July Adventures

Here are a few of our July adventures. On the night before the 4th we went to our neighbor's annual Driveway of Fire which has become a really fun event for the neighborhood. So glad they do it. 

On the 4th, Kory and I headed to Victor for the parade and a picnic with his dad and Lori, Jared, and Josh's families. We had a great time eating, visiting, 4-wheeling, and visiting the cemetery.





Kory was just trying out our burial spot. Ha!


That night my parents came and joined us to watch the big Melaleuca fireworks because you can see it really well just outside our neighborhood. 

On another night, we took the kids to the World's Best Corndogs food truck in Rexburg, then we hit Porter Park, Sugar City Park, and took a Razor ride on my dad's Razor. We know how to party.


The other day, Kory and I took a little road trip. We drove up I-15 to Spencer and had a great burger at the Spencer Grill. Then we got off on the Red Rock Road and drove over to where it connects with I-20 by Henry's Lake. It's a really pretty drive.



On Sunday we went for a little drive up to Bone and had a nice view of a wildfire over by the Menan Buttes.

Today was Chloe's send-off to Girl's Camp. This is her first year and she's very nervous, but I know she'll love it. Kory is going up tomorrow to go on the hike with her, so hopefully, that will help her not be so nervous.

 Our Relief Society presidency gave the Young Women a little send-off with some homemade cinnamon rolls, provided by Cheryl (in blue). She's amazing. Our secretary, Heidi, stopped by after her morning bike ride. The Webelos happened to be heading off to day-camp at the same time so they helped themselves to some chocolate milk and treats.

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
