Exploring on New Year's Day
Kev and Dad riding one of the many cool trails we found
Dad got his feet wet on this trip- really wet!! lol so he took off hi socks and shoes to dry off a little and exposed his super white feet to the sun. He looks like a hillbilly!!
Kevin riding super fast through a big puddle and splashing up some water
Look what I found!!
Some poor dude had driven his Toyota Tacoma into this wash prolly about two weeks ago and then there was a flash flood and it got stuck in water and mud!! Dad was examining the wreckage with his engineer brain trying to see if there was anything he could salvage. Meanwhile Kev checked out the scattered remnants around the truck and found a Book of Mormon, a priesthood manual, a couple printed out general conference talks and a ward directory. Poor Mormon guy getting his truck stuck in the desert- hope his insurance covered it!!

The Dunes!!
My uncle invited me out to the dunes to go riding and I had a great time!! It took a little getting used to considering I usually ride a motorcycle on trails in the desert and I hardly ever ride our quads and if I do it's just jumping them or going around in the desert. The dunes is totally different, I had to learn to ride a quad on the steep hills, and crazy curves of the dunes! I really had fun once I started getting the hang of it. I rode my uncle's friend, KT's Suzuki 400 wicked fast quad- my biggest problem was shifting to the right gears without stalling out or getting stuck. Anyway I really like riding in the dunes but it was nice to be able to come home and take a shower, and sleep in my nice cozy bed.
My cousins- Allison, Max, Laura and Jake on their Quads up on a Dune
Jake riding back down Patton- A seriously big Dune that goes practically straight up, it's seriously terrifying and I refused to try it!
Allison riding on back with KT
Max man just chilling at the bottom of Patton
My cousins chilling by the camp fire waiting for Smores.
This is a video I shot of Jake going up Patton. He is the second Quad you see (the one with two flags)
This is what we did for entertainment Saturday night!! We call these "Sobe Bombs!"
Jake and Laura tried their hand at doing some jumps on their quads. Jake got a little air, but Laura hasn't quite got the hang of it yet so she never got off the ground much.

Christmas
As always I took tons of random pictures on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Here are just a few to help tell the story of my Christmas.
On Christmas Eve we have started a tradition where we have a White Elephant gift exchange. It is always tons of fun and this year one of the gifts was a bag with 18 pairs of Sunglasses in it (my grandma cleaned out one of her drawers!!) so we all put on a pair and I took a pic of the whole family.
Yummy baked potato bar on Christmas Eve. The boys give it two thumbs way up!
Max made out like a bandit at the White Elephant, he got all of the gifts that no one wanted!! He was thrilled!
Christmas morning-STOCKINGS!!
Mom's Christmas present from Dad- a Kawasaki Lakota 300!! A freak'n sweet quad all for mom!!

Kleisler Kids Photo Shoot
For my mom's Christmas present my brothers and I went and got our pictures taken together and they turned out so great!!! I have been dying to put the pics up here but I had to wait until after Christmas otherwise it would have ruined my mom's surprise! I blew up some of them and had them framed! She loved them. So anyway here are some of the best ones.
Tagged- Six Things!!
I always hope that I can avoid these things but alas I have been tagged by Lindsey so here you go six interesting/odd/clever/fun/random things about me.
1. I am easily obsessed.... I find a new hobby or interest and instantly cling to it and spend all of my money time and energy on obbsessing over it. For instance my most recent obsession is Phoenix Suns basketball!! I love it, I bought a bunch of tickets so I can go to a game once a month before I leave on my mission. I also have 2 Nash jerseys and a Stodemire jersey. I have 2 phx suns t-shirts and two hats. I must watch all games on tv (unless seeing them in person) and if for some reason I can't be near a tv I will record them and watch the whole thing later that evening. I check Suns.com everyday and read news and articles and I also have my Suns mobile where I get texts straight to my phone with stats, scores and news. I have had many such obseesions since I have been a teenager, some include Skateboarding, BMX, Spiderman, Surfing and many more.
2. I love my girls.... There are 4 little girls in my life that mean the whole entire world to me. I love them (and spoil them) as if they were my daughters. I love to spend as much time as possible with them and I will be absolutely devestated when I can't see them for 1 1/2 years. I have known them since the oldest, Hailey, was 2. Their mom was my beehive advisor and I started babysitting them. Back then I had no life so I would call them up and come over and ask their parents to go out so I could babysit. I loved playing with them and as time grew on they just became a part of me. Now 11 years later I am almost like a second mom to them and their parents are like second ones for me. I can't tell you how many times Jack and Amy talked me out of doing something completely stupid or how they would have to babysit me when I was a rebellious teenager and my parents went out of town. I am so blessed to have had them in my life and I know we will all be friends forever!!
3. I have a serious issue with change.... I love Change, when I am the one who gets to do it! If I decide to change something up in my life I love it. I love spontaneity and random spur of the moment decisions. But I hate when things change and I have no control of it. For example my older brother getting married next weekend. This threw me for such a loop and I have had such a hard time getting used to the change.
4. I am very blunt.... I have this problem where I always say what's on my mind and I always tell people what I am thinking. This can be a serious problem because I have NO filter. I have gotten myself into serious trouble many a time because of this little habit of mine. I am a pretty easy going person and I really don't get "my feelings hurt" so I have a hard time watching what say because I just don't think about it. I am also very sarcastic- I get that from my dad. Suffice it to say my mouth can usually get me into sticky situations.
5. I like boy clothes.... Since prolly my jr year in High School I have always choose boy clothes over girls ones. I am way more comfortable in basketball shorts, a skateboarding brand t-shirt and a sideways or backwards baseball hat. Of course my mom has never enjoyed this particular choice but she finally decided it was a battle not worth fighting (cause I never backed down). This clothing choice has caused me to be mistaken for a boy more times than I can count, which doesn't bug me - I have some pretty thick skin. I think I have always just liked being comfy plus when I was a teenager I really enjoyed looking like a thug - I thought I was so bad a*# but in all honesty I was all talk! lol So anyway now that I am about to be a missionary and wearing skirts all day everyday it is going to be a big change, but I am good with it.
6. I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.... My religion means the world to me and without it I would not be where I am today. It brings me so much happiness and I am so blessed to have parents who raised me in the church and never gave up on me. They knew that someday I would develop my own testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and I did.
