Grandma's birthday

This weekend was my Grandma's birthday! I'm pretty sure she turned 34. Uncle Jeff, Aunt Lisa, and most importantly, Cousin Taylor came down from Washington for the occasion.

Uncle Jeff shares my love of photos so was only too happy to take some pictures with me. We're pretty cute, aren't we?!

I heard somebody mention birthday cake, so I sat at that table faster than I ever have. Bring it on!

We all gathered around to help Grandma blow out the candles. When you turn 34, you start needing help with those kind of things.

FINALLY my patience paid off. I love birthday cake. It's the best kind. Happy Birthday Grandma!

Take me out to the ballgame!

I took Mom and Dad to a Padre game this week! We had a blast. It was kind of a far walk from the car so I hitched a ride. That Dad can make himself useful sometimes.

It was a fan appreciation day for kids, so I got this awesome backpack. I loved it so much and wanted to wear for approximately 3.5 seconds before it officially became Mom's bag to carry. I just wanted to share the fun.

They even have a "Park at the Park" because they have obviously heard about my affinity for all things park related. It's so nice when people know in advance of my needs. It makes it much easier for everyone.

So you know how at baseball games they have those giant screens and how they will sometimes show the fans from around the stadium? I really wanted them to show me so I waved my hands all crazy, and they totally showed me! But did Mom get a picture of that? Of course not. Dad was a little miffed because he said he has been going to games for years but they've never showed him, and on my very first game they show me. Does anyone know a way to gently break it to him that it's because I'm way cuter than he is?

Apparently there was some kind of baseball game going on while I was having all this fun. But I don't really know much about that part!
