School Year Pictures

2011-11-13T13:57:00.000-08:00

Here are my school pictures, at least the ones that I liked! This picture was taken by one of my favorite trees, a cherry tree. I had no idea that cherry trees could get SO pretty in the fall! We have had this tree for a while now, but I guess I have just been too busy and have not had the time to notice all of the beautiful creation that God has made for us to enjoy!

This picture was taken by the road. I didn't think that this one would turn out, but I kinda like it! I hope you do too! :)

It was too funny, while my mom was trying to take my pictures, all of the cats came and kept on getting in the way, one time one of the cats just jumped up on my back and sat there, like it was supposed to be there in the picture!! I love cats!

I know that this would not be the best picture for a school picture, but I really liked this one too, and I thought I would just throw it in! :)

2011-08-10T15:32:00.000-07:00

Okay so as you can see this is Amelia, and her fish! I just really liked this pictures so I just had to post it! And yes I did take this picture! :)

Love doing Hair!

2011-05-09T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!! Its so much fun to blog and I love doing it, but was you can see I don't blog very much! You see life for me has been really busy for me, but its not something that is always getting in your way! Its really fun stuff! Just on the 7th my baby chicks hatched! That day was also Prom for Anja, Annika and Marie!

I got to help them all with their hair! Well I didn't do Marie's, because he had a friend Nikki, a girl from Church do her hair and stuff! It was really well done! I also got to do another girls hair! So 3 girls is not that bad, but it was funny. Everyone was doing their hair in my room, witch was Ben's old room! If you have seen my room you would be surprised! Its a really small room, so from everyones hair spray and perfume it was really fogy in my room! And hot and clammy! But over all it was the most fun I have ever had for getting ready for Prom!!

Another thing that I got to do for a friend, Tricia that is, cut her hair! I really liked it! It looked really good! She liked it as well! Well thats all I have for today! Talk to you all soon, hopefully! ;)

Love

Mouse/Trap/Cart

2011-04-08T14:16:00.000-07:00

Here's my little brother Reuben!! As you can see he is not happy with his work at the time! The weel had just came off and he could not get it back on, so on his face is a little frustration!

Thankfully he did manage to get the weels back on! Now to try it out! ;)

As you can see something went wrong well he was trying it out!! This is not a fake picture, this really happened. In the picture below this one his thumb is turning purple. I got a good laugh at Katrina's face in the backround, She was trying to smile for the picture!

If you want to know what on earth is he making, he made a mouse trap cart with little fake coins and some tape to hold it together! What fun, right! :)

My Desk

2011-02-24T20:43:00.000-08:00

Okay.... what can I say...... I had nothing to do this day, so I thought I would take some pictures of my candy and makeup..... that I can't even wear yet! :) The type of candy it is, I have to say its my favorite, skittles! There are two kinds that I do not like though, the purple and green! The funny thing is that grape and lime are my favorite flavors, and my favorite colors! Funny how flavors can be so good sometimes and other times, so nasty that I don't even want to taste that flavor ever again!!

I was in my room, after I got all of my school done, and I was looking at my desk!! I thought to myself, "Wow! I sure do have a lot of stuff on my desk!" So I thought that I should show you all what my desk looks like, most of the time! and by the way, I moved back into my old room! :) I'm glad that the little kids don't get into my stuff as much as they always did, which was a lot!

My desk again! Can you see the purple mp3 player on the picture above this one?? It has some cords that are connected to it! Well, I got that not too long ago! Its called a zune and it's AMAZING!! I got a 32 GB and it's a touch! You can do most anything on it! Okay, I'm done talking about it, but I just had to tell you about it! ;)

I was eating the candy that was on my desk! I have to say, it was really good, but there was some glitter on it though! Don't worry... I'm still alive! I'm so sorry I have not had the time to blog! :(I will try to do it more, but I won't be able to after sometime in March, because Annika my sister wants to take my camera with her to Ireland! I'm going to let her, so I just won't be able to put pictures on but I will still try to post stuff! Well I have to go now! Blog ya all later!

Ha ha isn't this a great picture of my mom or what? I bet you want to know what my mom was doing trying on these silly glasses right? Well we went on a field trip for the day! It was about bees and how they do stuff! Then we started to get into how the bees see, so the guy that was telling us about the bees gave everyone some glasses to try on! So we all did, and I just had to get a picture of my mom!

This is everyone that went on the field trip! Can you see the pink thing above my head? That's my friend's hand that took the pictures! Ha ha, oh well.

Katrina! She is awesome at climbing on the whole play ground!! I never knew till we came here before we went to the bee thing! :)

This is Johann and his amazing smile!! I love this kid!!

