Team Ostler: 4th of July in Utah

4th of July in Utah

We just returned to LA from a 2 1/2 week vacation in Utah. After living in this area it was such a breath of fresh air to be by the mountains and with family. Not to mention the freedom of driving around without having to look at a single offensive billboard. On the drive back, once we hit Vegas we knew we were coming back to the city. Jim took his last qualifying exam on July 2nd and we took off the next day in time to get there for the 4th of July. We had a fun time watching the fireworks. Unfortunately Ben didn't go with us because he was terrified of the loud booms that they made. So he stayed home with Grandpa that night. But the rest of us enjoyed the fireworks.

Luke did a couple of sparklers but after almost putting out his own eye as well as everyone else and coming really close to burning the blanket we decided it was time to be done. But just look at that cute face! Isn't he adorable! Even with slobbery, gooey, blue taffy all over his chin :)

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?"
