Well last summer was the first time that Alyson took swim lessons. She loved it! Since we have moved, we decided to go to another facility that was closer to home. And I am so glasd we changed -- this place is awesome! It is for 2 weeks straight a half hour each lesson - but she can already swimm underwater and is learning the back stroke ---- now I know why some parents camped out the night before (seriously!) She has even taken to jumping off the diving board - I never thought she would do it! And the day that she did -- I didn't take my camera -- but I will be ready this week!
I have quite a few pics but I haven't had time to upload them -- so these are some that are ready!
This picture was the first day. She was listening to her teacher's instructions.
And although she looks tan there you should see her today --geesh! She definitely has my skin and not her dads (which is good - because he burns easily).
And putting her head under waer which is HUGE for her - she is so not a fan of getting water in her eyes and face (makes bathtime FUN). But we did get her goggles and she is swimming like a fish now!
And this year we had to stock up on swimsuits -- her other ones were finally too small. And yes she gets more than one -- she basically is in them year round so I try to get her a few. And this one was too cute to pass up -- I love Old Navy! I don't know about you but I have a hard time finding swim suits that are age appropriate. At Target in the girls section there were tons of suits that were cute but not for an almost 5 year old. I think this one is perfect!
Oh and I did scrap those invites (thanks for the compliments on the picture) - and let me tell you it turned out to be a process that I wasn't expecting. But thanks to my scrappy friends it FINALLY came out and here it is (sorry for the poor photo)
I know you were probably expecting something more but this is it! All the birthday infor will go on the back. Getting these out ASAP!
I will have more for you tomorrow!
BYE!

I love that sweet little photo of her sitting at the edge of the pool- that ones is BEGGING to be scrapped!
I love the b'day invitation! The touch of tulle is perfection!
