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.

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...
