Lots of Blue and Lake Havasu

So we decided spur of the moment to find out our baby's sex at the ultrasound... and we're having another BOY!

Thought we'd take this fun picture while we were in Lake Havasu in order to share the news.

I have to admit that Daniel was psyched right away and for me it took a little while... but now I am getting really excited for Jonah to have a little brother!! If he is anything like Jonah I will be the luckiest mommy in the world :)

Below is a slideshow of some random pics from earlier this month and then our trip to Lake Havasu to visit my parents. Jonah had a blast with his Grandma Andrea and Grandpa Stan. He is still talking about everything we did. Daniel and I escaped for a night to Las Vegas. We stayed in this really cool hotel called Red Rock and I even won over $100 in roulette! Woo hoo!

Winter Fun

I have been absolutely terrible about taking pictures lately! I've got to get back into the swing of things. Here are a few though from the past couple of months... of course mostly of Jonah. He's so fun - just talking up a storm and doing great with the potty. Playdoh is his newest obsession, and I have to take some pictures of him playing with it!

Big News!

We are having baby #2 in August!
My due date is the 8th and so far, so good :)

Cruise and Catch-up!

Here is a long slideshow starting with Thanksgiving and going all the way through this past weekend! There are lots of cruise pictures and the captions pretty much say it all! Enjoy :)
After the slideshow there's a little video of Jonah showing off a new trick.

Fall Fun

Time flies when you're crazy busy... so here I am finally updating the blog after 2 months!
So, Jonah turned 2 on September 18th and by the end of the month he was very into throwing tantrums... hmmm... coincidence? Not sure. We are loving him to pieces all the time, but especially when he is not having a fit!! He has been talking up a storm, and his mispronunciations are hysterical and so cute. Pinecorn = pinecone; Where Daddy are? = Where is Daddy?; Aminals = animals... you get the idea. Life for me is super busy between working full time and all of these classes I'm taking at school. Never a second to breathe! Daniel is really enjoying his business and is working so hard! Enjoy the slideshows - there are 2 as the second one is a bunch of our favorites from a photo shoot we did with Kelley, a friend of Andrew and Leah's. If you live near here and want some awesome pictures (like this one above) - she is so reasonable and was GREAT with Jonah.
In the first slideshow, you'll see a few pics from Jonah's 2nd birthday, a trip to the zoo (we can't get enough!), a fall fun-day at Nick's Garden Center, the circus, 2 awesome concerts, and Halloween - starting with "Monster Mash" at my school where Jonah loved being around all of the big kids, then the annual scavenger hunt that D' and Amy create even better each year, and Jonah's first time trick-or-treating! Enjoy!

So Much Going On!

First let me apologize for the annoying ad on the bottom of the slideshow. Just "x" it out and I will try my best to figure out how to do slideshows another way for the next one!
There has been a lot going on here - and I haven't posted anything in 2 months... perhaps a record.
So to sum it all up, here are a bunch of our favorite pictures from our favorite activities. We enjoyed a few concerts at Red Rocks: Rob visited for String Cheese and we had a great time both nights other than the flat tire on the way to the first show! There was a lot of talk of Triple A and strategizing before Rob and Daniel stepped up to the plate and changed it themselves!
The very next weekend Alyssa came to visit and we went to see Michael Franti at Red Rocks - an awesome show - but the night before we went to dinner and Alyssa took a bite of my meal which unknowingly had peanuts in it! One trip to the ER later and all was good... whew!
Our next visitors were my parents and we got to do a few fun things around town among the house repairs my dad was helping with. Busy 10 days with my parents and their dog Angel in the house! Gus didn't tolerate another dog here very well, and he had surgery to remove a small tumor which made him a bit more grumpy than usual. He is fine now! Stitches out and back to himself.
Now Daniel's parents are visiting and we were able to get to Steamboat for a few days while they watched Jonah. Soooooo nice! The ride up there is gorgeous and we had a blast just relaxing by the pool at our hotel and going out for dinners. We took a hike by Fish Creek Falls and had so much fun climbing on all of the rocks leading up to the waterfall. It was a great way to spend the day. Navigating some spots were tricky but we managed with the help of a nice stranger!
Now Ken and Jayme are here as well and we had a really nice Rosh Hashana dinner last night with all of the cousins. Below the slideshow, check out a quick video of Jonah's dance moves. He cracks us up!
More to come soon -- birthday countdown: 8 days!
