CHUCKY CHEESE

No matter where you travel, you must always visit Chuck E Cheese, I think they must have one every 50 miles! Our children always enjoy the time that they get to spend there. They love playing games, and getting lots of tickets. Our children always spilt tickets evenly and get the prizes that come along with it!

Bailee and I always get a picture made. It has been a Tradtion of ours since she was 2 years old!

HOME CAN BE ANYWHERE YOU GO

Our family life is a lot different from other families. We are apart sometimes, but when we are together, we definitely make up for lost time.. Our children have traveled a lot, and have been to more states than a lot of children their age. We look at this as possibilities and new experiences for them. They love traveling and they usually get a souvenir for each state that we visit. Even though we were in hotel, we made it as "homey" as possible. We cooked and did what "normal" families do on a daily basis. We played games, watched TV, and talked about our day just like normal families do. It's all about improvising and using what you do have, and making the best of it! So, in all actually, Home can be anywhere, and everywhere, you just have to use your imagination, and rely on each other to make it the best it can be! We are A Fantastic Family Of Four anywhere we go! This is our family life for now, and i must say, we are doing just fine! Home is where your heart is, and our hearts are always with each other. These are the times that I truly cherish, and I am soo glad that we get to do all that we do as a family. These times will shape our family and these experiences make our family life so unique. What other families get to travel all over the place, everytime we travel with Jerry's job, its one of many mini-vacations that we will explore and cherish forever. Home is love, and our doors are always open for many more "homey" places!

A perfect well prepared meal of grilled chicken and all the sides that go with it! It was great!

Perfection, I always put my heart and soul into my cooking

Bailee and me cooking, she loves to help!

I had to actually tear open salt and pepper to put in the containers, hey, gotta do what you gotta do!

This was so time comsuming, but I was DETERMINED to make it all work out for us!

ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION

We finally arrived in Omaha, Nebraska about 5 pm, and we were so glad to have finally made it. We had to unload so much luggage, get situated and of course, make sure Bubba felt at home. What was so bad that Jerry had to be at work the next day at 7am. His estimated travel miles over the last week totaled about 6000 miles!

Bailee is just like me, organized, she made sure she had access to our clothes!

Can you believe the luggage?

Caiden made sure that Bubba liked his surroundings!

TRAVELS AND NATURE

There is something to be said about traveling with nature at you fingertips. I love the fact that I was not driving, for I wanted to take in all I could of the world outside. I love being able to experience all the outdoors of each state we passed through. It was such a relaxing time for me. God knows how much I appreciate what He has given us, in regards to nature. The scenery was so breathtaking, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Nature is truly a blessing that should be appreciated and loved, and respected.

BUBBA'S 1ST VACATION

Our little Bubba Max went of his first vacation with us.He was so cute the way he would go back and fourth between the four of us! He was very good and we rewarded him from to time with little treats. Yes, we fed him ice cream! Being the hyper puppy he already is, the ice cream only added to it! We really enjoyed him being with us on our vacation!
