Caribbean

Here are some of the hundreds of pictures from our cruise...most of these scenic pictures are from Grand Cayman...

Jason holding a wild stingray...

Pucker up (Shelley was too afraid and was taking pictures from the boat)...

Jason and I rafting along the Chukka river in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. This was BY FAR our favorite port and this rafting/tubing trip was amazing. We drove up in the hills of Jamaica which is basically a lush rainforest. We saw tons of lush, tropical plants (including many naughty plants growing all along the banks of the river). Jason almost took a spill in this picture below and I totally flipped my tube (in front of our entire group of 11 people)...

Oops I Did it Again...*#@^%!!!!!!

I CANNOT believe this happened AGAIN....and this time it's WAAAAY worse. Once again, I hit the nanny's car today (I don't want to hear the lectures). Today her car was parked behind Jason's truck and I'm just not used to having anything parked there. Also...it's almost impossible to see her car (small Ford Focus) out my rearview mirror (large Chevy Suburban). I was backing out at an angle and .... smack. I was going really slow, but just didn't see it. We had to file an insurance claim this time...whole nine yards. I'm such an idiot!!!!

Cruise & Universal Studios

Jason and I got back last weekend from our WONDERFUL cruise to the Western Carribean. Our ports of call were Labadee (Haiti), Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Grand Caymen and Cozumel (Mexico). We cruised again on Royal Caribbean and the service, activities & food were outstanding! I have ton of photos to upload soon!

Big, big thank you to Grandma, Grandpa and Nana for taking such good care of the boys for the week. We missed them terribly, but knew they were in excellent hands!

On our way home, we had time before our flight to spend a few hours at Universal Studios. We bought the "Express Pass" which allows you to bypass the long lines and get on the rides quicker. Here is a cute photo of Jason at the Jurassic Park ride...we had so much fun!

Cupcake Madness

We went to Ryan's 30th birthday party a couple of weekends ago (Jason's cousin) and the boys had cupcakes. I love these progression photos:

Mmmm, mama hands out the cupcakes...

Ethan wasn't shy and dug right in...

Mid-cupcake feast...

Ethan looking for another cupcake...

Daddy said no more cupcakes and Ethan took it hard... :)

We had a great time at the party! Thanks to cousins Geoff and Jaime for taking such good photos!!

Best Buds...

I love these pictures from this week. We have a fair amount of fighting over toys, hitting, and biting in our household. BUT....then there are these moments...they truly love each other!
