Another picture essay: The Jackson's are here.

Harvey, all buckled in for the airplane ride

All the grandkids love picking grandma's garden.  
Harvey thought the zucchini looked good enough to eat.

The day after the Jackson's arrival, we headed up to Flaming Gorge.  Dan and Jieun came up, too.

Back at the House




Trying the new Banbury Cross Donuts




We got new helmets for safer riding.  I forgot I had mine on
and was just walking around the kitchen cleaning up.  Elise had to
have a picture, so Roy put his on and joined me.

Haircuts for the Jacksons







ATV Experience

For Roy's birthday everyone went in on an "experience" for Roy.  
They rented ATV's for the morning up in Midway, UT.  I think they had a ball, 
but they were also exhausted.  Matt and Jordan couldn't make it.

Andy, Nick, Dan, Roy and Dallin


They even went through water




Dan's taking BBQ very seriously lately; Ori, Bevy and Max at Nick's home

Sara was smart and incorporated Avie's birthday party with the skating party.  She brought cupcakes.  Avie is now 4.  Happy Birthday Avie!  She got home from Portugal just in time to celebrate with us.

Baptism of Maverick Roy Rasband (February 24, 2024)

Image
Utah happenings Before we left for Georgia we had a big snowstorm.  The Vances were hit hard in Logan.  Todd was extremely happy with the car that Matt built in the snow for him.  Now that we're back from Georgia we're getting hit again with snowstorms.  They're beautiful and we need the water, but I think we're about ready for spring. It was Tom's birthday on the 21st.  Adrienne made the effort to take her family to the grave on his birthday to send balloons off to Tom.  Roy and I went on Friday night (March 1),  right before a big wind and snowstorm so it was pretty cold.  We didn't stay long.  Gunnar wants to go back when it's warmer and do a clean-up job on the grave stone. He's sweet to think of serving that way. Jennie, Caitlyn, Me and Roy at the play "Clue" at Hale Center Theater.   Trip to Georgia for Mav's baptism On Saturday morning, Beverly had a her ballet class.  We tried to get there 10 minutes early to see her dance, but beca

Scriptural Thought

Image
As soon as possible after getting home from Georgia, I again went to Logan to help Crista with the baby.  Little Zack is so precious; I love the time I have been able to hold him and feed him.   The next day I had my hair cut by Jennie, and then Thursday, Jennie and I drove to Logan again.  I walked in the door and got my stuff situated.  Bridget was sitting at the counter doing her computer pre-school.  She looked at me and asked, "Grandma, is that a wig?"   Foster was very interested in the baby.   While studying Come Follow Me this past couple of weeks, I came across one of my favorite scriptures.  I've quoted it before in this blog.  It's 2 Peter 1:15-21 15  Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to  have these things always in remembrance. 16  For we have not followed cunningly devised  a fables , when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were  b eyewitnesses  of his majesty. 17  For he received from Go

Ruby's baptism, Foster's baby blessing, and the Jackson's are in town

Image
 I noticed a text Saturday morning on my phone.  Marcia Marshall (my cousin Richard Winterton's daughter) said, "I'm the only one on the call...I thought this was supposed to be the important meeting with voting and everything."  I realized I blew it.  I've been the secretary of the Cook Family Organization for many years and I think this is the first meeting I totally forgot about.  The reason Marcia was the only one on the call was because I even forgot to send out reminder emails.  Still, everyone knows there's a meeting the 2nd Saturday of every month, so they shouldn't be so dependent on me, right?  I felt badly, but I felt I had some good excuses.  Elise, Andy and their four children have been visiting since Tuesday.  Yesterday (the day of the above blunder), Ruby was baptized in Logan, and today Jennie and Jordan are blessing Foster.   Ruby, Crista and Matt.  Ruby was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on June 10, 2