2010-09-23T13:11:00.000-07:00

Here I am, this is me, and I'm finally 13!!! I can't believe that I'm 13 now! It seem that it was only yesterday that I said I can wait to be 13 and now I am 13. Last year I said to my Mom that I just wish that I could be 13 and I could just skip being 12, but now I'm glad that I wasn't just 13 last year, becuse I think now that 12 is the best year of my life, almost! You know I might have quite a few years ahead of me yet. Overall, I just thought that 12 was really fun!! It's going all too fast now! Before I know, I'm going to 14............. but I guess I will just have to wait and see what's going to come up next!

Bithday Party

2010-09-20T17:09:00.000-07:00

This was at my birthday party! it was so much fun! I thought that it would be fun to have a make-up party/dress up, party! It was a sleep over and we had a blast. Mariah didn't get to spend the night, but she came back the next morning! As you can see they were doing my make up and I wasn't to sure if this was such a good idea! But I'm still alive and doing great today! Anyway Mariah did the right side of my face and Sierra did the left side! oh but the arrow I did! I thougt it would look cool! I think I look pretty weird!

Now this is Mariah! I did her! It was so much fun! if you can't quite see everything, then this is what I put on there! I put a fish around her eye, and on her cheek I put a heart with an arrow though it! By her chin I put my anitials!

OH Seirra! now this was really funny! I think she looked the funniest out of all of us! I did the right side and Mariah did the left! I did all eye shadow and Mariah, well she did EVERYTHING on her side! but oh how funny she looked! I don't think I will ever forget that day!

Now this is all of us together! wow when my family saw us they were like amazed of what we looked like! ha ha

2010-07-29T16:38:00.000-07:00

This is my friend, Mariah! As you can see, this is her eye. It was so nice of her to let me do rainbow colors on her eyes because I wasn't sure if it would look good or not. Anyway..... I went over to the Hicks house one day and us girls, Maddy,Mariah and I, thought that we might do a little makeup stuff! It was a BLAST, and I hope that we can do it again some time soon!

This is me!! I did my own makeup because I love to do things my way.... most of the time! Ha ha. Anyway in this picture it looks like I have blue on right? Well it's really green, a really bright green, so I thought that I might tell you all that! Lol

Now this is Maddy! She is an amazing friend...... She's always such a blast and there is never a dull moment with her!

This is all of us..... I know what you might be thinking right now, Maddy is wearing a swimming suit right? You see, before I came over to their house, they came over to my house to swim in our pond so when we got to their house they were all still in swimming suits! Overall it was so, so, so, so, so much fun! Well I have to go and eat supper now! Blog ya all later! Bye

A walk Out side!

2009-10-25T17:36:00.000-07:00

Today was a really gorgeous day!

2009-10-24T11:35:00.000-07:00

Hey! I am finally blogging! This is Reuben! It was really funny how he was making a mad face in a silly way. When I saw him I tried to take a picture of him! Then he changed back to the same happy Reuben! I said, "Hey Reuben! Do that face again!" So he tried to do it again, but it was not the same. I still took a picture of him though. I thought that it still was a really funny face!

Apple picking! It was a Saturday morning and it was really nice out! I mean really nice! While we where all eating our breakfast Dad said, "We are going to pick apples!"We where like "Oh no!" Well just a day or two ago he had brought some really good apples home and they where gone in no time! They where really good! So when we got there we where in like heaven! They where really good and the best part was we could eat an apple anytime we wanted to!

Just a a little bucket of apples! All of them are gone in are stomachs! Yum, yum!

This is Amelia with her thum up! As you can see she was eating an apple and it looks like she was thinking, "This is the best apple I have ever eaten!"

Red Day!

2009-09-18T13:10:00.000-07:00

I guess this is the day that is going to be Very, Very red! I hope you feel in the mood for red too! I know I am! This was a my gramdma's house!

And this was at my house

At Grandma's

And at my house again!

2009-07-01T15:11:00.000-07:00

This is, or was, my cat, Precious! She was a great cat untll she started to eat my dad's chickens and then things really got bad! She just kept on eating the chickens and my dad just kept on getting more mad! When she ate $60.00 worth of chicks my dad had it with my cat! So he said "I'm going to kill that cat!" and I did not want that to happen! So I took Precious and put her in a cage to live, but everyone knows that you can't keep a cat in a cage! So my dad said, " Let that cat out and if it keeps on eating my chickens you might as well just say good-bye!"
So the end of my story I can't really say
All I really know is I've not seen her since that day
Now the good part of the story is she had three other kittens
and now I still have a memory of my "Precious cat" named Mittens!

2009-07-01T13:22:00.000-07:00

This is some fruite that Reuben made out of playdo! We had lots of playing with playdo that Katrina got for her birthday!

this is my house that I made! the little dog in the mittle is flipper I like him a lot!

Flipper!

2009-06-15T10:20:00.000-07:00

My Dad had to go and put in something in a state park I think it was a state park but I'm not shere! well we got there at like somewhere arown 3:00! and then we left at 5:00, but well we where there we went kiacking and the next day my arms where so sore! oh and all of these flowers are from the place! I do not know what this flower is but I think that it is prity!

