December

December was full of some of our usual traditions. We did our name-drawing and made a mass trip to Walmart to purchase the gifts, wrap them, and put them under the tree.


Kory and I ate at Kneaders one night and got to see our favorite baker, Madi. She's been working there for a month or so and really likes it.

I went to hear Morgan's report on Native Americans at school.

Austin and Leah were in town for the holidays, so we loved spending time with them. They came over one morning and we had breakfast and played with Andy. She is definitely in a stuffed animal phase! We were also excited to find out that Austin and Leah will be having a baby girl at the end of May, so Andy will have a sister!



On Christmas morning, the kids came over around 10:00 and we had our visit with Isaac over Skype. He's doing great and loves the area he's serving in. We look forward to having him back home with us in July.

Here's Caleb with some of the 60-70 Lego figures he requested for Christmas.



Morgan is excited to improve her art skills with the art kit she got. 

Phoebe has been quite entertained with her Rubik's Cube. 



Caleb also got a newsies hat for his costume for the musical Newsies, which he will perform in at the beginning of March.


Chloe's modeling a new game she got, Chomp Crown, or something like that.

We got all the kids together one night and saw Spiderman. 

Since Christmas we've been hanging out. Kory and Austin had a two-day Donkey Kong festival. The other kids had fun watching them and playing Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Looking forward to a great 2019.

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...
