By March – we had forgotten about it - - - until they called him for an interview. They flew both of us to Boise for a long weekend so that Travis could interview and the two of us could look around! And look around we did!!! I had a lot of time to myself on Friday, while he was interviewing and looking around. I drove everywhere! It’s a nice area of the country – a little flat for what I like – but nice and OMG – I have never met such nice people! I was blown away how nice they all were! They offered my hubby the job – but in the long run – we turned it down – several things factored in (like the number of people, the lack of mountains and places to ATV, moving) and now in hindsight – it might have been better for us to just go and try it – but everything happens for a reason right? </span></div><div><span style="color:#330033;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;">Here is a shot of Boise from our hotel window - to the left:</span></div><br /><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzFDsvINuI/AAAAAAAAAK8/C-_b9PCaVvM/s1600-h/Boise2.jpg"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzFX_sIaPI/AAAAAAAAALE/crf2CtNXzag/s1600-h/Boise1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268302680140835058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzFX_sIaPI/AAAAAAAAALE/crf2CtNXzag/s320/Boise1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br />And to the right - see - pretty flat!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzFYGA2xaI/AAAAAAAAALM/xbOjxGQ-6-w/s1600-h/Boise2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268302681838372258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzFYGA2xaI/AAAAAAAAALM/xbOjxGQ-6-w/s320/Boise2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><br /> </div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;">We decided to stay in Grand Junction.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;">Since we decided to stay – we started the process of becoming big girls and boys – and on June 13th – we moved into our home that we bought!!! A new, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom mortgage! Of course, during the move, I broke a blood vessel on the top of my right foot (dropped the darn gun cabinet on it) – to this day it still aches! Anyway – we have been busy, busy putting our house together. </span></div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHl5go2uI/AAAAAAAAALU/pvJBb7J_qlc/s1600-h/Home1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268305118023441122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHl5go2uI/AAAAAAAAALU/pvJBb7J_qlc/s320/Home1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;">First came the fence – we thought about doing it ourselves – then ended up hiring a contractor (his price was maybe $300 more than if we were to do it ourselves – yeah – hired him)! </span></div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"><br /><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHlyzfU2I/AAAAAAAAALc/MHKVNpIDqog/s1600-h/home+fence.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268305116223460194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHlyzfU2I/AAAAAAAAALc/MHKVNpIDqog/s320/home+fence.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Then my hubby went to Dallas, Texas for two weeks to train on a new aircraft coming out.

We tried to seed grass in my front yard.<br />One afternoon I got a knock on the door – a contractor in the area noticed me watering the dirt – lol – and offered me free sod. He was at a house around the corner and ordered too much. Of course I was on the phone to my husband and we went over, picked it up and laid it that night! So – the following weekend – we went to the same sod farm and bought almost enough to finish my front yard (miscalculated by a couple rolls). It looked so nice!

Kyle had a friend spend the night, the boys came out that night and their butts were wet!!! My two front rooms were soaked! We tried to call the contractor Sunday – no luck – but I left a not so nice message. The guy from the contractor’s office came out the next day. He looked at my house and left telling us he was “perplexed” as to what was going on (yeah – I was not impressed)! The next day – he tells me that it isn’t the construction on the house – it is because we planted grass up to the house and therefore they were going to do nothing for me! Yeah – what kind of joke is that? I can not plant grass to my house??? UM – hello – I will bet 1/3 the population in Grand Junction has grass up to their houses! I tried to file a claim with our homeowners insurance (more for validation then anything) – they denied it saying the house was built incorrectly. Then we had a County inspector come out – he determined my house was not built to code in the front. The rock work was not done properly. (1) it was not built to the end of the concrete slab and (2) it was not sealed. That was October 3rd. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;">Here is my poor house tore apart:</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHmBprelI/AAAAAAAAALs/5VGhwDLU5bY/s1600-h/home+broken.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268305120208845394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/SRzHmBprelI/AAAAAAAAALs/5VGhwDLU5bY/s320/home+broken.jpg" border="0" /></a></span></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div><span style="color:#993300;"></span></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993300;">They finally finished the rock work on October 25th.

