Fall Fun

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 before he heads back to Victor. It was a beautiful fall day and Kory and Chloe got some nice pics at the cemetery.


 Chloe loves it when we get to babysit our grandson Ryker. (The rest of us like it too.) He's a spunky kid who is full of life! Can't wait until we know what he is jabbering at us.




Kory and I had a fun date night this weekend and ate at Krung Thep (great Thai food) and walked around the green belt. It was a really pretty fall night. 

We loved listening to conference and Kory took Austin and Caleb to the priesthood session then to dinner at Freddy's.

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
