Eat Some Dirt!!!

Any Monday holiday is a riding day for my family, ever since I bought my first motocross bike and got my family started in the whole off-roading thing, we take our quads, atc's and motorcycles and ride, race, jump and make each other eat our dirt whenever everyone has the day off!! We took advantage of Veteran's day and loaded everybody up and headed out to the desert. Today we went to a newer place we are trying out and it has tons of trails! We had a blast and were kicking up some serious dirt!! There is nothing I love more than riding, I wish I could have ridden my motorcycle today but this place that we went to has a lot of sandy washes that would fishtail my bike like no other. So I rode a quad instead which was fun- but I am a motorcycle girl all the way!

We found a cool little wooded area in the middle of the desert

That's me riding the tank up a bank

That's Keith getting some air off of the same bank

Brad caught some air on his three wheeler


Then Kev got some air too! We all tried to see who could catch the most air- I had was out of the contest on the Tank because it is so heavy it can't catch anything, so I took pics of our impromptu contest instead. Keith ended up winning which surprised us all. He got at least 3 or 4 feet of air but unfortunately we had all put our cameras away by then.

Take a Hike!!!

I took the girls on their very first real hike!!! We drove out about an hour and a half into the dessert to a real neat spot that we like to take our quads and it was wonderful weather, great scenery and all together a fabulous time! The girls loved every minute of it, picking up rocks and sticks and then becoming explorers as we went into some tunnels/caves and found bats, toads and lizards! Annie was just loving everything pointing at all kinds of stuff with big wide eyes! My parents and I took turns carrying her- Annie especially loved it when my dad put her on his shoulders, and at 6' 3 my dad made her feel pretty dang tall I'm sure! lol We had a great time and the girls all said they for sure want to go hiking again which I think Jack is pretty psyched about.

Me and my baby loving the outdoors!

Annie loved it the most I think because all she had to do was sit there and be carried along for the ride!!

The motley crew- minus me (taking the picture)

Hailey turned her pant legs into pockets to carry all her rocks and treasures she found along the way!
Taking a rest in the shade

A bat that we saw in the cave- it seriously had Hailey and Maicy freaked out of their minds, but surprisingly Kiley was fearless!

Mom taking her turn to carry the sack of potatoes!! lol

Dinner and a Movie- and of Course Dessert!!

Friday Night I had the girls because Jack and Amy were celebrating their Anniversary. So I of course had to spoil them and do something totally fun! So my parents were really sweet and watched Annie for me and I took the older girls to go see Bee Movie and then to Streamers for Dinner and yummy dessert!! It was so fun and Annie had fun with my mom and dad too! They adore her- and she LOVES them, especially my dad!! I don't know what it is but she can't get enough of my dad!!

Waiting for the movie to start- and being silly of course!!

Kiley with her Mouse dessert- it was so cute and absolutely delicious!

Hailey was having a little too much fun eating her blackout! lol

The oh so cute Maicy

My Baby Brother Turns 19!!

Smile Kevin you're 19!!

A little Guitar Hero to get the party started!!

This is the look Kev gave me when he realized that I wrapped many of his presents multiple times!! I found it hilarious- he did not!

My Aunt testing out one of Kev's presents- a new Fox chest protector for when we go out riding

Make a wish baby bro!

Suns vs Lakers- Home Opener

Planet Orange here we come!!

The view from our seats- yes I know they are nosebleeds- but I am a Kindergarten Teacher's Aide for goodness sake- I don't make much!

My gorgeous Grandma, I don't know why the pic is blurry, odd.


I bought 4 tickets to the Phoenix Suns home opener verse LA and I decided to take my mom and my grandparents with me. We had fun despite how horribly the Suns played and also despite the simply awful Lakers fan sitting right behind us yelling so loudly in our ears and being obnoxious!! After the game grandpa took us out to Applebee's for dessert. It was a fun night even though we lost- but hey were 2 and 1, plus the season just started and I have tickets to 6 more games!!! Yay, I am excited!! Go Suns!!

My Fav Restraunt with My Fav People!!

Tuesday evening my family (except for Keith who was at school) went to Joe's BBQ for dinner. It was delicious as always and oh so much fun because I was with the best company possible! I swear we Kleisler's can make even the most dull of situations something to laugh about and a memorable time for everyone. It is IMPOSSIBLE to not have a good time when hanging around my family!! After Joe's mom and I dropped off the boys and then took Annie to the park- which of course she loved!

What an odd bunch! lol

Kevin just has to make faces in all of his pictures!!

I love this picture!! Annie loved to go down the slide and the look on her face was always so cute as she was sliding down.

Halloween Fun with Cousins!!

On Halloween I went over to my Uncle Jeff's house to eat my Aunt Elaine's yummy soup, check out my uncle's cool haunted house and to goof around with my cousins. They dressed up as characters from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was pretty funny and their costumes were pretty elaborate, but by the time I got over there they had taken most of their costume pieces off.

My youngest cousin Max and I

We were playing with fake bugs and thought it would be fun to cover him in them- he wasn't so sure about that!! lol

Yes I am related to these kids- what can I say? I think I bring out the craziness in my little cousins whenever they are with me!!

See crazy!!! I had so much fun taking them trick- or - treating because we were being so very silly!