It's been awhile - I know and I am sorry! In my defense - I have either been sick or buying something - if that counts! LOL<br /><br />Here are some updated pics from us!!!<br /><br />This one is of the Grand Mesa - from the cross-street to my house! Isn't it pretty!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/R9IWXg7pKyI/AAAAAAAAAG8/72v3-m47GBk/s1600-h/snowy+mesa.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175223515035020066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/R9IWXg7pKyI/AAAAAAAAAG8/72v3-m47GBk/s320/snowy+mesa.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This one is a pic from my son's friend's house!

Here is one of our latest purchases! I say "one of" because I also purchased a washer/dryer out of necessity - I might post pics later! But this one was cool! We are trying to condense some things that we do. That being said - I now own 3 vehicles for 2 licensed drivers - LOL! ANYWAY = eventually we would like to purchase a Wolf Pack Camper. A Wolf Pack is a hard sided camper with a deck in front for our ATV's. My Jeep will not tow that kind of weight. So - in preparation for that - we needed to get a bigger truck. So we went out "looking" one day. In my family = we don't "Look" = we end up buying! And after a day of searching car lots for what would work for us = we brought home a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD Extended Cab.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/R9IWXw7pK1I/AAAAAAAAAHU/GkRBpVljN-c/s1600-h/chevy1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175223519329987410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/R9IWXw7pK1I/AAAAAAAAAHU/GkRBpVljN-c/s320/chevy1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Isn't she purty!!! We got a great deal on it! Heck - it wasn't even on the used car lot at the Chevy dealer yet - it was in a back lot - it had just been traded in the week prior to us shopping! I absolutely love it! It is everything that we will need and plus - my hubby has been needing a new truck! The newest truck he has is the 93 Toyota we kept! It was about time for him!</p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27760216-6469919505747446808?l=moreno4.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Crazy in Coloradonoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760216.post-61112885866426087892008-03-07T16:50:00.009-07:002008-11-13T18:00:25.671-07:00<span style="color:#330099;">Hey all! I thought I would share some pictures of our Superbowl - both the pre-game show and what I won!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#330099;">First = the pre-game show!!! Imagine a nice Colorado snowy day - my hubby looks out our front window and wants me to see the "funny snow shower" we are getting. I look out to see snow - mixed with what I <em>thought</em> was fog. It was pretty cool! I made a casual comment to my husband about "are you sure someone didn't just start their car and that is the exhaust?". A few minutes later - curiousity had got the best of his and he went out to see what the "fog" was.

We woke up Christmas morning and there was some snow on the ground and it even started to snow during the morning - it was beautiful! Kyle was spoiled as usual!

I hope all of your holidays were blessed with family and friends and good health! Like I mentioned at the beginning of this post - it is January 22nd and my doctor diagnosed me yesterday with influenza. Murphy struck my house and did it hard. My husband and I were supposed to go to a concert a couple days ago and didn't because of my illness - needless to say - we are both so disappointed. Both of my men are on Tamilflu for the next 10 days to prevent them from getting this - so please keep them in your prayers!</span></p><p><span style="color:#993300;">I hope each of you have a wonderful, incredibly blessed New Year!

Most of us decided to wear jeans and just be comfy – I just decided to take it one further – LOL!<br />I thought I would “dress up” as my alter ego geek self – the way I look when my hubby, son and I go to the race track in Vegas every year. Well – and truth be known – I also look like it on important (to us) race weekends at home too!<br />So I dawned my blue jeans and tennis shoes, my Dale Earnhardt Jr. t-shirt and his Daytona 500 win hat. I added my lanyard with race tickets that also sported an actual lug nut from one of the Cup cars (it was given to my son the first time we took him to the race – some man came up to us and gave it to him – said he had a bunch of them). I didn’t stop there – heck no! I also brought a Dale Jr. cooler that I put a Dale Sr. blanket and Dale Jr. Collectible car in (you know – just in case – in that rare once-in-a-lifetime instance you actually run into your driver). In addition – I also had my can coozie with the number 8 and my never-to-be-opened Budweiser can that also has Dale. Jr. on it.<br /><br />OK – I will admit – I am a complete Dale Jr. geek! What can I say! LOL<br /><br />Well – check it out for yourself! (this also gives you a small glimpse into my life at work as you can see my messy desk!!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129114307204440722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/Ry5GSYVLYpI/AAAAAAAAAEU/Dpp4fs9Tc9g/s400/me.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27760216-4392448914759873390?l=moreno4.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Crazy in Coloradonoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760216.post-14502765282180758092007-10-06T20:50:00.001-06:002007-10-06T20:58:08.701-06:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhJxOJz9gI/AAAAAAAAADs/lO41uuQWP14/s1600-h/Kyle+by+the+river.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118422086468236802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhJxOJz9gI/AAAAAAAAADs/lO41uuQWP14/s400/Kyle+by+the+river.jpg" border="0" /></a> Kyle playing in the Susquehanna River!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhJxOJz9hI/AAAAAAAAAD0/_jR2euUXCes/s1600-h/sleeping+boy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118422086468236818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhJxOJz9hI/AAAAAAAAAD0/_jR2euUXCes/s400/sleeping+boy.jpg" border="0" /></a>One tuckered out kiddo!

