| Treyson had an AVENGERS theme for his 7th birthday, and THOR came to celebrate !! |
 |
| So did the Three of the Five "K"s - Kassidy, Kaydence, (Tagg) and Kamry |
 |
| That's what Payson thought of THOR - NOT impressed at all, poor thing :) |
 |
| What a good sport - LOVE YA Rog !! |
 |
| Treyson received a new bike with GEARS to SHIFT !! He was pretty excited. |
 |
| For our Dickson Family Reunion at the end of June (one day before I left on my church history tour, which is why I forgot to post this !) Chet and Luke Adams cooked (roasted? steamed?) a pig. Wow, it was something else to see. |
 |
| Tagg was SO interested (see him in the background?) Check out the videos below. I've never seen anything quite like it, and it was delicious !! |

Fall/Halloween decorations for sale. $5.00 per bundle, or 3 bundles for $10.00 (3 bundles pictured above) - they are green (just picked), but turn yellow soon. I'm hoping to earn some extra money for Dave and Michelle Manning's little boy Austin and his upcoming Cochlear Ear implant surgery. Read more about it here, and please let me know if you'd like some fall decorations for your porch ! My email is sled4fun2@hotmail.com |

| These are the words we hear ALL OF THE TIME when the kids come to visit. This is their most FAVORITE thing to do. Our trampoline is so old and bouncy, and they love love it. |
 |
| Sometimes Grandpa's swipes get kind of wild and crazy !! |
 |
| This is the chicken coop that Zac and CJ and family made for Rog last Christmas. We had 3 chickens (that we really loved) in this for a few months, and we'd let them out in the yard all day, and no problems...........UNTIL that dreaded Sunday, when two of the three were killed (by an unknown predator), so we put the coop in the DOG RUN, and got two more chickens (didn't love these as much), and about 1 month later - AGAIN on a Sunday, something climbed OVER the dog run, and killed ALL OF THEM !! That was it. Rog said NO MORE CHICKENS...............until we get a BIG SECURE one like Zac and CJ, so........................ |
 |
| We went to the Uintas to get poles................. |
 |
| Then Zac and Rog went to work |
 |
| The little boys helped too ! |
 |
| We built the "house" and "coop" off the newly filled, graded and rotomilled carport area, and around the big Box Elder tree at the corner of the barnyard. |
 |
| I was the painter extraordinaire |
 |
| We usually had an audience :) |
 |
| The project literally came together in 2 weeks |
 |
| Now are chickens are SAFE AND SOUND :) The kids get a kick out of them. Rog has a new hobby that he enjoys, and we have FRESH EGGS ! |
 |
| Tagg stopped by on his way to Teacher Melanie's Preschool. This is his second year there, and he was sure excited ! He was stylin' in his new Skylander shirt, Spiderman backpack (I guess 4-5 of the little boys there had Spiderman backpacks :), and his Sketchers that blinked lights. So fun to see him so happy ! |

 |
| Boarding the Gondola - a little scary because it doesn't stop. |
 |
| I bet Treyson said, "This is AMAZING!" at least a half a dozen times :) |
 |
| Full of questions |
 |
| Thatcher wasn't so impressed :) |
 |
| At the top for Jen and Stan's wedding reception (Jen Largent and Stan Durrant) |

| Coming back down with mom and dad |
 |
| We had a fun time at Snowbasin ! |
 |
| Say What? |
 |
| Oh, and this is my cuz Payson ! |
 |
| Yeh, we know........pretty handsome, huh? |
 |
| Woah - sorry about that finger in the eye bud ! |
 |
| Thatcher Roger Rich - the Bishop said from the pulpit, "That doesn't roll off my tongue too well", then after the meeting, he introduced himself , and asked Roger D. who he was, Roger responded, "I'm Thatcher's grandpa, Roger". The Bishop then apologized for saying that "Thatcher Roger" didn't roll off his tongue so well - Roger D. just laughed. |
 |
| The Happy Family ;) - that's for you CJ |
 |
| Grandpa Jim Wilkinson blessed little Thatcher, Grandpa D, and Uncle Landon assisted, along with Bishop Matt Wilkinson |
 |
| The babies are starting to interact more and more - Payson can sit, but not roll,a nd Thatcher can roll, but not sit ! Payson found Thatcher's head, and proceeded to grab and play. Thatcher didn't mind a bit :) |
