Memorial Day and Summer's on Its Way

Summer is in the air and the kids are getting very trunky for school to be out. Chloe and Morgan stopped by the Sno n Go for a sno-cone to get in the mood. Phoebe will be working at the Sno n Go all summer.

Super proud of my nephew Caden, who graduated as valedictorian at Madison High School. He sang with the choir seen below (he's the tall one on the front) and gave a speech. He and his family moved to Oregon the next morning, so it was a nice way to go out with a bang.

For Memorial Day the kids were with their mom, so Kory and I hit a lot of cemeteries on our own. On Sunday, we visited the Ammon, Annis, Rexburg, and Sugar City cemeteries. On Monday we went to Victor and saw a short program to honor the veterans and then had a cook out with Kory's parents and brothers. Austin and Leah stopped by so that Deanne could hold her great-granddaughter, Andy.

We are ready to bring on summer. And....random picture of Chloe.

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
