Midnight basketball anyone!!!

Ok it is not midnight but it is close to 10 p.m. on the courts of our Condo in Vegas!!! Here is John and The Third shooting hoops!!

Caleb and Tatem playing chase the ball...one throws it and the other one runs after it!! Guess whose turn it is to run ;o)
John, Ethan and The Third playing Basket Ball, and Tatem's turn to run!!

Tatem's got the ball and is on the run!!! What you can't do both...

Ethan going in for a rebound!

The Third throws and John helps out for an ally oop!!! Ok I know is it not spelled that way but it works for me ;o)

Tatem, Ethan and Caleb...who knows what they are playing now

The Third shoots and.....

Caleb keeps the ball moving so he has to run farther...what is up with that...The Third dribbling in the background.

Tatem and Ethan...looks like they are playing tennis...but both on the same side of the net and with a basketball, and no rackets!! Crazy kids!!

John and the two boys once again.

The Third rebounding .....

It's in and it's out!! So fast!!

Looks like that one is headed in the right direction...

Caleb and Tatem after they crawled under the net instead of going around!! Once again Crazy kids!!!

Tim, John, TerrieBeth and I played PIG....which is nothing like horse? So I just took my turn and did what ever they told me!! I lost one game but came in third in one!! I think???? Also notice TerrieBeth's hands/arms...that is the same way John's are in the first picture...do you think everyone ends up that way after a shot???

TerrieBeth shoots and I'm pretty sure it's in!!! But in the picture it has a ways to go yet!! Good action shot ;o) Also you can see the new Marriott that went in next to the Carriage house...it blocks our great view of the strip and the sun from the pool ;o(

Tim taking his shot....looks like it is headed the right direction also....That is the former Aladdin, now Planet Hollywood in the background.

Ok here is an action shot I missed but got the first part...Tatem going under the net!!! The Third and Ethan I'm sure went under it before I had the camera out!!

John taking his shot...once again good action shot!!! Did he make it??? Not sure I cut out the basket, so I'll never tell

It is crazy to me how much energy the kids still had...it is almost 10 and they are still going....I guess it is true Vegas never sleeps!!! Ha,ha,ah!! And neither do we...no wonder Tatem didn't want to wake up on Sunday. See TB's blog..cute video telling dad to leave her alone she wants to sleep in!! http://www.tb-n-j.blogspot.com

I better be getting one of these for Christmas....

Two of us were so excited about what we bought that we had to have everyone watch as we unwrapped the purchases...Miss Tatem Miss TerrieBeth
Look at the wrapping paper!!

Wow...isn't this cool!!! I love it she says!!!

Same here...I love it!!

TerrieBeth checking out all the inside pockets!!! TerrieBeth and Tatem with their new coach purses!!

How fun!! Yes Tatem loves shopping as much as her mom!!!

Crazy!!!

The Bellagio Fountains and more...

We always have to go see the Fountains at The Bellagio more than once every year! They are really cool...in the day or at night!! Here is Hollie taking pictures of the show.A family picture...Not sure where the Spratts were?? Probably at the pool;o)

Ethan saying Yeah and clapping during the show...this was his first time seeing it and he loved it just like the rest of us!!
A little look at the show!!

Caleb watching the show....I found it funny that both Caleb and Tatem thought we were floating on the water because from where we were standing they looked down and saw water...and held on a little tighter!! Funny kids.

Here is the "more" part...inside The Bellagio they always have a fun theme...this year it was a mixture of hot air balloons, Birds and Bears, etc....Here is Ethan, Caleb and the bears...oops I cut a head off one of them ;o) He was tall!

Ok I got it a little better here...not all of it but some ;o) What can I say!

Here is a picture of the hot air balloons and some huge flowers in the air!

Hollie taking everything in and Caleb dancing???

I loved these little fountains and wanted the boys to get a picture by it!!! I thought they were pretty cool and I want one!!!! Don't you love Calebs smile!!

A better view of the fountain...Both boys want to go see other fun stuff now!! But no Grandma wants a picture!! Crazy lady!!!

Another fountain amidst the flowers...the boys loved this one!

Caleb found a from made out of flowers and plants.

Yep you guessed it...Grandma wants a picture but Caleb is ready to go!!!

Another family picture...see the big lady bug behind them!

They could watch this for hours!!

Family picture...don't' you love the way Ethan has his leg up and his arm on Daddy!!

I think he got the leg up thing from his Grandpa!!!

GHRARDELLI CHOCOLATE.....YUMMY!!!!

Well you know our family are lovers of Chocolate, and TerrieBeth found out that their was a Ghrardelli Chocolate in Vegas so we had to go...Here is Tim, The Third, TerrieBeth, Tatem and John are ready to dive into their treats!!!The Third is splitting a Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sundae with his Mom!!! Sure doesn't look like it right???
Here is Tim taking a bite of his Warm Brownie Sundae!!! And The Third in the background still not sharing with mom!!! ha,ha,ha!

Here is Tatem with a Warm Brownie Sundae also I believe. She is sharing with her dad...who takes his ice cream and chocolate seriously!! He even told Tatem at one point that she had to get closer to the Sundae so she didn't spill because "this is serious business" Ha,ha,ha!!

Tricked ya!!! The Third is sharing with his mom!!! Doesn't she look happy!!!

There was a few others who wanted to share also...these pigeon's just walk right into the shop and help themselves to anything on the floor..it is funny to watch the employees try to shew them out!!!

They are not really scared of anything ;o) And they know good chocolate when they find it!

Now this is a funny picture...Tatem was singing a song and dancing so I snapped a picture, for once I got a great shot...it really does look like she is yelling at John...but I promise she was singing a funny little happy song she made up ;o)

Here she is again...Take my picture grandma!!! You see The Third right behind her smiling also.

The Third said take mine Grandma...and our cute little princess had this little surprise in store!!! Crazy girl!!! Nice hand and good timing Tatem!

Ok here is The Third playing his song on the guitar!!! He is so cute!!!

See what Chocolate does for you!!! It makes you happy and you want to sing and dance!!! Ha,ha,ha!!
