My Little Fish

Cyprus LOVES the water.  I have been taking her to a pool weekly for a month and she has really done well.  We got an underwater disposable camera for a school project for Isaac and got some fun underwater shots.  This one is the best!
I love Cy's cheeser in this one... not so much my white thighs, but whatever, that is the color I am!  I am finally listening to my mom and always wearing sunscreen and hats!
She loves the little red slide at the American Fork Rec Center!
Do you know how difficult it is to hold a pose under water?!  Isaac said I look like I am in labor at the bottom of the pool.  I'm not :)  I am laughing though.
I guess this is how I look to fish... anyway.  This swimsuit is not a maternity one, but it has kind of a rouched (I don't know if that is a word, but I thought I saw it describing the gathered fabric on a shirt once) dress overlay.  It is kind of fun.
My brother, Scott, works at the pool in Provo, so I meet him there, or go when he works and we get to go for free.  It is warm and Cyprus will play for a full hour before getting cold.  She jumps off the side (about 1.5 ft above the water) to me and has even started to swim by herself to the steps all underwater!  Scott and I like to have her swim back and forth between us.  She will do that for 30 minutes!  She keeps her eyes open under water and just holds her breath!  The first few times, she freaked me out and I pulled her up.  I calmed down, and let her do it alone and she has done so well.  It is just so much fun to see her take to the water like that.

How come your don't even look prego? What's with that? And you're due in like what... 5 weeks? whatever. Seriously tho, you are the cutest prego friend I've ever had and still the smallest prego woman I've ever seen. I wish we lived closer so we could play in the pool together. That sounds so refreshing.

Hope to see you soon!!!

loves.

Kinda hatin' how cute you are pregnant and kinda amazed at the fearlessness of your daughter.

And yes, you used "rouched" correctly.

Wow! Good job on all your blog updates! I love these water pictures! I'm totally jealous though, cause Kellen won't even set a foot in the big cold pool without his arms wrapped around my neck! I guess he hasn't been around pools that much in his life. I feel bad. How young did you start Cyprus? I want Jane to enjoy the water, and SWIM!
So, thanks so much for the postcard! Seeing you was one of the highlights of my year for sure! It felt as if we'd never been apart. Tay says he'll sleep in Kellen's room any time you want to visit!:)
Can't wait to see that little baby! Cyprus is so dang cute, and even more so in person. I love that you let her wear her crazy hat to church. That's a good mom in my opinion.
You look absolutely beautiful, as always. It's funny that short, stubby, brunette, me... ended up with a tall, slender, blond-haired, big-blue-eyed beauty for a roomie! How did we ever make that work? ;) I'm so glad it did! I love you so much! Lets meet some time in Logan, OK!

I really want to get Baylie swimming, but I could never post a picture of myself in a swimsuit on my blog. You look great and Cyprus is adorable as always.
