Last Week of Summer

This was technically our last week to do fun stuff this summer, since the kids will be with their mom and then I will be gone on a trip the last week of August. So, we tried to pack in a lot of things we had hoped to do this summer.

On Tuesday we went to Mesa Falls and had a picnic. The highlight of that trip was trying to help Morgan get the courage to use the pit bathroom. She was afraid something was going to come up out of that hole. After three or four different tries, I held her hand while she went and she made it. :) One the way home we stopped at the Sugar City park and then had gelati from Kari Ann's in Rexburg.






Wednesday was the annual Kunz Lagoon Day. We took a caravan of three cars down and spent the day at Lagoon. I spent most of the day with Kory, Morgan, and Caleb, because those kids aren't quite ready to try all of the scary rides. I have never been a fan of anything that turns me upside down. But I don't mind spinning. I took the litttle kids on the Tilt A Whirl and Morgan did NOT like that. I thought she might have a cardiac arrest. My favorites were the Log Ride and Rattlesnake Rapids.










Thursday we were pretty exhausted, so all we did was get school supplies. That night Kory and I decided to tag along with Kristi and Terry to the Playmill, since we didn't manage to get up there this summer. We saw The Foreigner, which was hilarious.


Friday we spent an hour at IJump and then did dentist appointments all afternoon--no cavities. Wahoo.  Saturday was busy with chores and etc. We went to dinner at Stoplight Pizza, though, which was yummy!




So, this is my first summer staying home and being a full-time mom. I told Kory one night when I found a random splash of maple syrup on the back of my leg that that symbolized my summer. It's been fun and exhausting and crazy! It will be fun getting back to work and school, but I'll look forward to next summer!

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
