A Day at the Farm

Today we visited a local farm/park with some friends and the boys had a blast running around and seeing all the baby animals.

The boys were very intrigued (okay, Luke was just downright scared) of this beautiful peacock. He actually climbed back into the stroller!


Tyler loved the fact that the ducks had their own bathtub!



Luke was in heaven with all of the different things to climb on. Here he was checking out the baby lambs.


And Austin climbed up to get a better peek, too.


Trying for a portrait...he make such funny faces!


Climbing, yet again!!



His take at a portrait went a little better.


He really was fascinated by it all. Definitely got my exercise in today!


The baby pigs that Tyler loved!

Luke on the other hand, was a little terrified by their momma. He wanted to be NO WHERE near their pen. Climbed right back up and buckled himself, in!


He thought the baby goats were just the cutest. I think he was the cutest. :)


Taking a wagon ride...Oh, and having a snack, too.



We had a great time. I highly recommend heading out there for a day if you're looking for something fun to do with the kiddos. Free parking, free admittance (only a small fee for the wagon ride) and very nice people!

Lucas is 2!!


OK...so this is a VERY long overdue post, especially consider Luke is going to be three in less than two weeks.  Oops...such a bad mommy, blogger, mommy-blogger!  Man, sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging.  But, I'd much rather be living life than just watching it pass me by, so if I have to "catch-up" on some blogs here and there (a lot more "here" recently, I will admit), that's fine with me.  This blog is more of a memory book for me anyway!  :)  So...I am going to back date this, so it falls into the time-line, appropriately!

So...on to Luke's 2nd birthday.  Of course it was a train party.  As is customary, we had a party at our house and invited all of the boys little friends, and several of mommy and daddy's too.  Because let's be honestly...at this age, the parties are really for Mommy and Daddy, right?  I don't think Lucas really even knew it was his birthday, except for the fact that we sat him in front of a cake and sang Happy Birthday to him.  :)


Lucas is super into trains right now, so the theme for the party was "Two-Two, All Aboard for a Happy Birthday!"  Again, I tortured myself and made the cake.  I know, I know...Wegman's does an awesome job, but I really do enjoy it.  OK, maybe I don't act like it while I'm making it, so I guess it's the satisfaction of how it turns out that I like.  ;)  Oh, and they do taste pretty yummy, too! 



Luke had a really great time with all of his little buddies.  The weather was fabulous (maybe even a little TOO hot - at least for early April), so all of the kids got to play outside and had a ball.


We opened presents inside and that of course was a hit for Lucas.  He was amazed that it was all his!  And of course, Big Brother was there to help him out.  ;)


 It was a wonderful celebration of the past two years we've spent loving and nurturing this special little blessing.  I can't imagine our lives without him.  Happy Birthday Little Buddy!!  We love you SO very much.

Where have we been...

Oh my, I really cannot believe it has been nearly (or over actually) four months since I posted last. Oops...sorry for anyone who has been checking in on us. We are all okay and doing well, anxiously preparing to add to our family.  That's right...Tyler and Lucas are going to be welcoming a little sister to the family this summer and we are SO excited!


We've been up to lots more in the past several months, and I'll be sure to back-fill with some posts, soon.  But for now, I just wanted to share our good news!!
