Here's my little bugg on the right...Isn't he cute?!!!! I LOVE this picture I think he looks a lot like me there when I was little, but he is such a cutie. I love being a mom...Anyways, I'll get off my soap box....

Dez and Geoff came out for Spring Break. They came the week before Easter. It was really fun. We went to one of my dear friends Wedding Receptions out in Bountiful Utah--Sarah; which I wished I would've gotten a picture of her and myself. (Her dress was amazing) Dez, Geoff, Chase, Kris, Declan, and myself all went in my car that weekend. Poor Chase had to sit in the back like a dog there and back...with no seat belt, but it was still a fun trip I thought. My college friends were all there that I hardily ever get to see. It was fun seeing how much everyone has changed and what is new with everyone's lifes. I have a friend, Holly, who is pregnant. She looks very pretty and only has til' May before she has a little boy of her own. I am very excited for her. Beezer (Belinda is her actual name), is just hilarious and goofy and I miss her crazy-ness. It was nice to be with my family. The next day the Ellsworth's Clan came in to Green River and we all went to dinner and watched "Horton Hears a Who." I liked it a lot. Those kind of animation movies are my favorite to watch. Dez and Geoff went back to Arizona for the last two months. Geoff is graduating Law School in May...and will move back to Utah. Pretty exciting stuff

Then Easter weekend came. That Saturday, The Mulllins's Clan went out to the shooting rang to have a picnic out in Fire Hole and to shoot their bows. Well, where we usually go had quite a bit of snow and mud and, go figure, some wind. So, we decided to go somewhere else. Kris's dad pointed out a dry dirt road down the road, so that is where we headed. They built a fire on a side of a hill to block the wind(mostly thinking of the baby Mr. Goober), and that's where we roasted hot dogs, marshmellows...etc. It was Declan's first official Picnic!! ;] He sat in the car seat most of the time though. It was still kind of chilly, but it was really fun even if it was cold.

Declan is really getting quite playful and funny He is starting to talk (baby talk) quite a bit. He giggles, grabs your face. He talks to himself sometimes until he falls asleep...I love it. Trys to talk to get my attention and I swear sometimes he says "Mom...?"<--Kind of like "Where are you?" It really is the best thing ever to have a child. It is crazy how much he changes with weight, length, motor skills, and especially personality. He really has discovered his hands and is quite fond of sucking on them and shoving them in his mouth--trying to suck on both at the same time is really funny. He gets kind of frustrated that he can not fit both in his mouth :]

Declan is also entertained by the TV most of the time because of all the colors and movement. Pretty funny. We have taken him to quite a bit of movies to he movie theatre and he seems to like it a lot...because that screen is even bigger than ours!! He is also trying to sit up on his own; just a really strong baby and is getting stronger and stronger everyday.

:p --LAteR!!!

mY nEw CaR!!!!!

Hey....I have a great story for you that is kind of embarrassing at the same time because of my behavior. Here it goes:

See that car above?? Well, I have been wanting to trade in my Mini S Cooper for quite some time. The mini is so fun and so good on gas, but just is not a winter car and not the safest car ever. So, I have just been looking for something new and affordable.

I was looking on the Internet at either a Toyota Rav-4 or this Honda CR-V. So I finally decided that I wanted the Honda CR-V. Really good on gas, four door, and cute. Kris calls it a "bubble."

We were at the Honda/Toyota Shop in Rock Springs and we have quite the "hook-up" there. The Mullins are famous for getting a new car or something at least once a year(or something like that)...Well, I filled out a loan application there through Honda and started to get this thing going.

Brandon, that is the car dealer, called and said the best I could get was 11%. There was maybe a slight chance we would go for that and refinance it later. So I told him I would talk to Kris.

We then decided to go try at our bank. The best we got there was 9%, that is if the manager would go for it because our dept ratio was like 10% higher than they would like it to be at, (because of our house that we are flipping); which 9% sounded great compared to 11%. But, sadly enough they denied it and wouldn't loan us the money. They said that if we didn't have the house payment I could have definitely got it.

So, I was bummed to say the least. Kris went over to talk to Brandon. Kris told me that he said to Brandon, "Well, that is higher than we would like, so we'll see ya in six months after we go to Africa." I was kind of embarrassed because Kris said he got kind of onry with Brandon. So, I was like, "Well, he will not want to sell us a car when the time comes if you were a jerk to him."

