Team Ostler: Fun with Amber

Fun with Amber

Back in the spring Amber came to visit us. That's always a highlight for us. For some reason I don't have a lot of pictures with Amber but we had a lot of fun sight seeing with her. We went swimming and to the science center. Which is always fun - and it free!! Bonus! We watched an IMAX movie, Born to be Wild, which was cute. I think it was more fun watching Luke reach out and try to touch the animals than it was watching the actual movie. There's also a rose garden outside of the science center which is beautiful! And the boys had fun trying to lift the truck with the pulley.

We went on a great hike up Solstice canyon in Malibu. Ben was so excited that he caught a lizard. Amber and I were running the other way because it was kind of creepy to watch it squirm in his hand. Eventually, after convincing him that the lizard would be happier in the wilderness and not in our house, he set him free. Whew! Amber always comes through with her creative problem solving too. When Luke fell down and skinned his knee she gave him some "magic water" since we didn't have band aids on us. It worked like a charm and I have used "magic water" numerous times since then. It's saved me a fortune on band aids! ;)

Amber: This makes me want to come visit again! :) This whole back to work thing and not even coming once during the summer to see you is ridiculous!

I also need to update my blog!; September 5, 2012 at 7:14 PM

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?"
