Anniversary June 12

Our cute friends own these cute cabins in Ashton. They gave us a night for our anniversary. It was so nice and not too far from home. They are the best. 

Our Temple

This is the Idaho Falls temple where Ray and I were sealed. I love this picture, it might be my favorite picture of "our Temple"

Goodbye St. George

Sun & FUN

The House was Amazing

We were supposed to bring a craft and I brought crocheting to teach everyone but these 2 were the only ones that learned. They were good sports. Thanks Trisha and Amanda. 

Girls Getaway June 2020

Two of Tiff's people couldn't go on their sister week so Brooke and I got to tag along. It was a blast and by blast I mean I pretty much stayed at the house the whole time. There were still covid restrictions so we had good delivered and only left the house 1 day to go eat and shop. It was so relaxing 

See the Tetons

I took these on my way home from Jerika's the other night. The Tetons are really pretty.  I like them from afar not going to hike them ever.  And it's finally June. Thank goodness. 

Sierra's Shower

Not my best picture taking work. I wasn't sure if she really wanted me to take pics so I was a slacker

The views were amazing May 2020

Look how pretty it was on our ride. We really do live in a beautiful place. 

Razor Ride

We went on. Razor Ride with the Stoddard's. I was nervous but I did it and it was actually fun. I would totally do it again. 

Jaguar anyone

Pedicure = Normalcy?

I got a pedicure finally, they were closed during the first part of covid. The mask wasn't super fun. I really feel sorry for people that have to wear them all the time. 

Life still keeps moving

Self explanatory except the end one. Ray ordered a million of the same things on Amazon and we had to send them back. I'm not even sure we got a refund. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Jake still May 2020

This dog makes me crazy most of the time but I do love him. Anyway I was just thinking I should have taken pictures of my many things I did this day. I stay pretty busy on Saturdays trying new things. 

2020 Graduation Kaden

This was 2020 graduation for Kaden. Yup we watched it from home. It was so crazy. 

Spending Freeze

Ray and I did a spending Freeze for a week. It actually taught me we should have done it for longer. But baby steps right. It was a week full of treats at work. I've gained so much weight. 

Rexburg Temple

I didn't take these but they were too beautiful not to share. 

Ray's birthday May 19

Labeled for your understanding

Bunco again Yayyyyyyy

We took a few months off for Bunco. We were so happy to be back together. 

COVID pandemic cocororo Hell

Whatever you call it we hate it  I really should post daily about this but it would depress everyone reading this but I felt like I should acknowledge it again. These are really how I feel. Except for the fact we are working so many hours at work and it's exhausting. I am so thankful though that we work where we can stay open. There are a lot of people that can't say the same and are struggling. 

Ever Wonder

Does anyone wonder why I have collages for everything? My blogspot app isn't really "friendly" with my gallery app so this is the best way to handle it. So here are some random pics. I think they explain themselves except the guy in the pic with me is Adam trying to get me followers on Instagram. 

Great week

Admiring my new car from afar, rainbows at the temple, best mom ever and breakfast of champions. It doesn't take much to make me happy I guess. 

Cieras Spa May 2020

This cute girl did pedicures on all of us. So we did one for her. I love these people. We always have so much fun. 

On April 30th we did a thing

Who buys a car during a global pandemic?  Us it was us are we idiots or did we get an amazing deal. Kinlee needed a car so we sold her ours. What else was I supposed to do?

Another Misc

Mom made treat and various other very important items if business. 

iPhones are dumb FYI

Cuties

Then I took a couple of these 2 cuties and the Tetons. We were at their house doing the pictures.

Engagement Photos

Attley and Sierra wanted us to take their engagement photos. There were lots of helpers but Allisa did the actual photos. 

And yes we did have fun  

We laughed a lot  🤣🤣🤣

Shed Demo

Bee infested shed Demo party

Another COVID project Jam

AIR FRYER

Maybe the best purchase ever. I love this thing 

Brayli is 16

How did that happen. Look at the cute yard sign. Perfect for quarantine. 

2 of the 6

2 of the six of these are my actual posts (meaning I didn't make them up) on Instagram can you guess which 2?

