Dixon Family Update

Yesterday was a great day for Wolfpack football. They beat the Stampede 38-6. Tay played offensive line, kick off and kick recieve special teams, and LINEBACKER (yeah!). He did great. He even had an INTERCEPTION!!!!!! The past couple weeks have not had the Wolfpack on the winning side - so this week was a welcomed confidence builder. He did great. In the car he said, "We finally know what it feels like to be on the winning side of a route. It feels good."

Trevor had his first fall baseball practice last night (amid rain sprinkles). He is on Coach David's team again- so he had fun seeing many baseball friends (perhaps a little too fun - I told him I was going to email Coach David and tell him to make Trev run laps around the warning track to get him to stop screwing around entertaining his friends.) He was excited.

Tanner starts golf in a couple of weeks - this week his BFF Zack spent the night. I know they were up pretty late - in fact when I came down at 4am, they were asleep, but both sitting up - Zack in the recliner. Tanner on the Couch, no blankets. And when I dragged myself out of bed just before 8 on Sat. Zach and Tanner were already in the pool (which had to be a little chilly - at least for me.) They were in there for hours - long after I left to take Tay to his game. But he had fun.

Timm started as a special ed teachers aid this week. He seems to like it. It is part time right now, but we are hopeful that will move into a full time position in the future. Grand Canyon Basketball also starts soon. So it will be good for him to re-engage in that.

I was in DC Mon and Tues last week and I am headed out again tomorrow morning and will be there the entire week. The time difference between EDT and PDT is 3 hours, and while it doesn't sound like much - it is huge. When I get up at 6:30 am in DC, that is 3:30 in Phx. Likewise, at night, come midnight, when I should be sleeping - it is only 9pm my time and I can't go to sleep. So that is catching up with me a little. But there are only about 8 weeks left of this project. So I can tough it out for that long.

Trev and I put up our Halloween blow ups and decorations last week. We still need to finish stringing our spider webs inside but we are getting ready for Halloween! Trev keeps asking me what candy we are going to hand out - I told him I am unsure so I need to sample a lot to see what I prefer. :)

Hope everyone is doing great. We love you all!
