Our weekend was packed full of fun since Troy was off for 4 days! I started Friday off with an early morning haircut. Finally! It looks a little wild in the pics, but I really like it when it's fixed.
Then we were off to the zoo. We decided to take the wagon this time, and it was a big hit with the boys. I think the highlight of the zoo was actually the reptile house. We'd never been in there before, and both boys loved seeing all the snakes and lizards.
Jonas was really animated this trip and really into all the animals. He even practiced his animal noises. I like this one because he's so fascinated by those fish.
We always feed the lorakeets when Dad comes to the zoo with us, and it never fails that they land on his head immediately when we enter the cage. I think they recognize him from the homeland.
Troy and I went out to a nice dinner Friday night to celebrate Valentine's day. We were supposed to go on Saturday but definitely could not get reservations less than a week in advance. Thank you to Lezlee and Jeremy who watched the boys for us!
Saturday morning we took a trip to the rodeo. We went last year and had a good time, so we thought we'd go again this year. It was cold and really crowded but still fun. The boys like looking at the big cows, horses, and pigs from afar but did not want to pet them. Jonas said, "No. No." when asked if he wanted to pet a calf and then said, "bye bye" and waved to the cow. The highligh of the day was a ride on the carousel. It cost $12 for us all to ride, and Jonas didn't even like it that much, but to Reef it was well worth the money!
Reef sat on this horse last year and was excited to sit on him again. Last year Jonas was in our pouch so this is his first ride. Funny thing about this horse...they cut his legs off in the last year! He was much taller last time!
After the carousel and a quick lunch, we hit the petting zoo. It was crowded and a little overwhelming but both boys enjoyed seeing the goats, sheep, llamas, deer, and a donkey. They also had a mommy pig who had just given birth to 3 piglets. Reef and I were looking at them, and he said, "But mommy, those little things are eating the pig!" So funny!
After naptime, we gave the boys their valentine's cards from Grandma and Gigi, and Reef has carried them around all day today, frequently asking us to read them. Troy and I gave them a V-day present of books, bath paints, and Madagascar 2. All were a big hit! Jonas' V-day gift to us was sleeping until 8:30 this morning! We had to wake him up to go to church! I'm really hoping this is the start of a new habit.

As far as the morning sickness goes, I spoke too soon in my last post and threw up the next morning! I am having more good days than bad and getting my energy back, so hopefully then end of the bad stuff is near.

Lauren! You are so tiny!! By 15 weeks I was in maternity clothes, but I'm sure you're in much better shape than me. How funny that the birds land on Troy's head, that is one reason I never went into that area.
Glad you had a fun weekend!
