Perfect weather for a t-ball game....

Ok I'm a little behind on posting so here are some of The III's great moments in T-Ball in 2009 ;o) Here he is trying to hide from the camera!!!

Ready for the ball.... Look at that concentration!!

Here is Coach "Pete" coaching while The III is batting...It's going to be a double!!!

And he is off on the run!!!

Here are the Uncle, sister and cousins....playing football????

Yes it is pouring down rain...perfect weather for baseball!! Here are three cute little kids who wanted their picture taken.

Caleb caught the ball!!!

Ethan got the umbrella!!

Tatem and Ethan...yep you guessed it fighting over the umbrella!! And Caleb saying ooohh you two are going to get in trouble!!The III getting his batting gloves on.

Running into third base...not sure what is up with the hands

Waiting for a ball to come outfield....and it's cold!!

Short stop.

Running to get the ball that second base man is just watching!! ha,ha,ha

Sitting and watching the III

Coach "Pete" warming up the team ;o)

Coach "Pete" handing the batting line up over to the bench mom

The III, watching the ball, dropping the bat, and running all at once!! Like the shades?

Time to be out in the field again.

Fielding a ball

Throwing the ball to first base

And again...The III and the little girl on first make a great team

And one more time!

Catch it, catch it, catch it????

A picture of Tatem and some strange lady??

What where did that T come from!!! Look at it bend there is some power in that swing!

Yep there is the tongue

watching a play

Ready for the ball if it comes his way!

Race for the base!!

Yikes the ball went over his head and the runner is coming in

yep she out ;o(...but ;o)

Your guess is as good as mine????

The BIG play of the game...this was their last chance (the little girl and the III"s) to make that big play for the season...the batter hits, she fields it and throws it to the III and look at that he catches it, and gets his foot on the base!!! Not the first time they have done it but it was a BIG thing this game!! Awesome play!!!!

Team Cheer!!!

The above picture is the pirates gone wild!!!

Eating team pizza!

What Grandpa is yawning???

We were nice enough to let Coach "Pete" set with us

Miss Tatem isn't she cute!

Now this picture cracks me up...Tripp looks like WOW look how big those are...He brought them he knows how big they are!!

Tripp getting his trophy, and ball.

Showing them off!

Look no hands!!! Who needs hands to eat a cupcake when the table is just the right level to hold it!

The Assistant coaches giving Coach "Pete" and award ;o)

Coach "Pete" giving his assistants an award!

Tripp showing off his trophy

What a goof!

I have a ton more pictures ...but can't find them so this is what you get!!!

I forgot until the end that The III goes by Tripp when he is playing ball, and Coach "Pete" is Tripp's very own Daddy, John. But one of the player told Terriebeth that John's name was Pete and even though she told him it was John the kid called him Coach "Pete" all season!

Here is to next year...Tripp, Ethan and Tatem all playing fun!!! Ok maybe Ethan ;o)

Random Thought for the day....

Well here goes another crazy thought.....

We have just...well almost....finished building a new deck.

I was sitting out back on it watching the grand kids playing...and yes thinking ....Look at me and my Bad self sitting on my new deck ;o)...no not the random thought...when I saw a bee come flying over to the side of the deck where there were some little bee hive, nest, that were under the old deck...and I thought "oh are you a relative or friend of the bees that used to live here? I'm really sorry but they had to move" Then I continue to think could that be so....do animals come to visit friends and find out they have moved on to new and better places???


Ha,ha,ha!!!

It's all about Tab....;o)

Tabitha could not go with us this year to Vegas so she got to stay at home and take care of 4 wonderful full of energy dogs!!! So we brought her stay at home presents as a Thank You!!

She got this cute new reversible belt!!

A very hard Red M & M puzzle...it looks hard lots of red!!
A Tab cup dispenser
Tab cups of course....

A Tab hat....

I think it is her favorite!

She got some M & M measuring spoons

They are so cute.....

And we can't forget the peanut butter fudge...

Showing off her cup holder and cups...not to mention the hat.

Thanks Tabitha for taking care of our house and dogs while we were gone!!!

I know the dogs (all 4), say Thanks also ;o) They said it was nice to be home with someone they know and love ;o)

New Wilde family in Vegas....

Yes you read that right...we have new Wilde family in Vegas...but not the newest to the Wilde family any more...see The Kligers blog to see the newest memeber of the Wilde family...

Ok back to Vegas...Little Randy's not's so new wife now...and new baby are living there why he is over seas, we got the chance to go over and meet them...here is Tatem with little Julie Valentina Wilde. I think this could have been Tatem's favorite part of Vegas...she loves babies. Cousin Terriebeth with little Julie
Great Aunt Terrie with her....isn't she cute....
Little Julie Valentina...don't you love that name
Great Uncle Tim...telling her a story....Ha,ha,ha! She is really interested in it.

This is Lorraina (I'm sure I butchered the spelling), and Julie Valentina!!

Of course I wanted one when she was fussy....

And yes Lorriana thinks I'm crazy just like everyone else does....here is her laughing and little Julie crying....

We are glad we got the chance to meet them. And we welcome them to the family!! In fact we were taken with both of them...

Coke World!!!

Wow Coke World has changed a lot since last year...now they have a big bear that walks around and then sits for a picture instead of the one we used to have the kids sit on each year. Any way here is Ethan and Caleb sitting on the bears lap...not sure what Caleb was doing but it looks like he was biting the bear???The boys looking at Mom and Dad....
We usually get the drink tray that has 15 different coke products from various countries and the rule is you have to try them all...well this year they have a float tray it only had 8 flavors on it, and they were all pretty normal flavors...but as for being a float...not sure if they all work...I did like the pineapple one. I can't remember every ones favorite...sorry guys. Oh yeah it was the same rule you had to try all of them ;o)

The Third and Tatem taking their first bite!! Not sure what they think...love the looks on their faces!

The Third going in for another bite!! Yum!

Now this one cracks me up!! I think they are both eating a different one but look at their faces!!! Yucky!! Ha,ha,ha!!!

Tim....this one looks good I think I will try it!

Floats are done and we are off to find the bear!!! Here is The Third and Tatem

This one was really cute and then the lady put her arm out right when I snapped it!!! Then before I could take one again ...the bear turned and kissed The Third...which I missed because I was looking at the camera!! Darn!

One last one!!! They are two cute!

Eiffel Tower...

We went up Eiffel Tower one dark night...Tatem loved looking through the wire wall ;o)The Third loved it too!! You could see for miles! No fear in either one of them ;o)
As you can tell the wind was blowing a little as TerrieBeths hair blows in her face as she is trying to take a picture of the fountains at The Bellago. You can see the lights from some of the Casinos in the background just to give you an idea how high up we are!

Tim, John and TerrieBeth enjoying the view!

Not sure what John is laughing at here but it must have been good....

Watching the fountains....

View from the other side...they changed places!! Ha,ha,ha!

This is a picture of The Bellago...pretty small looking from up here.

Tatem and her grandpa!!

The Third and Mommy...

What a fun night!! But it was really crowded! That was not so fun! And the elevator ride...yeah not so fun!
