Merry Christmas

This is what the kids woke up to Christmas morning. Santa got them a table and chairs. a toy holder and lots of other stuff.
Carmine loved to open all his presents, and Braxton's too. Every time he would open a present he would say, "Oh yeah, Oh cool" it was so funny. Braxton opened up some gifts but he wasn't really into it. I don't think he is at that age were he likes to rip stuff up yet.
This was one of their favorite toy's Santa brought them. The balls shoot into the air and it plays music. One day Anthony got Carmines golf clubs and was hitting the balls as they came up. One day I saw Carmine with his clubs trying to hit the balls, it was so cute. He like to do the things his Daddy does.
The boy's have fun playing with it together.
I thought this was so cute, Anthony was putting the table chairs together and Carmine went and grabbed a chair to put together too.

We all had a great Christmas! I am just so thankful that I have my little family. It was so neat to see my boy's opening their gifts and seeing the smiles on their faces. I am so lucky!!!!!!

Happy New Year

This is Carmine on New Years Eve. We had a little get together and our friends brought him a hat and glasses to were. He didn't really like the hat but he loved the glasses. He kept saying "cool" and taking them on and off. (sorry about the sideways picture, I don't know how to change it)
Here is Carmine and our dog Kona. One day I turned the corner and they were laying down together with Carmines head on her. I ran to get the camera and this is the best picture I could get. It was cute, he loves his dog.

Chucky Cheese

.

Carmine's birthday was on Jan. 1, Braxton's and Anthony's were on the 5th. We decided to take them to Chucky Cheese for their birthdays.

Here is Carmine riding in the big truck!
He thought it was cool he could drive by himself. He also loved putting the token in the slot to make the ride go.
Carmine was running around to all the games that were his size, and Braxton was right there by his side doing whatever big brother did.
Of course we had pizza for lunch,but Carmine ate like 3 pieces and wanted more. I'm not really surprised though.
This is Carmine and his friend Jake riding in the car together. Jake and Carmine are play buddies, they are only 1 month apart.

Birthday Cake

We took the boy's to Chucky Cheese for their birthday, they loved it!

Braxton and Carmine were playing on this bus, and going down the slide.

Here is Braxton peeking out the window. He thought it was cool that he was on one side and we were on the other. Oh, the things that entertain kids.
This is all their birthday cakes. They each had their own cake and candles to blow out. Carmine was able to blow out his candles all by himself.
Then they both went to town on their cakes.

Can you tell the age difference?
I think Braxton was the best one-year-old cake eater I've ever seen. He wouldn't stop eating the frosting, I don't even know if he stopped to breath. Anyway he had fun eating his cake.

Birthday Presants

Don't mind my double chin!

Carmine got this really cute Handy Manny plush tool set, he loves it! He also got books, cars, Anthony got him a huge Tonka truck (he's been wanting to get it for him since he was born) and a tickle me Elmo to share with Braxton.
Braxton got lots of books, and musical toys. He plays with all of Carmines stuff too, as you can see in the next picture.
Braxton loves to be pushed in the; as Anthony calls it "the big ass truck"
Of course Carmine wants to get in too, so Braxton got right behind it and started to push him. He likes to do everything his big brother does.
