Snake River Trip, Baby!

On the weekend of July 12th, Kye and I went with his work for the annual Snake River Trip. We ran the river four times and boy was it awesome! Cold, but awesome. Did I mention that the water was freezing cold? Anyway, we are looking forward to next year! Here are some pictures taken by a guy in Kye's office. And if you look close enough, I am the one wearing the retro purple water jacket on the raft. Hey, it kept me warm and whoever said you have to be in fashion while running the river was lying...

So Jealous. I love the snake. My family goes down in the rubber two man kayaks every year, but I don't think I've gone with them on the river since I had Kenlie because I never had anyone to watch my kiddo's while I went. One day huh? Glad to see you are remembering what it's like to get to be you and not attached permanently to a child. When are you going to New York? Are you in Palm Springs too. You little traveling woman you. Good for you!

I am super jealous. I've been trying to get Dan to take me for the last 4 years. I think he is chicken! It was awesome to see you for lunch. I finally made it home (I was in the airport for quite a while).

So cool! Good for you! I think I'm too big of a scaredy for that... not to mention a complete wimp in the cold... note that I moved to Florida. I don't swim unless the water is above 90, and preferably above 95!
I think you need to plan a Florida vacation!!

That's my home region!!! I used to go on the Snake, but I'm far too Arizonaized now.

Kye's hat kills me. Why doesn't he ever wear baseball caps? There's nothing wrong with his hat but notice that the only other guy wearing a hat like that is the old guy. ha!

Looks awesome! I have some great memories of floating the Snake. Glad you guys had a wonderful time!

I like Kye's hat. It defines his 'seriousness.' Chad always wears hats like that to do yard work--I'm sure our neighbors think he's a fuddy duddy. (I'd like to think he's just being sun-conscious, right?)

Kelly you are sooooo awesome. I am feeling bad that I posted that, cause then you thought you were a horrible friend, when I had no idea you were having such a hard time after having the baby. I think you are a great friend. Thanks so much for the awesome cookies. I think I do need more....KIDDING, don't you dare make anymore, but I do want the recipe. Thanks for remembering me, I am feeling better already!

About Kye's hat:

It could be tied under his chin so it wouldn't fly off when we hit rough water. I like him in those hats. I think he looks SEXY!

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!
