Bethie

Our friend Beth did a local bike race which happens to be very close to our house. Here she is taking the inside from the yellow jersey.
I ask you, does this look like someone who just raced against elite riders for an hour? well she said it wasn't too hard.

Max's Rainy Day!

"Outside!" I cried. "Not yet Max, it's raining." said Max's Mommy.

So Mommy put on Max's fireman rain boots, and her own slippers.

"Outside!" I screached. "Not yet Max," said Mommy, "you need to put on your red rain slicker."

(For more please read the book Ruby's Rainy Day) After a lot of rain, I got outside for a photo shoot with Cousin Hanna, Aunt Pat and Dad
Say Cheese, Dad!

Christmas Photo

For our Christmas photo we poached the trees at the nice hotel on the sea wall.

Play Time with Grandparents

Grandpa catches me when I go down the slide (on my own!!)
Daddy crawls through the tubes with me.
Grandma goes down the slide with me:)

The Aquarium at Moody Gardens

I loved putting my face close up to the tank glass and watching the sea lions buzz by me - definitely my favorite.

Then we all got locked in the shark tank - look how excited dad is.
