Welcome to the Family

I feel like I'm already on vacation--which is bad, because I have a lot of work to get done. But still....
Let's see. Wednesday Kory and I went to the temple with Austin and then took he and Leah to The Hickory. Kory and Austin tried the Big S burger--which is basically a hamburger between two cheese sandwiches. With bacon.


It's hard to wrap your head around. And your mouth.

On Friday we took the kids to the Festival of Trees, although when Kory saw how crowded it was, he said, "Okay, we're in and out in seven minutes."
"Seven minutes?" I said.
"Okay, you give us a time limit."
"Twenty minutes."
"Okay, thirteen."
He drives a hard bargain. And I think we were pretty close to thirteen. It was wall to wall people so it wasn't that fun to look around. After that we went to the Pizza Pie Café and ate. We got home and watched the Two Towers. I was cuddled up with Kory on one side, Caleb on the other, and Chloe laid across the top of us. Kory looked at me and laughed.
"Welcome to the family."

Saturday I was babysitting for my sister, Kristi. However, I did fit in about forty-five minutes of dress shopping and think I found the one I want--it happened to be the first one I tried on. Here's another one I was considering, because it's bad luck to show the for reals one.



We all headed over to my parents house, because Jodi is here visiting with her kids and the kids played all afternoon. Kory came later with his kids and the party continued. I spent most of the time making dinner and cleaning up dinner. Kory said, "I'd love to help you, but Eli insists on watching the football game." (Eli is Kristi's one-year-old.) Actually it was helpful just to have someone watching him, so all was well.

Today I hung out some more with Jodi and Evan. Love these pics. It reminds me of the book The Napping House.

    I know you don't know me, I promise I am not a weird stalker! My husband teaches seminary in St.Anthony and we have known Kory for most,if not all, of the 22 years we have lived and taught here. I am just so happy he has found you! I can tell you are an amazing woman...I have read your blog for a long time. Anyway, congratulations and best wishes!!

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

Kory's Story

I just wanted to record this for our family history. When Kory and I were engaged, we went to Salt Lake to talk with someone at CES to see about re-applying to teach seminary. At the time, they indicated that he could re-apply, but they didn't seem positive about the likelihood of him getting re-hired. At that time, we decided not to pursue teaching again. Later that year, CES announced that there was no longer any block on people who had been divorced teaching seminary. Again, we talked with some people, but still felt that the chances of him getting hired were not good, because he would not be able to move if necessary, which is usually the case with new hires.  In Fall of 2015, Kory had a strong impression to check with the pre-service director and see what he would need to do to try teaching again. We still knew that the chances were not great, but he felt that he should pursue it. He began attending the class for pre-service seminary teachers, and was assigned to student te...

April 2023

  April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that.  On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit.  On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with m...
