In Jamaica, Sometimes the Boys Go a Little Bananas!

[@brendabrown7803]

And thank you guys for letting us into your home bless up your self ❤️

[@brendabrown7803]

I'm so happy that you guys don't fight , keep the love Strong ❣️ Tyler I like your coffee Cup

[@fireandirie]

🥰Thanks!

[@Happey67]

It is so nice to see Sonia hugging Junior. As you all know some children require much touching, attention etc,. while others may not.

[@marvafrancis8524]

Good job, Dave, writing about your trip to Panama.That's an experience you will never forget. I hope to see many more trips with all the kids

[@fireandirie]

Island tour this summer if everyone survives together until then!😅

[@maureengolding2980]

Glad you all are back safe and sound.

[@teresadistasi8037]

Looks like another glorious and productive day in rural Jamaica. Tyler, you and Sonia are remarkable! Such a huge undertaking of teaching the boys so many life skills. Blessings to you all from 🇨🇦

[@fireandirie]

Thanks so much...hope some warm weather is headed your way...unless it's already there...sometimes I miss four seasons!

[@teresadistasi8037]

Just outside of Toronto so pretty much south. The warm weather is here on and off. I like 3 /4 seasons. Especially not winter! Also, I agree with Sonia about the Patties. Just had one from “Tastee” and they’re the best. We can get a lot of Jamaican products here but, the Red Stripe definitely tastes better in 🇯🇲 and the ☀️ 🌴

[@JacquelineMeikle-y7k]

Good job Dave, keep it up 💯

[@deanneblack3439]

You guys are so lucky to be able to just go outside and pick fresh fruit and veggies from the trees. Such a beautiful place to live ❤

[@fireandirie]

It's not perfect, but definitely an adventure...=)

[@stacymyers2181]

Very lovely episode.. Junior and Dave acting so responsible and grown up. Thats how i love to see it , all of you working together and happy. We know it wont be honky dory all the time because this is the real world. But i am confident there will be many episodes like this.

[@fireandirie]

Hope is growing daily...=)

[@cynthiafender2761]

A wonderful day. The whole family was very inspiring and shown much growth

[@fireandirie]

Thanks Cynthia!

[@kerri-annmalcolm6913]

I think Junior missed Sonia. First holding her hands in the previous video on the way to Highgate and now he is doing chores. Keep it up Junior. I see where he seems to want affection of a parent/guardian. Keep working with him Tyler and Sonia. I pray God continue slow to give you patience

[@fireandirie]

...slowly but surely...🥰

[@yvonnemiller1284]

This video had me smiling throughout. I loved the interaction of the family members, and especially the engagement of Dave and Junior. There is something special about Junior, that makes me keep rooting for him. I guess Craig is the more introverted of the boys as he is not engaging as much. Good seeing you Andre. Feel better Sonia. As always much love family❤

[@fireandirie]

Teenagers...🤷‍♂️

[@mushymoshy]

🎉🎉🎉Big up & much ❤ to Junior for his persistence and hard work while doing his math & other homework 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Junior let out Sonia secret about her swearing😂 The two of dem bantering is soo funny 😊

Thanks for sharing, Great content, Dave that Dumpling dough looks delicious enjoy guys, Andre is always the star of the show,Blessings everyone.

So cool! 😎

It is so sweet of you to let Dave get out of his comfort zone and let him get experiences😁.

Always an adventure one way or another...just watch out for the machete!😅

Oh, he kills us too sometimes!!! =/

[@maureengolding2980]

I have never had pumpkin dumpling before. 🎃 🎃

[@fireandirie]

Pretty fantastic 🥰

[@elizabethhall1527]

Your time away seems to have caused Junior to pause. His demeanor in this video was much subdued. The way he answered to you and Sonia is more respectful (he must have missed you both). I think he's trying to be on your next trip. Tyler, you're smart, never pick a fight with a lefty. Dave did a good job with the dough. I bet it was delicious. I like the way your channel is gently growing. Keep up the good work.

[@fireandirie]

Slowly but surely...well see if Juniors newfound appreciation lasts. As for Sonia, little does she know I'm ambidextrous 🥰

[@deanneblack3439]

Andre is so adorable 🥰 ❤

[@Jennifermiller-e8h]

Morning all, loved this episode it's like I'm there with you all in Highgate. Go Andre, proud of your progress, keep it up. But Junior, Dave and Craig, mi luv unnuh bad, but duh, please say, aunty Soans and Mr. T/uncle T, nuh man, suppen like dat, cho, come on man, alright?😊😊

[@fireandirie]

Will pass the message on!🥰

[@ListedInTheSouth]

It would be funny if they called Tyler "Mr. T". Tyler, do you have any gold chains? 🤣

[@fireandirie]

@ListedInTheSouth ha, not as yet...they wouldn't know who that is! I pity the fools...🤣

Choose somewhere to explore.I'm from Jamaica, and I never get the chance as a child to visit other parishes. I wish I had the opportunity. Now, I'm abroad watching KZbin channels. I wanna come back and visit every parish beautiful.

