Team Ostler: Ben's 4th Birthday

Ben's 4th Birthday

I'm about a month late but we celebrated Ben's birthday while we were in Utah. We had a little barbecue in Craig and Sandy's back yard with a Transformer theme. Ben was so excited for his transformer cake and for his presents. It really doesn't take much to please my boys - thank goodness. He was so excited when he received a package of glow sticks and when we told him that they were all his and he was in charge of them he thought he was king of the world! It was fun to watch his eyes light up as he saw the cake and opened his presents!

It was quite entertaining to watch my dad and Jim try to figure out the transformers that Ben got for his birthday. I was teasing Jim because it took him a while to figure it out. He does have 2 masters degrees (one in engineering) and is currently working on his PhD. Just kidding Jim, I love ya ;) My dad was happy when he figured it out and Ben was obviously happy to play with them.

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?"
