Christmas Message, Hyeji's choir concert, and Foster's 1st birthday

 Christmas Message    

I found this video on Youtube when I was looking for a devotional for my final institute class of the semester.  I felt the spirit so strongly as I watched the different scenes from the life of the Savior.  Watching each of the people that played a part in the greatest event to ever happen on this earth filled my heart with a special feeling for each one of them.  As you watch the video, think about what each of the people in this story means to you.  

O Come, Emmanuel

Roy took Hyeji to her choir concert.  I was finishing up my institute class, Dan was at a work party, and Jieun was home under the weather.  Grandpa enjoys watching his grandkids perform.


Hyeji is growing up to be such a beautiful young woman

Foster's first birthday


Jennie had a birthday party to celebrate Foster's first birthday.  Her cousin on Jordan's side is also turning one, so they had a double birthday party out on 13300 South.  Roy and Caitlyn went together.  I stayed home because I have been fighting the "roller coaster cold" for the past month or so.  It's a roller coaster cold because, as soon as I'm sure I'm better, I find myself at the bottom again.  (Lucky for Roy I was feeling well enough to give my lesson in Gospel Doctrine today, so he didn't have to do it.  I didn't feel well enough to sing with the choir, though).

At church on Sunday.  Roy and I gave Foster the Minnie Mouse outfit before she
was born.  It's a 6-9 month.  I think Jennie forgot about it. 
 It's a good thing she's really tiny for her age.

Baptism of Maverick Roy Rasband (February 24, 2024)

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.

Scriptural Thought

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
