Holi-Daze

Well, 2016 is a done deal! The week after Christmas was lazy with some fun get-togethers thrown in. I was sick most of the break with an intense cold, so it sapped any motivation I might have had to actually accomplish anything over this break. Maybe next year.....



I had a fun get together with my mom and sister and our good friends and neighbors the Lukes. We met at Frontier Pies and chatted for hours, catching up on what everyone is doing. Love these ladies!


Mom and Dad scheduled the Sugar City church for a few hours and we got to play in the gym, do games, Morgan worked on her roller-skating and then we feasted on Domino's pizza. It was a fun way to get some wiggles out.




Morgan was alone with us for a few days while the kids were with their mom, so she started just crawling in bed with us while we watched tv.


On New Year's Eve day we gathered a bunch of the kids together to see Rogue One. Loved it!




That night the older kids went to parties with their friends. The younger kids went to a party with their Andrus cousins. Kory and I enjoyed shrimp and prime rib at Josh and Kasey's and hung out and watched some football. We had the little kids back at our place in time to count down and toast the new year. We were happy for 11:00 church this morning as we tried to drag ourselves out of bed. Bring on 2017!

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
