October 2020

On October 2, Kory started to get feverish and achy. As his symptoms lasted, we decided to get him tested for COVID. We ended up going to Madison Memorial in Rexburg for his test on October 4. He started quarantining and we did too, since we had been exposed. I started to get a cold on October 7 but after a few days lost my taste and smell, so I got tested for COVID on October 12. Both of us were positive for COVID. So, we had a long few weeks teaching from home and quarantining. Caleb and Chloe stayed home from school because we weren’t sure if they’d get it. They never seemed to show symptoms. It was a pretty mellow month with lots of books, puzzles, and movie nights as a family. Kory and I didn’t feel great, but we didn’t suffer some of the more severe symptoms others have.











On October 24 we finally felt we were safe enough to see the kids, so we had fun hanging out with Austin, Leah, and the girls. That night we drove up to St. Anthony and had pizza at a new restaurant there and took my parents with us. We had a fun time visiting and enjoying some yummy food. We also had our first snowstorm of the season and on the way home saw a six-car pile up at the Lorenzo Bridge. We were happy to get home safely.




On the 26th we had the kids over for a Halloween party plus a second birthday party for Caleb. We had cake and ice cream for Caleb. He got a longboard, the Legend of Zelda game, some DVDs and some clothes. We had pizza and snacks and visited and played with the grandkids. A few people decided to carve/paint pumpkins, but Morgan was the only one who finished one. Chloe and Caleb went to Skyline seminary on Tuesday for a special 3 Nephi activity.










On the 31st we took Chloe and her friend Cassidy and Caleb to Lagoon. We had promised to take them to Frightmares, but then we got COVID, so this was pretty much the only available day to do it. The weather was perfect and it wasn’t too crowded. We had a nice time.

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...
