Vacation

This is what scripture study looks like at our house. 


On the 14th after work, Kory and I headed down to Utah. We stopped for dinner at In n Out and then checked into our hotel and headed over to Temple Square to wait in line for standby tickets for the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert. We waited for a couple of hours, most of which was warm in the tabernacle. Luckily, we got in. We were up in the nosebleeds, but it was great. The guest performers were Sutton Foster and Hugh Bonneville. It was awesome.


After the concert, we wandered around temple square to look at the lights and then grabbed some hot chocolate and went back to our hotel.


Kory had a CES meeting all day Friday, so I met up with some friends. Brenda and I had breakfast at a cafe in the Grand America hotel. It was awesome.

Later, Wendy and Annie and I met for lunch (although I was stuffed) at the Blue Lemon. Then we went to Temple Square and listened to Madison's Bel Cantos choir sing in the Church Office Building and the Joseph Smith Memorial. They are amazing. My niece, Ellie, is in the choir and my sister, Kristi, was attending as a chaperone, so it was fun hanging out with them. President Eyring's grandson is in the choir, so he came to listen and I snapped a little stalker photo of him.


We had fun with the Light the World vending machine in the Joseph Smith Memorial. I bought a couple of chickens. :)


We headed home right after Kory's meetings ended, stopping for a quick dinner at Maddox. The next morning, we only had Chloe and Phoebe at home so we decided to take them out for breakfast at Abracadabras. I had the Captain Crunch encrusted french toast. Oh my! So good.

Random foot rub from Kory. :)


On Monday, the 18th, the kids went to their mom's. Morgan hung around with me while I did lots of last minute errands. We spent some time at Kristi's house and then at my mom's. Morgan was thrilled to make some snickerdoodles with my mom.

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
