Pumpkin Time

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. Schmidt came to BYUI. I had my young adult literature students read his books in lit circles and then he did a reading and a keynote address on campus. I was lucky enough to go to dinner with him along with some other professors. He is such a classy, talented man of faith and I really admire him.

We were surprised with a snow dump last weekend. It melted quickly.

 Caleb had his last few races and even got a medal at his District meet for the JV team. He was so excited. These are some pics from his relay at Tautphas Park. I think he was the only runner running in jeans, but it was COLD!




My niece Ainsley was there too, running for Madison, so I cheered her on.





 Phoebe went to Homecoming. She bought a cute new dress and had fun with her group.

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
