Team Ostler: Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy Birthday Ben!

Today is Ben's birthday. He is turning 3 years old and I can't believe what a big boy he is. My baby is growing up!! Jim got off work early today so we had a little party with just us and then we are going to go camping with the Jackson's tonight. Ben is so excited to sleep in a tent. I had so much fun decorating his cake. I made him a monster truck cake because monster trucks are his favorite thing in the whole world. He was so excited. He and Jimmy had fun jumping the monster truck over the cars. The video shows Ben opening his presents. The first present is a box with some packing peanuts and his favorite monster truck, Brutus, in it. I had to order it on ebay because Brutus isn't a very popular monster truck. He is just Ben's favorite because he was here in Cleveland when Jim took the boys to the monster truck rally. If you look closely at the video you will notice that the first thing he does when he opens the box is take a big old bite of the packing peanuts. I think he thought it was popcorn. He said afterwards that it was "yucky popcorn."

I am so excited you guys will be closer to Utah pretty soon, so I can hopefully see the boys soon. They are so funny and getting so big.; July 18, 2008 at 5:53 PM

Funny Things Kids Say

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?"
