February
We started February with a little birthday party for Friend, Morgan’s
teddy bear. The night before, she gave him a spa day. The day of his birthday, we
sang to him, blew out the candles on a pretend birthday cake, and gave him some
pretend presents! I’m sure Friend was very touched! Morgan also got her last
baby teeth pulled that day to get ready for braces.
On February 5, we had a CES training for employees and spouses. One of
Jason’s friends let us use his amazing theatre room to watch the video. On
February 6, my mom hosted all of the kids and spouses for an amazing dinner of
prime rib, shrimp, rolls, salad, etc! It was fun to be together with no kids
(no offense kids) so that we could visit.
On the 7th, the Kunz families gathered at Josh and Kasey’s for
a Superbowl Watching party. We had tons of delicious food-ribs, ham sandwiches,
tons and tons of dips and chips and snacks. It was great. The game was pretty
grim. We were cheering for the Chiefs and they were playing the Buccaneers.
Around halftime, Kory was hiding out in the upstairs bedroom, Josh later joined
him to avoid watching the game. Josh said it was actually easier to have them
lose by a long way rather than a super close game. So, people were bummed, but
we had fun with the relatives anyway.
Morgan and Chloe had some fun making Valentine’s baskets. Morgan’s
featured handsome Squidward (from Spongebob) and Chloe did a shrine to Harry
Styles. Chloe is in high school, but her Spanish class decided to give
Valentines and do boxes.
For our 7th wedding anniversary weekend, we went up to Driggs.
We wanted to get a cool Airbnb, but it was President’s Day weekend and
everything was booked. We ended up staying at the Super 8 in Driggs! Haha.
Anyway, we drove up Friday night after work and there was freezing fog, so we
had to pull over a few times to scrape off the iced over windshield. It was a
little scary.
We checked into the hotel, then we went to the Brakeman in Victor for
some hamburgers. They were delicious! We then stopped at Broulims to get some
snacks. We watched some DVDs and then went to sleep. On Saturday, we ate the
breakfast at the hotel, then, since no one was in the hot tub, we spent some
time in the hot tub. Then we headed up to Teton Canyon to do some x-country
skiing. I used to x-country ski a lot in
the winter, but haven’t gone since I got married. Kory has downhill skied but
not x-country, so we had to get used to it. I was really out of shape, so it
was slow going, but it was beautiful scenery and not too crowded with people
while we were there. We had a good time! After that , we just vegged. We weren’t
super hungry, so we got some fried chicken from Broulims, rather than eating
out.
Sunday morning we watched our sacrament ward meeting on Youtube and then
headed home. We stopped off at Kristi’s to see Ellie, who had returned from her
mission to Colorado. It was great to see her.
Monday was a holiday, but we just did a lot of our usual work around the
house, since we’d been gone for a couple of days. We did go to Kneaders for
some French toast and later to Panera for lunch.
On Saturday, the 20th, we moved a bunch of Lakyn’s stuff into
a storage unit. That night the kids went to McKenzie’s to watch a movie and we
went to the Skyline/Hillcrest game. We were cheering for Skyline, because Kory
teaches there, but Kory’s nephew Sam is on the Hillcrest team, so we were
pretty much cheering for both. Jared and Josh were there too.
On February 24 we went to Skyline to see Caleb perform in the radio-play
version of Dracula. He did a great job and had a lot of lines. He played a man
who had been bitten by Dracula.
On February 26, Kory and I went to Lava Hot Springs for a soak. Later that
night we ate the Rusty Lantern in Ucon. We tried buttermilk pie, which I’ve
never eaten before.
On the 27th, we went to Sugar City to visit with Aunt Linda
and my parents. We went to lunch at the Red Rabbit Grill. On the 28th,
Ellie gave her mission report. We watched via Youtube and she did a great job.
Later, we all met at mom and dad’s to visit some more.
so... was the buttermilk pie good? I've never even heard of it!
ReplyDeleteI know, me either. It tastes a little bit like flan....custardy with a little glaze over the top.
