Week ONE!!!

Hello to all our family and friends back in AZ. Well we have officially made it through one week of traveling together! =) There have been HUGE bumps in the road and it has been tough getting the little one to sleep through the night and it has definietly been a challenge to keep her attitude in check but she is getting a lot better with everything now!

So for week one we were able to spend it in BEAUTIFUL Colorado Springs. I am loving all the green and mountains and needless to say the weather is AMAZING!!! Before getting to the Springs as everyone seems to call it we were able to stop off and see Gary's mom, Step-dad and brother in Alamosa, CO thats were we dropped Gary's buddy 'KC' off so he will live the remainder of his life out roaming around their land. =)

The first day that we were here Gary worked on the army base here Ft. Carson. I have to say one of the nicest bases I have seen. The homes are beautiful and the people that we moved were so nice! After that Gary worked off base the next day... This past weekend we got a hotel room because we all needed to get out of the truck and sleep in a real bed. Although we didn't get out of the room to do anything except go to the store it was nice!





As for our Labor day we spent it having a great time just hanging out with each other we got Mackenzie's monster trucks out and had races and jammed to music had a couple beers and then I made dinner and then hung out in the truck with the monster asleep and we are watching a comedy. One fun/interesting thing that did happen today was that we found a little bunny rabbit. He/she couldn't have been more than a year old... Gary tried to pick him up and succeded once and then the bunny just jumped out of his hands and all of a sudden we saw the mom and backed off...

Mackenzie hanging out....

Right before a storm...

Whats up... Dad is her chair since she hates grass.



Mackenzie hidding behind Gary appartently something was hilarious!

She didn't like the bunny ears...

All in all we are having a great time and thankfully not fighting as much =) Next week we will be in Colorado Springs till about Thursday after then we will head to TEXAS! Until next week.....
