Christmas Road Trip

Since Kory's parents decided not to come back to Victor for Christmas, we all met in Salt Lake City at the Marriot. We arrived around 3:00 and the kids immediately wanted to go swim, so we did that for awhile. Then we got dressed and headed to look at the lights on Temple Square. I thought the day after Christmas would be a nice mellow time to see the lights, but there were several thousand other people who thought the same thing.

A little hard to sleep with a stuffed animal this size.

Trying to get the kids going for the road trip was a challenge.

After lights, we went to the City Creek Food Court to find some dinner--along with several thousand other people. By this time, Chloe was definitely sounding and looking sick. She had thrown up on Christmas Day and been really tired the rest of the day. She started to get a sore throat as we looked at the lights, so I took her back to the room to get some rest. All of the adults met in Kory's parents room and had a nice chat for a few hours.

My Roomies in Salt Lake

The next morning, Chloe woke up with a super high fever and threw up again, so I packed the three youngest kids in my car and headed home a couple of hours ahead of the rest of the crew. We made it home and then Caleb started to feel sick. I guess we'll see how effective my flu shot is. :)

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...
