Poppa had a tennis tournament in Ft. Worth last weekend and played with us in between his games.  It was fun having him pop in and out all weekend!  We had a good time!<\/p>\n

Bo called Noelle a \u201cdiva\u201d while Poppa was pulling her around the pool.  She thought that was a fun new word!<\/p>\n

Poppa had to keep it really cold upstairs so his muscles wouldn\u2019t cramp up, so the girls had \u201csleep overs\u201d with us.  Anna Kate has asked us every night this week if it is time yet for our next sleepover.  Our rule is one night a week, on a pallet on the floor\u2026 must be on a weekend.  It\u2019s a great system to have some fun but within healthy boundaries!  And they respect that and really look forward to it as a special treat!<\/p>\n

Noelle has worked for over 2 months for the Justin Bieber movie\u2026 over 60 full out chores!  Both girls were so giddy and excited!  It\u2019s so funny!  Turns out, I had a $5 off coupon to EntertainMart (oh yeah), and we bought it used for $9.99\u2026 so she had over $10 left in her purse.  She was beyond thrilled about her good deal, like squealing and laughing while she was shoveling coins back into her purse!  I\u2019ll tell you what she\u2019s going to do with the rest of her money soon \u2013 it\u2019s creative! <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve landed on a favorite yogurt place!  Rara and Noelle found it this spring.  Since then, we\u2019ve tried 3 other places, but this one\u2019s the best by far\u2026 the name of it is Yogurt Zone.  Now, bear in mind, Noelle wants to work at Purple Berri when she\u2019s a teenager so she can say, \u201cHi, welcome to Purple Berri\u2026 would you like a sample cup?\u201d so don\u2019t tell her future employer! <\/p>\n

Rose was having a good time watching Poppa stretch his neck one night.<\/p>\n

They were having a little moment!<\/p>\n

And, the rest of the story is Poppa won all 3 of his games, and took home the first place prize for his division.  His competition was steep\u2026 he was playing guys 20+ years younger than he is.  Crazy!  I thought he would win the first game, maybe the second, doubtful the third, and lo and behold he won the whole thing!  GO POPPA!  Congrats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
