Team Ostler: Happy Birthday Jim!

Happy Birthday Jim!

We have now entered birthday season in our household. Everyone in our family has a summer birthday starting with Jim. He had his 30th birthday yesterday. He may not be too happy about me posting this because I think that turning 30 has been a little bit traumatic for him. But at least he can always say that he is younger than me. Yes, I am willing to admit that if it makes him feel better. Even if Jim wasn't too excited about his birthday, the kids were. Any excuse to have cake and ice cream will make them happy. We didn't get to have much of a party becuase as soon as Jim got home from work we had to eat and then we had to go to the church to help out with the youth activity. The young women's presidency asked us to speak to the young women about temple marriage. It was fun. Hopefully the young women enjoyed it too.

The kids and I made a special card for Jim listing 30 things that we love about him. It is pretty of hard to see but you get the idea. Jim, you're the best ! We love you and hope you had a good birthday!

Amber: Jim,
I tried calling yesterday, but couldn't get through! I guess you were at the activity! Happy Birthday anyway! I can't believe your 30. . don't forget I'm only 16 months behind you! At least you have something to show for being 30! (like 3 kids...I'll be lucky if I ever get 3 kids total)

Happy Birthday!
Love

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
