11 months old

Ethan will turn 11 months old tomorrow. He is busy crawling all over the place, opening cupboards and constantly standing up on the furniture (or my legs for that matter). He has learned to clap his hands on his own, play "so-big", climb stairs and say da-da. However, he has no idea what da-da means yet. We are excited to say we only have one more month of formula buying!! How do you like the shirt from Auntie Lizzie...fits him to the T. "Big Guy, Big Eater"!

Noah is THE man!

I think the only one to score at Kelli and Brian's wedding was 5 year old Noah. He found his lady friend and danced a couple of dances, hid under the tables, and even gave each other a kiss at the end of the night. Needless to say they both wiped the kisses off their cheeks. Boy
germs...yuck!

Kelli and Brian's Wedding

These were taken from the wedding of my cousin Kelli. Unfortunately we were unable to get one picture of the bride and groom!

Playtime at Grandma's

Saturday morning Ethan got up bright and early to play with cousins Ian and Noah. Noah loves holding Ethan and Ethan likes pushing around 2 year old Ian on his tractor.

And the last of Jamaica

Grand Palladium Continued...

Off to Grand Palladium

Our last stop was 3 nights in Lucea at the Grand Palladium Jamaica. The pool was amazing, pool bar even better, good food and even a live rasta band. We only managed to get our snorkel gear out once during our trip due to the rough weather. However our days here were full of sun and heat! We basically spent our days laying by the pool, cooling off when needed, reading and just plain old relaxing.

Deep Sea Fishing

We ventured out again for a deep sea fishing excursion. Jesse and his friend joined us for the trip. Overall it was very successful. We caught a total of 5 mahi-mahi and Scott caught a Barracuda to add to the mix. I think I enjoyed myself more than the guys...aka hangover sucks on ocean waters.

Rick's Cafe

Scott and I did the infamous "cliff jumping" from Rick's Cafe in Negril. This was one of our favorite spots. We hung out in the pool all day and then watched the Negril sunset. Scott had so much fun I think he thought he was really jamaican. One of his new buds "Spider" made a jump from a 60 ft tree limb.

XTABI- Negril

After staying with Jesse a few days we went to Negril and stayed at Xtabi. Unfortunately due to the waves, we were not allowed to go snorkeling or swimming in the caves. The top picture is a view from our balcony. The others are from the bar/restaurant area.
