Jonah fun and some Girl Time!

As he gets older, Jonah is just more and more fun! We went for a few classes at Gymboree last month, and he just loved it there! Jonah played memory for the first time and that was a big hit, too. I read in a magazine at one point to pick up some paint swatches at Home Depot to play this easy game. What a great (and free) idea!
I included a couple of pictures from my kindergarten classes' Authors' Tea... we invited the parents in to hear the kids sing a few songs and share their writing. Always a big day at school! A big treat in Jonah's life recently was going to see Sesame Street Live with Kathy, Leah, Andrew, Zoe and Quinn. All the kids had a blast!
Straight from there I drove up to the mountains to meet my friends in Breckenridge for a girls' weekend. What a relaxing, amazing couple of days!
Next blog to come will be Jonah and Daniel's trip to NJ. I've been home alone since last Tuesday.... I can't wait for them to come back on Wednesday afternoon!

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!
