Alicia, Kalab & Kayden went with Oliver and I

to the zoo. Oliver's first time at the zoo. He

seemed more interested in the people around him

then the animals themselves. -We should have

just set on a bench at the mall. -he he

Some photos of when Alicia and I were doing daycare together.

Alicia and I were doing child daycare in her home. Oliver was becoming a pro at walking and Oliver enjoyed playing in the playhouse in Grandma and Grandpa Z's backyard.

Rex, LeAnn and Thor came to visit the week after

we got back from the cruise.

After we got back from the cruise we were really really sick. Oliver ended up getting two double ear infections back-to-back. Poor guy! :( I cannot even remember a time when I was sick this often.

I started doing home daycare with my cousin Alicia (she ended up going back to work). - I am now doing daycare at my home. And Oliver started walking just before he was 13 months.

Yup, it doesn't look like I am getting any better at posting photos this year. Here are the last photos I will add of the cruise from January.

Hmmmm! Yup, since the beginning of this year, I have been horrible at blogging. It just hasn't been my main priority. But since I know I have friends and family that like to see how we are doing I am going to try to do better the rest of the year.

So should I finish posting the rest of our cruise in January. - Well, why not! - So the first stop was Haiti. The cruise line Royal America owns a island off of Haiti so we stopped there. Since I started to get sick that (unfortunately I was sick most of the cruise) day, I did not get off on that stop.

The second stop the next day was Jamaica, maan! :) We (All of Ethan's immediate family) rented a van and went to a park that had great waterfalls and then we got a fun, craaazy ride around some of the mountainous parts of Jamaica on a one-and-a-half lane road at what felt like a 100 miles per hour.

The ship was leaving the harbor.

For the first day we had to do an emergency life jacket test.

Oliver looked so adorable!

Oliver loved the towel animals on

our bed.
