We represented!!




Don't worry all you Von Callister vacationers, I dutifully made an appearance to represent the Von part of Grandma Callisters family. she wanted me to say that she loves all of you and especially me for showing up to her party. i went to the temple session in the morning, then we drove to Delta for her party at The Greeting Place. Caleb was super excited because his 'hero' uncle Ray showed up and actually made time to talk to him and shake his hand and let me take a picture of Caleb with his hero.he has been wanting to meet him for a very long time since we had read his story. he walks on water in Calebs mind.. he was super friendly and loving to Caleb, it made Calebs day, in fact i can't remember a time when Caleb was speechless but he was with uncle Ray. Caleb did say that he thought he would be much younger, we thought that was funny. Brian and Trish were there which was fun to visit with, Tom and Donald. Deena was talking with Shaunna and found out that they homeschool with the Thomas Jefferson model just like we do, and becky does. they have been doing it for years and really love it. she is a great resource. it was a great time! i had to show uncle James how to use his camera so he wouldn't get in trouble for not taking pictures...( he has our exact camera!!) he was cracking me up all day!! wish you all could have been there but you can live it through me!

Josh, that is so awesome tht you went to all the celebration. That was one of the things we sooo did not want to miss. We wish that we could do it all. Adam's baptism and Italy....Grandma's 95th b-day. Thanks for representing us so well. I am glad that Caleb finally got to meet uncle Ray. That would have been a shame if that never happened. You are a good son Josh, thanks, we love you mom

I guess you play the role of the "local" son that makes mom and dad proud. Your kids will have memories of grandma- that is cool. Miss you all.

It would have been so fun to be there with you all!
I am jealous that Deena got to pick the brain of Shauna with the whole T.J. education thing. I would have loved to talk to her also.
Grandma is so sweet and cute--hope you hugged her good enough for us all!

Josh,

Your as good a representative as I can think of. Thanks for doing that. It looks like it was a lot of fun. We are hoping to be part of the party this summer.
