13...Again

So, I totally didn't realize that I didn't post any of these pictures here on my blog.  I did some on Facebook, so somewhere in my brain, I thought I did it here.  Then, I was just looking and thought, where are her 13th birthday pics?  On Facebook, that's where!

So, here they are 2 weeks late.
My girl is growing up too fast. This week, she got asked out by a boy. She doesn't like him, so she just responded that she's not allowed to date.  But, man, David and I were not ready for that. What if she did like him?  I mean, she's obviously not going to have a boyfriend at 13.  She doesn't even want one now, but still.  Ugh, too fast, too fast!

Anyway, here was my pretty girl the morning of her birthday.


When she got home from school, I had presents for the cat, I mean her. 



She had her favorite dinner, roast, mashed potatoes, carrots and rolls.  Then, we went to the pool.


And home for pumpkin cake. All I do on her birthday is cook.


But, she's worth it.


And she finally got new bedding! She's had this bedding since she was 18 months old. I've tried to have her replace it a few times, but my girl is sentimental.  But, it is paper thin. The sheets won't stay on.  It was time.  


She picked out this super cute set and it matches her yellow walls, so we don't have to paint.  It looks so pretty.


Pam sent her a gift and this super cute shirt.



This lady posted on this neighborhood community group that her cat had to be put to sleep and she was getting rid of all of her cat stuff. One thing was a window hammock. So, I responded and went and got it all. It's Rio's new favorite place to sit and sleep. Ben's room is at the front of the house where all the action is. And by action, I mean bunnies. We have so many bunnies right now. It's a cats dream.


We went out to dinner at Olive Garden thanks to a gift from Gwynne and Enrique.  Emily loves their mac and cheese.


Emily and I went somewhere and couldn't resist this cute pic of Rio in the window.


Anyway, that's my girls 13th birthday and more info than you need to know about our cat.

Love the update! Rio is adorable and of course as are you and Emily! :)
Sarah started "dating" in Junior High and yep, ugh. It all happened so fast.
Looks like a wonderful 13th Birthday.

Love, Linda

After all the birthday celebrations with friends it was so nice to have a wonderful family birthday. .I love her new bedding. Glad you a got to enjoy a meal at the Olive Garden even though it didn't keep you out of the kitchen on her birthday. But I think you wouldn't want it any other way.
Love
