DARE to Graduate

 Well, it's come. That time every 6th grader dreams of. DARE graduation. Our youngest has now officially finished. After a relatively brief and painless ceremony, we celebrated with some of her friends at Baskin Robbins.



 Caleb had Conference Finals for 8th grade track this week. It was fun to also get to see Ainsley run and hang out with my sister Kristi. Ainsley's relay team took first. Wahooo! Caleb ran the 800 and the mile and has plans to run all summer to increase his speed.



I stopped by Kory's work to wait for him to go to the meet with me, so I got a picture of him in his native habitat. 


Saturday we managed to squeeze a hike in in between rainstorms. We had a nice easy stroll up the Cress Creek trail and enjoyed the view. 

Later, we had Morgan spend the night and went on a little ride/walk with her. 

Today, everyone was excited to talk to Isaac, so we all hung around waiting for his call. Kory wanted to watch some golf, so everyone joined him in the bedroom.


 During the call, Caleb challenged Isaac to a push-up war, so here's Caleb.

And here is Isaac. Isaac won, btw.

This is everyone crowding around to say their last good-byes. We're so happy that he is happy serving the Lord for another year or so.

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
