Until 1988(at least here in California), the ONLY people wearing caps and gowns WERE the graduates...the only officials sitting on stage were the entire school board, principal, vice-principal and district superintendent, all wearing business attire...

Then the California Department of Education passed a series of rules regarding appropriate behavior for students, school staff and attendees as of the class of 1989...

ALL school board members, teachers, principal, vice-principal, district superintendent are to be joined BY the president of the local chamber of commerce, the county government officials(county supervisor, county sheriff, county fire chief) representing the city, the State Assemblymember AND State Senator and their staff...AND ALL members of the City Council...

All these officials(except for the sheriff) MUST also wear cap and gown and sing the "Alma mater"(school fight song) in perfect unison...

But now I'm noticing that the state Education Code is being enforced nationwide...

Why???...can't the graduation ceremony be just stand in line, wait for your name, go up, receive empty diploma case, shake principal's hand, immediately leave, go home???...

Manila:Gabriel(Gabby) Tambounar[sic]...

Tokyo:Lucy King...

Mexico City:Adrienne Bard...

Jerusalem/Tel Aviv:Dan Raviv???...

London:???

Paris:???

Moscow:???

The sad news:this is the THIRD year in a row that they're NOT together for their birthday 😢 😔 😞...

Only THIS time, Boston's on his mission to Vancouver and "Brockley" is married and living in the Riverton house!!!...

I don't think this is what Heavenly Father(and Betsy!!!) wanted for the brothers...but...

Oh, well...

Patrick and Erica Fabiola Dodds and their three kids...

Kylen John, 6, two daughters(4 and 2, forgot their names already)...

Started vlogging a month before Kylen was born...

They were living in a cramped two-bedroom apartment in nearby Petersburg, then moved up to Roanoke...

He's a fitness/lifestyle guru, she was a work-from-home mom...

Their last vlog was over a year ago...

I mean really, the older the kids get, the more BORING they are...

Content as of late:mainly TikTok vlogs transferred to YouTube, like "Don't Say the Wrong Word"...

And I thought the pre-teen crap from "Sis vs. Bro"(Karina and Ronald Kurzawa was "delulu"(like "drink/eat you favorite color for 24 hours!!!"...

Last year, middle son Ethan just graduated from high school, got a real short haircut, leading their fans to think he's going on a mission...then we see his Instagram page and noticed his girlfriend of almost TWO YEARS???...

No mention either of any college(either UNLV or Clark County Community College)...

Now youngest son Elijah is a senior in high school and now posting pictures of his workouts, shirtless(a la Krew Bingham) AND with his girlfriend...

The ONLY vlogs now are of Emberlynn's soccer games...

Beyond BORING...

A nine-hour flight from NYC-JFK to Sao Paulo, then north to RdeJ...

We were all expecting Fortaleza 😢😲🤦‍♂️...

Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell Brock that under strict city laws, neither he nor his friend Ty are allowed on ANY beach ONLY because of their underwear and swimtrunks...

Other than that, try climbing up the steep mountain to visit the Christ the Redeemer statue...

So far, they drove down to St. George, stayed the night with "Alyssa and Dallin(and the girls)", met up with "Ty and Kena", drove to McCarran-Harry Reid and flew to NYC-JFK...

Where's the next stage of this adventure???...

If they WERE flying to Fortaleza, it would be either SLC or McCarran-Harry Reid to Atlanta-Hartsfield to Sao Paulo then a commuter jet north...

Someone here insisted that they were flying to Berlin or Stuttgart on Lufthansa...

Stuttgart???:home of Daimler-Benz/Mercedes-Benz...

Unless Kesley blew her life savings ordering a GLS650-Maybach through the European Delivery Program...

Stay tuned, Fambammers...

"Science Fantastic with Michio Kaku"...

"Finding God in Physics"...

"Watchdog on Wall Street"...

"Monica Crowley"...

"The Defense Show with Ellis Henican"...

"Advice Line with Roy Masters"...

I think Art Bell started what would become "Coast to Coast AM" at TRN headquarters in Central Point, Oregon before moving it to his double-wide mobile home just outside of Pahrump, Nevada a few years later...

Rhett's senior portraits from Shanna looked great, even using his old Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as background filler...

Can't believe he's graduating next week 😳...then by early September, he's off to his mission...

Meanwhile, NOTHING FROM RIVERTON AGAIN 😲🤦‍♂️😕☹️☹️???...

Eleven days without a vlog, guys???...just old YouTube "shorts"...

We're getting VERY worried about this 😕...

