When I've Grown a Foot or Two

It's January, so that means it's time to get out the measuring board and see how everyone has grown. Andy made her debut on the board and she didn't like holding still to get measured. 

Morgan, Chloe, and Caleb have all been growing like weeds, but Caleb was the winner at 4 inches. No wonder his pants are always too short!





As a b-day present we offered to pay for a photo sitting for Ryker. More like a photo-anything-but-sitting. The best shots were taken in the first ten seconds but the further he got into it, the less he wanted to cooperate.

Had to get a little shot of Phoebe dressed up as a cowgirl for the Skyline/Blackfoot game.

Kory had some meetings in Rexburg this past week, so I got to spend some extra time with him, hanging in the Crossroads and my office. He decided to take a little catnap on my beanbag. We went to the Lindsey Stirling concert, which was great, but we were on the third row and the bass was so loud we lost a little bit of our hearing.


Saturday we partied! We went to Lava Hot Springs in the morning and soaked for about an hour. Then, that afternoon we went to the movie Darkest Hour about World War II and then we used a gift certificate we had for Cafe Sabor and had dinner. It was a nice relaxing weekend.

We did a little shopping at Winco. When I got inside I realized Kory wasn't with me, so I looked back outside and saw that he had stopped to help a handicapped man with his groceries. I went back inside to wait because it was freezing. It seemed like it was taking him a long time to come in, when all of the sudden the doors opened, and here came Kory riding on his little doo-hickey. It was the funniest sight and caught me off guard so I was laughing pretty hard. He always makes me laugh.

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.

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...

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 m...
