New York Day 4

We woke up and headed to Central Park to bike around. We rented our bikes at one of the entrances to the park and then had a leisurely bike ride through the park, stopping and frolicking through the Strawberry Fields. NOT. There were a million bikers and runners and I felt like I was on a freeway. There were only certain places you could bike and if you got out of place you were yelled at by various people. BUT in spite of that, it was still fun. It was just a little overwhelming. We stopped a couple of places and took some photos. Our bikes were not exactly top of the line, so I was pedaling like crazy and barely moving. He he.








After that we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I didn't have long to spend there because I wanted to go visit a friend who was living in New York, so I saw a photo exhibit and then kind of wandered through the sculpture garden.

My friend is living down off Wall Street and it was interesting to hear what it's like to live in Lower Manhattan with three kids in a two-bedroom apartment. She loves it. She lived in London before this and said London is like a country town compared to New York. I thought that was kind of funny.

Oh, I got mixed up. That was the night I saw Matilda. The night before we all went out to dinner at a Thai Place.

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...
