Fun on the Farm

Moving the chicken coop for our 20 chickens.  

Building another fence.  Stephen has been an incredible champion to get all this work done. 

It has been a lot of fun getting our preschoolers and school aged kids involved with feeding the animals. 

Then we added Mags and Clara.  They are two very precious little goats and oh so sweet. 

Roscoe needed his summer haircut.  Landry and Greyson had lots of fun helping 

We Kinda Bought A Farm

It is amazing how quickly life can change!  We got a call and a week later we had a bottle calf.  Of course the bottle calf named Samson needed a friend, so along came brownie.  As you can see Stephen brought Samson and Brownie home in the back of our jeep (it took a good washing, but it does not stink).  Brownie and Samson are quite the pair and the boys love them.  We have made a great not so little (thanks to Stephen) pasture space for them and a little shelter.  

After working outside Landry loves to get a cookie.  This kid is amazing.  He can climb anything and never seems to get hurt.  

Then along came the chickens.  Yes chickens.  I have had cows, sheep, goats, horses . . . but no chickens.  Until now.  Here in Kodiak eggs get expensive so why not.  Well these little guys were a lot of work, but so precious and fun to watch.  

Every morning I would walk from our house down to the barn.  I love this view!

Fun on the swing. 

Greyson being silly

 The boys are getting great at doing chore

 The weather has been unbelievable in Kodiak!  It has gotten up into the 60s a few time and one day up into the 70s.  We have done our best to enjoy every minute of it.

Happy Easter!

Happy 2 Years Landry Don

Well two whole years Landry has been making his name as the youngest Foreman.  He is quite the kid, full of energy, incredibly coordinated and extremely tough.  This little guy keeps up moving and moving.  He also keeps us all praying that he stays safe.  There is nothing Landry will not climb and go through.  We love him so incredibly much and are daily thankful for this amazing life the Lord has entrusted us with.

For his birthday I tried my hand out at a caterpillar cake.  He loved it and was a little overwhelmed by our entire KBM crew singing to him.  

I had a lot of fun taking his two year pictures too.  He is pretty photogenic. 

Fun Times at Home

We never know what we will find in Greyson and Landry's room after they quit laughing and go to sleep.  Well this was the other night. Greyson decided to sleep next to his brother.  

The Mission had fun attending the Kodiak Children's Fair.  We made moon sand and had tons of fun.  

Greyson and Landry have some incredible friends here at KBM.  They all love playing together and can even disagree like siblings at times. :)

Landry loves his shirt.  He is so going to be a farmer some day! 

I have been amazed at how many people have stopped me to comment about how white the boy's hair is.  Just today the vegetable guy at the grocery store stopped me to talk about our blue eyes and blonde hair.  He went into the back and got Landry an orange special because he was so intrigued by him.  It is true, there are not many kiddos on the island that look like these boys.  We have been asked if we are in the Coast Guard and when I say no it gets an even bigger response.  How fun!

We laid out the net that will go on top of the chicken coop and goat pen.  Landry liked it too

Fun times with Dad.  He really is the most fun guy we know. 

Sonshine Christian Preschool

It is hard to believe that I have been working at Kodiak Baptist Mission for nine whole years . . . I don't feel this old at all.  I do though find it incredibly amazing that I really did hear correctly from God.  Today I feel even more passion and sense of ministry to the Mission than I did as a young college graduate.  Sure a lot has changed but I daily see how the Lord is using this little mission on a little island surrounded by a huge ocean to spread the amazing life changing message of Jesus Christ.

The past few weeks I have been making a new preschool video for families.  Of course Greyson and Landry have been doing it with me (one of the biggest changes to my job since I started, but also one of the best!) As we hopped from classroom to classroom Greyson jumped right in and I came to understand, with a new appreciation what a parent feels like whose child attends our programs.  We provide a safe, loving environment that gives kids the opportunity to open their heart to hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ.  As a parent I was overjoyed to see Greyson succeed in the classroom with the other children.  I loved watching the teachers being completely present, involved, communicating and learning about each child.  Praise God for the people he is calling into this ministry to continue to share the Gospel.  

Enjoy our preschool video.

Foreman Family Hawaiian Adventure

We had a great time in Hawaii.  Here are some of the videos from it.
