GUess WhAT!?

Hey....Hey....Hey!

Long time no writty. We've been kind of busy the last few weeks. Kris is still working as a Land Surveyor for D. R. Griffin in RockSprings. He works quite a bit of hours, and comes back kind of stinky, but it's well worth it :)

Me? Well, I am doing the same ol' Motel business thing; Manager/Boss :) I work long hours too, but I don't come back stinky like Kris...so we even out each other quite a bit. I actually have quite a bit of help in housekeeping right now (knock on wood that nobody quites or anything)....BUT, I'm lacking help in the office right now. I only have one working for me. He works quite a bit for me, but says he needs the hours. I just feel like I work him too much, but then if something happens and he can't come in or needs a day off...I have to work :( So here soon I'm going to start training two new girlies. They seem like they will work out great.

I've been working quite a bit this month. This is so I can go to TEXAS at the end of this month/beginning of May. I am excited! I can honestly say I have never dreamed or said to myself, "I want to go to Texas." But, it's something to do I guess and it'll be fun. Another plane ride for me...OH!! and Sea World of corse!!! :)

Anything else....well, you might be wondering why I have a picture of a blue eyed baby on the page??? Well, I'M PREGNANT!!!! :) I honestly never thought in a million years that it would happen for me this soon. Not that this is a bad thing, because it's not at all...I'm really excited and truly blessed. I just thought it would take awhile like it does for the rest of my family.

I notice I was getting waves of the "icky/ I wanna throw-up" feeling here and there. Whenever I would work out and do sit-ups I felt like my stomache would burn way quicker...but definately in a different way like I was pulling on something. SO...mom, dad, and Kylee came in on April 6th to watch the movie "Blades of Glory," in the movie theatre in Rocksprings. They hurried and dropped off a puppy to me to give to one of my employees that wanted one...and went to the movie and was going to meet up with us after that because Kris and I have already seen it.

While they were gone...(I didn't plan this at all, it was totally out of the blue), Kris and I went to Smith's to buy a pregnancy test. Ironically Smith's didn't have any left!! So we went next door to PAMIDA really quick and...ironically again, there was actually only one test left (E.P.T.) and only came with one test in it!!! I looked at Kris and I said, "Is this a sign or something?" :) ha

So, right when I got home I followed the instructions, and put a timer on my microwave...I waited two whole minutes for it to go off...and then I ran into the bathroom. I looked at it, and I forgot what positive meant?? So, I looked at it again just thinking and my eyes just got really big and I couldn't stop smiling!! It was positive. Then I went out and looked at Kris and told him to come here and read it for me. He looked at me and said, "what???"

After he looked at it he went and got the instructions and said, "See only 99% accurate. You are one of the 1%" It was funny, then he hugged me and we smooched ;) *blush* So, I went to the doctors office on April 11th and did the cup thing. I was kind of nervous and really hoped I was pregnant because that would've been kind of sucky to get a false/positive....and get my hopes all up for nothing. They took it and not even five seconds later the nurse came out and said, "okay, it's positive." I was the only one back there at the time, and I said, "are you sure that's my pee?" She looked at me and I just started giggling and I said, "No. I'm kidding...."

That's my news!! I'm not sure when it is due yet or how far along I am. I have to figure out what day and have my mother in law come in or sister in law to cover the office for a sec. :) Since it's not fun calling the baby "it" we named it Hopper. Like Grasshopper. That's what Kris and his mom came up with. His nick-name was Krishopper when he was little....so yeah. Kris says it's a boy, and I say it's a girl. Not that it matters, but...who knows, it's fun!! :)

FIrst TIme FlyING!!!