[@fireandirie]

Looking forward to it this summer once we get through with a vehicle...=)

Go Junior ,well relax with your book work today. I never try pumkin dumplings. I have to try it soon.After so many years away Sonia still know how to pick jelly😂

[@fireandirie]

Like riding a bike....well...she never learned how to do that one...=)

[@jacquelineforde3251]

Tyler, you are blessed to be able to gather your own eggs. The price for real organic eggs in the US is ridiculous. I have seen it in some stores as much as almost $12 USD😳. Yes Tyler some of the stores in the US you have to show your receipt. Costco and BJ are 2 of those stores.

[@fireandirie]

Oh yes, very true...wow...enjoying the eggs even more now!🥰

[@lascelleturner1088]

Junior, what a feisty lil boy, yuh daring yuhnuh!!!😮

[@fireandirie]

...I know right...definitely a unique character.😅

[@omaramcfarlanewilliams2368]

Hey Tyler, Kban Hardware has the shower head water heater at a very reasonable price. I got one and it works well.

[@fireandirie]

Noted! Thanks!😎🤙

[@deanneblack3439]

Junior is too cute ❤

[@fireandirie]

Ha, don't let the smile fool ya! =)

[@carlamangal2651]

Hi guys, It's good to see you guys home and in the garden cutting bananas. Did you know you can leave the bananas on the tree until they start to ripen? Sonia, I would love to have one of those coconut jelly water. Lol. 😂❤

[@fireandirie]

Yes, very true. We do fancy boiled green bananas as well, so we chop it to get some green ones and them eat the rest as they ripen 🥰

[@karlenemiller7022]

Junior working for the next trip 👍

[@roseanderson3162]

Blessings Sonia and Tyler. Been watching since you sold your house and preparing to relocate to Jamaica and first time commenting. Just a thought. Can you arrange for the boys to spend one weekend per month with their sister so you two can enjoy quality time? One love

[@fireandirie]

Morning Rose! Thanks for your support on our adventure! As weeks are beginning to turn into months, I definitely am beginning to explore options to see what we can work out. Their sister's place is...let's just say...quite different than our home, and. yes, could provide a good perspective reminder for the boys as well as some nice R & R...with school days going on and neither of us working, we have a decent balance of 'our time' for now, but with summer quickly approaching we're going to need to explore options for sure! Blessings and enjoy the day. =)

[@howardjessica7704]

The best way to get this channel going is to, teach the kids the tech stuff, let them shoot the videos, learn to edit and share their opinions. They will only get better as they get older and will be well skilled in a very lucrative contemporary craft.

[@fireandirie]

Couldn't agree with you more! Would love to pass on the torch one day...and they've made a few videos thus far, but still working on developing their interest as they know they are welcome to film anytime. Will keep at it.🥰

[@julietlewis9987]

Junior is so FUNNY AND CUTE! I just love him. I think there is a strong bond growing between him and Sonia. BTW, I notice that Craig hardly carries the groceries whenever you guys shopping. Am I correct? Where was Andre all this time? Glad to see him back. He has been missing a lot in the vlogs. .

[@fireandirie]

Ha, right?! Glad someone else noticed! Yea, he's a bit lazy sometimes and needs a bit of a reminder to help out! Andre comes and goes with the breeze, so he's around and lives next door, but can never predict when he's coming over.🥰

[@juliemitchell9905]

It the change of weather

[@renzpea7984]

Dave should practice more English at home that way English at school will be more of a breeze .. Jr too .. would be a good challenge for them , and they could be rewarded accordingly for their efforts .

[@fireandirie]

Will keep tryin!🥰

[@ListedInTheSouth]

"Shining bright like a diamond"...that's you Sonia. Tyler, I was just having the same conversation with my husband the other day, the sagging pants trend is one that we both would like for it to go away ASAP. Anyway, nice to see you all back together again. Missed you Andre 🌞.

[@fireandirie]

Ha, right!?!? 😝 Enjoy the day.

[@JacquelineMeikle-y7k]

Tyler you need to speak more patios 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@fireandirie]

Ha...doesn't sound so good and slips out every once and awhile...tough when only proper English example around tough to give up.😅

[@jennieblake3719]

Why don't you use a container to put the eggs in when collecting??

[@fireandirie]

Ha, never thought of it honestly...with only 5 eggs daily on average just managed em in the hand...but with apples coming, will need to start considering!!🥰

[@juliemitchell9905]

When that kid talks about cursing It’s not a time to laugh It’s a time to talk to him about respect He will go to School and curse the Teachers Time to have a good talk so you won’t be ashamed later Please

[@fireandirie]

I agree and appreciate the insight...they are really respectful of school and still getting used to modifying their vocabulary...hard to unlearn after so many years, but we'll keep at it.

[@deanhamilton9280]

I don't know why Tyler think the persons in the USA is different from the other counties or he's living in a twilight zone. When your leaving Wal-mart, Sams, BJ's and other grocery stores you have to show your receipt before leaving.

[@fireandirie]

Definitely twilight zone...touche

[@Countrybossmuic]

Sonia is a real country girl, brave picking coconut wow

Amen!🥰
