Measure for Measure

We had such a great FHE last night. Kory made Sunday dinner--pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc. He has a secret ingredient that makes everything incredibly good. He calls it love. I call it pounds of butter. But I'm not complaining.

All of the kids were there. Even the older ones with spouses and/or boyfriend. We had a great dinner then they did their yearly tradition of measuring themselves on this special board.

Maddie's bugged that she has stopped growing. Kory said she may have even shrunk a little.

Kenzie has also stopped growing.

Pretty proud that I got to add myself to the board. Only Kory and Isaac are taller.

Phoebe had to get on a chair to measure Kory.

After pictures we played a rousing game of Button, Button, Who's Got the Button. But they insist that we say it with an Idaho accent, so it sounds like, "Buh'un, Buh'un, Who's Got the Buh'un." It was very entertaining. When someone calls on you to see if you've got the button you have to show your hands and make a funny noise. Can't believe how creative this family it. They crack me up.

After that, we headed to Arctic Circle for some ice-cream and visited Zach and Kenzie's new house. Everyone was trying to protect me from the two dogs. Why do dogs always sense that I'm trying to avoid them and follow me around as if to say, "I'm not that bad. Really."?

It was an awesome night and I'm so glad to be part of this family.

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...

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.

January/February 2023

January 2023 On January 3 we helped Caleb move back into his apartment on campus and took Phoebe to Fuji for her birthday dinner. On the 7 th , we went to Austin and Leah’s and had some delicious Olive Garden takeout and watched some of Matilda the Musical. On January 12, we went through the Rexburg temple with my niece Maddie. On January 14 th , I went to a baby shower for my niece Kami. She is the first grandchild to have a baby, so this will be my parents first great-grandchild. On the 27 th , we had a new addition to our household. That afternoon, Phoebe asked me if there was any way we could consider getting another cat. Her friend had to move and wouldn’t be able to take the cat to the new location. For some reason, I agreed, and she picked him up that afternoon. He’s an orange cat, and was originally named Scar, but our girls named him Todd after the Fox and the Hound . Binx was NOT happy at the new family member. He hissed and growled at Todd, who didn’t seem overly c...