Hello everyone!!
I have not posted anything for quite a bit, (my bad). Nothing really new in my life...so that's why you have not seen a post in awhile. Well, let me see...what have I done lately you ask? Well, there is one thing. I FLEW TO PHOENIX TO SEE DEZ AND GEOFF!! It was my first time flying. Sad, yes, I am twenty-two and a half now (hee-hee; I wrote half), and I just barely have flown for the first time in my life. I was the only one that hadn't yet in my family. Yeah, my family goes places without me. Kind of rude, I know :) We flew Delta. It was great fun. To tell you the truth the first take off kind of blew me away how fast we were going and how quickly the ground was getting smaller and smaller. Kind of freaked me out at first, but when we flew back it was a piece of cake. Felt like I was a pro :) ...and yes, I sat by the window there and back, while Kris had to sit by strange men both times...hahahhaaah!!
We stayed at Chase's house the night before we left. We had a flight at 8:30 am, so that was nice to be able to stay in Salt Lake the night before so we didn't have to wake up way before the sun would come up. We went and ate out that night....yum-yum-yum. Foods great. I just wish it wouldn't make you fat :) It was nice to see Chism and hang-out with him though. I do miss seeing him. OH! I did something dumb that night while we were sleeping. I am not used to sleeping anywhere else but at the Motel in our apartment, right? SO, I was sound asleep and I swore I heard the buzzer ring(that means I need to get up and go see what the customer wants). So I started to get up and I freaked out. I was not at the Motel and had to think for a second where the heck I was at. Yeah, I'm weird. Then I laughed at myself and went back to bed. Then morning came and Chase dropped us off at the airport, so we didn't have to pay for parking. What a nice brother :)
So we arrived in Phoenix. Dez and Geoff picked us up. Then we mostly just hung-out. Didn't really do anything new. It was nice and relaxing. Oh, did I fail to mention that it was 85 degrees the whole time. Quite a drastic change from below (way below) zero, to 85 DEGREES!! It was nice. I'm not a big heat fanatic, but it was nice.
We went to Dez's work. It was the normal Fashion Bug. A lot a clothes....but what was funny is they had Swedish fish by the jewelery. hahahhhaa!! I never seen that before. Candy at Fashion Bug, who knew!! So, then we went to see their apartment. It was quite nice. Very homey. Then again, Dez makes anything home-ie. She's quite crafty:) Their kids, (the puppies) , were cute as ever. Such a difference between them, yorkies, and our Mira (English bulldog). Who is a lot fatter, thicker, bigger, taller, slobbery-er, eats a lot more, poops a whole heck of a lot bigger...sorry I went to far there. But anyways...they're cute little things. It did make me miss Mira while we were there. Sorry Kalab and Kym for Mira's bodily functions. She can clear a room!! Hahahaha!
We ate out quite a bit when we were there. I had the best burger I've ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE at "The Red Kilt." It was delicious, (now I'm hungry, dang it). We also watched the movie "Breach." It was a really good movie. But we watched it at 9:35 pm, and I'm turning into a grandma, and I fell asleep for a few minutes...BUT what I saw of the movie was really good.
Sunday came, and no, we didn't go to church. Kris and I didn't bring any churh clothes. I know, I know "sinners we are," but oh well. It turned out to be quite a "lazy do nothing day" really. Kris and Geoff played Playstation 3 ALL DAY LONG, while Dez and I watched movies in here bedroom. OH!! She cut and dyed my hair also. She mostly just trimmed it, but now my hair is kind of red, with gold highlights. It's nice. I'm getting used to it now, and I like it quite a bit. THANKS DEZ!! Then I wanted to do something, so we went to the Mesa Temple. It was nice, and very beautiful. I didn't realize that they had a visitors center, so we went in. We were lucky enough the watch the new "Joseph Smith" movie. I bawled of course. Very spiritual. It was a happy/sad movie. Joseph Smith was truly a blessing, and a strong person indeed. :)
So, that was it. Left the next morning at 7:34 am. Didn't stay in SLC that long. Chase picked us up. Hung out for a bit and watch the funny parts of Nacho Libre!! hahhaha!! Great!!! Then, we headed home. Now I'm here. Sitting in the office. Wishing it was a least spring, not so much hot-ness, but spring. WOW I wrote a lot. I better stop. Thanks Dez and Geoff for having us!! It was great and we'll do it again sometime before you leave Phoenix. Thanks Chase for having us and giving me a banana when I was hungry :)

