The Best Present Ever!

Anyone who knows me well will tell you how much I love fall. I love to drive up in the mountains, take pictures of the leaves, play in the leaves, and oh the smell! I love it!
Being in Arizona this fall was quite depressing! I missed every thing about Utah fall. It was really hard to be away from Utah and try to enjoy the Saguaros and scorpions that the AZ mountains offer.
Last night I looked on my porch and the mail man dropped off a package from my family.
When I opened it, I cried. It was the nicest thing anyone could have sent me.
So thank you Mom, Dad, Mandy, Jason and Brendan!
We woke up, and the kids played in them. Then I decided to share the leaves with the preschool kids today. They thought it was the coolest thing ever! Some of the kids didn't know what to think because they hadn't played in them before! (Utah, we will be coming home...I just don't know when.)

I am so glad that you loved it! Looks like the kids had a great time. Utah misses you too! (okay, maybe not the state, but the people in it!)

OK, that is the sweetest thing. It's true that you really appreciate things when you don't have them. I am sad that Fall is slowly coming to an end...but am enjoying every bit of it while I can. It looks like the kids enjoyed playing in the leaves.

You make me think about appreciating fall more, even though the leaves are one of my most favorite things in the world as well.

And the Price is Right video was so funny/great!

Tell Kye hello, and I hope he's enjoying his job more than he was 3 months ago.

That was so thoughtful... I thought of you when I was viewing the beautiful Cedar Mountains, and their changing leaves. Funny how somethings will remind you of people. I guess we take some things for granted. Fall is my favorite season too... and this weather is just now starting to crisp up... its been sad.

that really is the best present. I too love leaves! In fact I've given then as a gift before too. Wish I could've shared that moment with you. What a thoughtful family. Love your hair, again.

Kelly! I found your blog through Keysha and Jill's blog. Your family told me about the leaves last week when we were up there, that's so much fun. Hey we are coming to Phoenix next week, and I wondered if you had any ideas of what to do while we are there?? Jordan has training for 2 weeks, and I will have my 2 kids! Any suggestions would be great! Cute kids!

What an eventful day! Here we go... BEFORE I being, I need to explain something. When I went to the Dr. on Thursday I was 37 weeks. She told me that 37 weeks is full term. The baby had also dropped. Stripping the membranes isn't inducing because the baby won't come if it is not ready. Also, she was expecting me to go into labor anytime, so it just made it convenient to have him come when Kye had work off and could be home. My contractions started to be painful around 7:00 am. Everyone was up. Katelin was laying by me on my bed being my nurse and holding my hand. So sweet. Kye was loading the car. Around 8:00 we had dropped the kids off at Crystals (LOVE you Crystal) and headed for the hospital. The longest ten miles of my life. I thought we were going to have a baby in the car. The contractions started coming every five minutes and lasting two minutes. Now you would think ten miles is quick, but not on the I-10 that is under construction during traffic! Kye tried to pull over t...

The Price Is Right 10/25/1999

Ten years ago this weekend, I went with my mom, sister, Rochelle Waite and Amber Bush to try to get on The Price is Right. I wasn't interested in really being on the show; so I lagged behind, didn't comb my hair, or take the time to do to much makeup. I would never get picked. Holy smokes, they called my name and the rest is history! Let me answer several questions right now: No, I didn't know what was going on. In fact, after everything happened, I had to sit down and fill out a bunch of paper work. I couldn't remember my address, how to spell my name, or recall what even just happened. I remember thinking, "What did I just win"? Yes, I kissed Bob and he stinks like Halloween make-up...an inch thick. (Seriously) The wheel is not heavy. No, I didn't know I was going to be picked. I didn't get to keep the $500 cash. Someone came and took it from me because, "Bob uses the same bills for every show." They just took it off my taxes. No, it is not...

It's Elvis Baby!

Kye competed in "The Last Talent Standing" competition for Maricopa County. He walked in with a suit and a note written on his brief case that said, "Auditor by day". Then he turned the brief case around and it said, "Auditor by night". Then he took off his jacket, tie, turned up his collar and put on the Elvis glasses. He was a hit! We'll find out who the top six contestants are in a week or two. (Sorry for the loud hollar, I forgot I was filming!) Go Kye!