Anyway, the car was supposed to be my Valentines gift. Now, since I was not getting the car, I text Kris and said, "Hey, since the car was considered my Valentines' gift...what are you going to get me now? I got to say I am kind of bummed, but oh well..."

Last Friday Kris said, "Lets take the mini to Rock Springs and drive it around because we need to get the battery going, plus the FJ is almost out of gas." I was okay with it, and then I started driving it and I realized we haven't got it re-registered-the tag was way expired(because it's been sitting there since I had Declan). I was nervous and said, "What if I get pulled over, should I turn back?!" Kris said, "Oh I forgot about that, don't worry. You won't. Even if you do the ticket will only be like $20 bucks." I was scared and I never thought I would here Kris say something like that about a ticket...

So, as we were heading over Kris got a text from Rachel, his sister, and she said, "Meet us at the Honda shop before we eat, I'm getting my car fixed." So, I really did not want to go let alone go in. Especially because Kris said he was kind of onry with Brandon. We got there and I saw the car I was getting outside with a temp tag...SO IT WAS SOLD!!! I was really surprised that Brandon already sold it to someone else that quick. Kris started laughing and said, "Gees, that really puts salt in the wound." Then Kris started to get out and I refused to go in. He said that I have to come in, because he didn't want to wait for Rachel and Jon alone. Kris went in and I sat in the mini just for a bit, and Kris came back out and grabbed Declan and said, "Ha, now you have to come in. I got the baby."

I did go in and I was trying to avoid Brandon. I was getting kind of annoyed waiting for Jon and a Rachel, and then seeing a couple at Brandon's desk buying MY CAR!!! It just was embarrassing. I kept on saying to Kris, "Can I please just go back to the car?" He said that Jon and Rachel wouldn't be much longer.

Then all of a sudden the couple leaves Brandon's desk and done with signing papers, and Brandon calls us over. Kris headed over and started giggling and whispers to Brandon, "She doesn't know that it's hers." Brandon smiled and said, "Oh, I can get you another one just like that," and laughed.

I was so embarrassed and looked at Kris and said, "You're a butthead." He said, "What? If this was supposed to count as your Valentine's gift, it might as well have been a surprise." :] Brandon was in on it too, and made up the intrest rate just so I would think I was not going to get it.

Now I have a brand spankin' new car...it looks exactly like the one above, just with a roof rack. I enjoy it quite a bit. We drove it the very next day to Salt Lake City to my Uncle Jim's funeral. It drives really nice. Well, that is my story of the infamous car situation. Kris did a really good job tricking me and making me think we were going to wait until Africa, and also that he was a jerk to Brandon. This was a great surprise to say the least!!! Good job Kris... ;]

Well,

Better late than ever since Valentines Day is over. I would like to take this time, since it's "Love Month", to write a few things that I love about my Kristopher....

1-- HiS sMilE:

He has a few different smiles. He has a smile that I call the "sneaky smile"; which is the one when he is telling a fib, being silly, or SNEAKY. :] The one I like the most is the one I do not really have a name for...but it usually happens when I get a hair cut that he likes, or he just seems really happy and looks at me like "WOW". I love his smile(s). It always makes me smile, even on a bad day...I love that...

2-- HiS HugGs:

Even though he says that he is not a hugger...I love it when he huggs me. One that I can recall recently was when we got back home for the first time from the hospital in Salt Lake, the weekend that I had Declan. I got home and just started bawling because I came home NOT PREGNANT and NO BABY, and saw my English Bulldog Mirra--and just started bawling. I started cleaning(because I am a little compulsive), while crying, and Kris grabbed me and just hugged me and told me to go sit down and relax. It made me relax. I just love how strong he is. Even though he is a string bean(hahhaa--kiddin'), he is very cuddly...I love that :]

3-- HiS LaUgH:

It is really funny when he laughs. He squints his face and does this little chuckle--when something really funny is said or he watched. My favorite is when we are goofing around and I try to pin him on the ground and I start tickling him(yes I cheat when we wrestle). He laughs quite a bit when I tickle him and gets to the point where he is screaming, "STOP-STOP". hahahaha!!! I love that....

