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. It was a fun shopping trip with just the girls and mom :)

Birthdays!

so this past weekend was staci & jennas birthdays. On saturday (staci's bday) she opened presents and got a digital cameram, an awesome pencil and small notebook and jacket and a purse from jenna. We had biscuits and eggs that morning and it was really fun. Later we went to Outback and it was delicious! after that we came home and had bday cake. we had the numbers 25 then 21 candles. It was really good! Then on sunday when we celebrated jenna's birthday we had monkey bread for breakfast. :) later she opened her one present from me wich was another cool pencil and notepad and we had a nice day. **next post is Jennas other present :)
