Good Eats...yes there are other places besides In-N-Out!!

One of our favorite places to eat is the Monte Carlo Buffet!!! Of course once we got there the kids wanted to see the fountain and TerrieBeth thought it would be a great place for pictures...good luck getting them all rounded up!!!Looks like the dads and grandpa are doing a good job ;o)
TerrieBeth waiting for just the right shot!!!!

Now the kids are saying who goes where!!! ha,ha,ha!

Wait The Third I didn't get my shot!!!

For some reason the only pictures I took here of us was of John and his cute white sun glasses

Yep I took two...wanted to make sure I had the sun glasses in the picture ;o)

After hiking Red Rocks we met TJ, Hollie and the boys at the Rio's Buffet....

Good food, good times, good family ;o)

Everyone likes the dessert here!!!

Sorry the picture are so dark...but still having fun!

Caleb and his sprinkles with a little ice cream ;o)

Ethan and his ice-cream!!!

The Third and he is done with his ice cream....don't you love his Irish shirt?

Tatem with her ice-cream

After shopping we went to the Memphis Tennessee BBQ another favorite place of ours. Here is Caleb with his knife cutting his dinner. Side note every where we went...he would grab his knife and hold it in the air and say...grandma I have a knife!!! Of course I never had my camera out to get that picture, so I thought this was the next best thing....

Still cutting!!! Look at that concentration!!! Ha,ha,ha!

Ethan with Auntie TerrieBeth doing some coloring....

Grandpa, Tatem, John and The Third....just hanging out!!

TJ and Hollie being Cheezey!!!

The whole family...Grandpa and John trying to hide....

Another view...not as good ;o)

Foods here...doesn't it look good...and yes Tim is texting Tabitha telling her all about what she is missing!!! Ha,ha,ha

What is John trying to get some of The Thirds yummy dinner...just look how good it all looks!!

Ethan enjoying his yummy cheese sandwich and fries...at least that is what I think he had!

TJ and Hollie and their food which you can't see sorry.

Caleb was more interested in his elephant than his food!!! But it sure looks good to me!!

The Boys...(Tim, TJ and John), were looking forward to their Fathers Day Brownie from here, but once we got there we found out they only do it on Fathers Day. They were all bummed. So I secertly talked to the waiter and asked him for 3 Hunka, Hunka, Brownie Sundaes. Soon they were all saying how stuffed they were and that they couldn't eat another bite....SURPRISE!!!! Happy Early Fathers Day Boys. Tim is trying to get Tatem to help him eat his ....Look how big they are!

TJ and his...funny he is handing out spoons also...Look at this smile!!!

And last but not least...John and his...he has already given a spoon to TerrieBeth and they are digging in....What I thought they were all full??? And yes they all pretty much cleaned the plates with the help of their wifes and kids!!!

The night TJ and Hollie were leaving we stopped at Viva Marcado's for dinner before they left!

Here is Ethan eating lemon's...he did this every where...wonder where the rest of the pictures are.

Look not sour look he loves them!!

Caleb wanted his picture climbing into the chair....with eyes like Grandpa's

Look at that I caught John!! Ha,ha,ha!!! I don't think he was to happy ;o)

Is Grandpa playing peek a boo...or just hiding from the camera?

Tatem wanted her picture with Grandma...Look at her eyes!! Wow!

Hollie, Ethan and TJ...I think I caught their best side ;o)

Yep there is TJ and look at Ethan Ha,ha,ha!

TJ and Hollie trying to say Las Vegas...but I think TJ has it backwards...and he is driving home?? Scary!!

Ok since I cut Hollie out on the last one here she is again...

I'm not sure how come I don't have any pictures of TerrieBeth and the Third at Viva's.. I know I took some...but me and my camera you never know...sorry guys!

Ok this is TerrieBeths and Tim favorite place...I think...me not so fond of it!! This is Main Street Station on Friday night...Crab Legs all you can eat!!! Yuck!!

TerrieBeth with her plate. Doesn't she look happy?

John with his....

Oh look there is someone normal here besides me...Look Tatem is eating Cheese pizza!! Yeah Tatem!!!

Yep you guessed it...even The Third likes Crab....

Of course it took me a couple of shots to get him getting it...I think it was because I was shocked that he liked it!

Look at this face in this picture...no it is not because it is yucky...he was trying to help me out and was making sure I got the shot before he devored it!!

And no I didn't forget...here is Tim with his plate...( Ok I did forget so this is really TerrieBeths plate Tim borrowed for a picture)...But he was in Heaven so were TerrieBeth and John...I think they are all crazy!!

The Third and his army men...They were a really good deal he got. You should ask him about it!

Yahoo!! Tatem has not caved and is still eating pizza!!! Now that is my grand-daughter!! Now if I can only get her to try it with bananas!!!

This is the end of all our fun eating experiences caught on camera!!! Stay tuned for some more fun and excited things we did in Vegas!!!

Misc. pictures from Vegas

Ok these pictures don't really have a home....but are fun to me...so I decided to post them in a misc. post. Here we are walking on our way to a fun filled day...they were doing construction on Harmon and the side walk was ripped out...but that didn't stop us.

A little closer up! Don't they look cute in their shirts???

A different angle...and John and Caleb have taken off...leaving the rest of us in the dust ;o)

Caleb in Planet Hollywood, with a Lion...but I was to slow,

The Third and Tatem being eating by a Lion in Planet Hollywood...but I was to scared, and was shaking so bad it didn't turn out ;o)

Walking back after a fun filled long day...Wait did I say walking?? Looks like The Third is the only one still walking ;o)

A different view ;o). I still love the shirts!!!

