Woman of the Year



...and the award goes to my mom, Joyce. Her plane landed the same time Kanyon was born. She stayed for eleven days. She cooked, cleaned, played with the kids, grocery shopped, changed 100 diapers, and stayed up with the baby to let me sleep. My family is so grateful for her help. I am so grateful for her help. I don't know what I would have done if she didn't come. (Well, I know what I would have done, and it would have been a lot harder.) My dad came the last four days. It was great. I love my parents. They are the best!

Kelly! You look amazing! Look at that cute little family. Hey, maybe Joyce can come stay with me after I have my next baby!! (just kidding mom, if you ever read this....)! It's nice to have the help. Those first days (and weeks) take some getting used to. (I'm sure even more so when you have 3!!!)

I cried when my mom went home and you described perfect why someone would. Moms are the BEST!! We do you think you'll make your big trip to Utah again?? Last time you came I was in Phoenix...we just switched! I love the pictures you took of him. It looks like you've still got that great talent!

I'm so jealous of the warm weather you have! I'm bundled up right now in a sweatshirt, blanket, and fuzzy moccosins! Where's the sun!!! And you look incredible. What a cute baby and cute family.

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!
