Life

I know I haven't posted in awhile umm I don't really have any big news.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

All I can think of is that I made the A Honor Roll for school and I guess that's cool. For Thanksgiving Grandpa, Grandma, and Jeremy came up and we celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I'll try to post more often but I've said that before.

Hunting season

Hunting season started today!!

The dance.....

On Friday night was the high school Halloween dance. It was the second dance of the year but the first one that I went to.

Friday we had early out and Then I went over to Alysa K.'s house in Plummer, I stayed there till the football game at 6:00pm. WE got to the football game and it was snowing which really stunk because I hadn't dressed in winter clothes -thanks for lending me a coat and shoes Alysa-
I had came to her house in flip flops and a sweat shirt. Half an hour before the game was done we left to get ready for the dance, which started at 9:00pm. The dance was sooooo much fun I wish we could have a dance once a week or at least once a month. I got back from the dance at about 1:00am and went straight to bed.

On Saturday I woke up at 10:00am and remembered at 11:00am that I had to rush to get to Sammy W.'s birthday party. So I don't know if I have ever gotten my chores done and dressed in an hour. Although this morning I got up half an hour before my bus got here.

My first dance!!

I went to my first HS dance last night I don't have enough time to tell you about it only that it was really fun!!

Craft Sale

Yesterday was Oklee's Market day and I had a booth at the craft sale part. It went okay not quite as much business as I wanted but I was kinda in the corner out of sight. I'm planning on having a few more craft sales this fall so maybe I can earn some more money. This morning I am playing for church the organist is gone this weekend. And that's about all there really isn't mcuh new news.

Every thing happens at once.....

Sorry I know I haven't posted in a long time but School, Wednesday school, Sunday school and volleyball all started with in about one week of each other.

At school, I get on the bus at 7:07am and get to school at 8:00, then I have a 3ominute wait till school starts and someone said that the school computers you can only do school on......

After school most days I have volleyball practice or games, and when I skip that it's because I have something more important going on that I wouldn't be able to post on my blog during anyways.

This week was homecoming week at school it was a lot of fun and I dressed up for every day at school.

Monday- formal
Tuesday- cowboy/hick
Wednesday- PJ
Thursday- Black and white
Friday- Spirit

Last night was Nazareth fancy work sale and now today is, Catch up on every thing that you haven't had time for since school started.

Next Saturday is the Craft sale in Oklee and I'm going to have a both at it so any of you are welcome to come. I'll try to post on here more often once things settle down but I'm not going to make any promises.

School

Tuesday I started school. The schedules were very confusing but I think I have them figured out now. Right now I'm in FCS, English, Math, PE, Choir, and Current events. I'm really enjoying school, no rude comments from people who didn't want me to go to school please, Because I won't publish them. I'm not going to fail in life because I'm going to public school -sorry to those who don't know what I'm talking about I had several people tell me the school was going to ruin me-. 8th grade VB had a game last night and we won!! next game is in Bagley and it's on monday at 4:30 if any one wants to come. Today I have several choices of what I could do I'm not going to name them all because it would put you to sleep. I think that I've updated you on every thing that has happened in the last week.

I'm back

yes I'm back I've been back for a week I've just been really busy. I'm going to update you on what has happened but I'm not going into any details. In Washington my Aunt Rachel and Uncle nick got married and they had a nice wedding and reception that I got to sing karaoke with my cousins at which was a lot of fun. After the wedding we went to Grandma E.s house and then from there we went to Grandma A.s house. When we finally got home grandpa and grandma A. came to our house to pick up Jeremy and all his stuff. On Monday the 31st we got all our cleaning and unpacking from vacation done. Then Tuesday I joined the Oklee volleyball team. On Wednesday I had VB practice in the morning I had to baby sit for mom in thee after noon and in the evening mom and I had to run into oklee for a meeting/open house thing with the school. Thursday I went school shopping and Friday had VB practice again by yesterday I slept the whole day, well not quite. And now it's today and I'm finally getting a chance to post.

Seeing Obama

On the second day of our vacation we were traveling from Billings, Montana to Ontario, Oragan. In Billings we stayed with some friends of dads and we found out from them that Presidant obama was doing some kind of speech in one of the towns that we were going through that day. And we also had heard that he was going to be in Yellowstone national park on saturday after the speech. There was a lot of constuction from billings to yellowstone and we had to stop for it many times. We were going a little slow compared to what the speed limit was because Sophie gets car sick on windy mountain roads. Mom would pull over occasionally so taht cars could pass us cause mom didn't want to hold up the traffic. One of the times mom was about to pull over we saw some flashing lights behind us. Mom pulled over quickly and let 2 police and 8-9 black bullit prof cars go racing past us. Mom told us that it may not have been the presidant but I knew it was becaause who else would it be? Later we found out that in West Yellowstone they had to hold up the traffic for an hour because it was the Presidant. That's our most exciting thing that has happend to me so far on vacation.

We will be getting back from vacation on the 27 I think.

