| We usually have a sleepover on Thanksgiving night. This year Bright, Bex, and Cash were the only takers. The next morning we met Landon and Kacey and Payson and Bentley at the Megaplex to see Moana 2 ! So much fun !! Click here to see fun times at Grandma's Thatcher and Tagg went with Zac to Moab the day after Thanksgiving. |

| Day before Thanksgiving is always fun ! They had a good breakfast, but didn't hike to the "M" because of the snow. They went up around the cemetery, and the older wrestlers were paired with the little league wrestlers, to get to know them better. Such a great idea ! |
 |
| Thatcher got thumped on at the Weber tournament, but he's a trooper ! Click here to watch his great effort |

| We drove down with Zac and Thatcher on Friday before the big State Championship game (Saturday), and stayed over night so that Zac could be up early to run the race. |
 |
| 13.1 miles - and he did it in 1 1/2 hours - Great accomplishment. |

| Thatcher competed in the Will Pentz Memorial Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, November 9th. It's going to be an exciting year ! We are really looking forward to it. Click here to see his matches |
 |
| Man, it was an exciting intense game.......... Probably haven't been that nervous at a football game since Landon played his senior year in the playoffs against Wasatch, and we lost :( This was a MUCH better outcome. Tagg played great !

| My good friend Sherilee invited me for a 2 night, 3 day getaway. First off we did an endowment session at the new Orem Temple. |
 |
| Then we headed to her family cabin near Sundance. |
 |
| We spent two days working on our computers, including updating 2 months worth of my blogs, and getting a few picture books caught up, and Sherilee was able to almost complete a kid's picture book created from a family ancestor story, using AI to generate the pictures. It was amazing, and it has really got me excited to complete my kid's book, "Will Dickson and the Third Nephite" that I've been putting off for 10+ years, due to the overwhelming thought of getting the "pictures" right. |
 |
| We also took a hike along the roads near the cabin, and saw a bunch of turkeys. We explored a broken down cabin that was falling into the creek, and surveyed the progress on a cabin that was being built. Last year, a smaller cabin was being demolished, and now a newer, bigger cabin is being built in it's place. They have the excavation done, and the cement foundation. We also walked down the road and looked at another cabin that was getting an addition, and some VRBO cabins. It is such a nice cozy area, just above Sundance resort. We had a wonderful time. After our get a way, Sherilee dropped me off at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman so I could catch Tagg's football game. Semi-finals against Manti. |
