Fun before the rain

I have been trying to post more the 4 pictures in a post and not having much luck...Im trying again so we'll see how this turns out.

Today we got a late start, but headed out to Monterey Bay Aquarium to see the hammer head sharks and divers.  Thankfully is wasn't too crowded!  Our favorite thing to see is the outer bay exhibit with the giant tunas, great white sharks and the beloved hammer heads.  We also saw the jelly fish, penguins and otters.  We got a lot in in a short amount of time!

Now we are waiting for the rain that the meteorologist has promised...

Right before bed...

They boys got a "treat" of watching 10 minutes of Americas Funniest Home Videos before bed and I got to take a rare photo with Luke next to Toonces...he is slowly being nicer to the kitty. Very slowly.

This pose really shows the boys different personality's.
Jack in intent on the tv and holds his body much closer together.
Luke, on the other hand, is all spread out and had a 3 minute attention span on the TV.
AFV is one of the few shows that luke likes...that and Max and Ruby.

I finally get Jack to smile at me with out making a silly face.
(not such a great pix of the cat...sorry toones)

Luke in his typical manner of no more pictures...sadly he does this way too much.

Wordless Wednesday - helicoper

The boys love Uncle Bills helicoper.
Up up in the air and then crash to the ground!

Sunset

We dont get a whole lot of sunsets out here in the sticks...
We do live in a forest and even tho we are near santa cruz, we are no where near the ocean.

But occasionally we do get some very pretty sky.

And last night was one of those nights.

I suppose it was predicting the rain we also got latter that night, but it sure was pretty at the time.

play ball!

Luke is very serious about his baseball.

He has an intent look on his face the whole time.

He tends to make the ball go sideways, but at least he hits it!
Of course he does pitch to himself... I got tired of him blaming me for not being able to hit the ball!

Future Giant...they need hitters!

Hello Summer

Apparently the weather is a tease...
today was GORGEOUS!

The boys had just come home from spending the night at Auntie Kate and Uncle Bills (Yeah, us)
and headed out to the back yard.
I went to check on them and this is what I found!

Playing together so well and working together (so rare)
It was very cute!

Fig's cheese muffins via PW

I had hoped to make this more of a food blog, but it is pretty much just a Jack and Luke blog..
Maybe some day i'll get more into food blogging but for now here is a sporadic recipe.
These are delicious and yummy cheese muffins found on the Pioneer Woman Cooks blog.
Ree is amazing and has an awesome blog!
I would love to eat everything she makes, but I would weigh a million pounds.
Here is the link to the recipe and I would highly encourage you to check out her site.
