Fun March Week
Well I just thought I'd share my fun filled week with all of you. It started off with a great trip to the Fire Station. Every time we drive by, I point out the fire trucks to Mommy, and if they're not there, I am very troubled. Well on Monday, not only did we get to stop at the fire station, I got to meet the firemen personally and get IN the fire trucks! The firefighters were so nice to us. We climbed all over the trucks, and they told us all about what they do. We got to see where they sleep, eat and watch TV--can you believe each fireman has his own leather recliner in front of the big screen TV? So that's why Mom and Dad say our taxes are so high! All joking aside, these guys do a great job and keep us safe. Did I mention that they even let us put on their "costumes" as we called them. They told us we could come back any time just to say hi or take a picture. The fun continued yesterday when we took a trip to Hearthstone Assisted Living Center. I love visiting there. All the residents really seem to like my dance/gymnastics moves I perform for them down their hallways and living area. Yesterday, Mom and her friends brought a bunch of Easter eggs and hid them in the courtyard. All the seniors walked, rolled, and scooted outside to watch my friends and me hunt the eggs. Some of them even gave me a few hints! I think Hearthstone is pretty cool--they even have their own pet bunny that they let me pet. I'll look forward to visiting there again soon. Here are some photos.

SNOW!!!
Yes, we do actually get some white stuff every now and then down here in the Big D. Tues night we got a little preview, but nothing like we saw today. The yard and park were covered in beautiful white powder--the perfect consistency for building a snowman! Grandmother and Grand Dandan are here for their Willie Nelson concert and helped in our snowman creation. I have been sooooo excited with this curious weather change, and I keep asking Mom and Dad if Santa's coming? They said I'd have to settle on the Easter Bunny! My neighborhood friends and I had snowball fights and made snow angels--all firsts for me. Here are some pictures to capture the moment, as it will probably be gone tomorrow.

A Man and his Grill
We helped Dad pick out his new grill today, and man is it a beauty. He's wanted a Weber grill for a very long time, and after his very productive and successful year at work, he finally decided to splurge. We've put the old grill out by the trash and are waiting to see how long it takes for someone to pick it up. I hope they realize that only one small section of the thing even lights anymore! Here are some pictures of Dad with the big, black, grilling machine. He's getting it ready to cook dinner tonight--yummy!

Flay Flare!
Mom and Dad hosted the first Dinner Club meeting last night with the theme of "Show your Flare with Flay!" Dad made Bobby Flay's ancho chile rub filets, and Mom created a mushroom chile sauce to drizzle on top. Everyone else brought delicious additions to the beef and had a great time eating, drinking, and being merry. I had my own merriment next door with Jessica eating pizza and dancing to the wiggles!

Jan/Feb 08
Just wanted to get you all up to date on my most recent frolicking. Mom and I have been trying to keep up with my always busy social calendar. We just celebrated one of our favorite holidays--the day of LUUUUV. Mom and I threw a Valentine's party and dance for all our friends. It was quite a crowd pleaser. We played games, sang karaoke, and buried each other in balloons--the living room was covered in red and white balloons thanks to Mom, Dad, and the bicycle pump who worked hard in providing these wonderful decorations the night before. Unfortunately, we got some bummer news toward the end of the party that Poppoo was down to his last few days. Mom and I packed up our stuff and headed to Austin in order to help Aunt Laura through the situation since Grandmother and Grandandan were on trip. When we got to the hospital I showed Poppoo my newest cars, told him dinosaur stories, and Mom and I read him my favorite books. Poppoo joined Nana on Saturday. Although we were sad, we knew it was what he wanted. As I told Daddy later on--"Poppoo's not sick anymore." We had a very nice service for him on Tuesday and got to reunite with family we hadn't seen in a while. I've included some pictures from the Valentine's celebration, as well as a trip to the Dallas Aquarium (it's really more like a rain forest--nothing like the GA Aquarium, although still very impressive). I also included some photos of Super Bowl Sunday when Dad and I really junked it up with nachos, pizza, wings--you name it, we ate it!
