July 2021
On July 2, we had fun visiting with Jodi’s family from Vernal.
July 3 was
the day of all of the 4th of July celebrations. We had an early
morning breakfast with Austin’s family and the kids, then Kenzie joined us, and
we all watched the parade with Leah’s family near Tautphaus Park. Later that
day we had a barbeque and Austin made delicious smashburgers. Later, Kory, me,
Austin, Andy, Lakyn, and Isaac watched the fireworks down at Snake River
Landing. We rode our bikes down and back, which was quite the adventure with
car and pedestrian traffic. Caleb had to work and Chloe watched with friends.
July 4th was Sunday, so we went to church, visited in Sugar
City, and watched Driveway of Fire at the Sorenson’s house. On Monday, July 5th,
we went to Rexburg Rapids with Kenzie and Greg, Austin and Stevie and Chloe and
her friend Emily. It was a great day.
On July 8, Morgan biked down to Orange Leaf with her young women group to have some frozen yogurt.
I had been telling Kory about this book he should
read, Mrs. Mike. So, he wanted to remind me to look for it at my office.
So one day I got up and found this sticky note: Book “This Is Mike.” Yes, he
may have a slight hearing problem. We got a good laugh from that.
On July 9, Joelle, me, and Anne hosted a retirement party for our friend
Paula. It was a lot of fun to have so many from the department stop by. That
night, Andy wanted to have a sleepover at “Bampa’s House,” so Austin and Morgan
made a bed on the floor in the basement and watched movies with her until she
fell asleep. On the 15th, Joelle and I hosted a baby shower for
Diantha, another friend in the department, so we were quite the little social
butterflies that week!
On July 14th McKenzie and Austin’s families invited us to meet them at the Shelley pool for swimming. It’s a cute little community pool and we had fun. After, we got some food from Artic Circle and ate and played in the park.
On the 17th, we took everyone to eat at Texas Roadhouse and
had Madi as our server.
On July 21st, we joined Julie Nef’s family for some baptisms and took Morgan, Caleb, and Chloe. It was a nice afternoon.
On July 25th,
we met my family at the Ricks Gardens at BYU-Idaho to enjoy the beauty. It was
a pretty night.
On July 26th, we celebrated Kory’s 58th birthday with some dessert and the kids came over. I also officially turned in my grades for the semester that day and started my vacation!
On the 27th, Kory
and I drove down to Layton to do a fireside for my brother’s ward youth group.
Kelley cooked us a delicious dinner beforehand. It was fun to visit with their
family. Kory and I listened to the Mistborn series on audio book driving
down and back. We enjoyed it.
On July 28th, Kory joined Caleb at Young Men’s camp up in Driggs and they biked the Tetonia to Ashton rail trail. They got rained on and had quite a bit of wind, but they did the whole thing.
That same day, I went to lunch in Rexburg with my friend Kris Powell, who I haven’t seen since COVID.
On July 31st, we took the kids to eat at Olive Garden to
celebrate Phoebe’s last day of work! Her manager was so nice, she gave us a
complimentary dinner! Phoebe is taking a break from work to get ready to start
Cosmetology classes at Austin Kade in August.
It was a hot month, so we enjoyed the air conditioning, spent some fun
time babysitting Kenzie’s boys and enjoyed the lazy days of summer.
