This is what it do when bored....

Andrew let me play with his hair while i was bored today! he was a good sport...

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!

I do so like green eggs and ham...

thank you, thank you Sammy I am!! Deena put together a St Patrick's Day lunch for us, complete with green eggs and ham, green milk, green jellow, cucumbers (with green ranch), and kiwis. nobody in my family got pinched, everybody remembered to wear green right from the get go this morning. I still get a little freaked out mentally when bringing green eggs to my mouth, but they taste the exact same, i seeing the weirdness in Andrews eyes as he poked at his food wondering whatever a 4 year old wonders about green food, it was pretty entertaining. happy st pattys day

Noah... Bill Cosby

ok, so I came across this audio clipping, and it brought back memories, so i thought i would post it for others to enjoy. i remember listening to this as a kid and others by him, and just rolling, it was sooo funny. I also enjoyed Buck Buck, the Go Carts, and The Chicken Heart. i love all the funny sound effects he can produce. his crashing noises, doors slamming, slipping on the floor, or breaking an arm...he is great.

this blog speaks for itself

enjoy this entry, she is such a mild mannered girl!

duck, duck, duck......GOOSE!

Dad took us (me, Caleb, Sammy, Andrew, Deborah, and Grandma) to the goose festival in Delta. youve never seen so many birds in your life! they make a little bit of noise!! Some local kid had a bunch of snakes, scorpions, lizards (serious lizards like hela monsters) and he let my kids and Deborah (i think he liked Deborah) hold an albino corn snake. Sammy wouldn't let go of the binoculars and loved staring at the birds, though i later realised she just liked having the binoculars around her neck like some status symbol or jewelry. it was a good time and Grandma seemed to enjoy the company. i had to show her how to use her new tv converter. i hope she remembers. she seemed a little anxious about it. we were also able to visit grandpas grave, which was pretty cool for me. i haven't seen it for a very long time

Abigail

alright, i am finally able to get this posted! sorry it took so long. Abigail was born Monday morning at 5:00 am. born to classic rock n roll which was playing in the background in the O.R. She was born to CCR, Steve Miller Band, and Def Leppard. she will probably love classic rock for the rest of her life! she has been a very 'mild' baby so far, the only time she has cried so far was the minute they pulled her out and cleared her mouth...thats it!! Andrew is very excited to be a 'big brother' instead of only the little brother... Deena is doing well and is hoping to be home friday night
