December Doings

On Monday, the Gee Family sang at the Visitor's Center for an hour. It turned out pretty well, but it's always a bit of a headache arranging everything. The Kunz kids were not singing, but they hung in there and listened. We all enjoyed the chocolate/carmel dipped pretzels we purchased from Ellie, who is selling them to raise money for her choir tours.







Every night for the past few weeks, we have been adjusting Caleb's retainer. His teeth have to be spread apart so that his adult teeth can come in on top. So here is the nightly process.

On Thursday night, we had the Christmas dinner for the area seminary teachers and they asked Kory to be the entertainment. He kept it simple with a couple of stories and a song. He did great.


Friday night we went to one of Phoebe's home games at Skyline. Grandpa Kunz happened to be in town for a funeral so he joined us, along with Austin and Leah. Grandpa Kunz is a great athlete and loves basketball, so he was kind of coaching under his breath.




On Saturday, Kory went to a funeral with his dad and brothers. It was the funeral of his great-uncle. I held down the fort. Later in the afternoon, we took the little ones to Leo's Place because they were getting stir crazy and it was really yucky outside. Chloe did some binge-watching of Fuller House. I've preserved a copy of the note she left on the door to the basement. Of course, the note ensured that Morgan and Caleb spent more time down there this Saturday than they have in months. I need to teach her about reverse psychology (and that disturb is spelled with a "u" not an "e").



After Leo's, we headed to Rexburg to see some of Phoebe's game against Madison. Then, we went to Isaac's choir concert. Kenzie and a couple of her friend came also, which was a nice surprise. The concert was great and my parents came too. Isaac has had a good first semester at BYUI. He's learned a lot, had some fun, had some challenges, and is looking forward to the next semester.

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