TJ and Hollie needed a luggage cart because they were moving out for a couple of days...yes you guessed it the Kids wanted a ride on it!!! Their little legs were still tired!!!

Oh and I forgot this elevator picture of Tim and I!! Nope it still didn't work! Ha,ha,ha!

This is a picture of The Third and Tatem...sleeping??? What I thought we never slept...seemed like we just kept going and going and going!!!!

TJ and Hollie move back in...and yep you guessed it!! The kids needed a ride on the luggage cart again. Don't you love the shades!!! The guy at Red Rock asked who the star in the back seat with the shades was!!! ;o)

Ok this could be Tatem titanic picture!!! If only her arms were out!!! ha,ha,ha!

There is this Disney Discount store that Tim and I like to go to and get the kids all 9 of them Christmas presents...well this year we said they could pick out their own...well this is how the little ones spent their time....

Yep you guessed it...they had a Disney movie playing....I would call them and they will barely take their eyes off the screen to look at me....it's not like it was a movie they have not see at least 100 times...

They crack me up!!! At one time TJ and John were just as involved in the movie but by the time I got my camera out...they moved. As a side note...look they are wearing the same shirts again!!! I love it!

At one of the outlet malls their is a carousel and of course The Third and Tatem had to go on it!!! Here is Tatem...it was going to fast ...that is my excuse for why she is blurry!!

Here is The Third.....(Ethan and Caleb were not there or I'm sure they would have wanted to go on it also!)

The Third somehow managed to steal Dale from Grandpa...run The Third Run!!!!

Here is my little Nascar drivers.....

Grandpa taking a rest!!!! The Third saying come on lets go!!!!

Do I have to???? Ha,ha,ha!

I took this picture for Terriebeth...I couldn't resist putting it in ;o). After some shopping we had a ton of bags and still more places to go....John volunteered ;o), to take them all back to the condo and meet us at the next place...so here is John on his way to the condo. Thanks John!!

We were in Planet Hollywood again and they have these living human statues...well we convinced The Third and Tatem to get their picture with them. I wished I would have Video it...The guy get them all set up and then moves into his position...here is The Third

Here is Miss Tatem

Now this would have been great but once again by the time I get my camera out....all three of these guys were walking side by side...it just struck me as funny so I grabbed my camera but John moved!! Oh well there will always be a next time!!

The new shirts in Vegas!!!!

I hope this turns out right...somehow my picture thing got changed from in the middle. And when I post like this it doesn't work right ...but you should understand it all...just think if it was me talking ;o)
Tim and I have this thing for giving the grand kids matching shirts, and we got a cute shirt for Caleb for his birthday and The Third was excited and sad all at once...because he likes button up shirts and grandpas Hawaiian shirts....so Tim had the great idea to go back and get 3 more and give them to the kids in Vegas... as you can see from the pictures they did not like them at all!!! The picture on the right is when they first got them!!! Crazy kids!!!

The picture below and to the right is the first day they got to wear them...and of course they all loved it!! And they love their picture taken ;o)

In these two pictures it is hard to tell if it is a group picture or group tackle...Ha,ha,ha!!

The fun of pictures is over now it is time to finish getting ready to go...but alas we have one who has decided he is not going he is going to stay and watch TV ;o). In these two pictures Auntie Terriebeth is trying to convince him to go ;o)

Look who is ready to go and no one else is! Now how did that happen???



Outside group pictures...they are so cute!!!

Time for a goofy one or two!!!

One with Grandpa...who pretty much matching them...I love it!!!!

And one more goofy one!! I think this was my favorite day...it was easy to spot all 4 kids because of their shirts and when we went in places at different times people would say ...I bet you have a brother or sister around here somewhere right? Or they would smile and say how cute!!! Now if I can just find a few more and get the big kids to wear them....oh what fun, what fun!!!!

Caleb's Birthday in Vegas....

Wow this is a short post!!!! Here are a few pictures of Caleb's birthday in Vegas...we had already had a birthday party in Boise for hm with a cute cars cake and all, but I can't find those pictures, so you just get the Vegas ones...we bought cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to him. He was so cute...just glowing!!! Due to my great talent I have taking pictures I manage to get Tatem right in the way of Caleb!!! Wow I'm good!!!Look at Caleb's face he is so cute...and The Third and Ethan are singing right along with the rest of us...aren't they cute also??
Ok cousin pictures...look at Caleb and Tatem just drooling over the cupcake ;o) The Third and Ethan being goofy!!!

Yep this is an almost perfect cousin picture!!! They are the cutiest!!! And little Caleb looks like can't I just eat the cupcake?

Elevator Pictures

One day I'm going to get this great feat down. What a great way to get a family picture ;o). Terriebeth and/or Tabitha started this years ago and I finally join in the last few years...but alas mine don't turn out that great! My first attempt this year...you can see all but me and I forgot to turn off the flash!

Here is one of my great ideas...we are not in the elevator but there is mirrors...so lets give it a try...I got everyone in this one but TJ
Now I got everyone but you can barly see Caleb....They are so goofy!! Look how Terriebeth is picking on her mom!!!
The little ones were game for one more try!!! They loved it!!!

Now this would have been good....but I forgot to turn off the flash;o) Who is surprised???

Here is Hollie taking pictures too....but I miss Tatem on my shot!! Sorry Tatem

Well I think she is behind The Third you can see her just a little bit.

My second attempt but the doors started to open and everyone moved to get out!! Mean people! Ok it was just Tim, John and Ethan!!!

Great times in Vegas!!! I wonder if security is watching and betting money on it I get the shot or not! Ha,ha,ha!
