Our Adventures: March 2014

Sunscreen Mess & Round 1 Potty Training

Our sweet Kimbo just returned from the states and brought baby girl, the boys, and Mom some sweet surprises! J decided to test some of them out ( ie sunscreen in above picture) while Mom had her back turned for 2 seconds!!! Kimbo brought the good sunscreen... It was def water resistant!

We have decided to start the potty training. We have had one #2 success but no #1 at all.

Will update at a later time, we may not be ready yet.

Violet, j, and Andrew

One of the biggest blessings of being in Singapore are these kiddos right here, even missing quite a few and their parents! Our small group was an answered prayer when we moved here. Our prayer when we left Tyler was that we would find community in Singapore. We had such a wonderful support system in Tyler and our kids did as well it was the hardest part about leaving.

We can honestly say The Lord provided in abundance of support here!

May The Lord pour out blessings on each of these families!!!

Craziness of lunchtime with lots of kiddos!

The guys and the boys, not sure who is having more fun.

Love these two!

Nothing like a good McDonalds picnic.

J, Kate, Elsa playing in the sand.

Such a fun morning of fellowship!!

Valentine's Dates

I had the 3 best, handsome dates for Valentines Day!!

We went close to home to the Prive at the Marina across the street from our condos.

The atmosphere was fantastic! I love sitting outside in beautiful weather next to the water.

Thankful for a man who takes care of me & two little boys who love their Momma so sweetly!

May have gotten a little crazy near the end of dinner.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day- Love you to pieces

Doing our Valentines craft for our family!

We love you to pieces Weathers, Murillos, and Bulger families!!!!

The boys love doing crafts and we really try hard to send something every month!

Logan has really improved his handwriting skills lately! He loves to sound out words and have you help him spell them! He has perfected his name! :)

Jackson & Mommy Date

JD and I have been making it a point to take each of the boys on date by themselves to do something fun. This was. J and I's outing. Usually his favorite thing to do, the cable cars!! He was a little not excited. We did it anyways!

Watching the cruise ship load up!

Daddy playtime

The boys favorite time in the evenings is wrestle/playtime with Daddy!

Daddy push-ups.

Double trouble.

Singapore Science Museum Dinosaur Exhibit

Our friends the Walters invited us to go to the Science Museum with them one afternoon. The Science Museum has a dinosaur exhibit right now that we have seen multiple ads for and the boys have been dying to see!

Logan's favorite.. The T-Rex

This one scared most of the boys. It actually moved and was eating a bone. The T-Rex would lean down and the eye looked like it was looking right at you. Boys were not such a fan. There was a lot of explaining of it not being real.

They had a big sand pit with fossils buried in it and each of the boys got a paint brush to uncover the fossils. It was cute!

It was a pretty cool exhibit.

It had the largest t-Rex skull in the world, supposivley.

J liked walking around the bone exhibit.

They also had a triceratops that you could pay $8 SGD to watch it lay and egg and your child could catch the egg and open it up to hatch it. It was hilarious actually. We watched another little boy pay to do it and it was pretty funny.

Definitely a place to visit again! :)

New Friends

We met some new friends this week while Grandma was here.

The Comiskeys moved in one block over from us from Ireland (originally from the states). They have one little boy Callum and Marcie is due with another little boy in February. The boys just adore Callum like a little brother, since he is 20 months. Such a sweet, sweet family. We first met them at the pool and then took an impromptu trip to Chinatown together one morning!

Thankful for new friends!!

J swimming lesson

We decided to go ahead and start J I'm some swimming lessons. He is really showing imterest in learning and with his big brother thriving in the swimming pool I think it's time J learns some water safety.

I know you can't see it in the picture nor hear it but just to help you imagine what this moment was like. We were in the top of our clubhouse and could still hear J screaming and crying In the pool.

He obeyed all the instructor said to do but he cried and screamed and looked for me the WHOLE 45 minutes of his lesson.

We will have to evaluate if taking lessons is the right move for J right now.

Teaching Sunday School

One thing JD and I have been doing for a while now is teaching Logan's Sunday school class. It was quite challenging at the beginning as structure was a little unknown and class size was huge (14-20 4 year olds). His class has struggled to keep a consistent teacher in it this year and so after the first few times of teaching we developed our routine and started to get to know the kids and love them!! I'm so thankful JD was willing to teach with me, a few of the kids don't have the role model of a "father" or "man" in their life it was such a blessing for him to be able to do that in this role.

We have loved getting to see all the different cultures and personalities that filled this class this year. Although we have stopped teaching for the time being, preparing for baby and being gone quite a bit it was a blessing and I'm somglad we did it!
