Help me find some Houses

The Savannah one of my favorites  $2,390.00 plus fees/cleaning
6 bedrooms 1 King 4 Queens 2 Twins
Somewhere in Vegas........Unknown address for now!

10 Bedroom in Summerlin  rates go WAY up for holidays. Have emailed owner.
It's above $3,800.00

10 bedroom 6 bath sleeps 30
Price unknown

I just like the way this one looks.

same as house below

                                                                              

This is by all means the least expensive.  $1488.00             "Coronado Ranch"
5 bedrooms 2 Queen, 1 double, 2 twins, 3 bathrooms  Maximum 10 Occupants

OK.........here's the rundown.
It's going to be ALMOST impossible to get everyone in the same house if most of us go.
Most of these houses are 10 minutes from the strip.....meaning you will need a car, or wait until someone to come get you. I plan to rent a van or SUV.

There are a lot of condos on the strip at reasonable prices, it someone wants to venture out on their
and stay there. We will still include you on all activities, and then too, the rest of the family can use
your place for "pit stops" as needed?!?! This would be good for someone not planning on renting a car, or just wants "quiet time".......like Grandpa.

What have YOU found?

1 vote so far for Thanksgiving. Any others?

Helen and A T Grady

Aunt Helen

Uncle A T

Mandy went to see Aunt Helen yesterday. We probably haven't seen them since Grandma McKeel died.  He's 90, and she's in her late 80's. I guess they are getting old.

Vacation Anyone ? ? ?

We are looking at the week of Nov 21-28 (Thanksgiving holiday) or Dec 26- Jan 2nd.

Please check your school schedules, work schedules, and your wallets to see what works best.

Kat and I have already started looking for houses. BIG houses! Just let her know how many rooms you will need for your family. 

This IS Nate....... right?

Freshly stolen and cropped.
Finally a picture of Nate!

Happy Birthday Mandy

Happy Birthday to YOU

Hope you have a Marvelous Day! Sorry we ate your cake.

I want one of these

Christy,
The next time Kurt goes hunting, see if he can catch me one of these! I really want the "quilted" version.

Grandkids

I found this video I made on Mandy's site.
There's no music, just pictures.
But look, the pictures are in order of oldest to youngest. (Jack is even included) Oh but wait....Isaac is out of order.
Guess I'll have to make another one to include Blake and Liam.
By the way Kelli B, we haven't heard from you recently!

Seth and Meghan 2/9/08

I have downloaded about 35 of Mandy's videos so far. This is one of the early ones.
This was back in 2008, about a year and a half before the blog was started.
Look at how little Magpie is! I can't wait to show it to her.

More videos to come!

Happy 89th Birthday Uncle Hallett

Today is Uncle Hallett's 89th birthday.
He was only 14 when his dad died, and had to quit school to work on the farm. He enlisted in the army when he was just 18 and served during WWII. All he had to say about that was he "didn't do much". He married the love of his life in 1949. (2nd wife in above picture)
I just LOVE this man!

Oh Tristen...... I LOVE this!

Looks like FUN ! ! !

One True Media Update

Remember about the day I told you I spent about 10-12 hours downloading videos from one true media. I was complaining that it was taking about 15 minutes to process the video, before I could do the download.

Well, the other day I signed on to Mandy's account and saw some videos I had made on her site before I had my own. (She paid for the subscription and I didn't, I just used the FREE stuff).

I tried downloading the videos, and no luck. I sent them an email. They responded a couple of days later and said they were behind. Some of the processing takes 48 to 72 hours, and even longer.

I finally checked back today and found that ONE video has been processed, and I was able to download it......(I rescued your birthday video Debbie). Now the ones of mine that are still there are birthday videos for Wendy, Cindy, Kelli, and misc videos of the grandkids. I guess I'll have to wait another 5 days or so to see if they have been processed.

Kat, you still have videos of Isaac on your site you need to try to download. I saw them connected to Mandy's site. Whew....... this is going to be a lot of work......and it shuts down on May 31st!

Wanna Race?

This is how Isaac Does School

This is AMAZING, since Isaac is the child that HATES getting his hands dirty!

Look at that.....hands, legs, everything dirty!  Go Isaac!

Hat Day Friday

Yes, he REALLY did go to school like this!

Isn't he just so cute.  He made the Pokemon balls the other day with his dad. Since he couldn't wear
guns, they had to do. Does the word NERD fit just a little?
We love you Eli, and wouldn't trade you for anything!