I don't even know

So really most if my pictures on my phone are Covid memes because that is what is keeping me going right now. Do I will do some more and remember I really need to take more pictures less memes and videos. 

April 15 Snow

I realize the pictures are the sameish but I'm so over the snow. Well at least I was in April. I am really trying to get caught up here. It's really in the high 90's today but winter was too long. 

New Washer and Dryer

More COVID

2020

Dear Diary 2020 Edition,

In ❄️ January, 🔥 Australia caught on fire. I don’t even know if that fire was put out, because we straight up almost went to war with Iran 🇮🇷 . We might actually still be almost at war with them 🤔. I don’t know, because 👩 Jen Aniston and 👨🏻 Brad Pitt spoke to one another at an awards 🏆 show and everyone flipped the crap out 😲, but then there was this thing happening in 🦇 🇨🇳 China, then 👑 Prince Harry and Megan ✌🏼 peaced out of the Royal family, and there was the whole impeachment trial 👩‍⚖️ , and then corona virus 🦠 showed up in the US ✔️“officially,” but then 🏀 Kobe died 😭and UK 🇬🇧 peaced out of the European Union.

In February, 🌽 Iowa pooped 💩 itself with the caucus results and the president was acquitted and the 👩🏼‍💼Speaker of the House took ten. Whole. years. to rip up a speech , but then The👨‍🔬 🌎WHO decided to give this virus a name COVID-19, which confused 🤔some really important people 👔 in charge of, like, our lives, into thinking there were 18 other versions before it, but then Harvey Weinstein was found guilty👨🏻‍⚖️, and 🇺🇸 Americans started asking if Corona beer 🍺 was safe to drink🤦🏻‍♀️, and everyone on Facebook became a doctor 👨‍⚕️ who just knew the 🤒flu like killed way more people than COVID 1 through 18.

In March, stuff hit the fan👿. Warren dropped out of the presidential race and Sanders was like Bernie or bust 💥, but then Italy 🇮🇹 shut its whole country down 🚷, and then COVID Not 1 through 18 officially become what everyone already realized, a 😱pandemic and then a nationwide state of emergency 🆘was declared in US 🇺🇸 , but it didn’t really change anything, so everyone was confused or thought it was still just a flu 💁🏻‍♀️, but then COVID Not 18 was like ya’ll not taking me seriously? 💡 I’m gonna infect the one celebrity everyone loves and totally infected Tom Hanks👨🏻, get y’all to close all of the schools so y’all can 🙏🏼 appreciate teachers 👩‍🏫 for once (because you can’t teach them anything other than how to use a touch screen🤦🏻‍♀️ ) close down all of salons so you can’t get your 💇‍♂️ hair or your nails done💅 , everyone had to work from home and attend Zoom meetings in their underwear. The 📉 DOW took a crap 💩 on itself, and most of us still don’t understand why the stock market is so important or even a thing 🤔 (I still don’t), We were then all introduced to 🐅 Tiger King and the ONE thing we can all agree on this year , 👍🏼Carol totally killed her husband⚰️ ..... whacked him! And then Netflix was like you’re welcome, and we all realized there was no way we were washing our hands enough in the first place because all of our hands are now dry and gross and were all searching for lotion now.

In 🌧 April, Bernie finally busted✌🏼 himself out of the presidential race 🏃 , but then NYC 🗽became the set of The Walking Dead 💀 and we learned that no one has face masks 😷, ventilators, or toilet paper, or THE FREAKING SWIFFER WET JET LIQUID , and by now our 🦁outgrowth is showing, so there’s a shortage on 📦 box hair dye and all of our hair dressers are like , 😱 NO DONT DO IT!!! But, then Kim Jong-Un died, but then he came back to life … or did he? Who knows, because then the Pentagon released 🎥 videos of UFOs and nobody cared, and we were like man, it’s only April….

