Noelle’s reward for letting me take her picture all day was that she got to take mine when I was finished taking hers, and I’m really happy she did.  I never want to forget this fun, exhausting, hot, and inspiring day with my girls from the lens of Noelle!

Noelle had so much fun dressing up for school on Thursday!!! 

Noelle was hamming it up at her school parade!  She was loving all of the attention!

Noelle kept smiling and waving to everyone ~ this was the perfect activity for her sparkly personality!

This is Noelle’s class!  Just between you and me, she has a little crush on the cowboy… his name is William, and he’s a really sweet friend.  They have such a great class and even though they only have four girls, it works out perfectly.  They get to go to the “cafe” for lunch every day (it’s like a little Starbucks), and the four girls sit together at a round table.  The first day, she told us that no one was talking at lunch, so she asked, “What does everyone want to say?” The cafe and her friends are Noelle’s favorite part about school, of course!  :) 

Yay, here’s to a winning smile for Noelle in her “Barbie” costume!   

Clarissa and Grandpa Jim were in town over the weekend hanging out at TCU and going to a Cowboys game.  On Sunday, the Prince girls went with us to the pumpkin patch.  I thought we’d show them some Texas fall festivities!

Bekah and Noelley!

Anna Kate saying “No!” to a kiss… little pill!  Cute pill though!  And cute Toria!

Grandpa Jim enjoying the smell of fresh corn with his granddaughter!  And of course, chatting away on his cell!  :)  Gotcha!

Clarissa and Victoria living the country life!

I still can’t believe both of these girls can drive!  

Corn maze competition!!!

Mike, Bekah, and Anna Kate pulled out a 2 minute win over Victoria, Clarissa, and Noelle!

What a fun night!!! 

Noelle is singing “Baby” By: Bieber but this is the best sister pic I got, so here’s to our singing daughter and our little bumble bee!

More singing!  🙂

One smile was all we got today, but that’s okay! 

Anna Kate is starting to get into dress-up and loving it so much!!!

Noelle drew this picture of me and put it on my nightstand this morning.  She’s amazing!

On the way to the party, the girls got to walk with their neighbor, Julia.  This is them saying hello!

Princesses looking for worms!

This costume is so sentimental for me!!!

It seems like I got more pictures on the way to the party than I did at the party, but you Moms know how parties go… the kids run around like crazy!

Hopefully we’ll get another chance to take a picture of Malia and Anna Kate!

Happy birthday, Dylan!

Ethan’s skeleton costume scared Anna Kate!  🙂

Noelle has loved animals all of her life… here’s a little look back!

The first time she touched a sheep it took a little getting used to.  I love that her face looks so similar in the first and third pictures.

Yes, she is licking the goat ear in the second picture!  

And literally put the rooster’s beak in her mouth!  I guess she survived!  :)  

And loved on the rabbits!

Noelle had an assignment last week in Awanas to draw how she’s grown, because they are talking about how Jesus grew in wisdom…  she did a great job!  

I was pregnant at the Arboretum with Anna Kate this year (2008)!

I’m so much bigger this go around!  🙂

This is one of my favorite pictures of Noelle, and since I ran across it looking up Arboretum pictures, I had to share again!
