Hailstorm from Heck

Well, it's that time of year where the semester is wrapping up. As usual, that means I only have a few things left to grade and so I'm updating my blog instead. :) This is a picture of me and one of my students. It doesn't seem obvious in this picture, but we look a lot alike. In fact, one day after class, we were chatting and I said, "Do you feel like we look alike" and she said, "Yes!" I told a couple of my friends who have her in other classes and they said, "oh my goodness, yes you do look alike." So we joke around that I'm her birth mom, because she said she doesn't look like anyone else in her family. 

 Caleb had a great run at the Madison Track Meet. He was placed in the slower heat for the mile, but after the first lap, he just pulled into the lead and stayed there. At one point he was way ahead of everyone else, kind of like Isaac in the good old days. I think it shocked his coaches, so he will be running in the faster heats from now on. I talked to his cross country coach and she said, "You never know what you're going to get with Caleb." I think he liked the feeling of being out front, so maybe he'll kick it into gear more often. It was fun to see my niece Ainsley run for Madison. She was second in the mile by about half a second, so she did great!






On Saturday night we had a tornado warning, and we were right near the edge of the bad storm. Chloe was hyperventilating, but Kory, who loves weather, had all the blinds up and a chair sitting in front of the window to watch. Then, a hail storm with quarter sized hail blew through and pretty much trashed the vinyl siding of everyone in our ward. We got it on one side of our house.

The house insurance companies are being flooded with calls. 
Sunday, Andy came for a visit--with her parents, ;). 




 We've been helping Lakyn get all of the stuff out of her apartment into her house, so here's Morgan shooting a selfie.

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...

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.

January/February 2023

  January 2023 On January 3 we helped Caleb move back into his apartment on campus and took Phoebe to Fuji for her birthday dinner. On the 7 th , we went to Austin and Leah’s and had some delicious Olive Garden takeout and watched some of Matilda the Musical. On January 12, we went through the Rexburg temple with my niece Maddie. On January 14 th , I went to a baby shower for my niece Kami. She is the first grandchild to have a baby, so this will be my parents first great-grandchild. On the 27 th , we had a new addition to our household. That afternoon, Phoebe asked me if there was any way we could consider getting another cat. Her friend had to move and wouldn’t be able to take the cat to the new location. For some reason, I agreed, and she picked him up that afternoon. He’s an orange cat, and was originally named Scar, but our girls named him Todd after the Fox and the Hound . Binx was NOT happy at the new family member. He hissed and growled at Todd, who didn’t seem overly c...
