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.

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 da...

Summer/Lake Powell

Image
We celebrated Father's Day in Lake Powell this week.  I am so grateful that I had a wonderful father who taught me the gospel of Jesus Christ and shared with me his love for the scriptures and history and was able to interconnect history, science, and the gospel.  He showed the connection between history and the scriptures in his book, "The Time of Jacob's Trouble." (Finished and published when my dad was 92 years old). If you haven't yet read it, you should.  It's excellent!  I am so amazed at all my dad accomplished in his life.  His ability to love and to forgive was a great example for his children.   I'm also so blessed to have an amazing husband who has been a great father to our children.  He's also given them an example to follow of love and service, and so many other things.   We went to Lake Powell with Adrienne and AJ for 8 days, so I didn't write a letter last week.  I am going to highlight a few things from last week: T...

Picture Essay of our San Rafael Swell Trip

Image
Hyeji, Doyeon, Roy and I arrived in Green River, UT. in time to eat dinner at the Chow Hound.  The picture on the right is outside the restaurant--while we were all still clean.  After we got back to the hotel, I prepared for my Institute class.  Zoom is great because I can teach anywhere; as long as I have internet.  Roy and the girls were going to take a walk, but they were all tired so they just quietly read or did projects while I taught.       The rest of the pictures may or may not be in order, since they are from three different cameras, but you'll get the idea.  Roy deemed the rock formation on the left, "Catharine's Castle."  It would have been a good point of reference on our return, except that there were a lot of similar formations. The girls found a lot of fun places to pose for pictures.   It was just a little on the chilly side, but beautiful.  Doyeon and Hyeji mostly sat in the back, except on the 2nd day w...
