Grandma

 Grandma welcomed the kids into her home with individual packages sitting on their beds, filled with goodies just like the packages we receive from her in the mail.  Of course they were thrilled,  Jaxton and Cooper remember Grandma and Grandpa well, but Kaylee had to take a few moments to reunite with them.  I think she remembered, but was a bit unsure and a little confused.  Grandma spent lots of her time holding kids and reading books.  Cooper spent an entire afternoon on Grandmas lap while she told him stories about her as a kid and about me as a child.  The kids played outside in the slip and slide and in the sprinklers and Ina fun blow up pool.  One day Grandma took Jaxton to an Eagle Scout service project.  They washed, dried, and sorted thousands and thousands of Legos to be donated to schools in the area.  That was really fun for Jax since he loves Legos.  He got just a few minutes at the end to build something, but most of the time was all work.  It sounds like they had a good time.

Grandma tells the kids that the Utah mountains are "Grandma's Mountains."when we were on the airplane to go home, Cooper's airplane window was closed.  About halfway through the flight he opened it, and then shut it really fast and got upset.  I asked him what was wrong.  He said that his "clue" to Utah was the mountains and now the mountains were gone.  And that meant Utah was gone.    We all will miss Utah and all our family very very much!
