State Fairs, Baseball, and Bike Rides

Kory and I decided to pack it in on the last weekend of summer. We went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot on Saturday morning. We always look at a few exhibits and then the real purpose is the food. So.....raisin cookies, pronto pup, homemade bread and honeybutter, Mexican corn, and ice cream.


That night we went to the Chukar's game. Saw some good plays. Had some hotdogs and funnel cake.

On Labor Day we loaded up our bikes and headed to Teton Valley. We hopped on the old rail trail from Tetonia to Ashton. We started in Tetonia. The first couple of miles were pretty rocky and I was a little worried about my bike tires.
 Then things leveled out and got more sandy and packed gravelish. We crossed some streams and saw the beginnings of fall color.

 Near Bitch Creek we crossed a big trestle.



 We ended at Lamont, about 15 miles out of Tetonia. Kory's dad came and picked us up and we all went to lunch at O'Roarke's. Beautiful trail. Nice workout. We want to do the other half in a couple of weeks.

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

March 2023

 On March 4 I played at the stake baptism, then went and got a massage. It helped somewhat with the neuropathy in my hands. That’s the main side effect of the chemo that I’m dealing with. I’m taking medication for it as well, but I still have pretty much constant tingling in my hands and feet. On March 12, my mom made a birthday cake for me and we had a little pre-birthday celebration for my 52 nd birthday. She made lemon sour cream pound cake—my favorite. On the 13 th , Phoebe woke me up with a call from Kory. He had forgotten his laptop to teach early morning seminary, so I jumped in the car and drove it to him. He had his whole class come outside to the car and sing happy birthday to me. That was just the first of all of his classes. He facetimed me throughout the day, having each of his classes sing to me. Some of the calls were during my classes, so my students and his got to face time! It was pretty funny. To make the day a little more fun, I brought doughnuts to both of my cl