Finally from McMinnville, Betsy's happily bragging about her perimenopausal symptoms and how to solve them...

🤦‍♂️😲😕🤦‍♂️...

Let Anthony Fauci explain...

From just after the plane crash until the day they moved to Franklin, neither of them received a calling from their Young Men's Priest's Quorum in their old Riverton ward...

But a week after settling down in Franklin, Brock received his VERY FIRST OFFICIAL calling:Second Counselor in the Franklin 3rd Ward Young Men's Priest's Quorum...

Poor Boston NEVER received his calling...

When the FamBam moved to McMinnville, Brock's calling was about to expire, so he was told that he was of "missionary age" and to wait until Q12 Apostle David Bednar and his staff will receive the revelation...

Why favor Brock the whole time and ignore Boston???...

A shocking Instagram story re:"For Lease"...

In case you loyal Fambammers go there to shop in person...

The actual address is...

5971 Hammerfest Drive(off Utah HIGHWAY 85, aka the Mountain View Corridor) in South Jordan...

SUITE 201...

The "northern" part of the building that's up for lease is Suite 101...

No way that Betsy would move Beddy's HQ to yet ANOTHER location...unless she and Angie White managed to find a Nashville-Franklin metro area site and kept it a secret from the FamBam...

None of us Fambammers want Beddy's to move from Utah...I mean, what would Gov. Spencer Cox say???...

Poor Betsy, stuck with her parents and in-laws again...

Still can't get used to NOT having Alyssa and the brothers all in one house on that special weekend/day...

It's also Alyssa's first Mother's Day as a mom of TWO...

It gets worse when Father's Day comes around next month...

Two weeks in New Westminster and now a new upgraded apartment and new companion("Elder Edmonton") for the remainder of his first two months up there...

I know there are a LOT of Vancouver Metro-born celebrities that hopefully he'll finally get to meet...

Ryan Reynolds, Jacob Tremblay and...

FINN WOLFHARD???...

Yes, the main star of "Stranger Things" is from this area...

The chances of Boston's meet-up with Finn are...

A)slim to none...

B)much better now that "Stranger Things" is off the air...

C)🤷‍♂️???...

After all the adventures so far, the main refrigerator in Riverton is ALMOST EMPTY(except for that half-eaten tub of acai ice cream that Boston ordered from Amazon a year ago and the Dippin Dots in the garage freezer)...

So, yesterday, they went to the Smith's Food King in South Jordan and bought a LOT of healthy food(UNLIKE Mindy Bingham, who buys very little of the "good stuff" and a LOT of snacks[mainly to appease the "Princess Hazyl"☹️☹️😕😫🤦‍♂️])

The problem:they went to the WRONG STORE!!!...

The closest REAL grocery store to the house is the Harmon's at the District at South Jordan, TWO short blocks north!!!...

Maybe the Church hierarchy/Relief Society hierarchy strongly DISCOURAGES members from shopping at ANY grocery store in Utah, EXCEPT for Costco AND Sam's Club!!!...

Yet they said that next weekend, they're(supposedly) flying to Fortaleza???...

Yes, Fambammers, they DIDN'T post anything today, but they DO have a valid reason:ORLANDO!!!...

They just came home earlier this afternoon...

This morning's story about his mold-infused apartment and how she single-handedly "saved" Boston's life has now officially gotten her in trouble with the mission president's staff...

The mission presidency called Betsy an hour ago...

He personally inspected the apartment that Boston was in and was HORRIFIED at the excessive mold everywhere!!!...

He helped Boston and his companions clean out as much mold as possible before giving up and insisted that they get an upgrade...

The bad part is that the Church owns the moldy apartment and that mold complaints have been repeatedly dismissed/ignored by the previous mission presidency...but now hopefully, Boston can relax and enjoy his journey...

Worse, there's a severe shortage of "senior missionaries" all over British Columbia and Boston is having to pick up the slack...

Apparently, Boston's "P-day" was moved back to Mondays beginning yesterday, as he emailed Betsy and the FamBam a TikTok showing mold in EVERY crevice in EVERY room in his New Westminster apartment and him and his NEW companion wearing surgical masks and gloves trying to get rid of the mold...

Betsy tried emailing the mission presidency to force him to move the boys to a cleaner, safer apartment, but he refused...then he refused to answer her at all, leading her to threaten to fly there and bring Boston back home and cutting his mission short...

Apparently, she forgot about Brock's two months in hell in his cockroach-infested Fortaleza apartment before his gallbladder gave out...

Please, Betsy, DON'T interfere with Boston's happiness...

At the end of every episode, the announcer said...
