Dickson Reunion

Aunt Barbara's family was in charge this year.
We had a morning reunion, with breakfast.

A really good turnout - here we are all in line for breakfast

The kids (Dick, Brett, Jack, and their kids) cooked omelets, pancakes, ham, etc.
It was so good.

The little ones loved the food.......

.......and the games
Margo, and Becky, and Mary Lou and Robyn kept them all entertained while the adults reminisced about Grandpa and Grandma (Reed and Anona) Dickson.

Here are all of the siblings and their spouses who are still living.
Of the 5 kids, all five are living.
I think their ages range from Aunt Barbara who will be 92 on her next birthday, to Uncle Norris who is 79 (I think)
Back row:  Uncle Paul, Dad (Lee), Mom (Veloy), Uncle Norris
Front row:  Aunt Dixie, Aunt Barbara, Aunt Maisie, Aunt Pam

Here are the 1st cousins (Grandpa and Grandma's grandkids)
Back Row: Mark, Gwen, Dee, Jack, David, Bret, Kent
Middle Row: Erika, Ann, Joan, Susan
Front Row: Dick, Diane, Lori


Missing: Pauline and Lisa - they had been at the reunion, but by the time we took this picture, they had gone :(
Missing: Patricia and Jimmy (Aunt Dixie and Uncle Paul's kids)

Landon and Kacey's 4th of July

Parade in Riverdale.
They went to Judy Roskelley's home, and had front row seats !

uch cuties

More fun times

Ready for fireworks with friends in West Haven

Payson love baseball !!

They have been able to catch quite a few Raptors games 

Almost done

Cupboard door and drawers are back, with only one mishap.
One of the doors that should have been painted grey, ended up white.
It's back at the painters for a redo (my fault probably, when sorting)

Had to order new by-pass door hardware from Amazon.
None to be found at Home Depot, Lowes, or Wheelwrights.
The hole needed to be enlarged for the new hardware.
Sure looks lnice !!

We are slowly but surely putting up the doors.

Hood vent fan is in, and vented up through the attic.
The rest of the appliances came yesterday (more pics to come soon) 

Sticking the tile up on the backsplash 

New barstools - metal

More cupboard doors on the island

Under the sink in the 1/2 bath - not too fun

Grouting the backsplash tile.
Had quite the time.
The first batch set up too fast, and we had to throw away the whole thing, and dig out what we had put in.
\A quick trip to Ogden, and thankfully I got TWO MORE BAGS...........because the second bath set up 3/4 of the way through, and had to be thrown away also, so the 3rd bag was opened to finish up.
It sure looks nice !! 

This table has sure served it's purpose........
But I'll be glad to get it emptied and back in it's place
We are almost done !!

Sore TOE

Poor Thatcher has the WORST luck with his toes

I think over the course of his 6 years, he has had MULTIPLE smashed toes, and has lost many a nail.

This is his latest.  It was already hurt (can't remember how), and then he dropped the kitchen barstool on it !!  OUCH !!!!

He finally took a pin (himself) and poked a hole in the side to relief the pressure.

Happy 30th to Landon

1988 - How did we go from this?

To this?

Happy Birthday Lando - We love you :)

Floating the creek, over and over........

Playing in the pool 

Eating cake

YUM!!

Swinging

Catching grasshoppers

All together now........There's a mean old clown, who lives in the ground, and he comes around, and drags you down, where you can't make a sound...........

These next pics, Kacey took.
She posted them on Facebook

Happy 30th Birthday to this guy right here! He truly is one of a kind! Best husband and dad anyone could ask for! He’s a child at heart but we wouldn’t have him any other way! We sure love you Lan!🎉🎂❤️

July 4th at the Property

We watched the Parade in Morgan in the morning..............

Then headed to the Property in the late afternoon.  Zac got in with his chainsaw, and cut away part of the tree that was blocking the creek, so the kids could float down, and FLOAT THEY DID !!  Many times. 

Quite a mess to dig out of the dam. 

Here they come !

It was a great day for floating 

Back and forth - many times Grandpa hauled them over in the General.
