Natalie Turns 14

Natalie is now officially 14.  It really is crazy to think how close to adulthood she is.  She is in her freshman year of high school.  She completed both 7th and 8th grade last school year so that she could be ahead.  She still wants to be a Vet.  She is planning for the time being on attending Auburn University and becoming a large animal vet.  She is into throwing knives, climbing trees, photography, and volleyball.  She is still as sweet as she has always been.  She wants everyone to be kind to one another, get along, and for everyone to be included.  She cannot stand to see someone hurting.  While she gets frustrated with her sister, she still looks out for her.  She loves to read and will read almost anything.

She wanted to go see Allegiant with three of her friends from her Science class.  So, Thursday 3/24,  we picked her friends up after school and had pizza at and then went to Apple Theater in Winsted.




Friday, 3/25, there was no School for Good Friday,  so Natalie was able to stay home and enjoy her day. Randle stayed home with the girls, while I babysat.  They made a camp video for Easter, Wally VS Hoppy. It turned out really cute. 

Natalie wanted to open her gifts before I went to work, so we brought them to her bedroom and let her open them.  She is loving outdoors and adventure type things right now, so we got her a multi-tool and a hydration backpack.  She bought a record player after Christmas, so we bought her some records as well.







For the second year in a row, Natalie requested a Reese's Peanut Butter Cake.  It is completely flour free, and so sweet it makes your mouth hurt.  We could only eat tiny pieces at a time.  It is a chocolate cake, with Peanut Butter Cream Icing, and a Chocolate ganache.  It is very rich and very good.  This years looks a lot prettier than last years.  Last year's cake was a definite Pinterest Fail, at least visually.
