Swim Ranch and saying goodbye to some friends....






Last week, our best friends Addie and Anya moved to Texas.  We have been very sad, but it has been for the best!  They are in an amazing place with a gorgeous river and a great little cottage, and they have family, which is great for Anya.   Needless to say, we will be lost without them here!  As you all who read my blog know, we do a lot of stuff together.... so we will just have to make some long road trips to meet up!  I had to wait awhile to post about it because it hurts my heart :(  But we know we will see them soon!! Love to my BFF and PIC!! ;) Miss you!

On Saturday, we started the Swim Ranch for the 2nd year.  We decided to do Saturday Water Babies because Stella got a little burned out going every day for a week straight... this way we can have it be a treat to go swimming instead of a chore.  She did really well at the swimming part... she can blow bubbles, kick, jump off the side, and get in and out easily.  What she didn't do so well at was following directions!! She decided that she was already a good swimmer, so she wanted to do it herself.  She also wanted to be the one chosen each time to be the 'example' with the teacher!  Stella was definitely the center of attention.  And when you give a child her very own website centered around her, why wouldn't she be?? I guess I don't blame her for thinking the world revolves around her!! All I can tell you is, my husband will be taking her to next week's lesson... mama will be relaxing!!

Of coarse she thought she was running the show!!! This is Stellas world and were all just living in it ;) haha she does look adorable in her little bikini. I'm sure she and Tay will have a great time next week!

I'm so sorry to hear that addie and anya have moved. I know what it feels like to move away from great friends. ;)