4-- HiS SeNse oF HuMor:

Kris is quite the little teaser. Sometimes he teases too much-but it is what he does to show he cares(in a very odd way). He is just a really fun guy and tries to involve everyone in doing something for the day or night. He is someone that is really nice to be around, and it is not the same if he is not there. Even though he thinks that he is "not a nice person, and doesn't like people"<--so he says :]; a quote on how he teases . He tries to make a joke out of everything. Not a serious kind of guy. Very creative with his words and thinks really quick off the bat with come-backs and such. Life is too short and his goofy-ness makes it fun...and I love that... :]

5-- HiS KNoWledgE:

I really love being able to turn to Kris whenever I have a question about the gospel, or really anything; which I think is very attractive about him. He is full of gospel knowledge and I love it. Sometimes at night I will ask a very random question. He always teases and says look it up in the scriptures...but I always get an answer out of him. I am not the only one who always asks Kris about anything. It's pretty much his whole family or friends even. I am really thankful for this because when our kids get old enough I can just say, "Go to your dad." hahhaa. I really like it when he comes home and does the "Did you know...???" He does that all the time, and it really is the most random/odd things...I love that...

6-- HiS WoRk EtHic:

He reminds me a lot of my dad...always working and always doing something. He has worked a lot this month. He only got a few days off because of the weather and roads being closed, but he has had to get up at 4:30 am and go to work and not get home until 5:00 or 6:00pm; which is a great pay check, but I also miss not seeing him as much. He has also been working on our Home that we are FLIPPING to sell hopefully this Spring/Summer. It has been hard because I work at the motel and I do not get of until 4:00 if I do get off. We bought it when I was still pregnant, and now Declan's here and needs attention and it has been hard for me to help with fixing the house; which I feel bad. But, again, he is such a hard worker. Always fixing, helping, going, doing and I love that...

7-- sO TaLenTeD:

This pretty much could easily repeats his knowledge and his work ethics, but Kris is very good with making furniture or anything to that matter. He has made our entertainment center. Made our HUGE DVD shelf. He has also made things for his mom, dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and myself. What he makes is always creative and turns out really nice. He is very good with his hands. Also, as blind as he is, he is a very talented with his bow and arrow, or even a gun for that matter. He does not practice at all and he can hit the center or target with no problem. Kind of makes his dad mad :]. We are going to Africa this summer and I am excited to see him in action(because Texas was not sucessful in the animals coming around to our blind) But very talented and surprises me everyday and I love that...

8-- FaThEr:

I love how Kris is around Declan and how he talks about him and to him. When I was in labor I saw Kris in a different way. Not that is was bad, but it is just hard to describe. He is just really goofy around Declan; which Declan loves his dad. Declan reacts to his Kris's voice more than anyone's. Kris calls Declan "Mr. Goober" and it just puts a huge smile on his face. I really love seeing Kris hold Declan and talk to him and see them react to each other. Kris is a wonderful father and I love that....

9--mY bEsT FrIenD:

Kris is so much fun, he really is my best friend. I can tell him anything, even if it is stupid. He gives me advice and tries to push myself to be stronger as a person, boss, mom...just everything...and most of all I can trust him in everything. I have been through quite the doozies in my life, and I have never had any doubt in Kris and have never felt like I could not trust him; which I know there is no reason for me to not trust him. Such a relief and such a good feeling. I love that...

10--hE eAtS liKE a hOrSe:

I will admit, I am a bit jealous that Kris can eat anything he wants and he doesn't gain anything. I mean this guy can eat a huge plate of "Juevos Rancheros" and be done in 5 minutes, and that might be taking his time. hahha!!! Seriously he is like a hoover vacuum! He is very picky too with his food, but will eat anything at the same time. A bit of a weird-o, but I love that... ;]

ANyways, I can go ON AND ON, but I shall stop right there. Kris is the world to me. I know this sounds chees-ee, but I would be totally lost without him. He is my best friend and I would do anything for him and go anywhere he would want to go to further his goals in life. He is my husband, and I could not be more blessed!!!! I LOVE YOU KRIS!!!!

oUr PRophET

We all knew that this day was going to come soon...

Kris and I were at our appartment. I was cooking dinner and Kris said, "Hon, you might want to come read this..." I went into the living room and saw on the TV, the KSL News, that President Hinckley had died.

I was pretty shocked. The Prophet was old, but I thought he had a few years left in him.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, was someone I looked up to during the most difficult years of my life-- Teenage, College, and Dating. He was the one I grew up with.

I actually had the opportunity to shake his hand when I was in 6th grade. It was the Utah Centenial Celebration...June 29th, 1996. Where they put the new "This is the Place" Monuement.

