January 2020








Kory and I spent a snowy New Year’s Day inside doing a puzzle and having a Lord of the Ring’s Marathon. On the 2nd, Isaac and Carlie returned from California and got back just in time to meet us at Fuji’s to celebrate Phoebe’s 19th birthday. That night, Austin and Kory stayed up until 1:00 a.m. listening to music and finishing the puzzle. The next day we drove Carlie to Rexburg and helped her get into her new apartment because Isaac had to go to work at Texas Roadhouse. Another day, we met Joelle at the house she is remodeling and spent a couple of hours washing down the walls so she can repaint.


On the 6th, Chloe got her braces on. She was happy that the process wasn’t too painful, but her mouth was sore for a couple of days. Morgan was excited to start going to Young Women’s activities and Sunday meetings. The flu knocked Chloe out for a few days. Kory and I started up our BYUI classes again. Caleb has been having musical practice for Beauty and the Beast.
On the 20th, we did our annual measuring for FHE and made goals and predictions for the year. Caleb, Morgan, and Chloe are all still growing a couple of inches each year. On the 24th Kory, Phoebe, and I went to watch the Skyline Girls’ Basketball games against Idaho Falls. On the 25th, we took Phoebe, Chloe, and Caleb to the Edge Climbing Gym and it was fun to watch them trying the different climbing walls.

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...
