I have really missed the cold winter weather this year. I know I should not complain and I am very thankful that the two snow storms we have had have come on the weekends so Stephen doesn't have to worry about driving to work. I do love getting bundled up and playing in the rain and snow. Greyson and I spend as much time as we can outside and even after hours of playing he would prefer to stay outside and play some more.
The snow also makes taking the wood to the house very easy! Gus is a great sled puller!

Greyson Loves Puddles!

It's cold, the wind is blowing, rain is falling, a storm is coming and where will you find Greyson Foreman . . . outside and loving it! I thought about adding the part of the video when I made him come inside, but thought I would try and keep this post positive. We spent an hour moving from one puddle to the next and back again and finally came inside because it was almost dark.

He Wants to be just like his Daddy . . . .

I think my husband is the best in the world. Of course I would think that . . . he's my husband, but I don't think I actually knew just how thankful I was for everything about Stephen until I started to watch Greyson act like him. What a blessing to have a son that wants to go head first down a huge tornado slide or purposefully picks the brush and trees to maneuver through instead of the clear trail. How much fun is it to watch him jump from the coffee table to the couch and when he falls off starts to laugh at himself (it's pretty great). He smiles almost all the time and he loves to sleep in and cuddle up on the couch after a long day, right in between his two favorite people. I love that on Saturday mornings when I tell Greyson that daddy is downstairs he can't get out of his crib fast enough and climb down those stairs to get to him and then sits on the office floor as Stephen studies and works on his "projects" too.
Stephen has gotten back into lifting and drinking shakes again, in hopes to gain a little more weight and of course it makes us all feel better to be active. Anyway, he's been showing off his muscles lately, which of course Greyson has started to do too. The other day while playing in the sand Greyson did a pretty good impression of Stephen.

It's amazing to see how much Greyson is growing up each day. He is excited about the entire world around him and is constantly asking "What's That!" At least at this point I don't tire of telling him again and again, that's the moon, that's a rock, that's a piece of wood, that's a tractor and well you get the idea. The other day we had a semi truck deliver something to our neighbor. Greyson headed out to the middle of the yard and laid down on his tummy watching all the action. He also loves a little John Deere Truck we found at Goodwill. He'd be happy to sit on it all day I think. He also lives in his XtraTuff boots (he must have been born in Kodiak). When he wakes up he goes directly to the closet and puts them on and would wear them to bed if I'd let him.




So I HATE snakes more than anything! I cannot handle them at all. That was one of the things I loved about Kodiak, no snakes. Well of course you had to understand my extreme fear and anger when I looked out my window on January 31st and saw a huge snake. I don't care that the snake is harmless, that it eats mice or moles . . . I want it dead. I know this sounds terrible, but oh I'm so scared of snakes. Anyway, I'm very excited for the snow storm and no more snakes! The picture is to convince my husband, because he never believes my snake stories (see it's true!)

Is it Seriously January?

I don't think I have ever experienced this warm of a January. I cannot remember it snowing and almost everyday was nice enough to be outside enjoying the warm weather. On January 30th it was 66 degrees out, so of course we spent the day in the sun.
Greyson has also been enjoying his new slide from the African Foremans. Thanks!

Good Bye Christmas

After a long week of traveling and people we made one last stop in Lincoln for the big Wellensiek Clan's Christmas. It was at the Settle Inn. All the kids had fun swimming and eating plenty of food. We got home late on Friday evening, but was thankful to wake up at home. We are all know enjoying the wonderful Christmas gifts and memories made.

On Christmas day we headed to Fremont for the Foreman Christmas. Of course more great food, gifts and quality time with family. Monday morning we loaded up and headed to Iowa to visit the Palsma side of the family. We spent the night at Stephen's grandmas and Greyson got to know his second cousin Sydney a little bit better.