Later,
Kenzee Jo Mullins

My PReciouS MIrrA

So....Mirra is quite the little fire-ball. "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE PAW!" Awesome picture Chase. It makes me laugh :) Anyways, Christmas was great. I can not believe how quickly this holiday season went.
I was kind of sad to put the decorations down. I was not going to take them down until the middle or end of January, but two days ago I got the cleaning/bored "bug" in me and I put everything away. My house is naked now, but oh well.
Christmas morning I had to have to office open for an hour so the coffee addicts could come down and get their "fix"...while Kris and I, in our apartment, opened our Christmas presents we got for each other and from Mom, Dad, and Kylee. Kris gave me too much to say the least. I love EVERYTHING though. This year was really fun shopping and getting each other and everyone else presents. Even though Kris and I really did not wait til' Christmas to give each other most of the presents :) OOPSS!! ( It's just too much pressure and suspense and I had to give him a couple of early presents) :)
After we opened our presents, Kris and I went to his parents house at 8:00 a.m. where all of the siblings, spouses, and two nephews were there. Again, had fun giving and recieving. We stayed here until like 12:00 p.m. and went back to the Motel and relaxed before going back again to eat the Mullins Christmas dinner.
The office was pleasantly quiet. Thank goodness. Needed that. No one called and no one came in until like 8:00 p.m.. So I got a good break.
Then work-work-work waiting for the anticipation of going out to Manila to see everyone and give and get MORE PRESENTS!! It was fun. I was kind of tired that day and when we put in the new Super Man movie... I fell asleep for most of it, but it seemed like a good movie :) We took Mirra, and as you can see, she had a blast in the snow with Mader. It was crazy how deep the snow was getting before we had to leave back to Green River. We were thinking we weren't going to make it and would have to turn back to Manila, but they plowed the roads and it was alright. Still alive, obviously.
Then mom, dad, Kylee, Chase, and Jenny all came out to Green River. We watched "Night at the Museum," and it was great. Really funny!! It was really fun to be with everyone and hearing (pretty much) mostly our family laughing during the movie...or maybe that was just me laughing :) Great.
Well, it's 2007 now. Kris and I are getting old and tired. I had the night covered to at least see "the ball drop" and it turn 2007...but we whoosed out at 10:00 pm and went back to the Motel...and quickly fell asleep to a movie. So, I did not see 12:00 am at all, and no Kiss (tear). BUT...KYLEE'S GRADUATING!! Very cool. Weird...but cool :) How time flies. I've been graduated for five years now, and I know you're all thinking "well I've been graduated for _ _ " Weird for us all :)
OH YEAH!! CONGRADULATIONS KIERA AND FUTURE HUSBAND ROBERT JACKSON...very exciting!!!

WE love you ALL...

It'S THE moSt WonDERFUl TiMe Of the YeaR

Just getting ready for CHRISTMAS!! It is my favorite time of the year, by far. I just love the deocrations and the Christmas spirit that it brings. This year is especially fun having my own tree, (thanks mom for giving me one of your ten trees--aha haaa), and it's our first christmas married. I really enjoy getting crafting and decorative when I can. With this job I really do not get to shop really for myself, so it has been quite fun getting christmas decorations. Kris does not really get the whole point of buying things you only put up once a year...but boys buy tools and they seem to sit around more than be used...kind of like only being used once a year :) Just kidding Kris, Love ya!
Anyways, I am still getting used to being "boss." It is hard to tell people if they have done something wrong, or if they need to do something, but hopefully I will overcome that. I always think and know what to say, but when the time comes I just smile and let it go; which could be good and bad. I just do not want to be dis-liked I guess.
Thanksgiving was good. Kris and I left Green River a little after 11:00 am, and got to Manila around 12:00pm. It was good to spend the little time that we had with mom, dad, Kylee, grandma, and grandpa. We had to leave at 3:00 so I could get back by 4:00 so I could let people check-in. This job is great, but not that great in the direction of getting time off, or going somewhere. Just like everyone, except kris and I, will probably go to Arizona for Christmas. :( BUMMER!!!!
Then the next day we had Thanksgiving dinner with the whole Mullin's family. That was really nice too...we took a family picture with everyone and then took individual couple pictures...and I ate a lot!! :)
Kris and I kind of have had our Christmas already. It has been going on for the past few days. He has been giving me presents here and there since before Thanksgiving. Then two of his presents that I got him came, (his Jospeh Smith ring, and Poker hoodie). I could not wait and just gave it to him the other day:) Then we went out to a movie, STRANGER THAN FICTION; which I highly recommend. I tried so hard not to cry, but did of corse, but not like my body wanted to. I mean, I was so sad my body wanted to cry like a baby like "WHAAAA" and the little gasping in between, you know what I mean? It is a good movie, Will Farrell did excellent...
Back to the other story. Before the movie we went to the Mall and went to Samuels (where I got my wedding ring). His good friend works there and gave us a major deal on my ring. We were looking at rings for Kris, since he lost the first one I gave him, and got him a really nice-new wedding ring :); and with a killer deal again!! So, it's been fun with the giving and getting presents. One of the coolest gifts that he gave me, and I almost started crying(weird)....just imagine for a second...Jack Black (aka Nacho Libre) on that little motor bike-thingy that he drives, sitting on it :) FUNNY ALREADY :) Then to top it off it has his autograph!! SO COOL! It was just happy tears....
CHRISTMAS IS GREAT!! I hope everyone is having a good time...and most of all remembering our Savior Jesus Christ. What a blessing.