1 day wow

Nothing much has happened on vacation. there is just one thing I would like to tell ya'll on Thursday we slowed down the President of the USA I'm not sharing any details yet -because the keyboard that I'm using stinks- I only wanted to brag that I had been ten yards away from the prez.

Washington summer 2009

Summer vacation is finally here!! We're leaving tomorrow at 5:00am and going to Washington and we will be stopping at a few places on the way. I'm in a hurry or I would make this post longer but Good night everybody and see you when we get back (or sometime). Oh and we will be getting back sometime in the next few weeks (we do have a exact date set for getting back but this way if I don't post right when I get back you won't know).

VOTE!!!

OKAY only one more day left for the school poll if you haven't voted yet then vote I'm really curious about the results cause right now we have a tie some one be a tie breaker. Results will not change my decision about school.

Summer??

Many of the people who read my blog are from MN if you are then you know that the summers here aren't really summer at all. this summer has been especially cold. Today is the hottest day of the week and it's only 77F. so it's really cold.

Even with all the cold weather we still have strawberries, raspberries, and rhubarb well right now it's raspberry season and we don't have very many raspberry bushes but we get LOTS of raspberries and today Elsie and I went out to pick raspberries and we got I think about 1 gal. and we left about half the berries still out there. I think mom's going to make us go out again later today but I'm not sure. If any one who reads my blog and lives close to us wants raspberries just let me know.

This week we are getting ready all Jeremy's clothes to bring down to grandma's house when some of us are going to a wedding in Morris on Friday.

Next week Wednesday I think is when we are leaving on vacation and so I don't know if I will be able to post on my blog at all till after vacation.

Also some other news, I might go to public school this year I've been home schooled all my life but I kind of want to do my high school years at a public school instead of at home. Plus mom said that if I go to school that I might be able to be in volleyball to and I've always wanted to be in volleyball.

I know the post tittle only has to do with one paragraph but I wanted to think of a tittle that I hadn't used yet. And I know I have lots of run on sentences well to bad for anyone who cares cause I'm not changing it, HAHA.

LYA

LYA is Lutheran Youth Association, Is confirmed-graduated Matt and Jeremy went this year and I will go next year. It's one weekend long but since it is in WA this year the bus left Tuesday and is getting back Monday so it's almost a whole week. All the youth from our synod or their friends who are the right age can go. At the LYA convention they do many different things like bible study, rock climbing, ect. but also there are counselors and pastors to keep people out of trouble. I don't know many details but I do know that I can't wait to go next year.

LYA convention

Matt and Jeremy are going to LYA today its in Washington this year so they'll have fun seeing the beautiful state of Washington. I must say I envy them for being able to go to Washington I can't go to LYA till I'm confirmed so next year I'll be able to go hopefully.

Fair again this year...

This year I went to the Pennington county fair with Whitney N. and I bought a day pass so I could get on all the rides that I wanted as many times as I wanted. Here's some some of the rides that I went on.

Ring of Fire I found a good picture of this ride at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/21684795@N05/2809491846/

Power Tower, it was so freaky they bring you up 40ft and then drop you down fast then the ride slows down right before the bottom so you don't get brain damage.

Hi Roller, a very fun ride but I couldn't find any good pictures of it.

Zero Gravity, a fun ride and I found a picture:
http://www.elburnlions.com/RIDE-ZERO%20GRAVITY.jpg

There were lot's of other rides but I can't remember all the names for them but I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I could go (even though I spent $50 at the fair counting my ride pass).

Life, I know I need to get some more ideas for post titles

So Where did I leave off last post...........Oh the wedding.

On Saturday I had to waitress for a wedding and that went till 7:30 or so and then I went to babysit two cute little boys oh and for Larissa (the mom of the two kids who I think reads my blog), Noah has a really funny pout face his lip goes out half an inch. I got back babysitting around 1:00am and went strait to bed.

In the morning dad woke me up at 6:00 and I went to church at St. Petri because I needed to go to help out at an auction Sunday at 9:45 and Oak Park service isn't till 11:00. At the auction I was helping Hannah E. with her lemonade stand. I got back from the auction around 7:00pm and made myself supper 'cause mom and dad and the rest of the kids were at a anniversary party. After supper I went to bed but I think I IMed some of my friends for awhile before bed, so I guess if I was tired it was my fault.

Okay and for Bible camp....

I don't know how long I will be able to work on my blog for because I have a wedding i need to go to later and I still need to get ready.

At camp I got there being kind of disappointed cause I wasn't in the cabin I wanted to be in.

I had lots of fun at camp but I don't remember much from each day but I will tell you the things that are either interesting, funny, or dumb.

Sunday night I had to go to the hospital because a girl from my cabin had either sprained really bad or broken her foot, we got back from that at about 1:00am and didn't get to bed till about 2:30am.

Monday I don't think that there was anything very interesting that happened on Monday.

Tuesday same as Monday life, life, and more just life at camp.

Wednesday, I went horse back riding and the horse I was riding sat down in the middle of the water cause it got hot and it started to roll around (with me on it) I had to jump of really quick into 2ft deep mud/water though I really didn't mind getting wet and dirty. Also on Wednesday it was skit night but that's about all.