Hola from Colorado! I thought I should share some updates with everyone!<br /><br />First - all is well here! It is Fall and I am in Heaven! This is my favorite season - I love the changing colors, the falling temperatures and the fact that it is the start of the cooler weather and holiday season! Kyle is enjoying his 5th grade year - they are the highest grade in the school so they are king of the hill so to speak - and he is just eating it up! He has excelled this year and is doing really good! Travis is doing good to - having some issues at work but all is well! I am doing pretty good too - my job is good (the occasional issue but who doesn't right!). I have been walking on my breaks and loving it - it is so beautiful in this town right now!<br />THAT is pretty much the short of it!<br /><br />I wanted to share our Pennsylvania trip with everyone! In May - over the Mother's Day weekend - we (my hubby, son and I) took a trip to the East coast! It was the first time my son and husband had a chance to go there! Kyle completely enjoyed the BIG plane he got to ride in and to see the looks on Travis' face at all the sights we saw - PRICELESS!<br />Our main reason to visit - was a surprise 80th birthday party for my grandma. It was also a family reunion that was amazing! My Grandma's bday is actually Groundhog Day - but we decided that Mother's Day would be best due to weather issues! My men had not met my Grandma before so this was the best for me!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhDjOJz9bI/AAAAAAAAADE/vDymo3zwEoo/s1600-h/cake.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118415248880301490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhDjOJz9bI/AAAAAAAAADE/vDymo3zwEoo/s400/cake.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here is the cake for my Grandma - she was so surprised - it was AWESOME!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhDjeJz9cI/AAAAAAAAADM/ERcUXpx_lsg/s1600-h/cow+hunting3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118415253175268802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RwhDjeJz9cI/AAAAAAAAADM/ERcUXpx_lsg/s400/cow+hunting3.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>This is down the street from my Uncle Johnny's house - my sister and son wanted to go feed the cows - LOL - so here we are!

I know it has been quite a while since I updated this blog - I have been so busy! And with no internet access at work - I haven't hit the puter at home like I should - LOL<br />It has been a crazy summer but it has been fun! I started the summer off with a horrible spider bite on my left arm above my elbow that I ended up at the doctor for because it swelled the whole upper arm - it was hot and infected - LOVELY! A couple antibiotic prescriptions later - I was good to go! Although I am a bit leary now of trimming our front hedges as I am sure that is where the little booger was that bit me!<br />We bought a four wheeler in February and added a second one about a month ago and have been on several rides - once in the Uncompagre National Forest and twice on the Grand Mesa. I tell you - I live in an absolutely beautiful place!! My step-daughter came up to visit a couple weeks ago and we went riding - here are some pictures: <div> </div><br /><div>Natalie and her boyfriend on Travis' 4 wheeler</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091352407791770770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RqgeCizCHJI/AAAAAAAAACM/bCfMdyMWMfE/s400/CO020.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div>My honey and I on my 4 wheeler (the newest purchase)!!! </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091352407791770786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RqgeCizCHKI/AAAAAAAAACU/7tGlLAEEesA/s400/CO019.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><br />My two kids (and a boyfriend in tow - LOL) </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091352416381705394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RqgeDCzCHLI/AAAAAAAAACc/B2l2sBc_M_s/s400/CO021.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br />Some scenery from our ride!! </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091352416381705410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RqgeDCzCHMI/AAAAAAAAACk/GLzko2JVRg8/s400/CO038.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091352420676672722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YIvgCX4Qa9M/RqgeDSzCHNI/AAAAAAAAACs/FnjI8mvCAog/s400/CO041.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />We are off for another ride/camping trip this weekend to a different section of the Grand Mesa - there are over 300 lakes up there and we have a lot more to see - LOL!!!<br />Other than getting out and enjoying the country I live in - things are good for the most part. I would ask that you please continue to pray for my grandpa from Havasu - he is doing better but still in the rehab section of the hospital in Vegas. He is improving but still has work to do - his right side needs strengthening but his speech is getting better. Please include my grandma that she has the strength herself to continue to be his rock! Thank you all for the prayers already sent to my grandparents - it is greatly appreciated!!!! </div><div><br />I hope all is well with everyone out there in Blogger land! I miss all my friends and family and hope that this will at least let you all know that all is well here.

