Birch Sized!

Finally, Finally, Finally... Someone thought of ol' Birchy and found him a Skate board his size!

Serious folks, do you know how hard it is to find things to fit me? Would explain why I'm still in my birthday suit.

Anyways. Today I'm off to surf the urban jungle. Not much going on around here, but I'm sure I'll have something up my sleeve for tomorrow.

Keep Rockin

Yard Sale Time

Hello All!
Birch Cedarton in a craft box at a yard sale
We're well into the prime season of yard sales in the Galveston County Area. It's not to hot yet and the rain is tapering off from the spring. Everyone is purging their old junk to make room for new junk.

I've been to quite a few yard sales in my time and the fight was surly on. Many people traveled from house to house trying to find new treasures. This day was no different. It's a finder's keepers game and feelings got hurt! I'm glad I got to this house when I did because I would have missed out on getting this awesome Chicago CD for 25¢

I also looked at this file system. I've been getting so much fan mail lately that I'm now in need of organization.

I crawled inside to check out the structural integrity, but it wasn't as sound as I had hoped.

I think the big find of the day was a pair of broken in jeans for a dollar! There's nothing like a good pair of jeans... except maybe a pair my size. Any seamstresses out there?

I had a great time looking for forgotten treasures. Now it's your turn. Till next time...

Keep Rockin!

Birch Cedarton... Under arrest?

As promised... Here is the story of me getting arrested.

After the pancake breakfast I was approached by a police officer that stated that "I was under arrest."

What the heck? What did I do?

He went on telling me my charges, public intoxication, loitering, and not having proper identification.

Identification? I'm a ARTIST FIGURE! I have no pockets!

Here's where it gets bad. I should have kept my mouth shut. I yelled at the officer, but guess what I said...

"Don't YOU know who I am? I'm Birch Cedarton... I'm famous around here. "

Oh boy did that make him mad! That's when he put me against the car and told me to spread them. I was sweating syrup by that point.

Then out of the blue everyone started laughing. The joke was on me. The police officer was actually a friend of Carina's who wanted to help her prank me. Geezzzee!

Here I am posing with the Officer. Check out the look on my face. I was still delirious as to what had happened.

They then took me for a ride to make it up to me for making me peeing my pants! Woo Hoo!

Now, the next day I can laugh at the situation. BUT GUYS... That was SO NOT COOL!

I hope you got as big of a laugh as everyone who was there. But until next time...

Happy Memorial Day!

What a great day. I've been gearing up for Memorial Day all week! You can say, I'm a bit of a patriotic guy.
Birch Cedarton wishes you a Happy Memorial Day! 2
Today was a blast because I tagged along with Carina and her family to a pancake breakfast that is held by the church every year. The day was filled with activities galore, but tradition has it that it's strated with FOOD!

Here I am showing off my favorite part of the meal. HAM. Mmmmm... It was good!

There was tones of fresh fruit and I must admit that I was stuffed when I finally cleaned my plate!

One of the many activities was jump roping. The kids had a good time but I think the parents were the real surprise. This is a shot I took of Carina jumping rope. I know, I'm no photographer but I plan to use this as black male!

I think that we forget what these holidays are really for. Many of us look at it as a day off from work and a celebration of summer. Today I want us to think about those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. We should show our service men and women that we are grateful to them and show pride in the RED WHITE AND BLUE!

There was too much today to write about in one post. So I'll have to tell you all about how I got arrested later... Don't ask.
Keep on Rockin,
Birch

Tutu much fun!

Today Carina was making a tutu as a gift for one of Alana's friends. Since she was in the creative spirit, and had a bit of extra tulle, Carina made me my very first piece of clothing... a Tutu!

Alana was going to a birthday party that was being thrown for her friend Bailee, and asked me if I would join her. I gladly accepted since I've never been to a party before. This also gave me a chance to show off my new tutu.

The party was great! They even had a real ballerina come and teach the kids a dance. Everyone got a chance to perform what they learned.... Even ME!

I had a blast getting to meet so many sweet little girls... Oh and one brother who shale remain nameless. :-)

Note to Carina... I'M A DUDE! We DON'T wear tutus!

Just thought you might want to know.

Until next time...
Keep Rockin!

Coloring with Chalk

What a beautiful day! The sun is out and the weather is mild... For once! So in anticipation of summer, Carina's daughters, Alana and Ariana, joined me outside for some chalk coloring on the front porch.

This is a hard feet when you don't have fingers. Oh... and did I mention that the chalk is half my size?

I'm glad we went out when we did, because it started to warm up quickly. Oh well. I guess that's why Texans spend their time out doors in the morning and afternoons.

Now that I have weather on my mind. I'm worried that it will be a hot one this year. I guess I'll have to learn to swim! Stay tuned for that, I'm sure it will be interesting.

Until next time.
Keep Rockin!

My first adventure.

Hi friends. I hope all is well!
Birch Cedarton trying to set on the tracks 1
Yesterday Carina took me out on my first adventure! She wanted to catch me in "Action" for a blog called Action Shot Revolution. So we headed out to the rail road tracks

But before I can do any sweet jumps I have to stretch!

I must be out of shape because I hyper extended my leg during the warm ups... Sad!

Alright... Are you ready for this? Here we go!

Birch Cedarton's First action!

I was so excited that I did it with out seriously injuring myself that I did a bit of a happy jig on the third rail! Cue Lord of the Dance theme music.
Birch Cedarton Tip toeing on the tracks

When all was said and done my first adventure was tiring. So I sat down.... Er... TRIED TO SIT DOWN.. and watch the beautiful sunset.

Birch Cedarton trying to set on the tracks

Hey! You try sitting down with a rod shoved up your... Oh wait... this is a family blog. Anyways, I have to go ice my knee. I think it's a bit warped!

So until next time...
