Welcome to Julia Virginia Cook
Born May 20th to
Tiana and Nathan Cook!
NEWSFLASH: Joanne actually alerted me about this fire!
POCATELLO -- Fire officials say 66 homes and 29
outbuildings in southwest Pocatello have burned and more are threatened in a
fast-moving wildfire.
More than 1,000 people have been evacuated from some Pocatello neighborhoods and the community of Mink Creek. The Charlotte fire started Thursday afternoon, spreading quickly through bone-dry grass and brush.
The fire is burning on just over 1,000 acres -- that's a little more than 1 1/2 square miles -- and is estimated to be about 30 percent contained. So far, no injuries have been reported.
Officials have not yet released details about what may have sparked the flames but say it is believed to be human-caused.

Jay
and Lorinda
Recently, a
former exchange student - Jaycia - came for a one week visit and we currently
have a nice young man from Germany staying with us. The family is well and
we're looking forward to the coming months. In those months we will be:
expecting a mission call for David and all the exciting things that entails, attending High School Graduation for Jacob, Lorinda Loo turns 50!, and our family will be going to Nauvoo.

Lyndon
and Debbie
We don't have
much to share. I am gearing up for girl's camp the fourth week of June
and Lyndon will be up at camp with us all week too! Which
is nice.
Dallen just finished another year at the U. He is working at a job he loves as a group leader over kids elementary age and he loves it. He will be doing that this summer
also. He has one more year at the U. and then wants to apply with a program to go to Japan. He is doing well. As are we.
Erin's daughter, Delphia graduated from her
pre-school and will start kindergarten this fall.
Ashley's daughter, Ruby
is graduating from kindergarten this week and will start 1st grade in the
fall. These kids sure grow up fast, which means we are getting older
of course. Jed, Ashley's hubby, is in school also and has another 3 years to go, but he is enjoying it and hopefully there will be good jobs out there for him when he is done.
Todd's wife Megan is still in nursing school and has two
semesters left and then she will be done. I have been watching the kids
for them once a week. It has been fun and I enjoy having them.
We are looking forward to a nice summer and
hopefully some fun adventures along the way. As a family, we hiked
Timpanogos on Memorial Day. We went through the cave and had a fun day
together. Lyndon made homemade ice cream and it was
delicious! We have fun times together as a family. Well, not much
more to tell. Life is good and we are immensely blessed.
Ken and Karleen
We’re busy—doing what
I’m not so sure! We get motivated to
work in the yard and garden—and then it rains! When we were at Mom’s/Danna’s
last fall, Danna and Rachelle were making pillowcases for the Primary Children’s
Hospital. So I got the bright idea to make each Primary child a pillowcase with
his/her name and the CTR shield on that opening end for birthdays—they’re cute,
but obviously I didn’t “count the cost” in time before making the commitment—it
takes about two hours for each one! Ken
is doing well—he and Aaron hit all the garage sales every Saturday—nice time to
get laundry and general cleaning done! Logging has slowed for the summer (but
we just filled our heating oil tank—300 gallons for $1256!--so I'm anxiously awaiting the fall logging to begin!
Amber is in Provo and working for a
home security hotline—she went to a Karate Bootcamp in California a couple of weeks ago and had a great time.
Aaron has finished the welding
course here—and is working a temp job with the Coast Guard here.
Courtney is taking two classes now
to lessen the load in the fall—when she’ll return to finish that degree. Her Dad
told her we’d be happy to take care of Jesse, just pack his bags, and we’ll fly
down and pick him up! Can’t imagine why she’s not interested! James is doing
some moonlighting with a computer-based accounting business—good way to get
some real-hands on experience.
Randy and Joanne
We are all
doing well.
Randy is still traveling all the time and enjoys his work. Joanne has been called to be the ward camp director and will be getting busier as the time draws closer. She has been gardening and working on quilting and family history when she finds the time.
Nathan, Tiana and James welcomed new family member, Julia Virginia,on May 20. Randy and Joanne traveled to meet her the first week-end in June.
Laura has received her certification and is officially a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Matt is finishing up his last class and will be graduating from BYU in August. He has taken the MCATs--they'll start med school in 2013! They are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby boy mid-July.
Seth is building a deck on his lake house and remodeling the basement. Carrie has purchased a laser cutter and is trying her hand at entrepreneurship. She is making laser cut jewelry, cupcake wrappers and toppers.
Adam is participating in Special Olympics again this year where he is perfecting the freestyle stroke.
We are planning to have a Randy Cook Family Reunion this July in Utah--Julia will be blessed at that time.