Thursday, was the summer Olympics at camp and we did stuff like relay races and belly flops. Then at night we had the banquet which took a lot of time to get ready for. After the banquet was the moonlight walk.

Friday was packing and leaving day. Goooood-bye.

Today there is a wedding that I'm a waitress for and then I'm baby sitting till probably midnight or later.

I'll write more later but I don't know when cause it's summer.

BIBLE CAMP IS DONE ALREADY!?!?!?!?!

Today I got back from Bible camp, and I don't have time to post much about what happened because I stayed up till 4:00am last night and then I had to get up this morning at about 7:30. So I'm really tired. I guess my body isn't used to living off 3 and a half hours of sleep.
This is of Elsie's arm after we got back I guess she wanted every one to sign her arm in big black permanent markers, when we got home mom said it's coming off before she goes any where.

This is of my friend Allison and Me, The yellowish green thing in my mouth is a hand full of chewed up skittles.

This picture is of Hesston-the guy who I went on the moonlight walk with- and Me I didn't know whether I should put it on my blog cause I knew I would get some rude comments from certain people but Hesston and I are just friends

This pic is from this skit night it is Elsie's cabin's beautiful make up job.

On the 4th....

Today as you probably all know is the 4th of July so happy 4th every one. This morning we celebrated it by going to a parade which was fun.

This afternoon Elsie and I finished packing for camp which is tomorrow we started yesterday which I would have liked to start sooner but I went shopping Thursday night and I needed to wait till after shopping to finish packing.

Thursday, the Jacobsens left and then in the afternoon the family went to Bemidji and had a picnic with some of dad and moms old friends that they hadn't seen for like 13 years. They have a daughter who is my age and she and I got along pretty good even though we are complete opposites. After the picnic we went shopping and Noelle-mom's friend's daughter- and I got a manicure. Mom's friend has a blog at larsonquest.blogspot.com.

the 4th

HAPPY FORTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

sooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy

Sorry I haven't posted in so long I'm not even going to try to update you in what all has happened, I'll tell you some of the things that have happened though.

On Thursday, we went to the Oklee fair and entered our stuff, then when we got home we rushed to get ready for grandparents who were coming. When g-pa and g-ma came then we visited with then for awhile then went to bed.

On Friday, we went to the fair with grandparents and then I entered my cookies in the cookie contest. after awhile I went over to Stephanie's house and I stayed there till 6:00 when Steph and I went back to the fair and we hung out there till the talent show which we went to. Then mom came to pick me up after that.

On Saturday, we went to the fair. And stayed there all day.

Sunday we got ready for Jacobsens to come.

Monday Jacobsens came.

Tuesday I got up and did a blog post.

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I got first on the cookie contest and so I won $20.

I probably wont be updating much in the next few weeks because we will be really busy.

Relay for life

Life

The last week or so I haven't been doing much blogging so I'll try to do a really quick catch up on what has happened.

We left for grandparent's house on Saturday and we were heading to Amber's graduation on the way to grandma's house. Half way to Amber's out in the middle of no where we got a flat tire and we were literally out in the middle of no where we didn't know any one within a 60 mile area. Oh and plus we had no spare. So mom and Matt hiked to the nearest farm house no one was home so they went to the next one and guess what no one was home there either so finally at the third house there was some one home so he helped us change the tire get a new one and then we were on our way again but it wasn't till the graduation party was already done. So we went to Amber's house to visit with her for a little while even though the party was over. After that we went to our great grandparents house to talk to them for a little bit.

This picture is of Elsie and Aunt Nyla at great grandma's house.
This is of the Abrahamson kids every one except Jeremy who wasn't with us at the time.
After we left great grandparents then we got to grandparent's house and by that time it was bedtime so we went strait to bed.

When we got up Sunday morning we got ready for church and left for that at 8:20 and left from church to go see some family friends who lived two hours away this picture is of their family and ours.

This is a part of the last picture but is was pretty cute so I cut it out. It's of Stella A. and Faith J.
This picture is from our friends house to it's just of kids playing in the sand box
And this is a picture of my friend Kara and me.
When we left the our friends house we went to grandma's then left from there Monday and headed home.

Leaving

As some of you already know my brother Jeremy goes to school down at a school by my grandparents house. Well now school's out it's time to pick him up so some of my family is going -me included- to pick up my brother so that's all but I won't be on for a few days so that's why.

skunks stink

Short post we had the skunk come back and it sprayed our garage and cats and stuff that's all.

Busy and sick

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days I've been really busy and sick. Yesterday I woke up in the morning with a really sore throat and then....... I don't know I worked on stuff. In the afternoon I made a really good gluten free bread. At bedtime Matt saw a skunk outside eating the cat food for our cats. I woke up this morning and made breakfast it was cornmeal mush and my reason for making that was because my throat hurt to much to eat anything else. I rested most of the morning but I also worked on my new blog it's a blog about gluten free stuff. Now My throat is still sore but I feel a lot better and hopefully I get even better..... quick. Well I should go now.

