Team Ostler: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Well, we had a nice quiet Thanksgiving at home. Amber came to visit us for a whole week. The boys love it when she comes. I hope she had fun too. I'm sure she was pretty worn out by the time she left. For dinner we had a couple of Jim's friends from school over. It was nice for all of them to have a break from the daily grind of school. It's pretty intense for them right now since finals are coming up in a week. This is a picture of the boys making the turkey place cards. It's always fun when there's paint involved.

Jim wanted to take a picture of the turkey. I put him in charge of cooking the turkey this year. He loves to cook meat of any kind (although, I think he would have preferred to cook prime rib or steak, but I convinced him that you have to have turkey on Thanksgiving). He did a good job.

Jimmy loves Thanksgiving dinner, especially the pumpkin pie. That's his favorite. I don't know if you can see in this picture but he put about 5 scoops of cinnamon sugar on his sweet potato when nobody was looking. Needless to say, he didn't eat any of it.

Whitni: Ah...it looks like it was a great Thanksgiving for all of you!

Remind me: Is Amber the sister that Jim used to blame (convincing his parents by adding the false testimony of another younger sister) for many (if not all) of his misdeeds as a child? Hmmm....

If so, she's a great sister with a forgiving heart!; December 2, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Cameron, Shannon Voge: Looks like you had a good thanksgiving! We sure miss you guys! We missed you while Sarah and her kids were here too... it wasn't the same :( The turkey turned out great... kuddos to Jim, and good luck on finals! Hope you guys are doing good.; December 2, 2008 at 8:16 PM
Amber: Yes, i am the sister he blamed for EVERYTHING! :) I am very forgiving, and hopefully cuter than that picture of me. . . I did have a great time with all of the boys. Megan was such a great host and we had lots of fun. It was the best Thanksgiving I have had in a long time, and nobody even asked me when I was going to get married or why I wasn't dating anyone!; December 2, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Kristin: Hey Super cute pictures. Jimmy is such a goof ball I miss you guys. But we are excited to see you Very soon!!!; December 3, 2008 at 1:55 AM

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?"
