Happy Birthday to Me

I'm officially 44. Wahoo. I celebrated my birthday week with the WORST cold and Kory caught it too. Neither of us could breathe. I think I went through a full box of Kleenex in one day. Anyway, we survived the week and headed out of town on my birthday--Friday the 13th.

We went to Salmon, ID. Looks like fishing season is in swing. We ate at Bertram's Brewery and I had some of their homemade sasparilla. After dinner we wrapped up the night watching Dateline and Forensic Files. Ha ha. We know how to party.

Saturday we drove a scenic loop, heading through Stanley, Sun Valley and Arco (the less scenic part). It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous drive. We want to go back during the summer.

We headed home through the Craters of the Moon and Arco, stopping at Pickle's Place for some deep-fried pickles. I also had a yummy black raspberry shake.

We made it back home and went out to Smitty's with friends. Kory wasn't feeling very hungry so he thought he'd just get a little German pancake.

Sunday night my mom made a birthday cake for me--my favorite homemade sour cream pound cake with lemon frosting. So good. I had a great weekend and feel very loved.

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...
