Here is number 10, Rathen, with his younger sister, Alexis, a member of the cheerleading squad, and his mother, Rebecca, posing for grandpa to take a picture after a game they won against Fountain Hills.

Earlier in September, we drove down to Thatcher, Arizona to attend a high school football game between Show Low and Thatcher. It gave us a chance to visit our granddaughter Breann Perkins, who is a student at Eastern Arizona Jr. College, and it gave us the opportunity participate in an endowment session in the new Gila Valley Arizona Temple. What a beautiful temple! That was a choice experience.

We also got to be with other family and friends who came to be at the game, which Show Low won easily. Our grandson Rathen had another good game as quarterback for the Show Low Cougars! He is headed for a record breaking season in 3-A football.

Drew and his dad, Rich Dalton, posing for grandpa to take a picture after the soccor game was over. Drew's team lost the match, but Drew scored a goal for his team near the end on a great play. What a guy!

Here is another of our grandson's, Drew Dalton, participating with his soccor team in a game held at the huge sports complex on South Greenfield Rd in Gilbert, Arizona.

Drew is the 2nd from the left in the mid-background, dressed in his green and blue.

Here is our grandson, Beau Williams, the newest Wolf in the cubpack in the linden Ward. What a handsome and bright young man he is! It is always a pleasure for us to be back in close contact with our grandchildren.

We arrived back in Show Low on Saturday, Sept 25, in time for Linda to join her daughters and granddaughters in attendance at the Show Low Stake Center for the broadcast of the LDS Women's Conference.

Afterward, they all gathered back at Ann's in Linden and enjoyed visiting and playing games; a real girl's night out!

After meeting with the Hodge's in Durango, Sept 23-24, we drove to Monticello, Utah for an overnight visit with my brother, Reid, and his wife Stephanie, at their lovely home.

It was very enjoyable to have a few moments with them and enjoy such a relaxing night's rest and delicious dinner and breakfast before we departed.

This picture was taken in front of the home, just before we left for our return to Arizona.
