Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Riley and Uncle Andrew!!! Riley had his on the ninth, and Uncle Andrew is going to have his on the fifteenth. Both of you, have a great birthday! I love you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just thought this picture was funny. Poor turkey, though.

November and Alicia

November is here! So many things: Clark's birthday, Brooke's birthday, Dad's birthday, my ear surgery, and Thanksgiving! Not to mention that Grandmary and Grandpa are coming home! I know I'm excited. Here's a picture to celebrate: Maybe you haven't heard, but Alicia got her braces off yesterday! Congratulations, Alicia!

You look gorgeous! (Even better than the cornucopia!)

Halloween

Halloween is coming! I'm so excited. This is going to be so awesome. My school, San Elijo Middle, is even letting us dress up.

This is an awesome picture of Harry Potter jack o'lanterns that I found online. The images are so elite!

Off Vacation, Back to School

Vacation is over now, and it's time to go back to school. Last week I was smushing all the fun I could for the last week of summer in Utah. It was a lot cooler than here in California. We met Lauren's boyfriend, Seth. He was really nice. He came with us to the waterpark, Seven Peaks, Zupas, which has amazing soups and sandwiches, and Brick Oven. We also went to (without Seth) Cafe Rio, bowling, and shopping for Lauren and Brooke (Which could include the BYU Bookstore).

The first day of San Elijo Middle School was wonderful. I was able to find all my classes, luckily, since I hadn't been to the tour. I have four teachers, and they were all kind. I just went around and did pretty much the same thing in each class, since it was the first day, which meant go to every class and say," Hi, I'm Natalie Stevenson, and I like to go by Nat." Pretty easy.

A Very Berry Milkshake

This is simple, really simple:

• Milk
• Frozen blueberries, razzberries, strawberries, and blackberries
• Vanilla ice cream

Blend then serve.