New template

I got a new template!! If you don't like it or like it vote at the side of the page to let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Last few days

The last few days I have been really busy I went over to Tami S.'s house and helped clean it up for Davids graduation. Then spent the night at Whitney N.'s house (which was really fun but I had left my camera at home so no pictures) Brooke N. brought me back to TRF and we met with my parents who brought me home. Then this morning Elsie is going shopping with Holly V. so hopefully she'll have fun. Well sorry it's such a short post more later -maybe-.

Winkel

Today is winkel it is being held at Lengby and I had/have no interist in going because the girls who I hang out with aren't planning to be there ao instead I went over to Alyssa's house and I'm there right now messin' around with Kjerstin.

Alyssa's News

I wasn't going to post about this till I new it was public but Alyssa N. is having twins!! read her blog at http://deerparknelsonacres.blogspot.com/ and more later.

wow I rock!!!

Okay, look at the quiz on the side of the page I'm not a very good Pastor's daughter. That's all I have to say for now.

I'm a good liar

Sorry to all my readers who felt bad for me but I lied. Well not really I never said what had happened I just put up a picture of me on crutches and a skate board but I knew it looked bad so anyways sorry. I think Madeline saw through my plan and so that's why she commented on my flip-flops. And Iraina is a sweet charming little snot who I told about my stupid little joke and she couldn't resist being herself. I'm just kidding about the snot part though. Stephanie my awesome friend who cares about me was the one deceived so I'm sorry Steph. Oh and the crutches I got at a thrift store mwahhahahahaha. Well I should go now I'm chatting with Iraina and being really bad at replying to her right away so more later.

Mothers day

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!!!

FAS

First off I'm going to warn you. Never plan to be outside for a whole day with only a sweat shirt and a thin jacket on a day that is supposed to be highs in the mid 40s I did that today and it was snowing while I was there. The whole FAS thing was fun but parts were a little boring -which made me feel more grateful for the people who volunteer there time every year. I met a girl about my age and helped out with the archery range. They also had clay pigeons, 22pistols, 22rifles and muzzle loaders. After lunch we cleaned guns and then left. Oh and sorry I didn't get any pictures.

FAS field day

To -as heading of post says- is the Fire Arm Safety Field day. This year I'm going along to help with the archery range. Elsie is taking FAS this year and dad is one of the teachers. So I'll be gone most of the day but when I get back I'll post some pictures.

New thing!!

Okay I added a contact me thing on the bottom of the page but the thing about it is I couldn't get it to change the name from "contact us" to "contact me". The emails you send me will not be posted on the blog it's just so you can have a way of contacting me if you want. Your emails will not be shared.

My Recital piece

I think dad must have forgotten to put the name of my recital piece on his blog but anyways, the name of my piece is "Autumn Glow". And thanks for the comment L.B.(I think) it took mom and me a few minutes to figure out who you were.

My bad

You can make fun of me but pictures say all.
One of my Birthday presents that I just received from a friend.

One week

Please comment.

End of Wednesday School

Today we had the last day of Wednesday school so on that day we usually have a picnic this year Alison B. put that together so thank you Alison. This year we had BBQ and chips also there was some other stuff but if I put every little thing that we had on this blog then there wouldn't be enough time for me to write other things too. After supper we played soccer, football, and did double dutch with only one rope so I guess that's called jump roping. But thank you Alison for everything.

Yay me!!

I was right!! There were 4 kittens if you don't know what I'm talking about then you'll have to read my last post.

Kittens

Today Clara ran inside and was like jumping up and down shouting Kally -our cat- is laying on her back meowing really loud. So we were all like Clara settle down and then we told her that as soon as chores were done that she could go out to check on Kally. when chores were done Clara, Elsie and I got our flip-flops on and headed out to check on her. when we got to the door and looked out and Kally was laying on her side with one leg in the air and she screamed-I don't know if any of you have heard a cat scream but it's a really weird sound(Meeee-rrroooww)- and then she had one kitten we're betting on how many she's going to have here are what we've got for who thinks what,

Clara's Guess 7
Elsie's Guess 5
Louisa's Guess 4
Dad's guess 6

She's only had one so far but Clara's pacing with anticipation...............

Sunday May 3rd(Written May 4th)

Yesterday we had Jake's confirmation at nine forty-five at Oak Park congratulations, Jake. Then at three or so we headed over to the Berniers for the open house. While we were there Trisha fixed my hair and makeup for the recital that night. At about ten to six for our recital, the recital was fun except for the recital part. But I did enjoy seeing my friends and I guess the food was good too. I'm going to post again in like ten minutes but that will be todays post so I want a different name for it.

Long Time No Post

Sorry, long time no post but I've been busy working on finishing school for the year being home schooled I have that advantage I'm planning on finishing next week Friday. Then I won't have any more school till......like.....September or something like that. I've forgotten what all I've put on here did I post about the Circuit meeting?? I think I did. This Sunday we'll be busy we have Jake Berniers confirmation and open house till like four and then my piano recital at six. I think that's about all to tell about right now but if I think of something else I'll let you know.

