A little of what we've been up to...

Need I say more?! I am probably the last to read the Twilight series but have finally gotten around to it! I' m actually not a huge reader so I was a bit hesitant at first, but now I am definitely "thirsty for more"!!! I've read Twilight and have just started New Moon today.
Other than that, I am 24 weeks pregnant and my tummy keeps getting larger and larger. I will maybe post a picture of my prego tummy after I get my hair done tomorrow...it's pretty sad (my hair)!


Last week, Jake went to PA to take the second part of his boards. Although he won't find out how he did for six weeks, he is happy they are over. While there, Jake was able to accomplish one of his goals in seeing the Rocky statue in real life. He was also able to eat some authentic philly cheese steaks. He says they taste exactly the same as the ones you buy at the mall!
Jake was gone 4 days. When Luke and I went to the airport to pick him up, Luke screamed and squealed when he saw his daddy. He gave Jake a huge hug and kept saying "oh, daddy, daddy." It was a happy homecoming for Jake!

Yesterday, my friend Lisa and I took our boys to McKee Ranch. We saw lots of cute animals including horses, goats, a pig, some chicken, and a donkey. The boys were brave enough to feed the animals some carrots all by themselves. Luke loved it and was very excited to say the least! I've never met such gentle animals...they were great around the kids.

Luke feeding the donkey a carrot.
I told Luke to stand next to the horse so I could take their picture, however the horse got a little too friendly with him!
We told Luke and Cole to put their arm around each other and this is what they did! I guess they thought they were a little too cool for that!
I am happy to report that Luke has been doing awesome with potty training the last couple of days. I think he finally has decided he is ready or is real motivated by his prizes. Unfortunately, we are going out of town again this weekend for another week, so we may have to put it on hold again.
Also, lately Luke has been very interested in helping us in the kitchen or helping us make big messes. Above Luke is helping me make some yummy biscuits.
Anyway, nothing too exciting, just a little update on our crazy lives.
