Last Hurrah

I was feeling kind of sentimental yesterday as the kids worked on their checklists for the last time. They really are pretty cute. One of the things on the checklist is read a chapter in a book. Morgan has been reading Dork Diaries. She always gets her book, goes into the piano room, selects Claire de Lune from the pre-recorded songs on the electric piano and listens to it while she reads. So cute.

We wanted to do one last fun thing, and we had talked about going to Heise. However, the weather wasn't really super warm and we had a lot of other things going on like Scouts and school registration, so we opted to go to the Artitorium for a few hours. This time Phoebe came too, and we had a good time.







After Kory got home, we loaded up and went to the Chukars game, because it was Melaleuca night. We ate cheap hotdogs, chips, and pop and watched what we could of the show. The little kids lose interest pretty fast at these things. Caleb became obsessed with the mascot and kept following him around giving him hugs and trying to give him high fives. The other kids mostly just asked for food, food, and more food. Finally the teenagers took off and we took the little kids to their mom, then we came back and finished watching the game with Madi, who is a true sports lover. There was a pretty awesome play that turned the game around and the Chukars won. 


I do have to add one funny thing, because we've been laughing at it so hard. Caleb is very literal and not always tactful (for example. he likes to poke my arm and say, "it jiggles"). So, Kory picked him up from karate last week after he had just had a haircut. When Caleb got in the car, he said, "Hey Caleb, do you notice anything different about me?"
And Caleb looks at him really intently and says, "Well, for one thing, you're being nice to me."
He never figured out the haircut, but we can't stop laughing about it.
And, fyi, Kory is very nice to him, he just gets to be the main disciplinarian too. Tough job.

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.

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 my parents on t

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
