Team Ostler: Visit to the BYU campus

Visit to the BYU campus

Okay, I know it is taking me forever to post all of my pictures from our trip to Utah but I had like 400 pics to sort through so it's taking some time. While we were there we went to visit the BYU campus. Jim wanted to see one of his professors so while he was talking to him we went to the Bean museum and the art museum. We got to see the Walter Wick exhibit at the art museum. (He's the one who does the "I Spy" and "Can you see what I see" books.) And at the art museum I got to say "hands off" like a hundred times. But it was still fun.

After the museums, we met up with Jim and the kids wanted to see the fountain in front of the administration building. Well, Ben got a little too close and fell right in. This is him afterward. . . "Yep! I did that on purpose!" He didn't really say that, but that's kind of what it looks like in the picture. It was hilarious. He thought so too, once he got over the shock of falling in.

So after that we were just walking around campus and we say another fountain. This time, there were kids playing in it so ourboys just got right it. We figured it was no big deal since Ben was already wet. Afterward, we went to the creamery for ice cream. Then we decided that ice cream maybe wasn't such a good idea when Ben's lips were turning blue and his teeth were chattering. So we decided that maybe it was time to go home. He fell asleep in the car on the way back to Jim's parents. He was pretty worn out after such a big day!

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?"
