Natalie turns 9

Natalie chose an owl cake this year.



This is the geocache they found.













Natlaie turned 9, March 25th. She has grown so much this year. She breezed through 3rd grade and is working on finishing 4th so that she can start 5th grade this fall with J. She started taking clogging this year for the first time. She is really pretty good. She is playing softball again, and is playing catcher. She still has the same sweet and tender heart. She has met several new people through our homeschool group, and although she misses getting to go to school and see friends everyday, I think she likes being able to be home too. She still loves reading and has read the first three Narnia books, and is reading the reading the Allie Finkle series. She is growing into the young lady that God wants her to be. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her.


















She decided to have a sleepover. She had 2 girls from her softball team, and one friend from our homeschool group. After the game we went to the park, and had a picnic. They layed at the park for about and hour and then we went home. The played with dolls, and then Randle took the girls on a geocache hunt. It was near Lay Lake. Natalie and L fell in the lake, and they all got eaten up by mosquitos. When they came home we made soap, ate cake, and they danced like maniacs. Denise and my mom came over for the cake, and got to see all the crazy dancing. I put them to bed around 11:30 so that they could be up in time to get ready for church. At 2:30 am they all came in my bedroom, fully dressed, shoes, and hair brushed shaying they were ready for church. I VERY quickly told them it was NOT time to get up and to put their PJs back on and go back to bed. Such silly girls, they thought they were very funny.
