After Grammy left for warm and sunny Florida, we left for some game time in Las Vegas. First stop, the M&M store. Then, on to the Sahara where Mike and Rob drove the NASCAR simulator cars for hours. They were in piggy heaven. They played the little arcade ones once while waiting for the big simulators to open. They must have raced at least 5 times.

Gotta have some pool time. We stayed at The Venetian.

Here Rob and I are checking out the stores along the riverwalk.

Family dinner at Morel's Steakhouse. Fantastico!

Mr. Music Man performs for Grammy.

Christmas morning with Grammy (Gloria)!

And of course, for Mike, what's Christmas without socks?... hehehehe.

Time for stockings... Gloria brought some heavenly 'Norman Love Confections.' They are out of this world and certainly a Christmas treat to be repeated in coming years.

Rob's 5th grade "Holiday" party. His buddies: Steven, Sam and Zach.

Mike's antelope, shot Saturday, December 5.

Drew's antelope (Duncan's Dad).

And, when Barb drags Rob to work with her, this is one way he spends his time in her office area.

Target practice on a warm November morning. Actually, this was 'black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving). We woke early and did some shopping. When the stores were full of people, we left and went for some fun at Kiowa Creek Shooting Range with the Hathorne family.

Rob and Mike. Below is Heath and Hunter. Then, Becky and myself.

ROB'S 11TH BIRTHDAY !

I managed to get 4 suite tickets to the Bronco's vs. San Diego game on 11/22, Rob's birthday. We also were invited to a special pre-party at the MillerCoors tent. Rob and his buddy, Duncan, got their pictures taken with retired Bronco players:

Larry Brunson

David Treadwell

Billy Thompson

Paul Howard

Of course, the boys had to get their picture taken with the cheerleaders as well.

d Time to play ball !

Mike's first elk, shot on Halloween, Saturday, October 31.

A new look for the ATV.

First real snow of the season !!!

After the wedding, we drove to Cape Coral to spend some time with Grammy. We went on a wild airboat ride. While we never did see the allusive Florida gator, we did see one giant multi-colored grasshopper.

Steve and Britton's wedding weekend!

Here the cousin's enjoy lunch together.

The big day.

A manatee joins the party too.
