New Trike & Snow

This is what happens when Landry takes the camera. 



Christmas Decorating & Bazaar

I love decorating for Christmas.  This was the first year Greyson really got into it as well.  Throughout the entire Christmas season he had fun pretending to be Santa Clause and giving presents to people.  

We have a fun group of kids at the Mission.  They spend a lot of time together and Greyson loves to all so much.  It's extremely nice to have a gym and good indoor space for them to play in too.


This was my second year running the KBM Bazaar.  It continues to be a lot of work, but really a lot of fun too.  We raised twice as much money this year for the Mission and had a lot of great vendors join us. 





Random Videos and Pictures


Hammering the ice behind our house.  


Taking Landry for a ride. 


Greyson "playing" trumpet with Stephen 

 I feel incredibly blessed to look out at this view in the morning.  Winters may be my favorite time of year.  I enjoy the short days and the icky weather that is outside.  Mostly because when the wind, rain and snow clears we have views like this.


I love that the boys are starting to play a little bit together.  Greyson gets frustrated by Landry most of the time, but it was so cute to watch them this day.  

Landry is our climber.  He can figure out a way to get just about anywhere.  He wanted something that was in the sink.  So he got a chair, brought it over and proceeded to get what he wanted.  

Thanksgiving & Stephen's Birthday


We love Thanksgiving in the Foreman home.  It's a nice little break before all the craziness of Christmas begins.  However this year I got a weird skin thing.  I went to the doctor who put me on an antibiotic that I happened to be allergic to causing a terrible rash.  Needless to say I missed most of the Thanksgiving festivities.  

The boys and I did manage to make so boats.  After going to the doctor again and getting some other medicine I was feeling much better by Sunday.  






Stephen also celebrated his birthday on Thanksgiving.  He asked that I make his German Chocolate cake the day before so he didn't have to share it.  


Greyson was giving a new trike from some friends of ours.  Whenever Landry gets a chance he is taking over the bike going for some outlet or another.  He is a master at taking out the child locks from outlets and plugging in or unplugging just about anything.

Our Fireman & A Beautiful Fall

Greyson asked for a fireman pole.  I said it was impossible.  So he asked his dad.  Stephen found a pole put a ladder next to it and what do you know our son has a fireman ladder.  He loves it and has quite the fire alarm noise as well.  




Landry and Roscoe are pretty close little buddies as well.  Mostly because Landry drops a lot of food! 



 We enjoyed a beautiful fall full of warm days and beautiful sunsets.  Not a bad view at all.



Happy Halloween

We don't really go all out for Halloween, but we sure do enjoy dressing up.  Greyson seems to change outfits every 10 minutes some days so deciding on a costume was tough for him.  So he wore his dragon suit in the morning and was a race car driver in the afternoon.  


We of course went to our churches harvest party where the cake walk is a super big deal, especially for parents.  They make sure their kids participate for a cake :).


We had a good evening, but were sure tired at the end!


Randall Goodgame in Kodiak!!!!!


I love children's music.  I loved it long before I had children, but now I have a great excuse to listen, dance and sing along to all the fabulous kids music out there.  Randall Goodgame is by far one of our families favorites.  
My sister got be started on the Slugs&Bugs CDs and I soon realized that Randall had written most of my favorite songs for Caedmon's Call.  
I am always trying to get "famous" people to come to Kodiak and teach our summer counselors.  To be completely honest most of the authors, speakers and musicians are way out of our price range and even ones who may not be are not too interested in coming to Kodiak. You can imagine my surprise when Randall personally emailed me back.  He and his staff were incredible to work with and took on the challenge of coming to Kodiak! 


We had a wonderful night singing, dancing and learning so many new fun sons.  Randall and his wife went fishing with Stephen, ate supper at our home and were to of the most genuine people we'd ever met.  


If you are ever interested in a children's concert that shares the incredible life saving message of Jesus Christ all while having a fun time book Slugs&Bugs!