Circuit Meeting

Yesterday was the circuit meeting and it was at River Hights Lutheran in East Grand Forks. There was a speech on India and that was very interesting. Also Maren, Madelynn, and Marissa T. were there so that was a lot of fun seeing them again. On the way back home from the meeting it was raining and getting cold at the same time so theee roads were really slick, but we made it home. Today we haven't had anything exciting happen that I know about so I guess that's all I have to say for today.

Another quiz

I should try to think of another quiz........

Okay I think I got one.

Do I listen to talk radio?? Yes?? or No?? My family and Madeline can't answer. Because I know that they would know the answer.

I Went to a Tea Party

Today there was a Tea Party in TRF and I had to go. At the Tea Party there were lots of signs like,

hmmm...... what were the good ones??? I guess you wouldn't know but I guess I forgot them sorry. There was a lot of speeches at the Tea Party oh yea and now I remember one of the signs. It was the one the Solveig S. held -and by the way she had a Johny Cash shirt on- it said less government more cash. That one was pretty funny and there were a lot more but I have forgotten what they said.

Month April Winkel

April winkel we had in Ulen yesterday and it was nice and warm outside. The Thompson girls came and they also brought Annie B. with them so that was fun to see all of them again. At Pr. Dales house is where the familys stayed and then they have a playground near there house and so we went down to the playground to play for awhile. Also they have a trampoline so we all jumped on that for a bit and some of the girls ate dinner on it. So I think everyone had fun and a big thanks to the Dales for having everyone!!

Results

The Results for my question last night is I have 2 votes for me to do more riddles and 0 votes for me to stop the riddles. So I think what I'll do is I will put up some riddles but I won't do riddles every post. I don't think that there is really any news for my family we haven't had anything very exciting happen around here. But I have to be going now if I think of any thing else I'll post more.

Question for you

I have a question. Do you want me to do more quizzes or not? I don't want to do so many it gets annoying so please let me know. Thank you!!

More Quizzes

Good Job Stephanie on the last quiz!!! I hope these ones are a little harder.

Quizzes

Who at the age of six years old, was discovered while singing at a barber shop and was referred to a professional show business manager?(Maddi you can't answer this one)

And....

Who said "I can see Russia from my house"?

Today, Saturday, I like Saturday you don't have to do school or any thing on Saturday. I don't have any pictures from vacation yet but dad does on his blog. I slept in this morning but not very long (sadly). Another quiz (because that last one was so easy)

Who acts in "Twilight" and "Cheaper by the dozen", And also He was soon invited to train with seven-time world karate champion Mike
Chat.

That one I hope will be a little more hard. Oh yeah and Iraina you can't guess, Ha!! Ha!!

If no one can guess it I'll tell you but try to guess it.

Today I really don't have any thing to talk about. If any one around the Oklee MN area has the 3rd twilight book can I borrow it? It's taking to long at the library. I have about two weeks of school left this year (one of the advantages of being home-schooled is you can finish your school quick). I should think of a quiz for my blog. Umm....

Thinking.....

ok I got one but it's really easy it is a line from a song and you have to guess which song.

"I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night"

If you google it you'll probably find it. And I guess that's all for now.

Easter vacation post 3

Wednesday!!!

Today wasn't as exciting and so I don't really have much to tell we got up packed are stuff up and left. Then we went to Park Rapids and dad went to several gun stores and then we ate lunch at a restaurant and then went to Bemidji and went to some more gun stores and then left town and went home.

I know that was a really long sentence but oh well.

Easter vacation post 2

Tuesday!!!

WE got up and ate pancakes for breakfast then played video games for awhile and went to the game room and I played this awesome hunting game and wasted a bunch of money on the games there.

Then after lunch mom and I went on a 2 mile walk up and down hills and we found this steep sand hill that after we got back then Elsie came with me and we climbed it. I have lots of pictures from the vacation but I don't have time to put them on right now.

After supper we watched a movie and had a campfire then went to bed.

Oh yeah and one more thing we did is at 10:00pm when we were "in bed" Elsie and I went to mom and dad's room and short-sheeted them it was funny.

Easter vacation post 1

Monday when I got up on Monday morning it was busy around my house grandma and grandpa were leaving and we were getting ready to leave for our vacation. After the grandparents left we packed our clothes and food for three days and then left.

It takes an hour and a half to get to the resort we went too and it's called "Rainbow Resort". With 11 people in the car that feels like forever there's a constant "how long till we get there mom??" or "mom John's pinching me tell him to stop". So Elsie and I told them when we were about 10min. away that we were "getting close and we only had 2 hours left" it was hilarious. The lake that the resort is on is called "Elbow Lake" so any lake we past on the way there we made up a name for and I think I remember all the funny names the funniest ones were....
Hot Heel Lake,
Fat Forehead,
Tingly Tongue.
and
Shiny shin.
We had a lot more names but they weren't as fun.

Anyways we got there and if I put much more on this post my hand will get sore from typing.

blogging again

I'm going to put some posts up about our Easter vacation and I'll do them in order of the days.

