Kunz Krazies

On Friday we had a birthday party for our grandson, two-year-old Ryker. We had a nice surprise when LaRell spent the night with us on Saturday and came to sacrament meeting on Sunday. The kids always love seeing their Grandpa Kunz.  Sunday we invited my sister and her kids over for treats. Her kids enjoyed all of our Star Wars paraphernalia. We now have a 14-year-old in the house, with Mr. Caleb's birthday. He was very specific about which Lego boxes he wanted. I took off for four days to go up to a cabin in Victor to work on my dissertation. There were three other women up there working on their dissertations and a couple of men from our department in a different cabin. We all went to eat on Thursday night to celebrate our progress! Kory and I were happy to be reunited after a few days apart. We went to a ward party on Friday and then Saturday we cleaned and raked leaves and then spent the afternoon golfing (he golfed...

I'm moving backward in this post since that's how the photos loaded and I'm lazy like that. It is pumpkin time. Morgan wanted to enter the Story Pumpkin contest at her school, so her very artistic mom helped her create a Harry Potter pumpkin. Cute! Chloe had a Witches Night Out with her Activity Days group. They took some gifts to the hospital.  My dad has been recuperating from a knee replacement, so we've been keeping him supplied with milk shakes in the hospital and care center. Adelle and Creed went with my mom and I to visit him one day and let's just say it was a short visit. Ha ha.  This is beautiful baby Ella Grover. Such a cutie! We went to the Red Barn to get our pumpkins. They are more expensive there, but it's owned by people in our stake and we like to support them. It always seems like one kid is having a meltdown when we do this, but .....good times, right! I was excited when Gary D. Sch...

We've been busy with lots of things lately. I'm back at work, so that's a big adjustment after having summer off. Caleb has been keeping busy with cross country practice and meets. I think he's enjoyed it, although he didn't enjoy the one meet where the track was flooded and he was basically running through a lake--what a trooper. He's a good kid who doesn't complain much. It's been fun to watch his meets.    One Saturday when Kory and I didn't have the kids we drove over to Boise with my mom and dad and went through the Boise temple with my niece Kamille. She's getting ready to go on her mission to the Phillippines and I'm really excited for and proud of her. It was a special day and we all had dinner at Zupa's before we headed our separate ways. On the way home, we were all singing along to the Beach Boys and other of dad's favorites. Good times! One Sunday we headed up to Driggs to hang out with Kory's dad be...
