What can be said?

There is absolutely no excuse for me not writing for...... almost a year. But, maybe eventually you will forgive me.

So it is now 2011(and has been for a while in case you didn't notice), and so being a new year I decided I need to make some goals. Here are a few:
1. Learn the guitar
2. Become good at sports(I recently found out that I'm am absolutely horrible in almost every sport, BUT THAT WILL CHANGE! :) and I am going to start with Basketball.)
3. Learn all types of ballroom dancing(I love dancing! it's the best!)
4. Be able to run 8 mile with my Dad at HIS pace(this one is going to be difficult.)
5. Learn to do a back-flip(No not on the trampoline, we're talking on the ground, I'll go into that later.)
6. Get a job(Luckily I kind of have a job waiting for me, HECK YES!)
7. in the fall take 2 classes at PCC[portland community college] and get A's in both(this is kind of a MUST!)
And last, but not least!
8. By the end of this year be 6 ft. tall(I know I don't have a butt load of control over this, but... yeah) and weigh 180 pounds, full of muscle. { ;) we'll see how it turns out}

And that is my list of goals.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

Later!

2 weeks ago, Sorry

Last thursday Ammon and Artyom and I Grabbed 2 friends and went camping for a night.
It was pretty much Awesome! No parents, no adults, no little kids,
what more can you ask for!
So anyway we were having a ton of fun and we all
took our shirts off and went exploring.
We were following a big creek and we were kind of doing a contest
of who could keep from getting beat-up by nature :).
And for some strange reason nature didn't like me so much,
so we went exploring and one by one all of fell in the water or got by a branch
and then right as we turned around to go back to camp I stepped onto a fallen down tree
and right where I stepped the bark broke off, so I-out of reflex-grabbed 2 branches,
but lucky me! The branches broke and my friend who was right in front of me turned around to
see only my foot sticking out of the most poky bush any of us had ever seen!
OUCH!
That hurt REALLY bad!
So after they pulled me out of the bush we had an "ape grooming" party :D
as they pulled the thorns out of my back.
.
So we went back to camp, made a fire, made dinner, made smores, and went to bed.
Bed was a stupid idea,
we had 5 people and we all deicded to sleep in the car

we had the van but if you've ever tried to sleep in a car you find out

that you run out of oxygen pretty fast.

Now imagine having 5 people in one car, yes.

We had put pads in the back of the van so 3 people slept in the back, Artyom slept on the seat and I was stuck in the passenger seat.

after spending five hours in that seat with no sleep I came to the conclusion:

shotgun was not design for sleep.

every now and then i would fall asleep for 30 seconds

and then every 2 hours I had to turn on the A/C.

I ended up getting 2 hours of sleep after Ammon traded with me but I finally got up at 6:00.

.

.

We ended up going to the cheese factory and the beach and then went home

and watched a movie.

Hope you enoyed the Adventures Of Lehi! :D

Hilarious Lunch

(I think I forgot to mention that my new russian sister inlaws younger brother is staying with us through the summer, he's 14, an awesome guy, and he's going to get baptized in a couple weeks.)

Today for lunch we had wavoes voncharoes(I have no idea how to spell it),

A mexican/american thing that we all love.

.

it's pretty much a mini corn tortilla, with beans, an egg, salsa,

sour cream, and avacodo.

.

But anyway. I made some for me and Artyom and when I gave it to him he couldn't figure out how to cut it with just his fork. :D

-

Maybe thats something I take for granted, but it seem very natural the way I cut my food with my fork and I think all american do it too.

-

But I just found hilarious and kept busting up laughing when he would rub his fork back and forth like a knife.

Eventually he got tired of me laughing at him and just used a knife

and when he was done he said in his own words: "the meal was good, but to eat must take experiance".

=D

That made me laugh even more.

Maybe you should think about, don't take the way you eat for granted!

The Past While....

The weekend before last week was the father-son camp-out.

It was a lot of fun except for a couple thing:

#1 I hate peacocks(they were everywhere!)!!!,

#2 Never try to fit 4 people in a 2-man-tent,

#3 never do #2 with only 3 sleeping bags.

don't do any of those things and you should be okay. :D

.

.

.

Last week on Wednesday for scouts we did the Lifesaving Merit badge,

though I have a small feeling had any of it been real

it would have been more like dying a heroic death! :)

In the end I think we got the idea though

.

.

.

.

Friday was pretty boring, but when the night came

we decided to get a movie. But my Mom made us promise that

if we got a PG13 movie we had to watch it onclearplay(for those

who don't know, that's a movie filter), we were fine with that so we

got a movie none of us had seen but we wanted to(17 again).

So we got the filter for it and turned it on to find it skipping huge

amounts of detail,we found we had set that filter level way to high,

but there was really nothing we could do about it so we just watched

as it -literally- skipped half of the movie leaving only the most awkward parts

for us. that was pretty lame,

but whatever.... :)

This week I am praying for sunshine!

join the cause!

The Beach

Last week we went to the beach, it was a TON of fun. It was all of the thirteen Bennions with spouses and kids and Anya's family. Amya is my new sister inlaw, she and dane got married the 29th of May. Anya's brother -Artyom- speaks English, but her parents didn't. Anya and Artyom translated most of the time, but when they weren't around it was a a crazy game of charads, they knew as much English as I knew Russain -about 20 words-. Even with charads we still had a ton of fun, her parents were the nicest people ever. But back to the beach, we left on wednesday, when we got there we it was kind of late so we didn't do much. Thursday was cloudy most of the day, but we still spent most of the day outside. Friday was the BEST, the sun was shining bright and hot and we were ready for it, I think I spent over 9 hours outside on friday-it was a lot of fun-. I'll explain the rest with pictures.

the landscape was really beautiful.

The whole house was decorated, even the bathroom.

the parrot didn't like me........ :)

Us on the dune.

:D...........maybe I should be a model........ jk

Goodbye cruel world!!!

We found a way to entertain ourselves :D

Eventually the day was over and here's what I looked like

So thats about it... :) we came home on saturday REALLY sunburned.

The End ;)

Introduction

Hello Friends

Everyone who's reading this probably knows this already but, name's Lehi, Lehi Bennion(some people in my ward call me Wee-hi, while my niece calls my Lo-hi[not really important, but hey I'll bet you smiled]). I just turned 15 last Friday, and I'm 5 ft. 10 in. I enjoy many things some of my favorites are: Dancing, Parkour, Sports, Singing, Partying, and over all having Fun. Though I do spend quite a bit of time indoors, with good weather I would take outdoors any day of the week(I love camping). Lately one of my big obsessions has been Parkour. Yes as you may have guessed I am a bit random. I am going to finish now because I need to get off the computer, but it was great blogging for you(which is kind of funny because I don't even know if your reading this). :)

Have a nice day!
