Another great trip this summer that we did was go to Ohio for my cousin Lindy's wedding! It was so good to see all of my relatives that live in Ohio.
We chose to fly and J did great. He slept most of the plane rides but when he wasn't sleeping we kept him preoccupied with toys and crayons. The only negative thing that happened is that we got 2 flights cancelled in one day! We couldn't believe it! It was just ridiculous. We also got to go to King's Island which is an awesome amusement park in Cincinnati. Here are the pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157627534100448/show/

Trip to the Zoo

Another memorable trip that we did this summer was go to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo. J loved it! He especially loved the seals, elephants, and the fish aquarium.
Also another thing to mention is that my parents moved from Ohio to Elkhorn, NE! We love having my parents so close! It is absolutely great. Here are the rest of the pics from the zoo http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157627036288267/show/

We took J camping this summer back in May and he had such a great time. He loved being outdoors. WE rented a cabin in Yankton with some friends. It was a little too cold to go swimming at that time but we still had fun none the less. Our next camping trip is next weekend! Here are more pics from the trip http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157626783291990/show/

We are having another baby!

We are super excited to announce that we are having another baby! We found out on July 16th that we were pregnant and it was 4 days before my bday so it was a great pre bday surprise. I have had one ultrasound already when I was 7 weeks and we saw/heard the baby's heartbeat. They also said that are due date will be March 23, 2012.
We are very hopeful this time that our baby will be healthy and I have been taking 5mg of folic acid which is 20 times the normal dose to prevent anencephaly/neural tube defects. We will have an ultrasound on Sept 9th to rule out anencephaly/neural tube defects so we will keep our fingers crossed!
I have been feeling really good and I haven't had any morning sickness but have been feeling really tired. We told Jamison that there is a baby in the my belly and he yells into my tummy "Hello baby, " it is so cute. He will be a great older brother.
Right now I am 10 weeks pregnant and can't wait to find out what our next baby will be! I have a feeling that it is another boy due to my cravings. I have been wanting steak and potatoes, watermelon, pasta, pizza, and ice cream just like I was with Jamison. We will find out in October....

Jamison's 2nd Birthday Party!

I do apologize for not writing for awhile...we have been really busy this summer! Now Jamison is 2! I can't believe my baby is a toddler. Earlier this summer we changed him from a crib to a toddler bed because he was crawling out of his crib and he is doing really well with that change. He loves his new converted bed.
I took him to the doctor for his 2nd bday well child check up and he was 22.5 lbs (in the less than 3rd percentile) and 33 inches (in the 25th percentile for his age) the Dr. isn't concerned about him because he is growing along the same curve.
Some things that Jamison does as a 2 year old: he says about 100+ words, hw can say 3 words together, he lands on both of his feet when he jumps, he is getting really good at using utensils when eating, he is climbing on everything, he can go downstairs and upstairs without any difficulty, and yes he is starting to go pee pee in the potty! He goes on the potty every night before bed. I may start trying to get him to go during the day now too.

For his 2nd bday party we had an elmo theme and it was a pool party. We got Pizza Ranch and my sister Kelly made Monster cookie cupcakes! Yummy! We had about 25 people there and J got a lot of really nice toys including a trike! He had such a great time. Here are pics from the party http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157627409719359/show/

This weekend we are going camping in Yankton for Andy's 31st bday and there is nothing more than J loves than to be outside. He is so excited to go camping. We will post pics when we get them uploaded.
