Team Ostler: Trip to Arizona

Trip to Arizona

Last week I decided to go visit my sister and her family in Arizona. Jim was in the middle of finals and I just needed a break from this place. My mom flew to LA and drove with me. Thank you so much mom! You're the best! I don't think I would have made the 6 hour drive with 3 kids alone. We had such a fun time. My boys absolutely adore my sisters three girls! Oh and don't let me forget their dog Missy. They would not leave the poor dog alone. You know how some people say that they are baby hungry, well, my boys are "dog" hungry! They are always telling me that they want a dog. Luckily I can use the apartment excuse for a few more years. They'll just have to wait. The day after we got home Luke went to our front door and said, "Go see Missy!" He just doesn't quite get the concept of having to drive 6 hours to see Missy. Luckily I distracted him with something else and he soon forgot about it - until he saw the pics of Missy on the computer! We had a great time while we were there. We went swimming a lot. . .

We played with the dog. . .

And had a blast playing with our cousins!

Thanks Pam and family for a great time :)

Bonnie: I wish I could have been there too. I am excited for California in August to see everyone and all be together. I loved the way you did the pics on this post. How did you do that?; June 18, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Jim and Megan: I did it through picasa. I just made a collage then uploaded it directly to my blog. It's pretty easy. I can help walk you through it if you want. Picasa is the best!; June 18, 2009 at 4:11 PM

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?"
