Temple Trips

On Friday of last week I got to help watch Kristi's little ones for a few hours. They are all so cute. Hazel really cracks me up. At one point she asked, "Is your name mom?" And Kristi said since she has been back from her trip, Hazel keeps asking her if Kristi's name is mom. She'll get it all sorted out.


On Saturday afternoon, Kory and I drove to the Star Valley, WY temple. We had a nice lunch at the Red Baron drive-in and then went through a session. It's a really pretty temple--really small too. We ran into a couple Kory knows from Idaho Falls who were doing the same thing we were.


The drive around Palisades was gorgeous. Right now the reservoir is only about 8% full, so it was weird to see it so low.

Last night we took a woman Kory has home taught for years and her daughter, Priscilla, to the temple open house. Priscilla just linked onto Kory and held his hand through the whole tour. She has special needs and is unable to talk, but she would walk up and tap the things she liked. When we walked through the visitor's center she caught sight of the Christus and just marched over there to tap it. It was really neat to go through with those two.


I'm looking forward to filling an assignment as a temple usher tomorrow. It's fun to pitch in with all of the stakes in the area to help with the open house. Can't wait for the dedication.

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...
