An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
When needed, use safety devices to protect yourself...
And always remember, that you are wonderful and so beautiful!
On Friday night, Justin and I got to go on a date. Our friend, Shantelle, came over with her girls and slept over so we could go out. We attended a Stanford GSB Alumni dinner. We were surprised when we got the invitation because we did not know of any GSB alumni in the area. It turned out to be a small group, five of us total, but was such a great evening. It made me so excited to go back to Stanford and have Justin finish up his last year. Stanford is such a great place!
In the morning, the kids had fun playing together and we all had breakfast at the buffet downstairs.

After we said goodbye to our friends, Justin's boss, Graham, came and picked us up and we headed to Fraiser's Hill. When the British Colonized Malaysia, they founded different hills or highlands that were their escape from the heat. We went from 92 degrees to 75 degrees. It was a nice escape, indeed!
We also went to Allen's Lake and road in a paddle boat. 
It was such a pretty ride. The lake had several fingers that we went down and we felt like we were the only ones around for miles.
We had to stop at the local park and the kids loved playing on all the new structures.

On the way home, the curvy roads had the same effect on the kids. We were more prepared this time so Jorgen's throw up did not get on anyone but happily made it into an empty pretzel bag. Shelley threw up as well but not nearly as much as Jorgen. In fact, it barely fazed her. She was holding a raisen and the second after she threw up, she just popped the raisen back in her mouth. Thankfully, they both fell asleep on the way home.
Jorgen took his off to take a drink of water and we thought he looked like a doctor. Funny boy.
Other than being sick, we have been enjoying our time here, which is dwindling down. Two weeks to go until we fly to Russia!!
Jorgen with his chocolate milk mustache.
This little girl LOVES bananas.
I love seeing all the different positions Jorgen sleeps in. This boy loves his blanket!
You might not be able to tell, but this is Jorgen on his make-shift bed on the floor. He likes to put all of the pillows on the floor and sleep there. But somehow he always ends up off of the pillows and on the floor.
This is the lovely view from the water area.
Shelley gets stuck a lot!
Jorgen loves the waterfall!
My merman just relaxing in the cool water.
Jorgen usually loves walking through the waterfall but this is the closest he would get this time.
This is the closest I would let Shelley get. If it weren't for her contacts, I think she would be swimming laps around the pool by now. She loves the water!
This picture is so funny! Whitey-boy Jorgen screaming and running through a crowd of brown Asians.
The other day, Shelley brought me Jorgen's closes to put on, ontop of her own. Wow, she could pass for her brother!
I had fun last week cooking new meals. If anyone wants recipes, I would love to share. This post is long enough without including them.
This is what Malaysian pudding looks like, guava flavor. I don't know if you can tell, but it's jelly like, but not jell-o. Strange stuff for sure. The flavors are fun though.
I made my sister's tasty butternut squash soup and added some curry to it. I had to make it more ethnic by making some (premade, frozen-have no idea how to actually make these) Indian roti paratha. These things are delicous! The second ingredient is margarine - no wonder they taste good. They are a mix between a tortilla and nan bread. Yummy!
And how could I not include a little twist on American Pizza. This pizza comes from Pizza Hut, it's called Thai Supreme and I so wish they made it back home. It is divine!
Time here is going by too fast! We only have three weekends left here in Malaysia! Really, I cannot believe it. Last weekend was so jam packed, we decided to take it easy this weekend. Justin had to work a few hours as well so we just hung around, swam, and went out to dinner. It was a nice relaxing day. On a typical day, Justin does not get home in time to see the kids before they go to bed. So weekends are their favorite times to play with daddy!
Nana and Papa gave Jorgen a remote control helicopter for his birthday. Jorgen thinks it is the neatest thing! We love playing with it and seeing it perform operation kamekaze over and over again.
Shelley loves to watch it but we have to watch her closely, she easily can become a moving target.
We had some friends from the branch over for lunch after church. Daniel and Eric are two of the nicest people! Daniel is from Nigeria and was baptized in KL three years ago. Eric is from Gana and was baptized in KL about one year ago. We talked about their conversion stories and had a great afternoon with them. I think Shelley has a crush on Daniel, she hardly lets anyone hold her but has found favor in two other people so far...Shantelle and Daniel.
We had FHE Sunday and we made some white chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles on them. Yummy, yummy!
This is one of my favorite pictures, they love playing together.
Justin is the FUNNEST dad! Really, I am always so surprised at the games he comes up with. Sunday night, he played Jorgen and Shelley blast off again. They could not get enough of it. All the pillows in this hotel really make this game a hit!
Justin then ran around with Jorgen, and sometimes Shelley, on his back and pretended he was an airplane. Jorgen was laughing so hard, he was hardly breathing. Justin would kick the pool ball around while flying which Jorgen thought was hilarious. Did I mention that this boy of ours is easily amused?
The airplane had several crashes and I think Jorgen almost wet his pants, he was having so much fun!
Oh darling Shelley, you have the cutest cheeks ever! I just want to munch on them!