Two kids were picked out of each County in Utah. You had to learn songs to perform for that event. We practiced in the Tabernacle. It was the coolest thing ever...and we sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well.

Well, I got to be right in front of the Prophet...in front of the stage. As he was leaving a few kids and myself ran over to shake his hand. He said to us all, "I really enjoyed your singing kiddos." I got to shake his hand. I will never forget that. I am very lucky for that opportunity to been able to be in the program and to witness the Prophet for myself.

I looked forward to when Conference would come around, to be able to listen to the Prophet. He had such a personality, and always made the congregation laugh. I know all the other speakers had good talks, but his is the one I really payed attention too. I loved his smile and warmth. You could just tell that, not only because he was a Prophet but just because of the person he is, that he was someone you would enjoy just being in the pressence of.

I am really going to miss seeing him and hearing him give advice and knowledge. He was unbelievably smart and caring. He accomplished much and has given much to countries around the world with Temples to worship in...I know he was a Prophet of God.

He has really made me think of family and the blessing of the Temple to be sealed together for time and all eternity. First thing everyone thinks of is that he's back with his sweet wife...and I can picture how specail that reunion was. I know that Kris and I will be together for eternity, as well as Declan and our future kids. We are truly blessed to have this knowledge and truth.

I am excited for the future and who will be called next to be the Prophet of God and of our Church. We are very lucky to know that whoever is called, is called so by God and is called for a reason....

Mullins Look-alike Meter

HAHAHAH!!!! Who would've guessed...the kid is a definite mix between us both...It says it right there...What do you think? :) This is such a cool/fun sight.

WoNdERfuL liFE

I know, I know...finally I am doing an update on what's been going on. Well, as you can see our little one came home!!!!!

Declan finally came home on November 26th. It was such a good day, and one that we were very happy to finally come. I went into the room that Declan was in and not even five minutes later his doctor came in and said, "I hear you want to take him home?" I smiled and said, "Well ya, I sure do." He then said, "Well, lets get him home today!!!" :) YAHOO!!! So, I then went and got Kris and we did all the signing and paper work that we needed to do before we could take him home.

It was so nice to see them take all the wires and gadgets that he had on him off. He looked like a normal baby now. It was so fun to put on his very first outfit from home...again, especially without have to be careful with the wires. I think he knew something different was going on. He just stared at us like, "What are you doing?"

We then headed straight home. We stopped in Evanston to give Declan a break from the car seat and also to see my Grandpa Saxton before he goes south for the winter. This is his first Great-grandchild. So, he was really excited to finally have one and get to see him. He was really funny. All smiles and kept on saying, "What a handsome guy." I tried to get him to hold him, but he didn't want to, (aka: afraid too). But, then we left shortly and headed on to Green River, HIS HOME!!!

Declan is an unbelievably good baby. He never really cries. When, if he does, it is only for a slight bit. He only cries when he has a dirty diaper, or when he is hungry; and his cries are not that loud or...just a good baby. He sleeps really well and eats really well. He was on a schedule when he first got here, but I kind of broke him of that a little--with working a job at the same time. He used to wake up every three hours, but now it is four to five; which I am giving him more milk in the bottle--which makes him happy and satisfied so far. Declan's been breathing really well, and doesn't show any sign of struggle like he used to. I am very grateful for that. I love holding him on my chest and just cuddle-ing with him. Holding him relaxes me.

Declan is really starting to mature. He looks around and stays focused for quite a while. He smiles and just moves his arms and legs a lot. Two of my favorite things that he does is he all of a sudden smiles and giggles when he's sleeping. Not kidding either. He gets a really big smile on his face and chuckles for a few seconds. It is so cute. Another thing, is when he sleeps, sometimes he "moans." It is so funny because Kris does it in his sleep and, I will admit it, I make weird noises to...people say :) Things have been going really well...

We haven't been able to take him out anywhere really; which is fine because we do not want to risk getting him sick or anything like that. The doctor said that if he gets a fever he could need to be life-flighted again...so we definitely don't want that. The doctor let him go out to Manila for my families "Christmas" though. That's them above--Mom, Declan, Dad, Ender(yorkie dog), Geoff, Valentine(yorkie dog). Dezaree, Kris, Me, Chase, Kylee. We had that on the 15th of December. It was really fun and nice to have everyone home...and to have everyone get a chance to be with Declan. We took a lot of pictures of Declan, you can see most of Christmas and his Blessing Day if you click on "My pictures" here on the sight.

