printer ink

Hey this is just to let you guys know that we have some HP inkjet print cartridges that we are trying to get rid of. We have two 56 (black) and one 57 (color). We had to get a new printer and need different kind. Daniel has the old printer and I don't know if he would like the ink or is just able to use it for scanning---- let me know anyone. I will look else where for some one to use it if you guys don't want it. Any takers?

Winter Wondeland

Here is a picture that I dug up. It is a fun one of Mom and Dad doing something they have started really enjoying to do.... lying around...just kidding I mean snow shoeing of course. This was a trip we took up Donut Falls... A completely different place in Winter. Good times. Enjoy!!

winter is here

Winter has come to the mountains----and to our home. Yes it is finally here, and it is really beautiful! If it would just stay off the roads I would be happier. Aunt Catherine was here this last week and it was so wonderful having her here to talk to and just be with. She loved to see the snow and we went for a walk in it. Then she left to go back to California and we had to stay here in the cold snow :(

Good times #2

when i came upon this picture i just had to chuckle. I am soo glad i caught this moment in time in the life of dan callister. Do you still have those nasty flip-flops? 

Bean and Bacon: the truth

Ok - so the other day tayson and i had a playdate. I decided to bring lunch so that our friends didn't feel inclined to provide. What i grabbed was a can of bean and bacon soup. I have  loved this soup ever since i can remember and have always considered it a hearty comfort food that everyone loves. The look on my friends face as presented her with the yummy lunch i brought to share made me think.- Is this soup a culture thing- a callister thing? She then said " well, i dont like it but maybe mcKay will" . He didn't. Come to think of it- the same thing happened  about a year ago with a different friend. Here is my question.. what is not to like about  this savory mix of beans, bacon, and an occasional carrot? Oh well. maybe i wont serve it to friends but bean and bacon soup will forever be a favorite nostalgic meal for me and mine. 

Callister "Good Times" photo series #1

I found some funny pictures in my scrapbook and thought you all might like to remember with me. feel free to add onto my photo series by posting your own favorite old pics ( this means you'll need to scan them in.... so mom and dad might not participate...or they just might surprise us all!) can't wait to see what people think of this timeless shot!

California Coastal getaway

Hello all Callisters...Aunt Catherine and Uncle Jim here. Thank you for letting us use your space to add our life-events. We have sooo enjoyed sharing in your escapades! We recently celebrated our anniversary with a trip to the coast (one of our favorite destinations...any part of the coast will do...just give us the ocean). In particular, we visited Stinson Beach to take advantage of both the ocean and Mt. Tamalpias (the highest Mt in the area...a mere foothill to you folks). So we decide on a 4 mile hike (the beach was closed to the public because of a recent oil-spill). We hiked thru it/up it/in it/over it...it was GREAT! A foggy day only added to the beauty...and the pictures don't do it justice...but you all know that actually being in the local adds it's own element of magic. Great trip...wanted to share. Come visit...anyone...anytime! Love from Wine (whine) Country...Uncle Jim and Aunt Catherine

Turkey Day

I was looking through some pictures and found some Ure ones that are at my house for some reason. I know this was one of Rachel's favorite performances ever. (NOT) A couple of cute turkeys!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Love mom

I just thought I would send a little hello from us here in Italy. Rebekah had a great birthday, we had a successful Halloween party, and all is going well for boys, David, Rebekah and baby #4. Rebekah got excited for Thanksgiving shortly after Halloween and decided that we needed something to remind us that such a Holiday does exist (obviously it isn't a popularly celebrated Italian holiday!). So she went through her fabric and made this happy turkey. We put a feather up every day after we say something we are Thankful for. Isn't he cute?!

We hope that all of you have a great Thanksgiving--we are doing a dinner for a few of our Italian friends (most Italians have only seen a full roasted Turkey on American Television--never for real!).

Cute Old Folks

Dad and I went to Venice (Utah) and Delta this last weekend and had a good visist, and a well over due one at that with Grandpa and then with Grandma C. we had a great time hiking around the foothills of Venice. We followed some deer paths and hoped we didn't see any trigger happy hunters. We went to church with Grandma and ate lunch with she and uncle Ned. They have to be the cutest old people ever!!! It was something we have decided to try and do at least once every month. They need it and so do we.
