Duck Pool

I have been saying DUCK! a lot. mom and dad figure it's because i have been around the lake often lately and had some close encounters with the geese and ducks - all very exciting. but now they know i was really just telling the future. i was explaining to them that they would awake early this morning to the sounds of something crashing in the backyard and look out to see a half a dozen mallards in the pool. really. they seemed to be enjoying the water of our swimming pool. several flew off and a few minutes later several more arrived. a pair stayed through the photo session and didn't get scared off until dad realized they were leaving a mess of poops behind on his newly cleaned pool area. has anyone ever seen this before???

it was a beautiful day in bakersfield for cousin Karen's wedding.

Ruby and i had fun under the reception table:)
sisters, Kyla and Ruby

Rocking the Wedding

Had lots of fun dancing with my cousins, at my cousin's wedding.

then it was time for a break, or is it break-dance? not sure, either.

The Hunt is On!

This hunting for easter eggs thing was a piece of cake.




pick it up, put it in the basket...













and break for a piece of chocolate! (dad taught me this one:)
i love the easter bunny. i followed him and tried to give him a hug and share my eggs with him. (never mind that my parents thought he was a weird looking bunny - he was super tall and skinny with skater shoes.)

For some reason I've been having a hard time uploading pictures, so we are just writing today. (even though we have some great pictures of me playing bocce ball last night) anywho, mom says The Shirt will be out of the dryer by the time i wake up from my nap, which will be just in time to get it warmed up for tonight's game. we're so excited for Scotty, and the whole team of course, for getting to the final game of the madness! i bet scotty is out of his head that they may be winning the championships tonight!! woohoo!!!

The shirt is clean and ready to go...

well, it should be fairly clean after a morning at the farmer's market and a little mall strolling. but it is definitely ready to cheer the BRUINS to victory tonight. if ya ask me what my shirt says, i will wave my arms and say UCLA, ucla, ucla. grandma and me:)
