Kolob Canyon

I had a blast spending the weekend alone with my parents. We had a great time laughing, reminiscing and just being silly. We drove to and from St. George with no radio just talking. On our way home, we stopped at Kolob Canyon. I hadn't been there since KT was born. Seriously, it's so beautiful! I know, I am such a poser!

Wedding In St. George

I went to St. George with my parents for my cousin Julie's wedding. It was so wonderful!! I met cousins that I never knew and we bonded instantly! It was fun to spend the day with family. I learned a lot of new things about my dead grandparents-their personalities, hobbies, and funny stories. We also spent the night savoring old photographs I had never seen before. I have a new sense of where I came from. It was very fulfilling. Great Aunt Phyllis Leavitt, Joyce, Leann Lundgren Van Leavitt, mom, Phyllis Sisters: Megan, Kristen, Julie, Me and my cousin Emily Leavitt Papa and me mama and me Mama and papa The three amigos! Julie, me, Kristen. These two twinners were my little buddies growing up. I can't believe they are old enough to be married!!

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...

Linger Longer, Please!

Fall, in my unbiased opinion, is the most beautiful time of year. The leaves are gorgeous and they only stay that way for about 3 weeks. Unfortunately we missed the "peak" while we were in California. However, we went up to Sundance anyway and rode the Scenic Lift to view the majestic scene. I have a feeling snow is right around the corner. Please let autumn linger a little longer. Kanyon fell and scratched his upper lip right before we got back on the lift.

Stop or Kanyon will shoot!

KC picked out a Buzz Lightyear gun as a toy in Disneyland. When Kanyon took and refused to give it back, we decided we better buy two. (Here he is screaming his protest at the condo.) Now that we have two, we are wondering why we got any! (Imagine if you will, gun noises. That is what he is doing!)
