THE BUSBYS CAME TO TOWN

LAST WEEK JANA AND LEE AND THEIR KIDS CAME TO IDAHO!

I LOVE IT WHEN THEY COME! IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME!

AND JULES AND ELLA ARE MY TWO FAVORITE LITTLE GIRLS!

WHILE THEY WERE HERE WE WENT SWIMMING A LOT, THEY GOT TO RIDE KEV'S HORSE, US GIRLS GOT OUR NAILS DONE BY LYNDS AND WE WENT TO THE SNAKE RIVER STAMPEDE! SO FUN!

RO BROUGHT RYLAN TO SWIM WITH THE GIRLS AT BLACK CANYON!

IT WAS TOO COLD FOR ME, BUT THE KIDS LOVED IT!

AT THE SALON AFTER GETTIN OUR NAILS DONE!

JULES GOT PURPLE TOES AND PINK NAILS AND

ELLA GOT ZEBRA TOES WITH HOT PINK NAILS!

FLOATING TRAIN WITH UNCLE KY KY AT EAGLE ISLAND!

AT THE SNAKE RIVER STAMPEDE! IT IS ALWAYS A FUN SHOW!

THIS YEAR I MADE THE GIRLS NEW COWGIRL HATS FOR THE RODEO!

THEY LOVED THEM! JULES DIDN'T TAKE HERS OFF ALL NIGHT!

RODEO KISSES! HE MAKES FOR A PRETTY SEXY COWBOY IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF!!

THEN THE FUN WAS OVER AND LEE HAD TO GET BACK TO WORK AND THE GIRLS START SCHOOL SOON SO THEY HEADED BACK TO CALI... AGAINST EVERYONE'S WISHES!  WE ALL WISH THEY LIVED CLOSER BUT WE LOVE THE TIME WE DO GET TO SPEND WITH THEM AND MAKE MEMORIES!

AND THIS IS JUST CUTE SO I HAD TO SHARE THIS TOO:

ON THE LAST NIGHT THEY WERE HERE, WE DREW NAMES FOR CHRISTMAS.  THE GIRLS HAVE BEEN CALLIN ME RAY RAY SO THAT'S WHAT JANA PUT IN THE BOWL FOR MY NAME.  LEE DREW MY NAME AND ELLA RAN OVER AND GRABBED THE PIECE OF PAPER.  SHE CAME BACK TO ME AND SAID, "RAY RAY, I WILL NEVER LET THIS GO! IT IS A VERY SPECIAL NOTE!" SO CUTE!!!!

THEN KYLE AND I WENT HOME AND PAM TOLD US THAT AFTER WE LEFT ELLA WAS BALLING. SHE WAS SO SAD SHE HAD TO LEAVE! POOR GIRL! SO SHE WENT TO BED AND WHEN SHE GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING TO LEAVE, SHE STILL HAD THE LITTLE PAPER WITH MY NAME ON IT IN HER LITTLE HANDS!

LOVE THAT GIRL!!!!





PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

UNFORTUNATELY KYLE AND I BOTH HAD TO WORK ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO CELEBRATE WITH A FUN FILLED WEEKEND!

SATURDAY WE WENT WAKEBOARDING!

WE BOTH LOVE BEING OUT ON THE LAKE EVEN IF WE DO GET BURNT!

THEN ON SUNDAY WE HEADED UP TO THE CABIN!

KYLE HADN'T SEEN IT IN THE SUMMER TIME YET!

WE RODE FOUR WHEELERS AND SHOT SWEET GUNS WITH THE FAM!

NOT AS FUN AS SNOWMOBILING, BUT WE'LL TAKE IT!

SOMETIMES WE PRETEND WE ARE JACK BAUER

DON'T MESS WITH US!

THEN WE WENT TO CASCADE FOR THE FIREWORKS!

KYLE'S FAMILY MET US UP THERE!

IT WAS SO FUN AND A REALLY GOOD SHOW!

I LOVE BIG FIREWORKS OVER THE LAKE!

UNFORTUNATELY OUR FUN CAME TO AN END AND ON THE ACTUAL FOURTH OF JULY WE WORKED AND THEN DID HOMEWORK THAT NIGHT!

GROWIN' UP BLOWS!

BUT WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO LIVE IN THIS FREE COUNTRY

AND ARE ALSO GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES TO SERVE THE USA!

MEXICO OR BUST... I VOTE MEXICO!

AUGUST 1, 2010

KYLE AND I WOKE UP AT 3:30 IN THE MORNING THE DAY AFTER OUR WEDDING... I WAS SOOOOOOOO TIRED!  I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON, SO THIS WAS A STRUGGLE!  IT WAS ABOUT TO BE SO WORTH IT THOUGH!

FOR OUR HONEYMOON KYLE'S PARENTS GOT US A 7 DAY CRUISE TO THE MEXICAN RIVIERA!  WE WERE ON THE ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINES ON THE MARINER OF THE SEAS SHIP! IT WAS SO COOL! I HAD NEVER BEEN ON A CRUISE BEFORE, BUT I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND IT NOW!!!!

