March 2020



On March 6, Kory, Chloe, and I decided to go see Phoebe in action at her job at the Olive Garden and treated ourselves to a delicious dinner. Luckily, Phoebe was able to join us because she was at the end of her shift.



On March 13, Kory and I went to dinner at the Sandpiper for my birthday, then walked for a minute along the Greenbelt. Then we went to the mall and I got myself some birthday presents. This was also the beginning of the Covid19 scare, so things were starting to shut down a little and they cancelled church that weekend. On March 14, Kory and I grabbed some pie from Broulims to celebrate Pie Day.


On March 18, we had an early birthday party for Chloe, since she would be at her mom’s on her actual birthday. We had cake and ice cream and played basketball and had a little dance party. 




Things continued shutting down over the next week, so Kory and I both started working from home a lot more. We went out to eat with Phoebe and Isaac on March 21—the only time I haven’t seen a wait at Texas Roadhouse. On the 22nd, Kory and I had our church at home and then went for a drive through Swan Valley, Driggs, Ashton, and home.



The next week was pretty mellow. The kids were at their mom’s for Spring Break. Morgan was with her Dad in Utah and got to feel the earthquake! When she got back, Phoebe treated her to a makeover and her mom got flowers for her, so she got to feel special that day. We also watched Cheaper by the Dozen on Disney Plus.




On the 30th I went back to Rexburg to pick up some stuff from my office and have a socially distant visit with my sister. Kory and I officially set up office in our home and figured out how to share our workspace. The kids had board game marathons and in general spent more time together than they have in years. I think we all kind of enjoyed wiping our calendars clean and enjoying our time together. Just to keep things exciting, Idaho had an earthquake too and we just basically decided the world was ending.

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...
