We had so much fun celebrating Bekah’s birthday this weekend.  We started out doing such a fun scavenger hunt at the mall!  Definitely a b-day idea to remember!

Bekah Boo’s an official teenager!  I can’t believe you are already 13!

Making smores with friends!

Sharon & Bekah made her yummy cookie cake – too cute!

"Happy Birthday, dear Bekah…" sings Noelle.

Although Noelle wasn’t feeling too well, she still cracked herself up as usual.  Mike said he was sorry he couldn’t make it (he was sick sick). 

Bekah, we love living so close to you guys and sharing memories like your 13th birthday with you.  You are such a great friend, and we love you so much!!!  Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

Clarissa in front of the new Cowboys stadium with her Cowboys NFL signature teddy bear, won straight from the claws of the crane game at lunch last Monday!

Ahh… memories!

Clarissa, thanks for visiting Texas.  You were such a trooper (living with a 2 year old)!  Please come back and see us soon!  🙂

You’re funny John!  

Okay, this was a good one!  You were supposed to be taking pics of Noelle – haha!

"Look at my arabesque Clarissa and Brother Man!" 

Noelle played with this soccer team while we were eating ice cream in the town center.  As we were leaving she said, "Mommy, can you take my picture with the soccer teams?"  Let’s just say she loves this pic so much we may have to frame it for her room!

Noelle & Clarissa right before her haircut and the gang getting ice cream afterward!

Can you find the football?  

We had such a wonderful Sunday afternoon in playing in the sun! (last weekend)

Walking the runway at Sweet & Sassy after her haircut!

Saturday we went to Brother Man’s house in Dallas to hang out.  His back yard is so beautiful, and we all had such a great day relaxing and playing games.

We ate at Trail Dust with friends Friday night for Clarissa’s first night in A-town.  Clarissa, it seems like just yesterday I was visiting you guys in CA when you were Noelle’s age!  We had a blast having you here – lots more pics to come!

Noelle flirting with Tim!

Noelle takes center stage (and is loving every minute of it)!

This picture just makes me laugh! 

Big slide – GO TIM!

John teaching Clarissa how to Texas two-step!  Fun night!

For those of you who got a kick out of Noelle’s "God Bless America," you are not alone.  Noelle seriously cracked herself up!  When she watches it, she giggles and covers her mouth with her hand.  

I love these pics!  I am shadowing my friend, Sarah, who is a photographer and after our session with her client was over, we decided to click a few pics of Noelle & Rara.  Sarah got some great shots as well, and I’m having so much fun learning with her!
