Recently-engaged couple Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have been living their best lives lately and it’s not because they’re fully planning out their impending nuptials.

Over the last few weeks, the couple has been spending quality time at his farm in Washington State, where they’re doing everything from building out the home all the way to tending to sheep.

That’s right.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor has been relentless about sharing photos from his farm, including the domestication process for a few of his lambs and other household livestock. On Monday, February 25, Pratt posted a new photo of his future wife cradling two black lambs named “Blackbelt” and “Quicksilver.”

Here are twin Suffolk lambs, “Blackbelt” and “Quicksilver.” These Suffolk Sheep descended from a nearly wild breed of Island Sheep, over three human family generations and dozens and dozens of lamb generations, becoming incredibly hardy. Before coming to our farm the entire herd gave birth in the fields with no veterinary help whatsoever. With no man made shelter, no medicine, no hoof trimming and no supplemented nutrients only the strongest survived. The result is an incredibly athletic, wild and unusually hardy sheep, which when full grown can easily jump a 5 foot fence. Ask me how I know! One of them jumped head first into my chest at a full run and nearly knocked the wind out of me. I was brought back to my days as an all area inside linebacker. Point being, I was an all area inside linebacker. Nonetheless, we’ve had many unique challenges trying to domesticate these wild little Suffolk. But it’s working! Amazingly mama didn’t mind as we picked up her babies. Our hope is in a couple generations they will become as calm and fearless as the other domesticated breeds.

The two are currently also co-parenting a bunch of lambs, eleven to be exact, with their latest addition to the family being dubbed “Alice Coopworth.”

Pratt proposed to Schwarzenegger in a surprising announcement last month. However, according to multiple insiders, the proposal was hardly a shock to those who know the couple well. Even less surprising is the possibility of the couple marrying sooner than later and Pratt wanting more children with Schwarzenegger. (He has one son, Jack, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris.)

“The future? Oh, lots of kids,” he told Entertainment Tonight recently. “Maybe less time spent working, more time spent enjoying life.”

“I always want to be that guy that works to live, not lives to work,” he continued. “I think [I want to spend] just a lot of time at the farm and a lot of time catching a lot of fish and seeing lots of sunsets.”
