be able to beat Phelps in a year or two.


Me, I just like to clown around. Who would have guessed?


Waaaah! That's cold on the bum!

Just having a nice spin in the swimming hole!

No, I will not come out of the water. No, I am not at all cold. My teeth are clenched and chattering just for the fun of it.

Ari and Cindy's Wedding 5: Meeting Demand

Due to popular demand, I've decided to post just a few more photos of Aunts Ari and Cindy's wedding. Gotta keep my fans happy.

Here I am getting ready with the gals. That's Arwen, Emily and Anne-Marie, who took the wedding photos.

This is me explaining to them where I keep my Dad.

And, well, just me...

Ari and Cindy's Wedding 4: Driving Home

On the way back, we stopped off at Salinas River State Beach.

It was a stunning day!

Mom and I went for a lovely stroll on the sand.


Wow, it's windy out here!

Mmmmmmm! Just soaking up those rays!

While Dad was taking this cool picture...
...I was leaning over and eating some sand. Not a good plan, as it turns out...

Some lucky folks were riding horses on the beach!

Now, where can I get me one of those horses for next time...? Daddy...?