I had a few minutes to update some more on my blog. These are more pictures from our trip to South Dakota. We took a day and went to<br /><br />It was so much fun! It is a small town filled with historic places and stories! It is the town that Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed during a poker game. There is a saloon in town that re-enacts that game. Everyday - two actors (Wild Bill and the man who shot him) recruit three audience members and they re-enact that day.<br /><br />This is the actor who plays Wild Bill. He is so funny! He walks around the town all day - giving people a hard time, doing this re-enactment and doing shoot-outs in town!<br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/DEADWOOD.0.jpg" border="0" /> <p>Here is a shot of the lucky audience members and Wild Bill playing cards. That game is funny because the three members aren't actors and Wild Bill tries to lead them threw the whole thing! LOL</p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/DEADWOOD2.0.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Here is Wild Bill at the end of the game.

What an amazing site! I was so impressed! It was beautiful!<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/IMG013.1.jpg" border="0" /><br /> And yes - I actually asked for my picture to be taken - lol!!! I hate pictures - I really do - but every vacation we go on - I get one picture of my honey and me!!!<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/IMG016.4.jpg" border="0" /><br />This was the most amazing site I have ever seen. It is a memorial to <a href="http://www.crazyhorse.org/l">Crazy Horse</a>. It is not even close to being done. I think they estimated 65 more years. I highly recommend reading the story behind it! It was incredible! I was totally awe struck! All four of the heads at Mount Rushmore can fit into the space that just Crazy Horse's head takes up on this mountain.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/IMG010.2.jpg" border="0" />The sculpture in the front is a scale model of what the mountain will look like when completed!

As most of you know - Travis and I are HUGE NASCAR fans! We have had the wonderful chances to go to see the races in Vegas for a few years now - but this year was different - more special - because we got to take Kyle! He has become a big Martin Truex Jr. and Kasey Kahne fan! Here are some pictures of our weekend!</span><br /><br /><br />This one was in Mesquite - before we even got to the track!!! Outside a grocery store - they had Dale Jr's car from a race in 2001 on display! Kyle was so fascinated by it!<br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/Kyle%20and%20Jr%27s%20car.0.jpg" border="0" />This one is Martin Truez Jr's car on qualifying day!

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.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">Here is the truck that was totalled by the accident. . .</span> . .<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/1600/before1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/before1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#993300;">And this is the truck we ended up purchasing after the accident.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/1600/newtruck.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/newtruck.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27760216-114718059593267213?l=moreno4.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Crazy in Coloradonoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760216.post-1147179108728395552006-05-09T06:45:00.000-06:002006-05-09T06:51:48.730-06:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/1600/bandit.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1958/2929/320/bandit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><em>This is Bandit - he is a pure bred Jack Russell Terrier.

This will be a place to keep up-to-date on all of us in Western Colorado!<br /><br />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<br />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.<br />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!<br />Travis and I are doing well! Travis is excelling at his job and enjoying it! He has been with <a href="http://www.weststaraviation.com/"> West Star Aviation</a> 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!</span><br /><br />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!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27760216-114712593442815240?l=moreno4.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Crazy in Coloradonoreply@blogger.com2
