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.

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.

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...

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...
