Movies in the Park...

About a month ago... we had a wonderful family +1 night.  Blake had come home earlier that week and mentioned that the radio station that he listens to in the morning was putting on a movies in the park night for free... and they were playing "Despicable Me" and "Iron Man".  He was so excited about this (my man loves movies and loves to be outside) so of course we were going.  We also had a sleepover that night with one of our neighbors kid, Audrey (you have seen her before)... so she got to come along... hence "our family +1".

Here are the kids all ready for the movie to start... we got the pallet ready, food is coming, and the kids are happy... lets get it rollin.

Even these kids are happy for it to start...

We got there early to get a good seat... but so far it does not look that packed right... keep watching....

And have I mentioned that the weather was perfect... look at this sky...



It's getting a little busier... wow where did all these people come from...



The radio host kept saying that there was a surprise coming and sure enough when the surprise came we had to rush and get in line to get a picture... The first picture I have to keep bc it was when Blake's favorite radio host "the flying Dutchman" was helping Pierce get all situated...

And the real deal... so fun...

Compare this picture to the one above when there was no one... it is getting packed... and by the time the movie started there was barely a walk way left...

The kids were entertaining themselves before the movie... they were so cute...

Yeah it is finally dark and the movie has started... the kids were awesome... they watched the whole show and they both were very sad when we had to leave before 'Iron Man' started...


Another great night...

6 on the 6th!

August 6th 2011... mark the day of Blake and I's 6th wedding anniversary.  I have officially been married to my best friend for 6 years and we always try to reflect on this day where we have been, what we have overcome, remember God's favor and celebrate (in advance) of what's to come.

I love you Blake and am so proud of you in so many ways... and so blessed that God made me for you and you for me.  I am honored to stand beside you as we continue this journey together.  Love Love.



Thank you babe for everything...

Birthday Season...

We have officially hit the "birthday party every weekend" season... I can always remember parents of older children saying "just wait until you have birthday parties every Saturday" when Pierce was little... well it only took 4 years and we are here... and loving every minute of it.  There are some great places to have birthday parties here in Singapore and here are just two of them.

Alex turned 5 and his party was at SAFRA, which has a huge indoor playground with the tallest indoor spiral slide in Asia.  Alex was super sweet bc he invited all of his friends from school and then Pierce and he was sensitive to the fact that Pierce might not know anyone so he saved him a seat right next to him at the table.  Pierce was so excited that he got to sit by Alex and have a green plate (it is the little things). Happy Birthday Alex (this is Pierce's best bud).

 Here we go down the tallest spiral indoor slide in Asia... we were both very happy to take a spin...

 Next party was a friends from school, Hee Chan who turned 5 and he had his party at a Taekwondo place... oh boy lots of fun and lots of children...

 The place had Taekwondo instructors as the party guys.... and they were so much fun they would turn out the lights and let the kids go crazy... so glad they were in charge... check out the video of the madness.

 

Pierce was so close to the cake that it looks like his birthday... he was so excited bc it was an Angry Birds b-day cake...

 Happy Birthday Hee Chan... with his cute little bow tie.

And you better believe it.. we have 2 birthday parties next weekend... stay tuned (again).

You have got to see this...

When Shelby was here this summer (I know I know I still need to blog about that)... we were introduced to Shelby's naked dance which takes place after shower time. Pierce loved it and came up with his own... but he does his in the shower... so here ya go...Enjoy!

Pierce's Naked Dance... take 1...

A friend turns 3 in style...

Pierce's friend Chiara turned 3... and man was the party a blast.  She loves Lion King and her parents know how to throw a party Lion King style.

Here is Pierce at the beginning of the party at the entrance of the palm trees made out of balloons... he looks like he is just not sure... wonder what he will think at the end... (he looks so grown up in this picture to me)

There was a bouncy castle for the adults  children... Pierce stayed right beside my leg for the first 10 minutes bc the place was packed with kids having fun and he just was not sure... we were a little late so the fun was already in full throttle...



Check out this cake... wow weee... I do have to say Pierce wanted to eat Simba's foot..

I did not get a picture of Chiara the 3 year old birthday girl (I know what is wrong with me) but here is her sister Gian fully painted up...

Then Pierce and I noticed the face painting station... or arm... and he wanted to stand in line (for 20 minutes no joke) to get painted on... this face/arm painter was awesome... check out this princess... wow

He was such a good boy 10 minutes in to the line that I told him that he could go play while I stayed in line... and this is what he choose to do... is this my kid?

And then he made a friend and this is where he went next...

Pierce, now it is your turn for some painting... are you happy?


So he sits down and says he wants something camouflage... the sweet lady looks at me with a question in her eyes and I say "something military".  And then I ask Pierce what do you want camo... jet, plane, helicopter, etc.  And then he says "Camouflaged Apache Helicopter"... and then she looks at me again with a question in her eyes... and I say just a helicopter will do... and this is what he got... pretty good huh?

Now there is the birthday girl in front of cake with her parents behind... we love you Song's and thanks for a great bday celebration... one we could never top but so glad we were invited too :-).

Orchids... how I love you!

This one is for my mom... would you ever believe that I can grow orchids (with Tita's help of course).  My friend Jane gave me this when we moved back to Singapore a year ago and it had flowers then... they say Orchids only bloom once a year and sure enough early this summer it was showing signs of blooming again... and within a couple of weeks we had 6 stems of flowers all at the same time.  It was beautiful and lasted about a month... those 6 stems fell off after a month or so and now it has 2 new stems of flowers... love it...
