Ooopsie-Daisy!!! Does Friday the 13th have anything to do with this...perhaps???? BAD LUCK!!!


(see the bald spot in the front?? UGH)
Well...last night I put Declan in the tub and I was looking at his hair and it was getting long again. It does not even look like I cut it at all; which I did not too long ago. This kid's hair grows so stinking fast...and has tons of it. Declan was destined for a lot of hair, curly, frizzy, thick...well...because that is my hair and Kris's too.

So I started to trim the bottom and top a little. I have been wanting it to be a LITTLE BIT shorter on top and around so I can kind of spike it up...and have it not so frizzy at the bottom. Well...I decided to get Kris's hair trimmers, the electric kind, and clean up the bottom and spots here and there. WELL Declan decided not to be still for a moment...moved down really quick as I was holding him...you can guess---yeah I made a "almost" bald spot in the back. Then I went to the front to fix the length to match the back. You guessed it again...he moved really quick and I made another "almost" bald spot right in the front!!

LONG STORY...SHORT...I MESSED UP DECLAN'S CUTE CURLY HAIR!!! :[ The Little Monkey wouldn't hold still. I tried fixing it as much as I could, as much as he was cooperating...so here are the pictures!!! I was NOT going to buzz it all off. I was determined to make it look half way decent...with some "style"... AHHH!!!

As you can see by the pictures...Declan was really peachy after getting his hair cut...better yet, while getting his hair cut!! Hair grows back right ??? Just do not laugh when you see his hair. It's...the...DOGS FAULT. Let's just blame it on the dogs. They barked, and Declan jumped and there Goes his hair. . . .more than once!

That's my story...and I'm sticking too it...
*Now it kind of looks like a MILITARY CUT...kind of*
SORRY Mr. GOOBER!!!

Vernal Utah Temple...

Rebecca Mullins--Vernal, Utah LDS Temple
February 7th, 2009

So, this last Saturday was a great day to say the least. My sister-in-law, my husbands little sister, went through the Vernal, UT Temple and received her endowments. It was so great, and I am sure it was a day that Becky was truly looking forward too. She is such a great person, and has so much going for her...

She is not going on a mission or getting married. Her Bishop just felt like it was time for her and knew she was ready. She is 24. That just says how special Becky is, and how strong her Testimony is. She is a wonderful sister and a great example of obedience and patience...

Kris, my husband, went snowboarding this last week as well. He took his older brother Sam snowboarding--it was Sam's birthday. I was glad he went. He has been really wanting to do that for quite some time. I am just busy, and lets just say it, I suck at snowboarding. I've only been twice, but I just get kind of annoyed and frustrated that I just can't pick it up quick...but I'll get it someday. *maybe* So...since Kris was out in Utah, Layton area, he traveled early Saturday morning and met us in Manila to all drive together to Vernal. I was so happy he came. It is just so nice to be in the Temple with your spouse and feel the incredible spirit that is there. I am very grateful for him and I am truly blessed...I love him more and more each day.

Kris and I were sitting in the Chapel area before the session began. One of the Temple workers was just staring at me and smiling. So, I smiled back, but I would look away for a bit and he would just keep staring at me and smile. Then all of a sudden he got up and came towards Kris and I. He asked us to be the witness couple for the session. *haha* Kris being the teaser that he is said, "No...she's only been a couple times." *sure blame it on me* He looked shocked that Kris said NO, but quickly after said while trying not to laugh, "Yeah we will." The Temple worker said, "You'll be fine...I know you will."

So, we've been married since May 2006. I went only once that first year that we were married. Then not at all in 2007, busy with pregnancy and Declan being in the Hospital--but went right at the beginning on 2008 because Rachel was getting married. Now, I have gone for 2009. I ,we, definitely need to go more, and that is something that we are really wanting to work on.

I would just like to tell Becky how proud of her I am. She is an amazing person. She has been my friend before I even knew Kris. Becky is talented and kind beyond words. Her Testimony shows by just being around her, and I am so glad that she has gotten to make those covenants in the Temple. What a AMAZING daughter of God she is...

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE DAY...

...Just writing How I feel on a few things...

So...this whole economics crisis thing really is not fun right now. Some businesses are not being affected at all by this--but we, the Motel and Bowling Alley are. People just are not traveling right now as much or need to for their business or pleasure-thus I am being affected.

Last year in January the Motel had over $20,000 dollars of money stay here. This year...only $13,000 or less. So you could say "OUCH" and yes we are being affected by this. People are just not getting enough business to have their employees stay here or getting any business out here at all--so I'm not having as many companies stay here as I have had in the past.

So---as of this morning my boss came in and said that I need to cut hours. Not "let-go" anyone, but cut some hours. I have been given an automatic three hours a day or sometimes a little more just depends on how hard they work and if it was a "Bad-day". But now...I'm pretty much going to have to let them work what they work...maybe give them 2 hours a day automatically. But if they are late then that's their fault. If they have to leave soon, then that's their fault. It really sucks to do this. I'm sure I'll get some who really depend on the extra hours get mad or quit--threatening to quit behind my back. But--I'm not going to fire anyone...if some girls quit and that leaves just a few girls to do the Motel, then that will help them get more hours--but in turn they have to work harder-- it is just a win or loose situation... So we'll see how this all works out..."yea me..."

Another thing that has been going on in my mind is... I'm sure this is going to annoy people and I'll just sound like a typical girl--but here I go:

Why do I have to be over-weight?? Sure I had a kid---no excuse really. I see how some moms have kids and they look exactly like they were before having kids--or BETTER. Me on the other hand, not so lucky...I am the heaviest I've been before having a kiddo. It is just annoying. I worked out and was doing good there and eating less, but then that affected my Hypoglycemic tendencies. So then I ate more and still worked out here and there--and it just doesn't seem to be working. I swear I have gained more since I have tried to watch what I eat. It is just annoying to think you are eating better and then get on the scale and see that you've gained three pounds!! I don't care if I have a few curves...but I still want to feel somewhat good about myself---more confident. I guess I am just around ridiculously skinny people a lot--*no names Rachel, Becky, Kym, Kalab, Kris--pretty much all Mullins's except me*...and I just feel like a whale most of the time...

Plus sometimes when I hear people talk about other people saying they are fat or chubby---and knowing with no doubt that I am bigger and heavier-- makes me wonder what they think about me. I don't want to have the perfect body--though yes that would be nice-- I just want to be healthier and more confident. When you see me, you'll most likely see me in a hoodie, jacket, T-shirt and jeans. Yes, they are comfortable and have always been my favorite type of clothing--not the most stylish on earth--but at the same time it "hides" yucky rolls :] or so I think :]


So all you people who have a good metabolism-- BE GRATEFUL! :]




Just how I'm feeling...I'll get over it eventually :]
