WICKED!

Just got home from Denver, it was fun i recommend to everyone to go and see WICKED! it was amazing. I loved every minute of it. we were worried about getting home because it was cold, windy and snowing(18') when we left we lucked out after 2 flight cancellations we were able to fly stand by. but we are home now and cant wait to see it again someday! now i have to get ready for Halloween!!!

What a month....

OK so an update is in order...

October started off slow Kayla's 14Th birthday, Ruby having puppies so we thought that our life was pretty boring, we thought to soon. By now you have all heard i lost my grandma a week ago so that is when the may ham started. We had a lot to plan for the funeral so it was one busy, emotional ,existing week Friday was the viewing and it went off with out a glitch then Saturday came I was running late like normal and was so stressed out that we were going to miss the family prayer, but we made it just in time. Then came the flood of memories form the funeral so poor Derek got to sit between my mom, sister and I (who are both criers like me) for the hole 2 hour funeral while we cried and cried and cried, what a sport he was because the hole time he was not feeling well with and upset stomach (this will come into play later.) So after the grave site service Derek my brother Kris and his girlfriend Jessie and I st oped at the Mav to get a drink which was quite hilarious walking into a church with pop and my hole family looking at you like your some kind of hellion for drinking pop. After we ate Derek and I Had to Run uptown for a wedding reception for a lady I work with I just have to give Mel kudos for the reception it was one of the best I have ever been to. Derek at this point is still not feeling good and needs to leave this is about 8:00pm so we get home and he is laying on the couch and is still complaining of an upset stomach so I tell him to just go to bed and sleep it off so about 2 am he gets out of bed, I figure that he just cant sleep and is going to watch TV so I went back to sleep so about 4am he came back up stairs to ask if he can take some ibuprofen for the pain… so at this point I know its bad so we make a call to his parents to see if they can come give him a blessing, so Bob and Shauna get down to our House about 4:35 so about 10 min after they arrive we make the group decision that Derek needs to go to the hospital. So we have to go clear to TimpView Hospitals ER we get their and they run some test and we find out that he has Appendicitis's and he need an emergency appendectomy to remove his appendix… so they told us that the surgery would take place 9am this left no time for one of Derek's brothers to come help his dad give him a blessing so I was able to call on some wonderful friends that we know from our ward. (Patrick and Shyla thank you so much for all your help on Sunday we really appreciate it and sorry for waking you so early on a Sunday morning) so they came to help give Derek a blessing and also went to our house and let our dogs out side to go potty and got our primary book to the president this makes me so grateful that we have amazing friends like the Lucky's! so after they took off Derek's brother Cory shows up and shortly after that they moved us up to a larger room to wait for the DR. who was at another hospital still in surgery so finally around 1pm the DR. shows up and they took Derek is for surgery right after they wheeled Derek down his other brother Jason and his sister showed up as well. The surgery went well and we were finally discharged around 10pm Sunday night… now comes the long recovery process for Derek.

I just want to say thank you to all the calls, emails and post on our behalf this weekend has been one for the books but I don’t think I could have pushed through with out all the support we have received from our family, friend and or ward. Thank you all so much. I think now all I want is for a very boring weekend but I know that will not come till the first of the year.

Love always

McKenzie

I'm Back!!!!!

OK so the last few months of our life have been a little crazy so ill start from the beginning and move forward.

In October of 2008 I got a new job!! Which I love I do believe I am meant to be were I am at now.

In November it was pretty quiet.

December was full of excitement and nerves first my parent took us on our cruise for Christmas. It was so much fun, we were gone for a full week and to tell you the truth it was not quite long enough. We had so much fun climbing up May filled falls in Jamaica then going out for authentic “Jerk Chicken” I was so apprehensive about eating food from another country with no health food laws that I did not eat as much as everyone else. Then we went to Grand Carmen we were suppose to swim with the stingrays but the wind was to strong to permit it so we snorkeled near by. Then did a little shopping.
At our last stop Cozumel, Mexico we did a 6-hour drift snorkel it was absolutely beautiful and would go back in a hart beat everyone was so nice and hospitable. We had a total of 3 days at sea all we did on those days were lay out on the deck and get some sun then at night we would go to dinner and the hit one of the many shows. It was so much fun that I am trying to convince Derek to take me again next year.

Then Christmas cam and went (it was not as exciting as other years because we did just have a fantastic vacation) but I do have to say that it was memorable year because we got to spend it in our new home!!!

In the next few months we began the painting of the house it was a huge project and some of the room are still not done (I will tackle them this winter)

Then in April we had a bundle of joy enter into our life… No I did not have a baby or adopt but our baby Sammie had 3 puppies!! They are so cute we finally should the last of them a few weeks ago and now we have good news again… Our other baby Ruby should be expecting too!! And if all goes as planed we will have a bunch of boxer puppies ready for their new homes the week before Christmas (So if you know anyone who is looking to get a puppies for Christmas you know were to send them)

This summer has been jam packed of little getaways to my parent new home in St. George, camping with family and friends. We have also meet two grate couples in our ward and to say the least they boys are all a like. We are very excited to have hit it off with them and cant wait to see how much fun we have with them in the years to come!!

Again I am sorry but life got away from us so blogging was the last thing on our minds. We hope that all have had fantastic summers!!

Love always,

Kenzie

Ok, ok I know I have not posted in like almost a year life has been crazy we are getting the Internet at home so I will be back in business soon!!! Just wanted to let everyone know we are still around!

Update on the last year:

I got a new job in November which I love!

We loved our cruse it was so much fun I can wait to go again, hint hint Derek

We have meat along of the people in our ward and are very excited to be were we are at.

My parents bought a 2nd home in St. George so we have been taking full advantage of the on the weekends we can get away.

Derek has going a new position at the bank and so far is liking it (but it’s only been 2 1/2 weeks) so we are very excited about that.

Sammie had 3 puppies about 3 months ago and they have been a joy and also at times a pain.

Now ruby may be expecting a bundle and I mean a bundle of puppies this fall so can anyone say Christmas presents!? (I am not sure how I feel about this)

Derek and I are doing grate we are stronger than ever and enjoying being a couple and still hoping that a little one will grace our presents in the near future but we are enjoying the process which if any of you know me it has been along time getting to this point!!
Stay tuned and I promise more to come in the next week or so!!!!!
