St.George Wedding

The day after Thanksgiving, after studying the weather, Kory and I decided to make the trek down to St. George to attend the wedding of his niece Brianna. The trip down was smooth. We got there in time to join most of the family at Benja's, a great Thai place.

After hanging out at Nicole's for awhile, we stayed the night with Lori. We woke up and headed to the temple (we made it there before the bride). It was a gorgeous day in St. George. No wonder people like to spend the winter there.

After the wedding, we went and picked up the food for the luncheon. We had the luncheon at Dixie High School, where Mike is an assistant principal. It was a nice place to eat and visit. There was a short video and then the parents and bride and groom spoke a little. Selwyn's background is really interesting. He grew up in Guyana, but after his grandmother who was raising them (he and his twin brother) died, they went to New Jersey to live with their father. Their father's second wife did not want them living there. They reached out to a missionary couple they had met in Guyana, and they let the twins come and live with them in St. George. That is how Brianna and he met. Pretty amazing story.

After the luncheon, we went to the St. George Children's Museum where the reception was being held. The top floor is a really great venue for receptions and etc. We all jumped in and helped decorate. It was amazing how everything came together.

Once the reception kicked off, we headed to Provo area. We heard that a snowstorm would be starting around midnight and didn't want to have to drive through it the next morning. We stayed at Halli's house. Eventually three other families decided to head home too, so we had a houseful.

We woke up and went to church at Halli's ward. I was surprised to see that my cousin Maralee Henderson was in her ward. We had a quick visit and it was fun to see her.

So, it was quick trip, but we're super glad that we made it.

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...