Bored

I decided to post again because I am bored so this is going to be a boring post. No one would ever guess that some one with 9 siblings 7 of them younger would be bored but I am.

Later today we will be leaving to an unknown place. If you want to contact me you will have to email me. If you don't have my email then you don't know me very well anyways so I wouldn't want you emailing me. Ha! Ha! well I guess that's all for now.

Easter afternoon

After lunch Matt, Elsie Clara and I played "horseopoly" a board game ripoff of monopoly. After mom and grandma got all the easter eggs hidden and we had an easter egg hunt. I'm going to save all my candy for on our vacation. Oh yeah and after church this morning we did a family picture.

This is our Easter 2009 family picture.
Back row: Louisa, Jeremy, Matt
Middle:Inge, Donna, Sophie
Front: Clara, John, Sophie, Elsie

And I'm not sure how this picture came about, but it's funny so anyways it's Jeremy, Grandpa and matt.

EASTER

EASTER is finally here. So a Happy Easter to you!!

Outside

It's A beautiful day outside I hope it stays nice like this till December this year. A while ago I went out to do some archery and that was fun my record is 18 yards away I have about a 2ft spread with the arrows and that is with the little 15 lb bow. I'm hoping to go deer hunting this year using the bow that dad gave me for my birthday that one is a 50 lb bow.

This picture is of me shooting the little compound bow.
This one is of Elsie.
This one is of Clara.
This is of me shooting Matt's 30-30. Oh yeah and dad told me to mention that I blew up the milk jug on my first try.

template trouble

I found a new template that I like but I'm having trouble loading it. Maybe I'll have time to ask dad about how to upload it but I will just have to see when he has time to help.

TODAY (I know dumb name for a post)

I think I will give up on ever having time to get a video on here because my computer time is limited. Grandma and Grandpa got here yesterday along with Jeremy and mom and I went into town yesterday as was planned. Today I'm going to try top chance my blog a little bit to try to make it more fun for readers. and I think that's all Happy Easter to everyone.

Easter Vacation

One again we are going to have a After Easter Vacation.

Good things about it: we will have a game room all to our selves(we're the only ones who will be at the resort)
Bad things about it: WE will only be staying about 3 days.

Try to guess where we are going and if you can guess it you don't get a prize. Ha!! Ha!!

Happy Good Friday to everybody!! I'm not sure if that's what to say on Good Friday but it works. Later today Grandma and Grandpa are coming. And this morning mom and I have to run into town to get some stuff. I haven't been posting on my blog much lately because we have been very busy, so sorry and I'll try to post more often.

NO video (yet)

Still no video. This morning I got up and remembered I was going to meet my god sister on IM. Then when I got on the computer the internet wouldn't work. So dad fixed it for me and I shot Matt's 30-30. Now my shoulder hurts well my god sis is keeps telling me to publish this post so more later.

Quick post

Some time maybe I'll become a genius but until then I guess you'll have to put up with my being dumb. I suppose I will explain that comment. A few minutes ago I came downstairs and tried to put some pictures together into a video. Anyways I guess I should plan next time I try that to have 3 hours time on my hands. Because now it's time for me to get off the computer and I still haven't even started the video. I'm working on gathering pictures right now. Maybe next post there will be a video and maybe not it just depends on how much time I have to sit in front of this junk box. Well now it is time to go and I will post more later.

pictures from sleepover

Here's some pictures from the sleepover at Amanda's house

WE STAYED UP TILL 3:00am last night and I'm really hyper!!! I will put up pictures from the sleepover in a little bit. We have watched a lot of movies and eaten lots of popcorn. Today I will be leaving Amanda's house when ever I feel like it. But it has been a really fun sleepover. Right now Olivia is talking to me right now, she wants us to go out side and now she wants to type her name. hmmmm.......

OLIVIA DPdp

Good job Olivia!! and she also wanted to type DPdp after it I guess.

Well I should go when the pictures load I will upload them.

Sleepover

Today/tonight I'm at my friend Amanda P.'s house, it's her birthday. We are having fun Amanda has two other friends over. Anya, and Milla are the friends and we are up at like 11:30 watching Cheaper By The Dozen 2. So far I'm having a lot of fun but I should probably get to sleep soon. Earlier today there were two other girls over um their names were Emalynn and Marquelle D. Well maybe tomorrow I will post again.

Competition

My friend Maddi and I are having a little competition this month we're seeing who can get the most blog posts done in April so we'll see how that goes. Good luck Maddi!! Her blog at http://throughtheeyesofatweenager.blogspot.com/

Bible Camp 2009

Bible Camp this year is going to be July 5th-10th. At bible camp the days are filled with volleyball bible studies, and this year they will even have horseback riding. If you would like the forms or just would like to find out more about it you can email me. If you don't have my email just comment on this post and include your email, I will not publish the comment if you don't want me to.

Twilight post two

Ok, I'm going to do another post about "Twilight" because when mom and dad read my last one they started laughing and said I should say more about the book not who should read it. So anyways. Twilight is a good book. The author could have done somethings in it better but for the most part I enjoyed it. It is to romantic in some parts and so I just kind of skiped over those parts, 'cause Idon't really enjoy reading stuff like, "Oh I love you......" but other than the romance the book had a pretty good plot and stuff. I would deffanitly suggest reading it before you let your kid read it but that's your own choice. If any of you guys have seen the movie would you email me or comment to tell me about it? Thanks!!

