Swim Lessons

The kids now LOVE their swimming lessons. I have a lot more pictures than this but since these are edited because I turned them in for my photography class I thought I may as well post them. I will openly admit to being obsessed with little girl bathing suits. Addi has at least 5 bathing suits and I heart every last one of them. She loves them too. The bad thing is, when I see a cute one, I STILL stop, look, and actually consider buying it. I know... but they're SO cute!! And, yes, I'm the evil Mom who puts her little Mormon girl in a bikini. But lets be honest, how long can you wear a bikini with a tummy like that and thighs like those and still look cute? Not long enough so we gotta live it up! :) This first picture totally cracked me up. I THINK she may open her eyes under water... but I'm not 100% sure. ;) (She's swimming to the wall and grabbing it, by the way. I'm not watching her drown just to get a cute picture.)

The other day while her swim teacher was about 1/2 way across the pool Addi fell off the Baja step and into the pool. We weren't back there at the time (Bryan was in the car with Carter getting him changed) but another mom saw it happen. She yelled to the teacher but by the time the teacher got to Addi, she had flipped onto her back and was floating just like Miss Pam has shown her! It was a VERY proud moment for her teacher and surprisingly, didn't even scare Addilyn. Hopefully she learned her lesson though. She is SUPPOSE to sit on the top step while she waits her turn... not play on the Baja step. Little turkey. (Little floating turkey, though.)
