Happy Mother's Day













What a great Mother's Day this was! Beyond the delicious meals and gifts is the blessing that I am able to have children. Many women would give anything to be up in the middle of the night holding a crying baby. Sometimes I take being able to bear children for granted.
I am also grateful for my mother who raised me. That wasn't easy ;)

True dat. sweet post. Isn't it crazy how the simple things are really what make Mother's Day special? My mom always used to say that she didn't want anything (and I never believed her!) but it's true..

So true!! Everytime I am tempted to complain about the less-than-pleasant aspects of this motherhood role, I try to remind myself that not long ago I was wondering if Id ever get the chance. And many others spend every day wondering that.

btw - I dont know if you remember me. we met briefly at that couples retreat at Aspen grove. Im one of Kyes former classmates. And I love your blog! So inspiring.

You always have such a great perspective on things! I love it! We are in AZ now. Possibly until the 22nd. Yikes! Anyway, how far are you from Scottsdale?

I always have to remind myself of the same thing. I too often let stress and fatigue overwhelm me.

Kanyon looks like Kye. I'm glad you had such a great Mother's Day and that's great news that you are moving back. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

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!
