January Stuff

So, January is almost over. For some reason January is not a big picture month for me. We're all back to school/work. Phoebe had a birthday and had multiple celebrations, including dinner at Fuji. Her basketball season is wrapping up. They haven't won a single game, but she has learned a lot and says she wants to keep playing, so maybe we'll get a basketball camp in this summer.


Caleb had his DARE graduation. It was fun to watch the class video and see the cool stunts that he did. :)

Caleb got a new dummy for Christmas, one that is slightly less disturbing than Slappy from Goosebumps. Here he is showing him off to the Andersons. He's also really into Star Wars and Origami, thanks to the Star Wars movie and reading the book Origami Yoda. He carries one around in his pocket all of the time now.

Caleb and Chloe have decided to be safety monitors at school. As far as we can tell, it consists of going to school early and holding the door open for people. I think they get a badge too. Whatever makes them happy. :). I did get Chloe to watch Anne of Green Gables with me, my favorite movie. She agrees that it's funny. She says, "I really like it. I can't explain why."

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
