The Fun Club

So the little kids have been watching some Little Rascals and they've become obsessed with the idea of having clubs. They started a club called The Fun Club. Basically, this means they do the things they always do, but they have a meeting first to decide what they are going to play. In fact, sometimes they'll be in the middle of playing something and Caleb will say, "Guys, we should have had a meeting first!" Then they all run into Chloe's room and lock the door. I've never sat in on one of these meetings, but it for some reason involves a laundry basket and a gavel.

We've also had our granddaughter staying with us, since her mom got a new job which requires nights. Chloe and Caleb are having a blast having a new partner in crime. Here are a few shots of some of their shenanigans.

There are some kids in there.

Yoga Class
Of course, there is the usual dissension in the club, and there have been a few shouting matches, changing of rules, kicking people out of the club, and etc. Yesterday, I was reading the Book of Mormon to the kids during breakfast, and we talked about how Nephi forgave his brothers. I kind of emphasized that if we want Heavenly Father to forgive us, we have to forgive others.  So, later, Chloe and Caleb were having a big fight about the club "rules." After awhile, things calmed down. Caleb said, "Are you still mad at me?" and Chloe said, "No, I have to forgive you." Kids are so adorable.

We had a track meet at Rigby last Saturday. Isaac only ran the 800, because he had been planning on going to a meet in Boise and changed plans at the last minute. He won. Phoebe ran the 800 and the mile. She got seventh in the 800 and first in her heat in the mile. Not sure of her times. I did't have a good camera on me, but here are a couple of shots of Phoebe. She's in blue.

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...