In 💐 May, the biblical end times kicked off , historical locust swarms, we learned of murder hornets 🐝 and realized that 2020 was the start of the Hunger Games🙈 however people forgot to let us know. people legit started to protest lockdown measures with 🔫 AR-15s, 🏀⚾️sports events were cancelled everywhere. But then people all over America finally reached a breaking point with race issues and violence. There were 🗣protests in every city🌃 ,which was confusing to some of us because people were definitely gathering in 👫crowds of more than 🖐🏼🤚🏼10 and for sure closer than 6 foot away ⬅️➡️from each other . Those people must have forgotten about the 😖pandemic called COVID Not One Through 18. Media 📺 🗞 struggled with how to 🤬focus on two important things at once, people in general struggle to focus on more than one important thing. A dead whale 🐋 was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest 🌳 after monkeys 🐒 stole COVID 1 Through 19 from a lab 🔬 and ran off with them, and either in May or April (no one is keeping track of time now) that a giant asteroid ☄️ narrowly missed the Earth🌍.

In ☀️ June, common sense just got thrown 🤾🏼 straight out the window and somehow 😷 wearing masks became a 🏛political thing, but then everyone sort of remembered there was a pandemic, then 👨‍🔬scientists announced they found a mysterious undiscovered mass at the center of the earth, and everyone was like 🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏻‍♀️🚧DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH IT, but then everyone took a pause to realize that people actually believed Gone With The Wind 💨 was like non-fiction, but then it was also announced that there is a strange 🛰radio signal coming from somewhere in the universe 🌌 that repeats itself every so many days 🗓 , and everyone was like 👽 DON’T YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH IT‼️🚫 but then America reopened 🙌🏼from the shut down that actually wasn’t even a shut down, and so far, things have gone spectacularly .... not that great 👎🏼. All of the Karen’s came out at once, and people started tearing down 🔨 statues. Everyone is on Facebook arguing 🤼‍♀️ about masks 👃🏼, but then Florida 🏖 was like hold my beer 🍺 and let me show you how we’re number one 🥇 in all things, including new Not Corona Beer Coronavirus. Then we learned there was a massive dust cloud ☁️ coming straight at us 📍from the Sahara Desert 🐫 , which is totally normal, but this is 2020, so the 👻 ghost mummy thing is most likely in that dust cloud. We then 📚 learned of meth-gators 🐊 , and I'm like that is so not on my flipping 2020 Bingo card 😡 can we use it as the free space?? 🤷🏻 Then we learned that the Congo's worst ever Ebola 🚨 outbreak is over 😓, and we were all like, there was an Ebola outbreak that was the worse ever? 👀 ....... and don’t forget we just discovered FLYING SNAKES! 🐍, seriously! FLYING SNAKES!!!!

So here comes July….Ghislaine Maxwell 👩🚔gets arrested, people 👥 all over America 🇺🇲 continue protests on race issues and violence there were 🗣protests in every city 🌃, Gun violence and shootings 🔫 occuring Across the Country 🌏 but Chicago 🌆 takes the 🎂 on gun violence,

Houston’s Chinese Consulate 🏛 was closed, we ended the month with random seeds 🌱being shipped to the USA 🇺🇲 from China🇨🇳

At the end of July we were over it , just tell us what’s next .... 👽 Aliens? 🔱Zeus? ☄️ Asteroids? Artificial Intelligence becomes self aware? Can it just be something cool 😎 or fun for once? Maybe even a good laugh , like hahaha 😂 April Fools! We all actually wouldn’t mind that joke at this point.

But August is like here I'll show you hold my beer 🍺, Spain’s Former King 🤴 👑 leaves, 2 giant 💥explosion in Beirut 🇱🇧 killing at least 220 👥 people and injuring 7000 more, A 💣grenade in North Cameroon🇨🇲 killed 15👥 people, A Derecho that traveled more than 700 miles (Inland Hurricane) 🌬💨 across 6 midwest States (NE, IA, IL, IN, WI, MI) killed one 🚴‍♂️ in Eastern Iowa and left more than 800,000 👥 without ⚡🔌power and shutting down gas stations ⛽ for miles. And folks we are only 10 days 🗓 in!

Maybe the rest of Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec can let us have a break 🏖🌴!

Also, why didn't I know about the whale 🐋🐳 in the Amazon? Or a few other things because I just can’t keep up anymore!
