Hannah took down some of G's birthday cake!

We want to thank G and Pop for inviting us and the rest of the family to the beach for a great weekend. It is rare for the whole family to get together (minus Keith - we missed you there). We will be thinking of G on her real birthday, during the Auburn season opener on August 30th.

While at the beach, Pop threw a small surprise party for G's birthday (real birthday is August 30th). Hannah, not wanted to be left out, made sure she was right in the middle of the action.

Curran is growing up fast. Curran let me take this picture, in return, she wanted to use my camera. I did not feel really good about the idea, however Curran took some good pictures with my camera. - Daddy

Hannah and Reilly really enjoyed spending time with their cousins, Shane and Brooke. They do not get down to G and Pop's house very often, but we were able to travel down and see them when they came down this year.

Hannah's Godfather "God-Shane" was teaching Hannah how to use a high powered camera, but little did he realize, Hannah is an old pro with a Nikon camera. However, she did try to sneak a slip of his beer, since he was tempting her with it.

Eventually, we were able to cheer up and get a good one!

This is really hard boring work.

So the photo-shoot was going a bit slow, Hannah would not sit with her cousins for the picture, and everyone seemed to be tired of the pictures. It is rare that you capture every child in the picture looking unhappy.

The whole gang

At the beach we attempted to get all the grandchildren together for a picture with G and Pop. It is not easy getting this many kids to look in the general direction of the camera at one time. Hannah seemed to think the picture was a big surprise.

Excuse Me, Excuse Me!

I have somethin' to say!

Reilly meets his aunt Robyn

Reilly met his Aunt Robyn last weekend at the beach. Robyn live near Philadelphia, and Reilly has not yet made it up there, so Robyn came to met Reilly at G and Pop's house.
