Rilyn's Big Weekend

We had a pretty low key week this last week. Rilyn started swim lessons with Aunt Shelley. She is not too sure about lessons but I think shes just dramatic. Shelley thinks shes a natural swimmer. She has great kicks and tries to do her big arms. Maybe she can be on the swim team when she gets older. My cousin Vanessa graduated from ASU this week. She is going on to graduate school on the East Coast so we got her a big package of Mac and Cheese. I figured that would feed her for a week or so! Just kidding! On Friday we took Rilyn swimming at Cody's parents house. I figured the more I have her in the water the better. She took her princess swimming toys (we have princess dive sticks and and ariel bath toy that we decided could go in the pool too) and she had a blast! She didn't want to get out! She did awesome. She was doing the stuff that she does in swimming lessons with out the screaming that goes on with swimming lessons. I was so proud. I told her if she did the screaming thing at the next lesson she would be in trouble for being a drama queen since now I know shes faking! (She knows I'm kidding she would never be in trouble for that) She has been asking me to go swimming every day since Friday. She is so funny! On Saturday morning she woke up and helped her dad mow the lawn and played with her new big girl bike that her cousins Sera and Alexa passed down. She loves it. We went to Target and got a pink basket for the front of the bike and a pink horn. She just sits on it and honks the horn. So funny! She wants to hold your hand the whole time shes on the bike though because she is afraid of being up there alone. On Sunday night we went over to Frank and Debbies to say hi and Rilyn got to play with Tatum. They are too funny together. They are either best friends and playing together or they are worst enemies and screaming at eachother. I guess now I know what it will be like when she has siblings or at least sisters. And in more crazy news...Rilyn will be 2 on Sunday!! Thats less than a week away!! I can't believe that my baby can be that old already!! Where does the time go?

I can't believe she is already swimming and riding a bike (I know it has training wheels but still!!) Crazy!
