Swimming, and a party I can't compete with...

Last week it was warm enough to swim - sort of. The kids were a little cold, but enjoyed the pool for a good 1/2 hour.


Auntie Emma got the girls cute matching bikinis. Lila models hers while showing off her standing skills.


Today we went to Maddy's 3rd Birthday party. It was Cinderella-themed, and it was definitely the stuff fairy tales are made of. We were all relaxing in the yard, enjoying the festivites, when suddenly a horse came riding into the driveway. It had a big blue bow around its neck. It was a present for Maddy!


And check out this masterpiece! Maddy's Mama has some mad cake making skills.


Lila was totally impressed with Maddy's wheels.


Elsa, Gracie, and Henry on the trampoline. They loved it.


I went to look for Lila and found her surrounded by a crowd of baby-admirers.


Elsa really liked these hanging rings like the ones from school. She had even more fun when she realized it was okay to let go.


Of course Lila had to try them out, too.
