We had a blast swimming with the Horton girls and Katie earlier this week!  It was a morning full of girlie FUN in the SUN!

Here’s a picture of The Pond and Horton Girls back in 2011!  Noelle was 5 years old, Brylee and Anna Kate were 2 1/2 years old, and Cerly and Rose were only 6 months old!

Here they are today, summer of 2013!  (and sweet baby Audree too, who was asleep during this picture)  Noelle is 7, Anna Kate and Brylee are 4 1/2 and Cerly and Rose are 2 1/2!  Time flies by so quickly!

Here’s a look back at Katie, Cerly and Rose during their first swim play date in 2011.  They were 6 months old!

Here they are during their second summer at age 1 1/2, summer of 2012!

And here they are full-out 2 1/2 year olds in the summer of 2013!  Love that these sweet girls have been friends forever!

 

And here are some throw-back pictures of Brylee and Anna Kate.  The left picture is the summer of 2011, when they were 2 1/2!  The right picture is the summer of 2012, when they were 3 1/2!

And here they are this summer, 2013, at age 4 1/2!  Brylee was helping Anna Kate learn to hold on to the side.  You can see Anna Kate was so proud, beaming with pride!  Mike and I were talking about these pictures tonight, and we both noticed Anna Kate and  Brylee both changed a lot from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, but not much from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2.  That means this next year for Rose will be a big growing, changing year!  I can’t wait to see what she will look like when she’s 4; I think they change little by little after that, but the biggest changes are happening right now!

I love these super fun 2 year olds!

Snack time!

 

 

Cerly, Rose and Katie had fun posing for their adoring Mommies! 

And here are the big girls, Anna Kate, Brylee and Noelle, growing up too quickly!  Thanks guys for such a playful, giggly morning!