Craig
and Jaylyne
No news is good news?! School is out and we are trying to get the yard in shape and are contemplating doing some painting. Not too exciting. After our family reunion in Rocky Mountain National Park, we may have more to say. Hugo presented his research proposal for his doctorate and the committee accepted it!
Hmmm. This week has been more of the
same: weeding (I have three
rows of potatoes and the very back of the garden left to do and then I can
start over), sewing (I remade a white linen jacket I bought from DI), cleaning
(I scrubbed the top of the kitchen cabinets: a very greasy, nasty job, even with
the fan over the stove!). I
am progressing on lesson plans and have done some reading.
So what was out of the ordinary? Monday, Craig and I went to
Grandma Reynolds and scraped paint so the Paint Fest people could paint her
house. Actually, there were
about six Paint Fest people there scraping with us. Noreen and Darrell came, too. On Thursday, I did go to lunch with
some of the staff from Ellis. They
meet once a month during the summer. I
usually make it to just one of the three. I also went grocery shopping. It has been a while since I did
that. And, on Thursday,
after returning home from the Ellis staff lunch/Walmart trip, I discovered the
post card in our mailbox notifying me that my contract was ready to sign at the
District Offices, so I drove over and signed it. Even though I had already signed a
letter of intent, I always feel more secure once the contract is signed.
Today I spoke in the 3rd ward Sacrament Meeting with Chuck
Mennear from the Stake High Council. I
had revised my talk at least three times! As I kept pondering Elder Packer’s
talk, new thoughts came to mind which seemed more important than others I had
included earlier, so I would have to go back and cut things out. In the end, I really emphasized his
statement that the ultimate goal of the Church is to have husbands, wives and
their children HAPPY AT HOME, PROTECTED BY THE PRINCIPLES AND ORDINANCES OF THE
GOSPEL, AND SEALED BY ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD COVENANTS. I have really pondered the idea of
being protected by the principles of the gospel. As we strive to live those principles,
we truly are protected from the evils of the world, from the negativity, the
greed, the selfishness prevalent in our society today!
Elizabeth got
the Student of the Year Award at James Monroe Middle School. Catherine
ran 120+ miles this past school year in Sierra Vista's runner's club. Katelyn
was on the Star Team last year at school. Rebecca got an award for
Fabulous Singing. Emma knows how to skip and is thrilled to be starting
kindergarten next year. Edie likes to show us her half skip or any other
skill that she is excited to learn. August is sitting up fairly well and
is learning to roll over. He is a smiley baby. I have elected to give up
exercise in favor of nap time. Travis is getting ready for a high
adventure trip with the scouts.
Les and Janey
Keith Cook was married on May 20 in Las Vegas,
Nevada. We now have two more grandchildren, Kaden and Ethan. He
married Amber Kratkze.
Allen Cook graduated from Weber State with a degree
in computer security and has a new job at Utah State University in Logan, Utah.
Phillip Cook graduated from University of Utah with a
degree in electrical engineering and is working for Rocky Mountain Power in Salt
Lake City.
Mark Cook is enjoying his job as a Security job at
NRF, the Naval Reactor Facility, at the INEEL.
Robert and Tiffany are excited about the arrival of
Lincoln Cook who will be born in August.
With the 1940 census underway I found Junior A Cook
in Minnidoka County, outside the city limits of Rupert. Allen Bradford
was working as a Janitor. Also while digging through Grandma's file
cabinet in Tremonton I found a copy of Junior Allen Cook's birth certificate,
one of them appeared to be an original. They were from Nevada and his
name on the cetificate was Allen Cook Junior. I understand that his Idaho birth
certificate says Junior Allen Cook. The 1930 census has him listed as
Emerson Cook. Who is this Guy. Ha,ha. (The thought is that he said to the
census taker: “I’m her son”—translated Emerson).
