July 14-24

On the 14th, I went to Rexburg to get my hair done. Morgan chose to come with me, but she wasn't too fond of the smell in the salon.


But I knew she was pretty interested in all of the stuff going on in the salon. She got so close to the woman doing my hair I had to tell her to move back. Sure enough, as she was playing a few days later, she now was in the salon business, with nail polish displays and cash registers and the whole business. She makes me laugh.

That night, Kory and I spoke at a Girl's Camp. A friend of mine from high school asked me and Kory to speak. Their theme was The Happiest Place on Earth, with some Disney tie-ins, so I wrote my talk about What Not To Do According to Disney Princesses. It was kind of a fun night.

Kory won the men's trivia contest about Disney Princesses. He doesn't have five daughters for nothing. 

The next night, Kory spoke for our stake young men's high adventure group. They had just climbed Table Rock, and they were all exhausted, but Kory managed to keep their attention and teach them about the Stripling Warriors.

Random Picture of Chloe
This week has been up in the nineties every day, so we made a couple of trips to Rigby Lake to cool off. The kids had fun on the Duckie boat and making sand castles.










On July 20, Leah, Austin's wife, graduated from BYU-Idaho with her Bachelor's degree. I'm so proud of her. She is really an amazing person.


On the 21st, we went back to Rigby Lake. Kristi was there with a few of her kids, so they had fun playing with cousins.





On the 23rd, we decided to celebrate Kory's 53rd birthday, (it's really on the 26th) because the kids will be with their mom next week. We decided to check out Battle Zone, a new business that one of the kids cousins is starting in Idaho Falls. It's right next to I-Jump and its got inflatables and a Nerf Gun war place. It was fun because the kids cousins were running it,












After Battle Zone, we went to Stop Light pizza, which specializes in huge pizza. This one is spreading over three tables. Everyone got full and there were tons of leftovers too.

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.

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...

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...
