March 2020

March 2020 turned out to be a very interesting, turbulent, and a different month than we've ever experienced before.  I want to document some of the dates and happenings. We have learned all about Social/Physical Distancing, being in isolation or quarantine, only going to the store rarely, and staying 6 feet away from everyone.

*March 7 - was supposed to be our March family party, but because there were several of us that were not feeling well we decided to postpone it. Little did we know it was the beginning of a lot of cancelations and disappointments.

*March 11 -  The Utah Jazz game was canceled, then the whole NBA shut down, because of the Coronavirus or Covid 19.

*March 12 - The Church announced that all church meetings would be suspended until further notice.  That means Church at home!

*March 14 - All temples closed!

*March 19 - We made the decision to distance ourselves from my parents, we won't go to their house, and they won't come here.  They are in the high risk group for getting Covid-19. I take things and put them on their porch.  It has been really hard!

*March 25 - Governor Little issued a "Stay at Home" order.  This means only essential businesses open.  No hair or nail salons, no gyms, no dining in at restaurants, no school, etc.  It has been really hard, and really different.  

Now for some pictures of the things that have happened.


Some of us were able to go bowling a couple of times before everything got shut down.  Randy almost scored 200 in one game!

Molly and Hallie got to come spend the night one night.  We had a great time!

Brian brought Clark down to visit one day, his hair was fixed so cute, and he asked me to take his picture. He was so smiley and wanted to pose so cute.  He said it was picture day. I found out later that it was picture day for Maden and Annie at school.  Isn't he just the cutest?

Warning! If you're squeamish, don't look at this next picture!

No, I didn't beat up Blake! The bottom right is from where he had a basil cell carcinoma skin cancer removed, then the next day, he had a little accident when he was trying to load the 4Wheeler into Randy's pickup.  The ramps slipped off the tailgate, and the four wheeler's back wheels fell to the ground knocking Blake off, and he hit his head on the pavement.  The blood in the picture on the left is from the blood on his head running down his face.  We decided his head was like road rash and not a cut needing stitches.  It was pretty scary! But, he was fine!

Photo credit: Josh Packer. I love this building, and going there.  I went on March 13th and didn't want to leave, because I found out while I was there that it would be closed until further notice.  I was so sad when I left, and have missed it so much.

This little Hallie girl loves to be on the table! This was the last time I was at my parents house, I wish I would have taken more pictures of them!


We had an outlet in the garage that quit working, of course it was the one that ran the fridge and freezer.  Jared came to fix it, and of course it wasn't an easy fix.  He had to go up into the attic and reroute the wires. 

Randy found an archery range down by the Rose Ponds.  It's really a nice area, Ryder loves it there.  He pretends to shoot an imaginary arrow just like his dad.  He loves the stands with stairs.  We had a nice time being out in the fresh air and walking around.  Blake, Randy and Ryder have been back many times.

Ryder found a basketball hoop like we have at the Nissan store! Clark has called me on FaceTime quite often.  I love these cute pictures I took while we were talking.  He makes up games for us to play, and tells me about his day.

We have some little flowers trying to show their heads! 
Jerry Anderson had a diesel tank he wanted to sell, so Jared arranged for Brent to buy it.  Randy Gneiting brought his tractor over to help lift the tank onto the trailer.

We took Molly her birthday present.  She loved it! I can't believe she's 5! How does that happen? She is such a delightful, happy girl. Love you, Molly!

Celia sent these pictures of Maden, Annie and Clark doing their schoolwork.  Clark thought it was funny to wear all the hair scrunchies on his arms. 

Molly's 5! There was even a beautiful rainbow on her birthday! Maybe Brody was saying Happy Birthday, Sister! Since she couldn't have a real party, she had a drive by party.  She loved it, and was so happy to see everyone as they drove by.