Declan was blessed the very next day, the 16th, at the First Ward LDS building here in Green River. I was so excited for this day...and it is silly, but I imagined this day for quite awhile since we have been married--Kris blessing our child. I imagined this even when I was not pregnant. I know, I'm silly. It was really neat though. I started tearing up when I put Declan in his suit. He was so cute and it fit him perfectly. The suit he was wearing was the one Kris wore as well, so it has quit a sentimental value :) Isn't he handsome?? :) (he has a little smirk going on)

Kris blessed Declan, and there were quite a bit of family in the circle. There was Larry Mullins(Kris's dad), Kalab and Sam Mullins (Kris's brothers), Jon Spikes (Kris's sister's future husband), Chase Ellsworth (my brother), Geoff Chesnut (my brother-in-law), Gale Lamb (Kris's Uncle), and Robert and Tyson Ellsworth (my Uncle and his son). I surprisingly teared up a little bit, and did not cry much. I held it in though :) Kris did excellent with his words and the spirit was really strong. The circle was bigger than expected, but it was so nice to have just family in the circle. We left amediately after we took the sacrament, because we are not technically supposed to have him out yet, and to get ready for the dinner that I had for all of the family.Everyone came over and ate and visited. It was really nice--and the food was yummy :)

Dez and Geoff came out from Phoenix, and left the next day to head back. It was nice to see them. Since they've been down there we get to hardily see them. The last time I saw them was in May for Kylee's Graduation. So...thankfully Geoff is Graduating this May from ASU from Law School, and will be moved back somewhere in Utah--probably Cedar City. It was really nice to see them and have them see little Declan. They didn't get to see me have a pregnant belly at all. This is Dez and Geoff with Declan...

Yesterday was the real Christmas Day, and this time we spent it at Kris's parents house. It was really nice. I got to close the office from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Yeah, I worked on Christmas...somewhat. This job is great, because I have Declan here and it is my home, pays for bills, but at the same time--very hard and I never am really off, even if I get some time "off" and keeping employees is hard as well...I think that's the hardest thing about it here.

Anyways, I'll get off of my complaining box...back to Christmas Day. We opened presents and then ate homemade cinnamon rolls. Relaxed for awhile and then ate Christmas dinner--good -good-good! It was fun and relaxing. Also played Lord of the Rings DVD Trivial Pursuit...and I WON!!! I am just that good...

Kris and I set a limit for buying each other presents. Well, Kris went over his limit with me. He bought me a new kitchen table set, a new chandelier light for the kitchen, a sofa table--cast iron and wood that came with two lamps...earrings, movies, camera memory card, a new cell phone...he did really good :) I was quite surprised. He said he didn't go over the limit, but he did. I got him a few things--I'll admit I did go over the limit by twenty dollars, but that's just because of shipping and handling cost. I bought every single person that got a present from me, got it on the Internet because I haven't been able to go anywhere since the little ones been home :) I would've shopped before, but I was a bit occupied in November.

Declan got a lot of presents as well. He got books, music for his crib, clothes, a huge giraffe, and my sister Dez painted this picture for his wall in his bedroom with Africa animals...very cute. She's very talented. It was fun to get things for him...even if he'll never remember. I think he slept through both at my parents and at Kris's parents house. Hahah!!!

Well, my precious baby is home, and it has been so fun...and I am sure it gets funner and funner. I am very grateful for him and my husband. It was so wonderful to have him be blessed and given a name. Kris is such a wonderful husband and father. Declan reacts to his voice so much. He can just say "Hi" and Declan will turn his head to where ever it is coming from and just "wide-eyed." It is really fun seeing Kris talk to him and hold him as well.

I am thankful for the priesthood. I know the priesthood truly helped him when he was first born...and helped him be strong and stay here with us here on earth. I know that his blessing was truly heart-felt and Kris's words were inspired by the spirit. He is such a blessed, strong little one. I am excited to see him grow up. It is just crazy how much he changes everyday...what a wonderful life.