Isn'T MY HUSband HOTT??

Well,
Sorry it's been awhile since I have posted anything. Life is still going as planned and such...whatever plan that may be :)
Kris has been hunting this past week. This is him on the right, wearing his usual hunting outfit!! HA HA! He went out Saturday morning and brought back a three by four point; which it is a pretty good size deer. He went hunting South here of Green River, on the Wyoming Flaming Gorge side on Highway 91. He shot it with his rifle, through some trees and off a cliff. He was literally shooting at this deer straight down, and hit it with no problem.
So, to be able to go get this deer, he had to climb down the mountain/cliff....climb back up...(I think this is how the story goes), but if not it's a good one! :) Then they were ready to head back to Green River, and then his dad thought he would go look for a second somewhere and he found an even bigger deer. I mean, this deer was a fatty-fat-fat, and put Kris' to shame (sorry Kris, mostly teasing you, but kind of true at the same time) :) It was, as Kris put it himself, the "Godzilla Deer". It was still a three by four, but it was fat and the horns were taller and wider...but Kris' deer is still a good size (had to redeem myself).
Well, I would be happy to show you some pictures of Kris and his deer, but the picture was taken with a regular camera...not a digital one. So, I can not show you until they are developed.
As for me, I am quite a boring person and really do not get to do anything that I think is worth talking about. OH! NACHO LIBRE came out yesturday!! It is one of the greatest movies (makes me giggle out loudly). I think Jack Black is hilarious, and I want to buy this movie and I highly recommend it!! If you do not like it, then you are weird and do not have a sense of humor...Just kiddin'...or am I? :)

LATER!!

HAppY BirTHDay SwEEtie

Today is my sweeties birthday!! Today, October 7th twenty-five years ago, Kristopher Darrell Mullins was born in Vernal Utah. Kris is a twin with a brother named Kalab. I did not really do much for my husband's birthday, but I would just like to write and let you all know how much I love him. Kris is the most incredible person I know. I am so blessed and greatful that he is in my life and that he is my husband for eternity. He is amazingly smart and talented, and most importantly, full of GOSPEL KNOWLEDGE. I have learned so much from him, and he makes me a better person. I would just like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I love you so much, and what a wonderful husband/friend you are to me!! I love you :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY----HAPPY BIRTHDAY----HAPPY BIRTHDAY----HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

LOVE,

Your Wife :)

HeRE We GO!!!

Hola Mi Amigos y Familia,
That's Hello my friends and family for those of you who don't know Espanol...sorry Spanish!! :) Alright, well, here I am being like my other siblings and doing a blog. I am not quite sure how to do all of this, but Kris will have to help me out.
We are doing quite well here in Green River Wyoming. It is really gloomy today, looks like it going to rain perhaps; which I do not mind at all. This is my favorite kind of weather!! I love it!! It makes me feel all cozy and snuggly inside. Weird I know, but what can you do...
Anyways, we are still managing a Motel called Sweet Dreams Inn. It is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am still getting used to the whole being the "BOSS" thing. It is especially a challenge for me standing up for myself and putting customers and employees in "their place" to put it nicely. I've actually had to fire a few people and that was hard. I am a whoosh when it comes to that.
Kris is doing good. Staying busy being a land surveyor, and being the maitenance guy here at the Motel. He went bow hunting, did not get anything...so he might go rifle hunting and bring home some meat!!
Mirra, our four month old english bulldog, is doing good. Getting really big-- snores a lot, and makes quite a bit of noise coming from her mouth (burp) and bottom (farts). Dez, your right, she is like an old man with her bodily functions!! :) Well, I better get back to work before my boss walks in...oh wait! I am the boss, silly me. This is the start of our BLOG!!
Love you ALL!

Kenzee Jo
