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!

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...
