My Niece is so Cute!!

I love the look she is giving the person standing to her right in this picture. It's like she's saying, "You're weird." (I'm guessing it's Lyndsie. . . hehehe).

I absolutely love her hair in this picture. She has a Mohawk!!

Having too much Fun!!

Who knew that taking pictures of yourself with friends could provide hours of entertainment! :) We took about 50 pictures of ourselves and these were the best two. Ha ha.

Hiy-may???

So, this guy just called me from Google. He had a Hispanic accent. He asked if he could speak to Hiy-may. Ha ha. I died laughing. I kind of feel bad for the guy. I bet he felt so stupid. I corrected him, but then later in the conversation he asked me if he could verify my e-mail. He said, "Is it hiy-may L @ gmail.com?" Ha ha. I burst into laughs again. I couldn't refrain. He said "Sorry. I thought you were Spanish." That made me laugh even more because my last name is Lenkersdorfer. Definitely not a Spanish last name. :) You gotta love people. They are so great.

Charcoal!!

On Sunday, I opened the door to the garage and found a grey kitten having the time of her life inside my garage! I have no idea how long she was in there before I found her, but as soon as she saw me she ran and hid. I couldn't find her to swoosh her out of the garage so I just left to go to church. I told my dad about it later and I told him that I didn't know if she was still in the garage or if she somehow made it out. So we went to investigate. As my dad was moving around the wood in the garage, we found her . . . scared as a . . . kitten? Is that where that phrase came from? Anyway, I grabbed her, took her out of the garage, and tried to calm her down. I fed her water and she slept in my backyard. I named her Charcoal. I haven't seen her since Sunday, but I put water out for her everyday. :) I don't usually like animals, but I think I'll make an exception for Charcoal.

Let's Just Say . . . It was Memorable

This gorgeous place to the left is a city in Arizona called Sedona. It's about 2 hours north of Mesa. My family decided to go there yesterday for Memorial Day. We went on a 10 mile hike on a trail called West Fork. It was quite an adventure.

First, we were only about 10 seconds on the hike when a bee flew into my head and knocked me off balance. It must have been quite the scene to see because my family couldn't stop laughing. I was not laughing . . .

Next, we were hiking and a huge horse fly landed on my leg and bit me. It hurt! I didn't even know they could bite, but trust me. . . they do.

Then, about two hours into the hike me and my sister had to go potty. So . . . I've never done that in the wilderness before. It was interesting, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. :) Maybe this is too much information for some of you. Sorry.

Next, my sister and my dad were behind me and my mom taking pictures and so we decided to stop and wait. We waited for about 15 minutes when we realized that we had somehow gotten off the trail. So, we got back on the trail and started looking for them, but we had no idea where they went! They were lost. So, we decided to finish the hike without them. Maybe we would see them on the way.
We had almost made it to the end when we decided to turn back and look for them again. We finally found them! They somehow got ahead of us and were waiting at the end of the trail.

Finally, on our way back to the car, I stepped on a sandy rock and slipped! I landed on my left side. I have bruises everywhere and I cut my finger, knee, and arm. I was bleeding. My mom had me wash up in the river. I also rolled my ankle a little bit so I had to limp back 2 miles to the car. It was not the greatest feeling ever.

When we finally got back to the car and bandaged up (my sister's shoes made her feet bleed) we went out to dinner. We were all starving. We went to Wildflower Bread Co. It was so delicious. I had never been there before. I got a BLT and Potato Soup.

After that, we headed home. I was so tired and sore. I slept the whole way home. It was a pretty adventurous day, but then again, It's always an adventure when I'm with my family. :)

Growing Up!

My sister had her High School graduation this last week. It was so great. When we got to the High School it was nice outside and it seemed like it was going to be a perfect night for a graduation. The sky quickly turned dark and cloudy after 30 minutes of being there. The rain came. . . It was cold. I was not prepared. The principal decided that since it was raining he was not going to give his speech. Of course the crowd cheered when he announced this. The superintendent read a 30 second poem and then quickly sat down. A three hour graduation turned out to only be about an hour and a half! Of course, I was soaked. We all looked like we had jumped in the pool with our clothes on. But, it was worth it.

I am so proud of my sister for accomplishing this big goal in her life. She is going to be going to the LDS Business College in Salt Lake at the end of August. I am going to miss her so much. She is truly my best friend.

Congratulations Sis! Way to Go!! :)