--Love you all...Kenzee Jo

This is my precious Declan Richard Mullins. He was born on Friday, November 2Nd 2007. He weighed 5 lbs. 3 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. It is absolutely overwhelming and wonderful that he is here, but unfortunately he was born five weeks early. I was only 35 weeks along; which my due date was December 5Th. Are you ready for the longest BLOGG from me??? Here's the story:

It came unexpectedly to say the least. I was just cleaning-touching up the office, dusting, and then went to the laundry room to put some dirty rags in the Motel Laundry room. Well, as I was standing there, all of a sudden I got a huge rush of liquid run down my leg and onto the floor, (good thing the floor in the Laundry room was cement because it was easy to clean up). I thought at first, "Well, this is embarrassing. Did I just pee myself?" I just stood there for a moment and realized that what I felt and what just happened was not pee, it was the moment when my water broke. Scary? Very scary...I was kind of in denial, so me being the new coming mother that I am I looked up on the Internet what happens when your water might break really quick. So, I read...and sure enough I did, with the information that I got off the Internet. However I had to hear it from somebody, so I called my mother right away and didn't really even let her say "hi" without me cutting in and saying, "What happens when your water breaks?" So, I then called the doctor's office to see if I can come in to check and make sure...so then they told me to come right in ASAP. Then I called my husband.

I called Kris and luckily he had service this day out in the desert; which he NEVER DOES--miracle right there. He answered and I was really nervous and started crying and told him, "Umm...I am pretty sure my water just broke and I'm on my way to the doctor." I could tell Kris was kind of in shock and surprise, and said, "What?". So, I called Becky and they came rushing over to pick me up and take me to the doctor...while Laura rushed over to watch the office for me. I got to the office; which I hate the doctor's office here that I go to--very, well, rude and dumb. I get there and I said, "I am here to meet the doctor on call because my water broke--and my doctor is out of town." The girl was just like, "Okay, well, take a seat and we'll send ya back in a minute." I sat there for TEN MINUTES at least!!! Ridiculous right? Sure enough doctor said go over to the hospital, get checked in and you are going to have a kid today. UGH!!! Just imagine what I felt...I was not ready in anyway what so ever for him to be here yet--no crib set up--no car seat--room not ready....NOTHING!!! Seriously Kris and I planned on getting things ready the next day, Saturday the 3Rd.

So, I went into labor. I can not honestly tell you when I really started to feel the pain, but, yeah it hurts. It felt a lot like kidney stones to me, but more intense because my contractions were right on top of each other--seriously to. No time to breathe, nothing. Ouch--so I gave in to the Epidural. Pretty great drug if I do say so myself. I couldn't even lift up my right leg, I could my left a little, but my right was quite the struggle; which then they later had to stop the Epidural because it was working a little to well for me. Kind of funny. Really relaxed me, actually fell asleep kind of for a bit<--while in labor. But, I kept on saying I was feeling pressure and his head was right there, but the nurses did not want me to start pushing; which I think was a big mistake, because the doctor came in later and said, "Let's go!" He also said to them that they waited way to long to get me going, I was ready a long time ago. But, I finally went into the delivery room--scary room kind of. All tile and just huge lights looking at ya. So, pushing time came and it didn't take long at all. Maybe five pushes tops...can not really remember. It was the weirdest thing I have ever gone through. Very weird to not feel him inside me anymore. I will admit it that I miss it terribly because at least he was still here with me.

Declan came into the world at 5:33pm that day. He came into the world with a struggle and quite a trial to say the least. He had breathing problems; which is due to the fact he's five weeks early. But he had a breathing thing put over his head--a humidifier. Declan cried and groaned and just looked like it hurt to breathe...and it was horrible to see. I went in after getting cleaned and into a clean gown and when I saw him I lost all my composure and started crying quite a bit. I felt horrible to say the least. But oddly enough, I never really got a bad-bad feeling about him. I knew that everything was going to be okay, but I just hated that Declan had to go through this and I could not do anything about it.
He was life flighted to SLC to the University Hospital in the New Born ICU. Both Kris and I got to go on the plane with the little guy. It was a very smooth-nice-fast trip. Took us maybe 30-40 minutes to get to SLC.

