Hey everyone. Well, I am wanting some extra cashhh, so does anyone know some ways to earn some moneyy? thankss!

I haven't updated in a long time! i won't let this happen again :] so, catching up, the trimester has ended and i also made the basketball team :D Thanksgiving was awesome,with staci here,and we even got some snow! Me and staci even went to old navy at 6:30 in the morning and bought sweaters for 15 dollars that were originally 50!!!

Volleyball

I, Natalie Lewis, has made the 7th grade volleyball team!!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself. 12 made it out of 18. :] i'm so happy :]

Purse!!!

so just today, i made a purse!!! while in dc (a coming post) jenna showed us how to make purses. We bought fabric and just today i made it. I made it, but mom was a real help (just love that woman) and it turned out really good!! it was actually alot of fun too!!!

reunion

alright so just a little bit ago, we were in minnesota for the Lewis family reunion. It was loads of fun. our activities included coneing, hiking the interstate park, saint paul saints game, a river boat cruise, camp fires, games, mall of america, and more! it was really fun. We also spent a day just relaxing in a nice hotel in galena illinois. one of my favorite parts of vaca was when we were on the river boat. Laurel (ella's 2nd youngest) was wearing croc's. somehow, it fell off and went flying off the top floor of the boat where we were at. She tried to catch it but the wind blew it out onto the water. She started sobbing like no other!! then mary (the youngest) started crying too! it was a really big fiasco. we turned the boat around trying to get it. Finally, two men on a jet ski came to our rescue and go the shoe. it was really funny :) we also got to go in Rex's plane wich he flew to the reunion!

LIFE

alright so i started playing this one game and it turns out that i absolutely love it!!! it's called the game of life. after just a few times playing it i was obsessed!!! if you havent played it, you totally should. we ended up buying it :)

Dresses

so on saturday after outback, me, staci, and jenna all went to target and we ended up all getting the same dress just diff. colors lol. jenna got pink, i got grey, and staci got black. then staci and jenna also got their "celebrity shoes" they had seen before and wanted.

Snow's Return

Well, out here in Ohio the snow has returned.
The snow began yesterday morning (April 6th) and has not stopped! I woke up this morning and to my surprise the ground was covered in a fresh blanket of white powder and it was still coming down! I was kinda hoping for spring to be here but i guess mother nature is the boss of that!



















I dont know if you can see it but the snow is still coming down strong!

Birthday!

Wellllll......Friday was my birthday and it was awesome!


first i got up and i had cinnamon rolls.
Then i opened presents and i got gift cards to barnes and noble bath and body works and a 25$ credit card. I also got a new sweatshirt and a bracelet and necklace.
then i went to school and my friend gave me a stuffed animal and an itunes giftcard. my other friend gave me a huge chocolate bunny :) then my friends gave me a crown and a card signed by a ton of people with a jolly rancher. My other friends obsessed with the amish (haha) gave me a wooden model of a butter churn.
then i came home and went to my room and i had a new bed spread! its striped and has a ton of colors. then i got to go to olive garden and hot an external hard drive for my computer (which sadly is not working right now) but yahhh. i also got 20 dollars from grandma lewis and some money fromn grandma stevens.Then later today with my own money i am ordereing a red dinosaur webcam:) and a beanbag for my fone. :) well here is my bed spread :



cool rightt? but the stripes are going the wrong way there they are suppose to go up and down but oh well i love it :)

Sorry! Haven't updated in a while..... Everything's great. My birthday is in 9 days though! yippeeeee.....okay well recently i have been doing a project in language arts and it is like on a social issue. My social issue was abortion. Here are some facts ive learned from researching:



Saline Abortion-Saline(a solution) is injected into the woman and it chokes the baby and burns its lungs and skin. The mother then gives birth to a dead baby.
93% of abortions are because the child is unwanted or inconvenient.
In the U.S. there are 3700 abortions per day.
Worldwide there are 115000 per day
42 mil. abortions per year worldwide.
Live fetuses may be sold for experiments such as dissecting, chests sliced open to observe heart, or heads cut off.
Risk for abortion are injuries to cervix,uterus. There may be hemorrage, heart failure, coma, or death.
only 1% of abortions are because of rape or incest.




WOW rightt???

this is a quote from Mother Teresa.
"If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other?"

Deeppp righttt??

Well my speech is tomorrow. Hopefully i get a good grade. We had to make a visual aid (poster board) an essay to turn in, and make up a speech and we had to finish the rough draft of the essay in 3 days, make the poster in 2 days, and had little time to make a speech and didnt get to practice with our visual aid. It was very crunched for time...but thats our language arts teacher for you :)

Well....i dont really have anything else to say...the weather today was raining....the grass is a deep green, and i guess spring is on its way!

DONT FORGET MY BIRTHDAY!!! APRIL 3rd and i was born at 8:17 AM :)

ohh yeahhh and i got an ihome and it is awesome! you can change the grille speaker cover from black blue or pink and its a radio and alarm clock. Quite fun to dance to :) I have also started a new book. It is called the boy in the striped pajamas. It is very good so far but everyone says it is extremely depressing and sad at the end. I recently finished a book called a bend in the road by nicholas sparks and it was great! Its a big book and i started it sunday night and finished it on monday after school. I am at about 20 books right now and only need 40 more to reach my goal. I am almost finished with a book called ballet shoes and have only a few pages left. It is funny and cute and my favorite character in it is Posy Fossil. :)



Welllllll....thats all for now...Bye!!! Ü
