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. :)

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...