My brother and I have called them huney sucklls becuse we would eat them and they tasted like huney!

I do not know what this flower is oh well!

guess what I do not know this flower too!

2009-06-13T19:19:00.000-07:00

This is a turtle that Annika and Kathirn found! They also found a baby skunk while they where roller-blading! It was so funny, Annika thought of an idea and what they did was they took the turtle and put it in the newspaper and then gave it to my grandma. A min. later she came running out of the office screaming! She was so shocked! That was a pretty funny story of the turtle!

The turtles back!

This was at the pond at my house the toad was so still so I got a good photo!

Finally the toad up on the 3rd photo jumped and swam away so I found this toad that you are looking at!

2009-04-11T09:07:00.000-07:00

This is at Grandma's and Grandpa's house! There was some cool moss so I thought that I would take a photo of it!

I thought that this acorn was cool too!

See how it is blurry in the front and back, but focuses on the middle?

2009-04-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

Hey there! Guess what! My Dad likes this cat, and that cat goes everywhere in the house. Well, the other day that cat got into my room and................... I will tell you that later. First I have to tell you the other things about my Dads cat! I like that cat a lot, but it is just sometimes a pain! For example, it was living in my dads shop outside, and inside the shop there was a bucket and in that bucket were some minnows! When a minnow would come to the top to get some air the cat would flick the minnow out with its paw in a second and then it would have a nice little snack! OK,now we can go on! The kids, Amelia on down, sometimes leave the door open, and my mom thinks that a mouse got into our house! Dad saw a mouse in the house and then Bombay saw the mouse and then Katrina saw the mouse, and so Dad brought that cat into the house to get that mouse out! In the process the cat that is now living in our house, went into my room and saw the fish that I got for Christmas and then this is what I think that the cat did! I think that she went up to the fish and then waited and then when the fish had to get some air, I think that she flicked it into the air and then ate my little fish! When I saw the water all over, I flipped over the bridge that was in the fish tank and my fish was not there! I looked on the floor as well, but I did not see my little fish. I have been missing my little fish a lot! I loved that fish a lot and I will try not to forget my little fish that I loved! That is my sad, sad, sad, story and it is so, so, true! I just wanted to tell this story about my little fish!

2009-03-20T09:52:00.000-07:00

I'm so sorry that I have not posted anything lately. I have been so busy! So sorry that I do not have any photos, either. Actually I have them but Ben, my brother, brought the laptop with him so I can't download my photos!

My friend and I think my rabbit is going to have baby bunnies! It is going to be so much fun!Here is a secret.... I might give one to my little sister, Amelia but do not tell her! She is going to have so much fun! Well, I have to go now and clean my room. Talk to you all later! Love, Becca Charity Sahlstrom

Foreign Exchange Siblings!

2008-12-03T14:30:00.000-08:00

This is Bombay and as you can tell he loves to have fun! He is from Thailand and is 18 years old. He loves music and is great at piano and art. I am glad that he gets to be my brother for this year, also!

This is Sabrina from France. She lived with us this summer, and we all loved her so much! She hopes to come and visit us again someday!

This is Mirentxu from Spain! She also lived with us this last summer and she was a blast! She loved Simeon and we all still say his name like she did. We hope to see her again someday. She also loved fishing as you can tell!

My Wonderful Family!

2008-12-03T14:10:00.000-08:00

This is the oldest boy in the family. He is so much fun when he does not have anyone over because he wants to be alone with his friends. I guess I know how he feels though. He likes his Zen(mp3 player) a lot, so some times Reuben calls Ben.......... Ben the Zen! So, Ben is 17 years old.

This is my Mom, Melissa, the best mom ever! When I'm hurt she cares for me and that is not all........ there are so many things about my Mom! She is 39 years old.

This is my Dad. My dad is so loving, caring and so much fun! He loves to fish and hunt, but if he had to choose I bet that he would pick fishing! We are building a fishing house and we are almost done with it!

2008-12-03T13:10:00.000-08:00

Reuben is 9 years old. He loves to go outside and make forts! he is so much fun!!!

This is me! I'm 11 years old. I love to play with the animals at my place.
My favorite color is lime green!

This is Charisma! Charisma is 13 years old. She is my roommate buddy and can be a lot of fun.

This is Annika, the oldest girl in the family. She is so much fun! But not so much fun when she makes us clean. God has blessed me so much with a sister like her!

2008-12-03T10:18:00.000-08:00

I am going to post pictures of each of my family members. Starting it off with Simeon!! He is the "baby" of the family right now. :) He turned 1 in September.

This is Erina, the active 3 year old. She can be a lot of fun.

This is Katrina. She is 5 yeasr old and loves to smile. :)

Amelia, Amelia, now what should I say about her. She is 7 years old and loves to compete with me, her older sister. We both take piano and she is quickly progressing. :) But, she still has a little ways to go before she catches up with me.
