Halloween and Cross Country

So, we carved our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch for FHE. We turned on some Nightmare Before Christmas to carve to.







Later that week, Kory and I drove to Couer d'alene to watch state cross country. The drive up through Montana was pretty and we had a good time on the road trip. We got there Friday afternoon and did some exploring down by the lake and ate at a good Italian place.



Isaac ran around noon on Saturday, so we drove to Farragut State Park, where it was being held. It was a rainy, cold day. There was some trouble with the timing chips, so we had to wait a couple of hours for Isaac's race. When it began, we were worried about the position of IF's team, because they were the furthest team to the right and the course funneled off to the left, so Isaac got boxed in kind of early. At the first turn, he was way back in the pack. When we saw him again, he was still pretty far back and we worried that he might not be able to place. Kory headed to the finish line, and I stayed by this other turn to cheer him on. I couldn't believe that the next time I saw him, he was in the top ten...meaning he had passed about twenty people since we saw him last. He ended up finishing ninth, which was awesome, considering the rough course he had run.















We headed home after Isaac's awards. It was kind of a scary drive until Missoula....tons of water on the road and a steep, windy road. Once we hit Missoula, things dried out and straightened out and we got home around midnight. Fun trip.

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...

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...
