Hannah's 7th Birthday Party!

Today was so much fun! We drove to San Antonio to celebrate Hannah's Birthday with a luau at Jenn & Wade's neighborhood pool. As always, Jenn did an unbelievable job decorating the pool area with pink & green everything. The food was delicious, the cake was beautiful... no detail was left untouched! We all had such a blast! Sophie swam for nearly 3 hours straight, which more than tripled the amount of time we typically spend in the pool. She was a fish - jumping in and swimming 10 seconds under water all by herself. The swimming lessons have really paid off this summer.

It's no surprise that kids copy each other. Today, Sophie decided she wanted to jump off the DIVING board after she saw Ethan jump. I can't believe those two! They are only two years old and jumping fearlessly several feet from the air into a pool 9 feet deep. I love it!

Sophie's cousins, Sarah and Hannah, were trying hard to get a picture with Sophie.















The next 3 pictures show the progress of Sophie's diving board experience... from walking down the board by herself, to getting ready to jump, to the "air shot".











































Sophie, along with all the other kids, had a chance to hit the pinata:

I am so proud of Sophie...swimming all by herself and going underwater is a big step, and to top it off she jumped off the diving board 5-6 times.


These pictures are so great..thanks for sharing Daisy.

Love, David

She was such a good swimmer and she looks like she is busy telling Hannah about the back flip she is going to attempt off the diving board....just a few years and that will be the case!

Great blog Daisy.
