Extreme Makeover: Home Edition!

So, Chuck got his 5 minutes of fame! He was on Extreme Makeover:Home Edition on Sunday night 3/29/09. His firestation sponsored the Almquist family. You have to go through me to get an autograph, and as of right now, he is booked until July with photo shoots.

School.

Okay, so I passed my first test of NP3. I originally got an 88, but my teacher threw away 2 questions, making my grade a 90 on the test!! Im pretty excited. The test was on Neurology, which actually interested me a lot. My next test is tomorrow 3/25/09, and this one is on Orthopedics. Wish me luck!!

The fireman museum.

Chuck trying to pump the water. This is how they used to do it back in the day. He was there quite a while before he figured out that it was a museum, and so therefore, there wasn't going to be any water return. Its okay, Chuck!

This was the staircase to get up to the barracks where the guys would relax and sleep. An old "wives tale" of the staircase, is that they made them twirl around because back when they had horses, the horses were not able to go up the staircase. But who knows.

This is an old water tank holder thing, I forgot what it is called. But the horses would have to pull this to a fire and this is what they used for water. I think they would have to pump it up first to get the water going and then they could use it. Not what I would want to used today, thats for sure!

This is a "ladder" truck. The fireman sits at the back of the truck (to the left of the picture) and steers the opposite way the driver does to be able to coordinate a turn when driving. And those would be wooden ladders in the back. That's how old this truck was.

These were some of the fireman helmets that different countries had used many, many years ago.

Some school pictures!

These are some of my classmates. We were craming for our final for last semester. Left to right....Ana, Michelle, Pruedence, Darryn, Ofelia, Elsa, Me, and Ibeth.

Friday the 13th!

On Friday the 13th, we went and saw the movie "Friday the 13th, with Jason", it was pretty funny, cause Chuck was scared throughout the whole movie.

My two favorite people in the whole world!

This girl is so adorable!!

Peyton decided to say "cheese" while he was still eating!

Valentine's Day in San Diego!

Me and Chuck on New Years Eve.






Uncle Chuck and Kanoa.

The Mission Inn.

This was our pose at the Mission Inn. We had a couple of magazines call us later for more photo shoots! Haha

Trip to Utah!

He wears his snowboots pretty much everywhere he goes!

Me and Peyton smiling for the camera.







Sam, Peyton and Me in the backyard building a snowman.

Needless to say, he tried to eat the whole backyard!

This would be the beautiful Chloe! I was able to spoil her the whole time I was here. She is always full of smiles, even at 3 months.

And this would be Peyton in his snow outfit, getting ready to play in the snow. I laughed so hard when I saw him in this!
