| Meet Bandit aka Bandit Wrangler Rich aka BW Rich |
 |
| Poor Grandpa Lucky is having to put up with ALOT |
 |
| Thatcher and Tagg came over to check him out yesterday. They sure think he's a cutie. |
 |
| Bandit has one blue eye, and one black eye. He's doing alright so far. We lock him in the big dog kennel during the day when we aren't around, and we lock Lucky in there with him at nights, and they sleep together in the dog house. |
 |
| Zac has started the mow strip around his yard. He was hoping for an early start, but the cement (you pour) place wouldn't start up until it was at least 45 degrees. I think they headed for the first "yard" at about 10:30 am. Zac had enough formed up to pour 2 yards.............or so he thought. |
 |
| When CJ walked across the yard, I did a double take ! She got her hair cut (for the first time in a year) and colored. It's super cute. |
 |
| Mom and Dad (Grandpa and Grandma D) came to help. Dad commented that they had been doing this for 50 years. YUP, since 1967, when they did all the cement work at their old place (where I grew up). I remember for sure, waking up in the mornings in the summer on a Saturday, to the sound of the cement mixer going out front. Grandpa Reed Dickson would be shoveling gravel into the machine, and getting it mixed with the cement and water. Dad would be wheelbarrowing it and dumping, and Mom would be tamping, raking, tapping with a hammer. Dad would then finish it up. Good memories. Who would have thought that 50 years later (2017), they would be helping their grandson do some of the same things. They are amazing. It ended up that Zac needed 2.75 yards instead of 2, but he got all of it done that he had formed. It was a little much for one guy to finish, and he wasn't too happy with it. He's a perfectionist. Unfortunately he had to miss Tagg's game in order to get it all done. |
 |
| Tagg was disappointed that they lost their 2nd playoff game - 18 to 12 in double overtime. A sad way to end the season, darnit !!. Zac tried to cheer him up. |
 |
| Mom and Grandma Carol were cleaning, and Dad was hunting pheasants. THIS grandma Gwen was able to hang out with Brightyn and Lola |

 |
| Lola was SO SO happy to see him. |
 |
| LOTS and LOTS of kisses ! |
 |
| Back in the house, this Mr. Miagi wanna be caught a fly with his bare fingers !!! |
 |
| Then we went downstairs and cleaned the toy room for Mom. She was sure happy when she came home. She has taught them well, just like her mom taught her. These kids can clean !! It was a fun few hours with the Littles LOVE THEM !! |

 |
| Thatcher and friend had PRIME SPOTS |

 |
| Sunday, October 8th, Treyson was ordained a Deacon and recieved the Aaronic Priesthood. Zac performed the ordination. I wasn't able to attend, but the Bishop, President (past) John Porter, Grandpa D, and Deacon's quorum advisor Terry Wheelwright assisted in the circle. I am so proud of Treyson I am so proud of Zac They had him come up during sacrament meeting and everyone sustained him. Treyson also bore his testimony. |
 |
| The other night Landon and Kacey and the kids came up to visit. Bright was dressed in a lady bug costume that was about 2 sizes too small :) Such a cutie. |
 |
| They had a great time drawing while the adults chatted. Just before they left, Landon announced the BIG NEWS !! We are going to be GRANDPARENTS once again !! March 2018 - Grandbaby girl is due !!! Grandbaby #9 (for us) is coming !!! YAHOO !!! |
 |
| Payson has played Flag Football for the last few weeks I think this week is his last week. Landon has been the coach. |
 |
| They play at a Lions Park just off Harrison on 22nd Street. Love the mountains in the background. |
 |
| He's finally got the hang of sitting out for TWO PLAYS, every little bit. |
 |
| Landon has a paper in his hand, and every two plays, 3 kids switch out and take their turns sitting out. He also keeps track of who is in what position, and switches them around every time, so everyone gets to play every position. |
 |
| There's Payson with the ball |
 |
| Telling Grandpa just what he's going to do when he goes back in the game. |
 |
| Listening to advice? |
 |
| Hope so - Grandpa knows what he's talking about ! |
 |
| Last Saturday we got together (in the rain) and gathered the pumpkins from Grandpa and Grandma D's garden. Boy there sure were a lot of them ! |
 |
| There were a few cornstalks left that we hadn't fed to the goats, and Tagg was a TERROR, chopping them down with the big machete knife. We all stood back, that's for sure !! I gathered a few for bundles for decorations. |
 |
| These two sure had a great time hanging out together. |
 |
| They helped gather the old summer squash with Grandma D. |
 |
| Buddies |
 |

 |
| Kacey and Brightyn came after a little while. |
 |
| They had been to Ogden to get Halloween manicures So cute. |
 |
| Look at the DEVIL in Payson's eyes (haha) He saw that Thatcher had TEN (count em' 10!!!) pumpkins in his car.......... So they proceeded to put TEN PUMPKINS in Payson's car !!!! |
