State Track

Kory and I headed off on a little roadtrip to Boise to see Phoebe run the  mile at state track. We stopped in Twin Falls and took a walk along the gorge and watched some people parachute off the bridge. Then, we did a session at the Twin Falls Temple, which was great.






We got to Boise and checked into our hotel, ate a snack at a little crepe place, then did some shopping at some outlets. Later, we picked Phoebe up at her hotel and took her to dinner at Zupas. She was having a blast with all of the kids there.

Saturday we checked out of the hotel and headed downtown. Since Phoebe's event wasn't until 1:00, we took a walk along the Greenbelt. The river was so high that portions of the trail were blocked off because they were under water.



We watched the end of the field events and then Phoebe's was the second track event. She ran just a few seconds off her best time for the season, and she was happy with how she did. It was around 5:45 for the mile. Can't imagine running that fast. She's excited to train and try to improve for next year. She went home with her mom, so Kory and I decided to take a little side-route home through Craters of the Moon and Arco. Nice not to be fighting traffic. We both like road trips, so it was nice and relaxing.







On Sunday, Andy Jolene Kunz was blessed at Austin and Leah's ward. We went to their sacrament meeting. It was nice for Isaac to be able to stand in the circle with Kory and Austin and Leah's family members. Afterwards, they had a brunch at Leah's parents house. We stopped by for a few and then we had to get back to our ward because Kory was speaking in sacrament and then we both needed to be in Primary. Busy, happy day!





Finally, here are a few pics of Phoebe at one of her earlier track meets which a friend shared with us.

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...
