Some fun moments at school...

I got these pics from Pierce's teacher... just some special moments with Pierce while he was at school... I just love seeing his smile...

Gig'em Aggies...

How about them Aggies... Gigem Aggies... WHOOP. Yes even this far from college station, Texas we are still watching us some football... we always love the Aggies but we sure do love them when they are doing good. The slingbox is up and running every weekend.... and especially this past Sunday when A&M played Nebraska... we were watching it live at 8am our time. One of Blake's co-workers (and a friend of mine from the Aggies for Christ...small world) Martin Miller and his dad came to watch the game with us... there is nothing like queso and football at 8am... Pierce even joined in the fun...

WHOOP!

How to love on people far from home...

If you saw this title and thought oh yes I have someone (know someone) that lives far from home and they just might be missing family especially during this holiday season.... and are at a lost on how to love on them... you have come to right place... it is easy... send them something in the mail... does not have to be big and does not have to be anything other than a card... but unless you know how it feels to come home and open up your mailbox and see a card or package from a loved one so far away... you will never understand just how SPECIAL it is...

Just over the past couple of weeks our mailman has delivered these...

A homemade wreath made out of pages of the bible from Auntie Elly and Uncle Keith... oh how it has made its mark in our home...

Pierce even got a bat...

We love the gifts but they probably have no idea just how special the paper wrapping was... ads from the states... our helper could not believe just now cheap things were in Texas... can you really get bread 2 for $1.... yes that is right...

When the buzzer rings during the day it is music to all of our ears... we all jump up and say "who is that"... and that is exactly what we did when this package came from Aunt JuJu and Uncle KW. My first and only Thanksgiving Holiday Decor... and we have 2 thanksgiving parties to go to this year... it will go to good use.

Pierce is never left out... he got some gummies....

And this awesome crocodile that is really small but when it sits in water for 14 days it grows really big... check it out... see how small it is but see how happy this boy is...

"how big is it going to get Pierce" ask mommy... "This Big" says Pierce.

And he was right... after 14 days... here is our pet crocodile... and it has been out of water for 5 days and is still this big... wow wee...

Think of someone right now to send something special too... and do it... hurry don't wait it will make their day.

Speechless Sunday!

Look at all those blue eyes...

Back to Halloween Night...

Really have we not finished Halloween yet.... NOPE... we had so much fun this Halloween that we just had to make sure to record every minute of it.
Halloween night we had some friends over to decorate some cookies, eat some pizza and have a Halloween hunt at our condo. Our condo is new so we had no idea what they would do for trick or treating but it was really neat... they sent us on a hunt with clues where we would find people passing out the treats... the kids had fun.

Here all the big kids are admiring the youngest of the group... Anastasia.
Here Pierce is showing all his friends how he too can touch his toes just like he did when he was a baby. (ViVi and Grandad you will enjoy this picture).

We did our decorating cookies and eating pizza outside on the balcony where we could see the festivities starting below... we are getting excited.

Ok the kids are ready... waiting on the elevator with the bags in hand... ready or not here we come.

We all fit into the elevator... even with Buzz's wings.

They wanted to wait until dark to start the hunt... the kids were ready to go... but being patient.

Off they go... here was the first stop.... we had a big kid with our group helping us with the clues... they were too hard for me.

We went down stairs, up stairs, around dark corners, by the pool and more...

Surprise even daddy was at one of the stations passing out candy...

what a great night with friends at our new condo...

Moments with Pierce....

Some great moments with our little man...
He ran out of my room one morning wearing this...

We still really like to dance... especially on mommy and daddy's bed probably bc the first time he did I was worried about the pillows with the beads and made a big deal about it and now it is his mission to jump on our bed... so now I am trying to be cool about it.


This is not so much a funny but just proof of how much he is spoiled. Here Tita (aka Mary) has made him homemade sushi, steamed broccoli and a fresh fruit smoothie for dinner.... SPOILED and he loves every minute of it...

More to come I am sure...

Pumpkin Faces...

We have a tradition in our house.... to make pumpkin faces... pumpkins are hard to come by here in Singapore and it is a matter or days before the pumpkin is attacked by mold if you carve it so we now paint on them or put these little pieces like "potato head" on them...
Here is us this year... Pierce really enjoyed making the pumpkin CRAZY looking...

Side one...

Not much different from last years pumpkin in 2009 below.

The other side of our pumpkin in 2010:

Here is a picture of Pierce in 2008 making a face on his little pumpkin (when we did not know where we could get pumpkins so we bought this one for $20 bucks.... that is why he got a small one bc they were crazy expensive....

Halloween Friday Monster Bash!

The Friday before Halloween we went to the Monster Bash at Rochester Park. We joined Violet and her gang for a day full of Halloween fun. Here Pierce all dressed up and sweet Violet a little bumble bee.

There were tons of activities for the kids to do... here Pierce is fishing. They would pick up goodies along the way and some of the activities were educational which was a nice touch.

There was trick or treating upstairs... which was a bit scary bc you had to knock on the door and this scary hand came out and you had to shake his hand to get candy... what happened to the rule "they are not allowed to touch you"... that is the only way I survived going to haunted houses... not sure about them now.

We even got to pick out what we wanted made out of balloons.. Pierce wanted an airplane and the sweet lady put a skeleton as the driver...

Face Painting... here he requested a race car... I think this was the first time she ever did a race car. I was so impressed how still Pierce was during this process.

Playing anyone???

Just could eat up this little race car driver....

Sweet Violet with her Unicorn.

Marek the Cowboy...

Just another pic of the cool race car driver.

More activities outside... have I told you yet how hot it was... it had just rained so it was muggy and humid.... yuck but with all the fun who could tell.

More fun... Here Pierce is learning fractions by placing bears in and out of circles. He was so excited to do this with the teacher. I think the teacher was enjoying having him there bc this was not a popular station if you know what I mean. But Pierce was happy to please.

They even had a jump castle... wow... so much fun... and no one got hurt... yippeee.

Then last stop up stairs for some dancing and puppet show.

Got to check out Pierce dancing.... we had never met the guy teacher in this video but it only took 5 min for him to figure out Pierce's name... so don't be confused we don't know this person but he knew Pierce if you know what I mean.

Puppet Show

He had something to say...

One last tackle on the ground with Violet... they are best buds.

Another great day with great friends... Happy Halloween.
