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.

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.

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