WE WALKED ON THE SHIP, SLEEPIER THAN EVER AND SUPER PUMPED TO FINALLY BE MARRIED! IT WAS AN INSTANT PARTY! CRUISE SHIPS ARE SO AWESOME! THERE ARE SO MANY LEVELS AND ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF ENTERTAINMENT! FIRST WE GOT A ROOM WITH A BALCONY! WE COULD SEE THE THE WATER RIGHT FROM OUR ROOM! KINDA SKETCHY THOUGH BECAUSE IF KYLE SECRETLY MARRIED ME FOR MY MONEY, HE COULD HAVE EASILY THROWN ME OVER-BOARD AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN!!

HOT HUSBAND+BALCONY+BREAKFAST IN BED = PARADISE

I WAS LIKE A LIL KID IN A CANDY STORE ON THE WHOLE CRUISE! THERE WERE SWIMMING POOLS EVERYWHERE, HOT TUBS, BUFFETS, MINI GOLF, ICESKATING, ROCK CLIMBING, A GYM, ARCADES, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON! THE BEST PART WAS THAT ALL OF IT WAS ON THE SHIP AND OPEN FOR US TO USE WHENEVER WE WANTED! IDEAL VACATION FOR SURE!

WE GOT A HONEYMOONERS CAKE, NO BIG DEAL!

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME SWIMMING AND IN THE HOT TUBS!

MINI GOLF ANYONE?!

I'M SUCH A PRO, CHECK ME OUT!

KYLE ATE HIS WEIGHT IN ICECREAM!

I WAS ABLE TO LEGALLY GAMBLE! HOLLA! I LOST ALL 5 BUCKS!

YOU CAN SEE HOW FUN THE SHIP WAS, BUT IT WAS ALSO QUITE THE ADVENTURE TO GET OFF THE SHIP! WE STOPPED AT THREE PORTS; CABO SAN LUCAS, MAZATLAN, AND PUERTO VALLARTA!  AT EACH PORT WE WERE ABLE TO VENTURE OFF THE SHIP AND GO ON EXCURSIONS OR SHOP THE GHETTO SHOPS! I ALWAYS STAYED CLOSE TO KYLE BECAUSE THE LOCALS LOVE THE BLONDE GIRLS!

FIRST STOP - CABO

LOVER'S BEACH, PERFECT FOR US HONEYMOONERS

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!

SECOND STOP - MAZATLAN

PARASAILING ADVENTURE!

BYE, BYE KYLE!

FLYIN' HIGH!

LAST STOP - PUERTO VALLARTA

(THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PORT!)

WE WENT ZIPLINING!!! ALMOST AS FUN AS SKYDIVING!

IT WAS AN ALL DAY ADVENTURE & THE COOLEST THING WE DID OFF THE SHIP!

THEN WE GOT SOAKED AFTER ZIPLINING, LUCKILY WE HAD OUR SWIMSUITS ON!

THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE MARINER OF THE SEAS! WE WENT TO A SHOW EVERY NIGHT (COMEDY, SINGING, DANCING, JUGGLING, ICESKATING, ETC.)! IT WAS THE BEST TO NOT HAVE TO PAY SEPARATELY FOR ALL THE INCREDIBLE SHOWS, THEY WERE ALL INLCUDED AND ON THE SAME STAGE EVERY NIGHT! WE ALSO HAD FUN AT DINNER, WHERE THE FOOD WAS TO DIE FOR AND OUR SERVER DID MAGIC TRICKS! 

3 COURSE MEAL EVERY NIGHT... FAT!

OUR AWESOME SERVER!!

SOMETIMES WE DRESS NICE!

THEN AT NIGHT WHEN ALL THE FESTIVITIES WERE OVER, WE WOULD HEAD BACK TO OUR ROOM AND FIND LITTLE TOWEL ANIMAL SURPRISES! I LOVED THEM AND DEFINITELY LOOKED FORWARD TO SEEING THEM EVERY NIGHT!

MONKEY WITH LYNDSEY'S MEXICO PRESENT!

ALL TOO SOON OUR HONEYMOON WAS OVER! IT WAS HORRIBLE! WE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE AIRPORT (FOR ALMOST A WHOLE DAY!) AND THEN GO HOME! NO FUN AT ALL!!!

WE WERE SO SAD! LUCKILY THE COWBOYS WERE PLAYIN' ON THE TINY AIRPORT T.V.

OVERALL, OUR HONEYMOON TO MEXICO WAS THE BEST WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FIRST WEEK WE COULD HAVE SPENT TOGETHER AND EVEN THOUGH WE WERE SAD WE HAD TO COME HOME, WE WERE SO EXCITED TO GET TO COME HOME TOGETHER AND STAY TOGETHER!!! WE STILL TALK ABOUT OUR HONEYMOON DAILY... THAT'S HOW GOOD IT WAS!

THE END :]