Template Change

Ok, Second post of the day I was bored and a little sick of pink so I decided to change my template. And here's what I came up with. I know this is a really short post, but oh well.

Twilight

I've been wanting to read the Twilight books but mom wanted to read them first to see what she thought of them. So she read the first one and then couldn't decide so she had dad read them and anyways they decided to let me read them. I enjoyed the first one but would not suggest them to kids under 13. I know I just turned 13 but it still counts.

I can't wait till school ends. Peggy Miller has a tentative piano recital scheduled for the 3rd of May. I am very bored and am scheduled to end school the first week in May if I get all my homework done.

Oh yeah and one more thing I think summer is finally coming!!! We had a snow storm yesterday but it wasn't but and it's getting warm finally. Well I guess that's all for today if I think of anything else that's worth while I will let you know.

Bowling With LYS #2

Oh my goodness I am so mad at myself because when I uploaded my pictures on here the first time the lighting was really bad on them so I have to take them all off again and start over so here's some more pictures. Actually I'm not going to put any more on here. But let me think.... I got my bible camp form today so I filled them out that was fun thinking about what camp will be like this year. Oh yea and Stephanie I really think that you should come to camp. Flooding I think is down, let me check on that..... yay it's down to 38 feet it's highest level was 40.62 feet. you can see more about the flood here. Well Matt is bugging me to get on the computer so I'll post more later.

Bowling With LYS

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days. Yesterday the church youth group went bowling and then we went to Dairy Queen for a quick meeting. Laura V. took pictures for me and when she first got my camera it was on video so I have I video of Briley S. getting a gutter ball. Ha! Ha!

This picture is of Whitney N. Bowling.


I have A bunch more pictures but i don't know if I want to take the time to upload them.



Thinking......





OK I guess I will put some more pictures up.





Waiting for them to load........




That one is also of Whitney. I will out more up later.

FLOOD WARNING!!!

We have some major floods going on at some places near Oklee, Fargo is like 2 hours away. There is also a lot of flooding in Grand Forks but I don't have pictures of that. These pictures are from Fargo.



This one is how high the flood was at 5:00pm yesterday. Right now its at 40ft.
Mom and I were hoping to go to Grand Forks this next week but we probably won't. You can probably guess why not. Ha!! Ha!! Well more later.

Pizza Kits

My youth Group sold pizza kits for a fund raiser and they to delivered this morning. The kits were supposed to arrive at noon today but for some reason they got here at 10:00 and one of the advantages of being a home schooler is I get to sleep in I got up like 15 minutes before the river dropped them off. He called dad to get directions to our house when he was about ten minuets away and so I called Barb C. and told her that the kits were almost here. Barb drove over here and now we have the pizza kits so those of you who ordered we will be getting you your kits. Oh ya one more thing our Youth Group sold 70 kits. For pictures of the kits click here.

Busy

Today we have been very busy. Mom let us sleep in and that was great, but it also ment a late start. There isn't much exciting going on that I can think of. We got up ate breakfast and did chores and school. One of the advanteges of pulling a muscul is that mom doesn't make me do as much work. Then this afternoon mom and I went into town to take down the signs for a fund raiser that our youth group had been doing and after that we went over to our friends house to pick up our azure standard order that gets delivered to thier house. Well I should be going so more later.

Going to State!!!

Yay!! The RLCC girls Basketball team is going to state!! And they will win!! Because they rock!! Well at least hopefully they will. Today my neck feels much better, and I hope it will keep getting better. I'm in the middle of making rice pudding for breakfast, so I better check it to make sure it's not burning. All the little kids are still sleeping (that's good). And I really have nothing more to say, so today it's a short post. Maybe if there is more news later I will come on and do another post.

Ouch

Today has been kind of boring around the Abrahamson household. Earlier I as downstairs and I stood up and popped my neck you know cu-runch. And there was a weird noise then this sudden pain all down the left side of my body. I could hardly move. About 15 minutes later I decided it hurt bad enough I should probably tell mom about it. So I hobbled upstairs slowly the pain was still there. Mom called dad and dad came up to the house right away. And he felt my neck and apparently I stretched a muscle in my neck. And it still hurts really bad. So I can't really do anything right now except sit because it hurts so bad. But anyways besides that nothing happened today, at least not that I know about. But I should go get ready for Catechism class.

Winkel

Today we had Winkel at our house. Winkel is a meeting where all the pastors in our synod who have churches near here get together and sometimes the pastors kids come with if they are home schooled. Anyways some of the girls who usually come were sick today so they couldn't come and we missed them but Marissa T. and I got along pretty well today and we had fun.



Marissa and I were doing our makeup really crazy and we dyed our hair with like some wash out stuff. I'm not sure what we were supposed to be but we had fun and that's the important part.

