Today is a Sunday. Things are about the same here, as far as the virus goes. Businesses have opened up again but most people wear masks everywhere. Some stores won't let you in unless you have a mask and some even limit the amount of people who can be in the store at one time and you have to wait outside until others come out. We would have been home from our big trip back east just a couple of days had we still been able to go. 2 weeks ago today we went on an impromptu camping trip up to Payson Lakes. Mae, Mike and Summer, and Dave went up. We had a good time. it was nice to go camping again. We went up Sunday morning, set up camp then drove back down for Rians Seminary graduation. 

Since school had remained closed for the entire year, graduation was quite a bit different this year for the class of 2020. It was a drive through and we all parked in the school parking lot to listen to the speakers then we waited for our turn to drive through for her to walk. It turned out very nice considering the circumstances. Now Rian is signed up for real estate school then she will start up UVU this fall. She is planning on moving to Provo with her friend Ali whom she met while in Africa last year. 

The boys also put together a prom so both Kendell and Rian got to go together. They went to Ruby River for dinner, the high school for pictures, and Hayden Roundy's house for the dance. Rian went with Wyatt, Kendell went with Cole French. 

Shelby also had an outdoor recital as well for cheer. 

We also had a fun little graduation parade here in town for all the Genola graduates. 

Kort was introducing Chip to Mr. Bully. Not sure how Chip felt about it. 

We are excited to get our new little puppy this week. She is a cavalier king charles and very sweet. We have decided to name her CoCo. We will breed her to chip one day and get Cavapoos. 

Gray was finally able to get her braces off!

Brian found a snake and brought home for the kids to play with. 

We took out the old stick on backsplash downstairs and replaced it with cute tile. 

Kort mowed the lawn for us once. 

Gray and Shelby were tired of their room so they did a little painting. 

Last week the had State Finals rodeo in St. George and Kendell wanted to go so I took her down on Wednesday along with Kort, Gray and Shelby and we stayed with mom and dad for a couple days. It was good to see them since we haven't since January on our way home from Arizona. We rode the golf cart around, had dinner at Kims house, went to the Corn Dog truck for lunch, and just had a good time visiting. Gray and I met Kim at the Chuckawalla trail friday morning for a hike and she tripped and fell and hurt her knee pretty good. I felt really bad. She says she is pretty sore still. 

Tait and Cael decided to come hang out with us for the weekend. They came down Thursday night and went home today. They rode horses, 4 wheelers, watched movies, and turned off water for Brian at 2:30 in the morning. Candice and Gary just bought a camping trailer too so I'm excited to be able to camping with them sometime hopefully. 

Tait is currently on his "mission Intermission".
