Cousins and pool time

We enjoyed a surprise visit from our cousins, The Millers.  After they left Ella told me, 
"my cousins are my best friends, mommy."
It was the sweetest thing.  She hasn't even met all of her cousins, but if you tell her she's going to visit a cousin she gets very excited!

 Amelia ready for pool time at the Millers
 She is such a precious pumpkin.  I fall more and more in love with this kid every day!


Yikes!


Little Amelia had to be like her big sister and go off the diving board.  They both have been doing really well with swimming this summer.
 More shots of Amelia enjoying the pool and diving board.








Ella was loving the water.  She thinks she's the best swimmer already and "doesn't need swim lessons."  She insisted she didn't need lessons, but she's in them despite her protests:)



 Aunt Michelle enjoying the pool and sharing words of wisdom, her favorite thing to do when she comes to visit:)
 Amelia proves the m&m slogan to be false.  Melt in your mouth, not your hand?  What about around your mouth?

Ella's "dive"... it's a good start







 Love these sidewards jumps. 



 Ella and Nathan, the king and queen are ready for the ball

 Amelia and Ella fought over Nathan while he was there
 Ella usually won
 She was literally attached at the hip to him.  Can you blame her though?  He's so cute, and he's so sweet to his little cousin.
