Bridger's Christmas Program

Bridger had his 1st preschool Christmas Program.
Oh how entertaining it was!!
We watched 2 boys punch each other,
a couple running all over like crazy,
and some getting so into the songs and dancing all over..
and then there was cute little Bridger.
He had a speaking part.
It was:
B is for boxes with ribbons and bows, and boots that we wear to keep warm in the snow.
He did an excellent job!

He is definitely our shy boy..
But he has been looking forward to this Christmas program for weeks.
We have been practicing the songs and his speaking part too.
This kid just melts my heart..


Here is a concerned look he did a little bit during the program..

During the rudolph song

There is his cute smile...
oh i just love it!
Everytime he would catch eyes with Tagen or me he would get this big grin!
Here he is with all his class and the younger class with his cute teacher
Mrs. Kristen!

Aunt Tagen and Uncle Eric came and supported Bridger
It really meant a lot to him..
He just loves these guys!
and His Great Papa and Gramma that he just loves!

Catch Up!

I'm so Behind on this stinkin blog! I feel like life is always crazy that there is never(very rare) a moment of silence to write in this darn thing. This is my only journal/scrapbook that I have for my family. So I'm trying to stay up on it. So, here it goes!


Thanksgiving 2010




We headed down South to Grandma Shari's(Mike's Mom's) and Vernon's house for Thanksgiving.
We had a delicious dinner, and mainly it was really great spending time with everyone.
The Boys had fun going on a walk and seeing some buffalo and playing in the snow.

FUN RANDOM STUFF
i look forward everyday to seeing what costumes will come about.

Foster moved EVERYTHING in the toy room to one corner, so he could have a fort!
He was so proud of himself..

Bridger went through a phase where he was obsessed with layering. At one time he layered 10 shirts. This time he layered all his beanies.


Tape has been wonderful entertainment this winter season..
Bridger came up with this invention on hanging his tape all over everywhere, and sticking whatever he can find on it. It has entertained him for hours!

Bridger has been really into learning all the Bible stories.
He especially loves the story of Samuel the Lamanite.

The flying boat, is a nightly activity in our house.
(Fost is in the blanket)

We got the boys to dress up and act out some stories.
It was really funny..

Here's more tape fun!

We have had some amazing sunsets lately!


I don't know how we started this.. but Mike was doing the running of the bulls with the kids.. They would run back and forth through the batman cape and yell, "Ole"..
Bernie got so excited and started doing it too.. I was pretty hilarious.

These boys are so lucky to have such a fun Dad.
Everynight the boys look forward to when dad gets home so they can do there crazy wrestling matches.
Bridger and Bernie are inseperable.

I know this is really old, but i had to post it!
It was our last hike for this year up Fernwood with some friends.
i love how goofy little boys are!
My boys and i are so happy to have such fun friends.
Bridger wore his sweet spidey lace cape and his tight Robin costume..
It gave us all a good laugh.
i love this cute little/chubby Mason!

The cute Girly's..
I somehow didn't get a pic of cute Jake.

5 SECONDS!

That's all it takes..

Here's our latest crazy story in the Ostrander Fam..

We were at Home Depot last night and we were looking at paint samples. Foster was standing right by me with his spiderman and elephant. I turned around to look at the paint sample and 5 seconds later i turned back around and Foster was gone! I looked down the isle and he was no where to be found! I yelled over to Mike that i can't find Foster and we both start searching the isles.. I checked all the isles we were by, and then I automatically ran to the front to make sure he didn't go out the front door, and to tell the front desk lady to annouce it on the intercom, and to lock the doors.(that has always been my worst fear that someone will kidnap my kids and take off out the front doors before i realized) I became super frantic, i was crying, and running all over the place. I had all these nice people asking me what's wrong and so I told them I was looking for my little 2 year blond boy, who's wearing a blue sweatshirt.. They all started searching as well. I felt completly lost, and i was running like a crazy person up and down the isles.(Mike was on the other side of the store doing the same thing with Bridger in the cart) Home depot is huge and the isles are super long and tall, and there is scary stuff in all of them.. i said a silent prayer .. 10 minutes has passed now, which seemed like 5 hours!!

I ran back to the paint area again and a lady from our ward came out running with our blond little Foster. I just grabbed him and held him so tight. She said he was hiding back on a shelf in the middle behind the paint. She was looking around and could hear some singing and talking.. Foster was just enjoying some quiet time hanging out taking a poop!

I'm pretty sure losing a child is the worst feeling. I felt like a horrible Mom for losing focus on him and for not keeping him in the cart.. I have learned my lesson, and hopefully he has too, by seeing his crazy, hysterical mom lose it in front of the whole Home Depot store!