Also after dinner we got the big box that our new stove came in and used it for sliding off a little cliff of snow we have in our yard and into a big puddle of water it was so much fun. Until we got this awesome idea we started going head first off the cliff of snow and that kind of knocked the air out of me.

At my Grandparents house

Now about the trip to grandma's house. On Thursday afternoon around 3:00pm we left for grandma's house. First we had to go to the library in Red Lake Falls to pick up some books and stuff. We left the library at 5:00pm and started the five hour ride to grandma's. We got there around 11:00pm and went to bed right away. When we woke up the next morning we found out that our great grandparents were going to stop by and see us at noon, and we had a nice visit with them. Then around 5:30pm we got to the carnival and saw some friends, played games, and ate food. We got back to grandma's around 8:00pm and then left the next day around noon. I have a video to put up ffrom our stay but I have to ask dad about how to upload them. Well thanks for having us at your house Grandpa and Grandma it was good seeing you.

Carnival

Ok I have a few more pictures from grandma's house but I'm in a rush so I can't put them up right now this picture is of the R I got painted on my face the reason it's an R is for the E.C.H.O Rockets. They didn't do paw prints this year so I got an R instead.













This picture is of after I tried to wash off the R and it kind of smeared a little and so I helpd it smear some more. Ha Ha!! mom needs my help now and I will tell you more about our trip in a couple hours.

Leaving

Finally we are getting ready to go to grandma's house and I don't know if I will be able to post, it just depends. Because I will be at grandpa's house and I don't know if grandpa will let me use his computer. I should be back by Sunday oh yea and Trisha I'm going to get my face painted again with Prowler paw prints. Sorry to the rest of you who don't know what I'm talking about. Well I should be going to help mom get stuff ready to go so talk to you later.

Winter Storm Results

Well here are the results from the storm yesterday. This picture is of Elise and Sophie they are standing on the drift by our swing set.












This picture is Elsie standing in the drift and the cliff thing behind her is like six feet tall. Way to much snow. Right away this morning Kyle came and plowed the parking lot. And then this afternoon mom went into town to get some stuff.












And this picture is out the dinning room window in my house.

Blizzard

OK, this is just going to be a quick post. Anyways, Stephanie we should definitely get together. To the people who asked, yes, I made the hats that Donna and Stella have on in the picture. I have a business making hats for people and -believe it or not- people actually pay money for them. Well let me see what else has been going on, well northern Minnesota is in the middle of a snow storm it's a big blizzard; and it feels like I'm never going to be able to dig my way out of my house. Ha Ha so maybe it's not quite that bad but still it's a bad storm. On Thursday My family and I are going down to my brother Jeremy's school to a carnival, and that will be FUN. So I can't wait till then. Before anyone asks where Jeremy goes to school I'm going to put a link up, and this is where he goes. http://www.echocharter.com/ So if you want to know where he goes there's the web address. Well got to go for now, and I'll try to get on later today.

Busy

Today has been very busy. I got up at 8:45 and mom was the only person up she had Elsie and Me make muffins for breakfast and they were very dry for some unknown reason. Then by the time we were done with cleaning up from breakfast it was late like 10:30 or something like that. So us kids got right to school and for those of you who don't know mom home schools all of us kids except Jeremy, my oldest brother. Well now at 2:45 we haven't even eaten lunch. Oh well dad's working on that right now, And it smells delicious. Any ways I'm finally putting pictures on here from my birthday.













The above picture isn't from my birthday but it's so cute I could not resist putting it up.


This one isn't from my birthday either but it was from when Elsie put to much soap in the dishwasher and it kind of got all over the floor and stuff.

This one is from my birthday it's
Donna and Stella
with some hats that I made
and it was pretty cute.

And yeah I know there aren't any pictures of me well I don't look good in pictures,
so I don't like the ones of me.

Today (Sunday)

Today, is Sunday. So I got up very tired, and I went to church, and with the time change I missed an hour of needed sleep, but caught up on that during church, just kidding dad. Then my friend Holly called and she invited Elsie, Clara, and Me over, so that was fun. While we were at Holly's house we played out side for along time and Alan, Holly's dad, pulled us on sleds, it was so much fun Holly so thanks for having us over. Earlier today our stove kind of busted so mom and dad were in town looking for a new one and I think that they found a nice one. Well that is about all I think.

After my Birthday

Ok, let me think for a minute.....

Last night I opened my presents for my birthday and I got a volleyball!! Plus a lot of other things which I liked. This morning Elsie, Clara, Sophie, and I went outside and played volleyball it was fun but now my arms hurt. And it made me miss bible camp. Well I think thats all that I have to say for now, it's not to exciting today.

Dad was showing me how to upload images on here and this is the one we picked so anyways this is Inge's 2 month photo.

Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and since we were to busy to celebrate then, today is when I get my party. Um let me think yesterday I had piano lessons and I passed all the songs, so anyways dad let me get a blog and here's my first post!! well tonight I will open my presents, and have a birthday dinner. I will try to get some pictures up soon. Well that's all I can write for now because Donna is sitting on my lap and making it difficult to type any more.
