Beachy Queen!

See this little girl? She is a princess in her own right and requested that her 5th birthday take place at the beach. So we, the Royal family, obliged.




















Jared is out of town so Mary was my buddy for the hour long drive to Galveston.





















Lots of unloading and carrying. Hey, is Harris empty-handed? Why yes, yes he is.



















Straight for the waves!! The three amigos, from darkest to lightest, Matthew, Ethan, and Ike. (Girl on the left, not an amigo)



















Faith, Madison and grandma. Faith's swimmsuit comes down like a skirt. Madison must have wanted the same effect.























Some liked the sand.


























Some liked the water.




















Some liked the shade. Dad's legs look like they really like the shade!






















And that's my fake smile, masking the irritation, because guess who hated the "salty pool with too many waves!" and cried a good portion of the time?





















This guy!





Oh well, it's all worth it for you! Happy Birthday Clairey!!!!

I'm comin' Baby!

Dear Miriam,
I know it is hard to be away from your favorite auntie but don't you worry, I'll be there in six days! And I'm sorry, I'm afraid I DO have to bring those three other aunties who just annoy you and take up precious time that you could be spending with me.
Love,
Aunt Liz

P.S. I don't know why their breath smells like that. I really don't.
