April iPhone dump...

The grandparents love the random iPhone pics... so here are A LOT more from April... 

the boys are really growing up

Asher eating some good food... and banging (he does this when he wants more and when he is happy)

The next video is cute bc it shows our little man and how he loves his food... man he can focus on the smallest piece of food left on a spoon.

And our big boy loves to read... read... read...

We got some fun adventure kits from Aunt JuJu where Pierce gets to be a detective as he travels the world and find clues... he loves them and will sit down for hours with his books and map and solve all the problems to get more clues.

GM and GP sent some plants for Easter... fun times as we watched them grow.

We have a friend from Singapore that opened up a home in Mongolia that takes in street kid boys... they asked for some clothes, so we got a bunch of donations from friends at the compound and sent them off.

Pierce has a good friend that lives in the next condo across the street and they spend a lot of time playing together... They are the same age but in different classes and get a long really well.  

A video of all the fun the boys were having together...

Also under our condo they opened up a Block School.... where you can go and pick out a Lego set and sit for hours and build it with the help of sweet ladies that walk around and help the children.  Pierce loves going there with his friend.

And as most of you know there was a bit of concern last month about North Korea and much anticipation on their next move... and with B and I talking about it at home and kids on the playground... Pierce got word that we might need protection... she one day he got suited up and told me "He would protect our family".. I feel much safer now.

Look I found in Ashers bed AGAIN...

We do a lot of clowning around... Pierce figured this out one day by using the two mirror cabinets in the bathroom... who would have thought we have our very own funny house.

The weather has gotten so nice.. and we were just out for a nice stroll....

He might be chewing on bed rails and starting to move around a lot... but he still falls a sleep in my arms (at times).. and I love every minute of it...

Have I mentioned that it is spring time... look at these trees... breath taking.

And we had a baby shower for a good friend... baby Esther... I can't wait for her and Asher to play together.

We got a new play mat for Asher's patio... and he loves it... 

And some of the most exciting news... we have another niece... so happy to be an aunt (uncle, cousin) to baby Bailey.... isn't she cute...

Date night with my favorite big brother... a special time with him for sure... he was so excited all day to get mommy all to himself... and so was I....

For several months now we have been attending a new church called Bloom... where we stream in FaithBridge sermons from the states and meet at the clubhouse.  The church has grown and we are so blessed by all of our sisters and brothers... Look at all the children... a couple of weeks ago we had to make two Sunday school rooms... God is good.

And of course Aggie Muster... we honored our fallin' Aggie brothers and sisters here in Ulsan.

This muster we held at our friends house... Blake could not attend which was sad but I was so happy to hold our newest member as he slept and hear our eldest read out "the call to muster" for the group.  It brought tears to my eyes... what a great tradition to teach our children.

And these leggings... need I say more????

Ready for school... the hair is getting a little out of control but he's still pretty cute.

Looks like we got another one who likes to read.

I have been waiting for this moment... when you put your kid in a white shirt for school and as you do it you realize that it will not come back while but you are running too late to change it... so here is the end product... why are their sneaker prints on his shirt... yes he was stepped on... a new game at school... not sure about that one...

Pierce has moved up several levels in reading... he is now on the Gold level... look at all those words... 

Convo with Pierce

On the way home today Pierce said this...

"Mom, I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up... a Scientist, or someone who pushes the cart in the airplane, or someone who owns the Lego school like Block School or the man who takes care of the orphans"... silence from both of us after that... we both had a lot to think about...

Love this boy...

Some April fun...

Here are some random shots of some fun in April (when I did not have my big camera)...

Pierce working hard at something... check out the video at the end.  Pierce is still drawing up a storm but now with a new level... he provides step by step directions... but this picture is great bc proof that when Pierce concentrates he sticks out his tongue.
 

A picture taken by Pierce as he is in bed with Asher.

We had Hope with us a lot this month... Her baby sister was born so she got to have a 4 day sleepover with us.

 

Wonder where they get it????

We also got to attend our first Korean Wedding... all dressed up.

 

My man...

I happened to look back and this is what I saw so I snuck and picture.... sweet moment between two brothers...

Pierce got a lot of great presents for Easter this year... and one of his favorites was a sweet note from his Grandpa and some fun plants.

And of course we got to do a lot more Hashes...
