Team Ostler: El Matador State Beach

El Matador State Beach

Okay, it's time to play catch up with my blog! It's been way too long. Back in April we were fortunate enough to have Jim's mom, his sister and her two little boys, Ethan and Camden visit us. We had so much fun. It's amazing what happens when you put 5 little boys together in a small apartment. The decibel level goes up significantly. The neighbors must have hated us that week!

When we have family in town we always go to the beach. There are a lot of great beaches around here but we have found a really nice little beach in Malibu. It is out of the way and secluded and it has great caves, tunnels, and tide pools. It was particularly busy that day because they were doing a photo shoot. We run into that a lot. Gotta love L.A.!

We actually found a baby octopus that day! The kids had fun observing it! The poor little thing looked terrified, but once the tide came in it was able to make it's way back to the ocean. I hope it survived!

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?"
