My favorite thing happened today we went out to lunch!  I LOVE restaurants!!  This was one with Mexican food YUM! We had lunch with mom’s friend Tracy who is super nice and super gorgeous.

Tracy brought me a PRESENT!!!!!! It was in a special gift bag and everything!!! OMG!!!!

Look look look what I got!   It is a pair of drinking glasses with TIGER on them!!! Oh Tracy you are my bestest friend!  Oh wait Dixie is my best friend but Tracy you are my second best friend!

Then after work on the way home we got stopped by TWO trains it was super fantastic!

When we got home I asked mom to take another picture of me with my new special TIGER drinking glasses!  What a super duper day I had!

Mom has been spending a lot of time studying. That means looking at books. Here is one of the books it is about a Giant Hairball (I can relate) and has lots of pictures in it.

At work it was Tracey’s birthday!!  I got blue frosting on my whiskers HA HA HA!

This weekend we had to go to work and stay there all night!!!!  We went in at about 1 pm and did not leave until after 6 am the next morning!!!  It was a big important software upgrade blah blah blah Mom said she was tired but I thought it was great!!  Here I am hard at work.

The best part was afterwards when we all went out to breakfast I LOVE restaurants!

It has been a very busy week but we did get to go for a walk on a super sunny day. Mom is wearing a blue leopard shirt!  And I am wearing my Crystal Mountain bandana with my Whistler pin and my Boeing 737 pin.

Oh boy we have been having such a great time this week! We have been at a Kaizen event and in case you do not know what that is Kaizen is a Japanese word: Kai = change    Zen = ideal state

There was a big team at work that went through some special training and then we got to make equipment out of cardboard boxes and pretend to make airplane parts it was hilarious and super fun! Mom got very tired though. Here we are calculating numbers and deciding which cardboard to use next.

Also we had the BEST day EVER! We went to the Boeing factory to see them making airplanes!!!  For REAL not cardboard!!!!  It was FANTASTIC!!!  It was a huge building and we got to see a whole bunch of planes being built but we could not take pictures that was not allowed.  But mom got me a pin for my bandana in the gift shop!  It is a 737 pin that is the kind of plane we saw them making!!

We were in Portland for work we stayed at a fancy hotel!

This is me with Fayte who works at the hotel front desk she is so beauuutiful and was really nice too.

And this is my friend Loran who drives off in the cars that belong to hotel guests. I would like that job I would like to learn how to drive. He is really handsome and  helpful but not quite as handsome as me.

We were in Portland for work mom had to go to a forum every day but here we are at a bar afterwards that was much more fun!

Also breakfast was very important.

During the day at the forum I mostly stayed in the satchel and napped while the people yakked. This time we sat next to Mike who is super handsome and really nice.

OMG we just got back from a road trip to Portland Oregon!!  that is another state !  They let me across the state line no questions asked tigers RULE!

We had a super time sight-seeing. Here is famous Powell’s Bookstore. I think we should come back for the Sat 11 am STORYTIME.

Here I am inside Powell’s it is amazing!

I made friends with Michael and Heidi while we were out walking around they were really nice and handsome and beautiful.

Here I am at VooDoo donuts!

Oh gosh they all look so yummy!  I wanted to try them all but mom said No.

First of all I want to say Happy Birthday to Mom’s friend George at work. Yesterday he brought us some awesomely delicious cake to help celebrate!  Mom said the cake was too pretty to eat but as soon as George left we scarfed it up.

Today we went on a hike at TIGER Mountain!  Tigers RULE!  This is Neil who was getting ready to go for a bike ride and is very handsome. Mom is always chatting up the single men in the parking lot.

There were a lot of bikers on the trail! It was wet and they were all very muddy haha!

Mom let me use the camera again!!!!!  Here is a picture of a flower that I took.

Here is my best photo isn’t it super?? Ok so mom helped a little with it.

When we got back to the car it started snowing!!!!

Look you can see the snow on the car it was so exciting!!  But it stopped after about a minute and melted I did not even have enough time to make a snowball. darn.

Today there was something wrong with the car. We had to go to the place where they do car repairs. It was GREAT!  They had a super fantastic snack machine there!  Look there are ANIMAL CRACKERS!!!!!

Also they park the cars inside the building. We should do that at home!  It would be fun to have the car in the living room.

This is Michael he helped get the car fixed. He was so  handsome and did not even charge mom any money for fixing the car.  They must make all their money selling animal crackers.

And this is Shinichi who was also very handsome but not as handsome as me and also did not charge us any money.  What a great place!  Mom we should go there every day!

Oh Boy oh boy oh boy I can hardly believe it Mom said I could use the camera and take my own pictures it is going to be great!!!  This is my very first photo ever!  The buttons on the camera are so fiddly they are not the right size for a tiger.

Here is a picture of Tabitha that I took!!!

Haha ha this is so fun!!! Here is my best friend Dixie!

Here is me and Dixie playing with my favorite red ball in the yard. It is tricky getting the shot at just the right time.

Here we are playing with Dino. I had to take a lot of pictures to get myself looking so good in the picture while taking it. Mom said we should only post the best ones.

Oh boy we had a super fun hike this weekend at TIGER mountain tigers rule! It was a beautiful sunny day!  In this photo I turned out a little blurry but you can see what a pretty day it is.

Lunch time!  Mom better share that trail mix I have claws and teeth you know.

On our way back down the mountain we were on a logging trail and a bunch of search & rescue vehicles passed us! Mom was not quick enough with the camera as usual. I think I should be in charge of the camera. Here is a picture of me with some trees. Since mom cannot get the camera out quick enough for a really exciting photo.

We have been going to so many meetings all week I am having a hard time keeping track. Luckily there has been food which helps me to remember.

First there was the pizza meeting.

Then there was the taco bar potluck meeting.

Then there was the meeting with burritos! There was just an empty box of burritos by the time mom remembered the camera so instead we have a picture of the meeting.

Then one day Brandi brought super duper brownies with peanuts and rice krispies in them OMG to die for!

Brandi you are my favorite here I am giving her a kiss!
