Seth's 1st Birthday!

Brady had to work, and Magen works nights, so Eric & I offered to take Seth for the day! He loves animals, so we decided if the weather cooperated, we would go to the zoo.

Our day started at 6:30 A.M. Brady brought Seth over before he picked up Magen from work.
So, at 7:30 A.M. it was already nap time.
When Seth woke up, we picked up Great Grandma Judie and went to Kneaders for brunch! (Free French Toast for moms!) Less than $8 for all of us to eat, including drinks! Boy did Seth like the French Toast!

Then it was off to the zoo! The animals were not very energetic, but he liked the geese and girraffs a great deal.

He got to ride the merri-go-round with grandpa.

Then it was back to grandmas to meet his parents for dinner and cake!

I bought a huge cupcake for him! I stripped him down to his diaper, sang HaPpY BiRtHdAy, and he was off! He looked at us like are you seriously giving this to me? Then he attacked, with both fists! He giggled through the whole thing, ate as much icing as his little body would allow, then had a bath and turned the tub green!

After the bath, we opened presents!

His Jazz shirt and animal book were his favorites, I'm sure of it!

Boy time flies!

I can't believe it has been 9 months since I have updated this blog! We have had vacations, holidays, celebrations and sorrow, and none of I have shared with you. Well facebook is taking a backseat to my blog! I am re-commited!

Here is Seth, just weeks before he turns 1! Notice his 2 little teeth.

Following are some videos that I have from my recent Hawaiian vacation!

Magen was due on May 12th. Her doctor thought it would be best if they went ahead and induced her. On May 8th at 7:00 am, she arrived at St. marks hospital. At 11:58 pm,

Seth Eric Callister was finally born! He weighed in at 6 lbs. 13 oz. He is 18 and 1/2 inches long! He is adored by his grandparents. Even is Grandpa Eric thinks he is adorable and excited to teach him how to wake board! Mom said maybe, in a few years!

ThAnkS wEsTvALe

After 8 years, I hung up my name tag and moved on to Copper Hills High School!

I was very sad to leave all my little friends, and my Westvale family. I have met some of the most wonderful teachers, parents, grandparents, students,volunteers, peers and co-workers! I will miss you all! But it was best for my family at home.

And in the long run, that is what it's all about!

Thank you for the great going away party and for all the best wishes! The gifts were wonderful, and cake is always good! No matter what the

occasion! XOXO

I KNOW, I KNOW!

Yes, I have been neglecting my blog! But after 8 days in Hawaii, what else is there!

Well, I found some great things to write about!

Cameron & Tyler

Cameron is going to UVU, formally UVSC. He is studying to be a wilderness fireman. He lives at home and drives his "POS", BMW to Orem for his classes. It breaks down so ofter, he carries a spare battery so he can make it home! Why is it boys would rather drive a crappy BMW than a nice, newer, let's say 4 door Toyota? If anyone can explain this to me, please post it as a comment! However, we are still very proud of him! He is working his butt off, literally!

Tyler completed his treatment at Artec South. On February 3rd, the judge terminated JJS' custody and placed Tyler back with us! We are so excited to have him home. He was in Juvenile Justice Services custody for 9 months. It was difficult for us to have him gone. We celebrated by going to the Jazz vs. Celtics game. He cheered for Boston, I however cheered for the Jazz. In case anyone missed it, the Jazz WON by 5!

My daughter is 19!

Wow time flies! I can't believe Courtney is 19. I remember driving to the hospital in the early a.m. hours, through the snow covered streets of Las Vegas, where our only baby girl was born.

It has been such a wonderful experience being the mother of this lovely young lady.(I use this word loosely because she burps louder than any of her brothers!) She is in her 2nd semester of college and working at Forever 21! She is learning to be financially responsible. Instead of asking her parents for money, Courtney and her boyfriend donated plasma! Her arms were so bruised, they took 2 weeks to heal!
