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.

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...

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.

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...
