Team Ostler: Happy Birthday Luke

Happy Birthday Luke

I can't believe my baby is 4 years old!! He is just growing up way too fast for me. Because of his older brothers, he has a serious obsession with Star Wars. It's kind of sad that he skipped the cars, trains, and planes stage and went straight to the violent stuff. :( But I guess that's what happens when you have older brothers.

I tried to talk him into letting me make him a Diego cake or a jungle animal cake of something suitable for a 4 year old, but he insisted on Star Wars. So I made this Death Star cake. It took me 10 hours, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (well not really any tears), and a few cuss words (mostly just in my head though). It was very challenging but also very fun to make. Luke was happy with it and that's what counts. The sun was a little bright. That's why no one seems to be looking at the camera.

Luke is an amazing little boy. His beautiful blond hair and blue eyes elicit comments from so many people when we are out in public. (Especially from cute little elderly Hispanic ladies.) He is a little shy but becomes friends with almost everyone he meets. He loves to wrestle and play with his brothers and can actually take them down pretty good. He learned every character and ship in Star Wars before he ever learned his colors, alphabet, and numbers. (Don't think I'm a bad mom for that one. He got most of that from legos, his brothers, and books - not the movies.) His favorite food is ramen noodles and if I can get him to eat a vegetable I am lucky - it doesn't happen very often. He loves his brothers and always sticks up for them. Last but not least, he gives the best hugs ever - the kind where he wraps his little arms around my neck and holds on like he doesn't ever want to let go. It melts my heart!!

We Love you Luke!
Happy Birthday!

Amber: Super-mom!

I'm biased, but I'd rather hang out with a 4yr old who knows every star wars everything then one who knows his boring letters, numbers, shapes and colors. (And I'm a teacher).

Love him. . . . and miss you guys.; August 25, 2011 at 6:21 PM

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?"
