Travis' car accident - November 2005

As some of you know - my hubby was in a car accident in November last year. He was coming back from getting a carpet cleaner rental at the grocery store and someone crossed the main road (claiming he didn't see my husband - it's a red truck - come on!). Travis hit the brakes and luckily it slowed him down enough to only hit the rear of the car instead of the passenger door - otherwise my hubby (and the other person) could have been seriously hurt. As it was - Travis was sore and his knee was hurt from where it hit the parking brake.
Here is the truck that was totalled by the accident. . . . .

And this is the truck we ended up purchasing after the accident.

Bandit the wonder puppy!

This is Bandit - he is a pure bred Jack Russell Terrier. He just turned one in April. He is a great dog when he wants to be! Very high energy levels - he keeps us on our toes! He is a bit of a sissy when it comes to the cold - we are just sure he should have been an Arizona dog! He crawls under any blanket you have or he will sit on the floor vent for the heater and beware if you bring out the heating pad - lol!!!

Pictures of the Beautiful Place we live in

These are some pictures of the beautiful country we live in. They are shots from our trip up on the Grand Mesa last year. We camped just in front of this shot. We had a wonderful time! It takes your breathe away!

Welcome to our blog! This will be a place to keep up-to-date on all of us in Western Colorado!

We are keeping very busy – getting ready to move. We are all very excited about this move! It is to a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage, big yard stick-built home about a mile from where we live now. Kyle is excited to have a big yard to play in – he has plans for a trampoline and a pool (along with other things) he just doesn’t have the budget for it – lol! Travis is excited to have a garage – it has been too long for him! And I am just happy to have a home with a big kitchen and the yard to do things with! The dog will like it to! Now he has somewhere to go play and not hear us yelling at him to stay in his own yard! Lol
Natalie has not seen the house yet – but she will as soon as I take pictures and send them out! Plus – we are hoping to still be able to see her in July! She is 15 now and still lives in Arizona.
Kyle turned 10 in April! I am having a hard time with that! My little man is now into double digits! Where has the time gone! He loves to play playstation – but he also loves to play football and baseball with his friends. He will be signed up wit junior football in July!
Travis and I are doing well! Travis is excelling at his job and enjoying it! He has been with West Star Aviation for six years now! And I am starting to find my place with the OB/GYN office I work at. I am realizing more and more that no matter what I have planned for my days – it just isn’t going to work out that way! We will celebrate 10 years of marriage on the 22nd of May – can you believe it!

I will update this blog when I can! This next month will be crazy but hopefully when things settle down – I will be able to post pictures and more stories!