We landed in the SLC airport, and then was picked up by a ambulance that took us up to the University Hospital. We followed behind Declan as they took him in the ICU. They told us to wait in the waiting room, and wonderfully enough the doctors came back out in like less than 30 minutes to give us somewhat of good news. The doctor said that he had Pneumonia, that's why he is working so hard to breathe because of all the fluid in his lungs. I had a very calm feeling come over me, and it's not great that he got sick, but great that they knew what was wrong and it can be fixed.
So, this was Saturday that the little guy was life flighted...one day old :( Kris and I spent the night at the hospital in a "Parent Room." It was not that comfortable, but at least they let us stay there for the night. We both have wonderful families that all came up to come and see him and show their support. Everyone got to see him, for the most part...except for Chase. He was kind of sick and they have a sign that said if you are slightly sick, to please not come in. So, maybe when we go back tomorrow for the weekend Chase is feeling better and can see Declan.
The day before we left he had improved quite a bit--Monday. Still not great, but better. He was moved into a more calmer room, like a nursery. He has his own little corner. Very grateful that he was taken off the air support and just had the little tubes by his nose for some support. Still on some antibiotics for his lungs, but will be done with that this weekend hopefully.

I can not believe how strong this baby is. He has gone through so much, and he just keeps on trucking on and improving; which I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. I did not imagine that this would happen to me. It has been truly humbling and eye awakening. I could not be more blessed to be able to have a baby boy in my life--who is being so strong and fighting so hard to be here with us. Kris and I have gotten stronger and closer, in a different way. Not that we were not close before, but it has changed us in ways that is hard to explain...

I know when I can not hold my baby, Heavenly Father is there to hold him for me. I hate being away from him--and having to wait to go back every weekend. I wish I could stay there all day long, everyday until he comes home. It was very hard to leave the other day. I kept on saying goodbye and walking back and touching him one more time and looking at him one more time. Luckily I got to hold him for three hours before we left for home. It was such a good feeling to hold him against my chest and be able to kiss his little forehead all I wanted. It was very hard not to cry and lose it going home, but I tried to be strong.

Declan is quite the mix of Kris and I. Declan definitely has Kris's body. Very long, big hands and feet. His feet already are the length of my palm. I do not have the biggest hands, but that is big to me. I think he has more of my features on his face...but then I see Kris in him too. He has my small ears also :) Such a cute little bug. Also was born with quite a bit of hair. Very dark when he came out with a little curl to it,(he inherited that from both of us).

I want to thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers. I know that prayer truly helped him, myself, and Kris--such a powerful thing that is taken for granted sometimes. I will keep you posted further along. They say his release date is DUE DATE, but they say that just so you do not get your hopes up; which is fine with me. I hate not having him here by my side, but I would rather have him be 100% before he goes home. Kris and I are saying he will be home around Thanksgiving, but we shall see.

I love my little Declan. He is such a blessing--and I am going to hold him so tightly when I get him home and do my best to protect him and provide for him. You are loved so very much my baby boy!!

hApPY hAlLoWeEN!!!!

Hey...it's Halloween!!! I have to admit that this is one of my favorite Holidays--but Christmas is the ULTIMATE. I really love Fall....the weather is not to hot, not to cold...perfect for a Hoodie :) <---(I wear a hoodie in the summer sometimes...I'm crazy). Then the colors--Oh so nice! Red, Orange, Yellow leaves--just beautiful.

I really like scary movies too! I like being scared I guess...not in real life situations, but you know-- I'd have to say the one movie that scared me the worst for some odd reason was the "Ring." It was my Freshman year down in Cedar City, SUU, and I went with a bunch of people. I got so freaked out by the dumb girl in the movie, that I couldn't really go to sleep or look at a TV without thinking a little girl was going to crawl out and get me!!! I was living with Dez and Geoff, and they thought I was just being weird, but then Geoff went and watched it and he admitted it was kind of FREAKY-ISH.

Kris's mom said when he was little Halloween was his favorite, and he said when he got married--imagine an eight year old boy saying this, that the wedding colors would be ORANGE AND BLACK!!! hahahha...Didn't work out that way, but funny! Kris brought it up when we were getting the wedding ready. It is a funny story I think.

So I have to work all day today, tomorrow, ETC...but I'm excited for kids to come to the Motel and give them candy. It was fun doing this when I was little. Always had the best costumes. I can't wait to dress Declan up next year. By this time next year he'll be almost a year old. Crazy...but dressing him up will be fun!!!

Kris is going to go with all his buddies and go see "SAW 4." Such weird-demented-sick movies...yucky-yucky. Very creepy. Yes, and Rated "R"...yes I've seen all three <--hahhaa!! Don't know why...but it's that time of the year I guess. My rebel-ness coming out.

