Well, I want to report on the last couple of weeks, but I didn't bother to take any pictures, so it will be a little boring. Our anniversary was February 15, but we had the kids all weekend, and Kory was at the golf thing with his brothers, so we celebrated the following weekend. On February 17 I went to BYUI's production of Antigone. Occasionally I teach a Drama class, where we study plays and this happens to be one of those semesters. I had the class read the version of Antigone that BYUI is producing and had Richard Clifford, the director, come and talk to the class for a Q&A. In addition, three of my students are in the production. So, it was really fun to go see it. They set it in a futuristic, dystopian Greece, and it made it really interesting. Really enjoyed it. On February 18, my friends Wendy and Bob stopped by Rexburg on their way to spend a few days in West Yellowstone, so we met for lunch at Applebee's and chatted. Always great to see them. On Februar...

Well, the track season has begun. Isaac had his first race of the season at the Simplot Games at ISU last night. He did awesome, placing 15th out of over 200 runners. He got a 4:30 on the mile. Wahoo! He will run again on Saturday for the finals. I didn't get fabulous pictures, but he's the one in orange.

As some of you know, Kory lost his older brother, Todd, in a car accident about four years ago. One of the last things Todd said to his brothers was "We should go to the Pebble Beach Pro Am."  So, this year, in honor of Todd, Kory and his brothers and father are there in California watching the tournament. That definitely beats February in Idaho! They are having a great time, and have spotted some celebrities (Bill Murray) and watched their favorite golfer, Phil Mickelson, in the lead. I'm so happy he gets to do this. Bill Murray Phil Mickelson Bill Murray Kory was telling me which celebrities were there. He said, "There's this really handsome guy that all of the girls are excited about. Josh...something," "Josh Duhamel." "Oh, you know who he is?" "Uhhh, yeah." He didn't send me any pictures of him. Dang!

He also did a great Primary/FHE on the Liahona, and the kids were pretty convinced that this might be the real thing. (it's made out of a hamster wheel). Last, he is currently enjoying a great trip with his brothers and dad at the Pebble Beach Pro Am golf tournament. This is pilgrimage of sorts, since one of his brother Todd's last conversations with his brothers before he died was about going to the Pro Am tournament. So, this is the year. This is the perfect time of year to escape Idaho's frigid temps and go to California. So, Kory had a funny week. We were watching the Super Bowl at his brother Josh's house and this commercial came on which features Kory. Unfortunately, it's about nighttime urination, complete with sound effects. It's not Kory in that part of the commercial, but as soon as they say "Having trouble with night time urination" it shows Kory nodding his head and talking to a doctor. We about died laughin...

Phoebe had her last game this week and I attempted to take some pictures and also found some online to download, so here they are. Caleb was busy this weekend doing origami and seeing Kung Fu Panda 3 with some friends from school. He also really enjoys scouts with camp outs and activities. He even caught a fish while ice fishing. Chloe took advantage of the snowstorm and made a snowman in the yard. He didn't last the night. Chloe is probably our biggest reader and Kory loved this moment and took a quick picture with his cell phone. Kory, me, Caleb, and Chloe tackled some much-needed cleaning projects this weekend, including the toy room. Sent a bunch of toys to DI and a bunch more to the garbage.

So, January is almost over. For some reason January is not a big picture month for me. We're all back to school/work. Phoebe had a birthday and had multiple celebrations, including dinner at Fuji. Her basketball season is wrapping up. They haven't won a single game, but she has learned a lot and says she wants to keep playing, so maybe we'll get a basketball camp in this summer. Caleb had his DARE graduation. It was fun to watch the class video and see the cool stunts that he did. :) Caleb got a new dummy for Christmas, one that is slightly less disturbing than Slappy from Goosebumps. Here he is showing him off to the Andersons. He's also really into Star Wars and Origami, thanks to the Star Wars movie and reading the book Origami Yoda. He carries one around in his pocket all of the time now. Caleb and Chloe have decided to be safety monitors at school. As far as we can tell, it consists of going to school early and holding the door open for people. I thi...

Well, 2015, it was nice knowin' ya. We wrapped up our holiday break with a couple of fun things. We went to dinner with Kory's brothers and their wives. We ate at Fuji's and then had pie back at the house. Always fun to catch up with the family. On New Year's the kids were with their mom, so we just ate and went to a movie and were in bed pretty early. The next day we took off in the morning for Salt Lake. We had a late breakfast/lunch at The Blue Plate Diner, then we checked into our hotel. Kory watched some football and we sat in the hot tub.  That night we headed down to Temple Square to enjoy the lights. We had to make a run to Kneaders for a steamer and some soup. We visited both visitor's centers and had a good time. The crowds weren't bad at all.  The next morning, we ate breakfast at Kneaders (cinammon French toast, ,,,,,). Then we went to the Church History Museum and we really enjoyed the new exhibit on church history...
