~I have read a lot of books this summer.... Most of them are short but I have read through 4 over 500 page books! They were the Twilight series if you are wondering.

 ~Today we started school. We don't start everything just math, spelling, and handwriting. My friend Catie is still coming over every day execpt Friday because her mom works and my mom is baby sitting her.

~I am going to be starting voice lessons soon. I am just glad I am doing it with someone I know, she used to babysit us.

~I went on a sleepover to my Grandma and Papa's house and my grandma and I went on a walk and she didn't know if she had locked the back door so we had to walk back and I tripped and fell and scraped up me knee and my elbow. I didn't feel very good. We I scraped by elbow is because I caught myself with my hand and my elbow. My elbow just bled and bled! It's is all yellow now! GROSS!

Yesterday morning it looked like it wasn't go to be a very nice day, but that changed! When we got there, my grandma and papa's house, the parents talked for a while and then my Papa took us took us to make some sail boats! They were really cool. And then after that we went to the creak to sail them!

In the middle of that it rained twice but it only sprinkled. And then there was also a family there that does Tae-kwon-do with us. So we had a lot of fun. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then we went back to my Grandma and Papa's house.

Then we ate dinner! We had, chicken, two kinds of salad, chips, buns, and then after that cake because we had two birthdays to do also!

And then a little while after the cake we went out to do the small fire-works! So fun! We did snakes, smoke bombs, bombs, sparklers, and more! And then after that, my cousin, Peter who is Josiah's age, came home with us to spend the night.

It is so cute how Josiah and Peter get along so well! Peter only laughs when Josiah laughs! SO CUTE!

Then at about 9:30 P.M. we went out to do the big fire-works! We did things were you load them and they go up in the air and they explode and then some more bombs and then also watched the town fire-works that they put of up at the fair-grounds.

We had a blast! How about you?

Natalie

We have a lot of stuff I need to buy! Yesterday we bought me a new swim suit that is a 1 piece (I have a tank-keni but my dad wants me to get a one piece because they are very strict about modesty and my bathing suit is modest but just in case, ya know?), shampoo, toothpaste, a camera (not like my digital camera so that is is not a big deel if someone steals it or I loose it) and............I THINK that is it.

 But I also have to pack up things like, clothes, PJS, and stuff like that!

~The Tale of Despereaux is about a mouse with big ears, it is a cartoon, but we have read the book and it is very good! InkHeart is a good book also, they might have changed a little bit but hopefully it is good anyway. The girl, Meggie, well, her dad can read things from books and that is not very good!

~My mom has been baby-sitting my friend so I see her about every day except Fridays.

~ We have been going to VBS at our church and another church. The Grace church has a really fancy and fun one and the one at our church it fun also. The Grace's theme is Hawaii and then our church's theme is western. Tonight is going to be really fun because our church is bringing HORSES for us to ride and take a picture of us on it! YAY!

I'm very sore from basketball camp! 6 HOURS OF BASKETBALL!!!!!!! Very sore, wouldn't you be? Well, some people may not always be sore because they are used to this sort of thing, but I'm not!

Please pray that I get A LOT better at basket-ball and that I will stop being SO sore!

On Thursday is my friend's birthday party, she will be 12. It is a slumber party so we will have a ball. Since we like to hang out with each other I know what some of the things they are going to be doing! I am excited because I have never spent the night at her house before, we haven't known each other that long, so this will be fun!

Natalie

Happy Father's Day! I hope all of you fathers have a great day!

The rodeo went well! It was really fun! My favourite part, well, two parts, in a rodeo is the bull riding and then the same thing but with the horses. The bull riding is when they try to buck a man off of them and then the horses thing is the same thing but with horses.

They also had Stick Races for like 3 and 4 (they also had I think 5 and 6 year olds) year olds and they raced, really cute! They also had, barrol racing, stuff where you are on a horse and try to rope a calf and once you do, get down and tie it up, they also did this, you have 2 guys on horses and one guy ropes the front part of a calf, and then the other guy the back 2 legs.

We had a really fun time and I took like 70 pictures, if you want, give me your email and I will email the picks to you!

Natalie

I can't wait until tomorrow! Tomorrow is the rodeo! SO FUN!

Tonight we are going to do my papa's father's day because he is going to a Royal Kids Camp and won't be here on Sunday. We are having short cake with straw-berries! YUM!

I did a review of New Moon on www.reviewsbynatalie.blogspot.com! New Moon is the second book to Twilight and I am reading the third book right now! It is so good.

The Twilight books!

   First Book ...     Second  Book    The Third Book....             The coming soon book!

These books I LOVE! I am only on the first one but they are good! They are also Young Adult and about a vampire who falls in love with a human but SO GOOD! It was kind of mean of my mom to make me go to bed right at a GOOD part!

So far, the "D" word is said in the first book and probably a couple times in the other books. But I really like them! And then there are a few kisses through out the book.

Natalie

My mom gets free movies that haven't some out on DVD and watches them and them writes a review on them and I will do the same thing but with books from the libary! ol. I will say how good the book was and if other people should read it and how many stars it should have. Here is what I mean by how many stars it should have.

1 star - Terrible

2 stars - Just Okay

3 stars - Good

4 stars- Very Good

5 stars - Brilliant, Wonderful, Excellent, Fabulous

That's how you will know if it is Brilliant, Wonderful, Excellent, Fabulous. So I just wanted to tell you all that. I got a haircut today. I think I look JUST like my mom.