Anyways...I am having my "Baby Shower" on November 10th--next weekend. Pretty exciting to get to that point. It's almost here, and I'm getting excited and do not know what to think--kind of nervous for knowing when I'm actually in Labor, but I'm sure things will work out and be fine. I'll post after the BAby ShowER!! My mom is putting it together. I am excited :) HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!!

My PaRenTS

...I have been thinking a lot, and I just want to write a little something-something on how I feel about my amazing parents.

THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!!!!

...Mom and dad, I really appreciate all that you have done and STILL do for me. I know I am who I am because of both of you. I have the love, tenderness, and compassion that comes from both of you that is very hard to find and see in people as often as you two.
...Mom and dad, you give and give and do not ask for anything in return. I am about to be a parent myself, scary I know, and I am just hoping and praying that I will be half the parents you, mom and dad, are to me. I have learned so much from you faith wise, knowledge wise, artistic wise, sports wise, music wise and I am so thankful that I have both of you in my life being the examples that you have always been to me.
...I am grateful that you put up with my little onry/hard headed-ness that I HAD(no longer have..."a-thank you")Not to mention, sorry about that....

--I bet every single one of you are saying "yeah right, HAD" hee-hee!! ;) You are welcome for the little giggle...

... I wish I could take all the pain and hurt away that you are going through right now. I truely would if I could. I know all things shall pass. Things that have gone on are HORRIBLE to go through, but you BOTH are very strong and deserve the best and will receive the best...and not to mention, you have a very mean-fiesty daughter to back you up ;)!!! -(that would be me not Kylee...maybe Dez though...Chase, well...)-
...I love you MOM AND DAD, more than you will ever know. Thank you for every single thing. I know you both worked so hard for all of us kids to have the good life that we had growing up. I admire you both for being who you are, and always being true to yourselves. LOVE YOU BOTH!

What is the baby????

Well,

Long time no writty ;) I have been busy...back off!! No just kidding, but seriously I have I guess. Oh! Plus the computer here in the office had a GI-NORMOUS virous and we got it fixed now...those are my excuses and that's-that.

I'm sure everyone knows what the little thing in my body is...but I'll announce it anyways since that is the only thing that has been going on lately. SO, IT'S A BOY!!! I knew it was. I was mostly teasing and wanting to say it was a girl, the opposite of Kris, because he was SO dead set on a boy since we got married. Not that there's anything wrong with a boy, but it's fun ;)

I went and found out on July 18th. Kris, mom, Kylee, and mom Mullins were all there for the event. It was quite fun and weird to think that there is actually a baby in me. We went in about 3:30 and came out at 5:30...I think. It's a boy for sure, NO DOUBT about that. (if you know what I mean). hahahaa!!!

We aren't dead set on a name yet, but we have one in mind. It's fun getting clothes and such for the little guy. Crazy to get little clothes and then bigger and bigger clothes for the future. I guess they grow quickly, so we'll see :) I'm going to do the baby room in a Africa theme, animals and such. The bedroom is already painted orange like this font color on here...with sponged brown/orangish color. So, it kind of looks like a Giraff already :) It will be cute. I am getting really excited and still can not believe that I am going to have a baby.

I watch the TLC channel every single day. I watch "Baby Story" and such things like that. I used to watch it every now and then even before marriage (with out crying), but now I watch it all the time, (and can not- NOT cry when a baby is born). Good thing Kris is at work when the show is on or he'd think I was going coo-coo. Well, more coo-coo then he already thinks I am.

I am very luck and blessed though. Pregnancy is a crazy thing and such a miracle. Really. I have a living thing growing in me...weird how it all works. The kid is a soccer player, football, kick boxing...whatever, already. Kicks the heck out of my bladder and stomache. It is the craziest feeling ever, but it makes me smile everytime I feel a thud.

All-in-all it's the same ol' thing. Work, work and more work. It's very hard at times. Employees are very hard to keep or to trust for that matter. I haven't been having that much of luck, but I'm surviving :) Kris is doing well. He works-works and works as well. Mirra, well, she has the life I think. Sleeps, eats, naps, eats....slobbers on everything. She is fun though. Such a cuddle bug. We'll see how she takes on the new baby thing. I think that she notices something is different already because I never let her sleep on my stomache anymore like I used too... ;)

I'll keep you posted, better than I have been ;) LOVE YOU ALL!!!

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...

Kenzee Jo and Kris

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
