Family Night

We decided to have a family night and play Bowling. As you probably guessed (those of you who know Carmine) He was sooo excited!

And there he goes...

And know it's Daddy's turn. He takes it very seriously. Daddy won and Carmine took second! Yes he beat me.

One day We broke out the Wii Guitar and Anthony and I were playing. Carmine went and grabbed his guitar and Braxton grabbed his piano and they started rocking out with daddy. It was so cute, I love it!

Playing store

Another fun Family night we set up a "store" for the boys and I played the clerk. We gave them buckets to put their things in. They would come up to the make believe register and I would ring them up.They loved to pay with their fake money I made them. They are so funny with it, I would tell them how much it was and they would get so shy and hand me the money.

After a while Braxton wanted to try, so here he is in action. The fake register is the side of the kitchen and he would make a beep sound for every item he scanned.

Into the bag you go.


When they were done he would say, " Thank you and come again."

Give me your money!

Carmine is paying the Clerk. Look how patiently he is waiting.






Look at my hard earned money.

Family day in DC

We decided to go to the Natural History Museum since we live like 20 min. from DC. We are going to try to go to all the Smithsonian Museums while we live so close.

This is what Anthony got me just because he loves me. Ha, I wish! It's the Hope diamond. I forgot how many carats it is but it is HUGE!

Here are the boys near the Washington Monument.


And by the Capital Building.

More family day

They had a cute carousel in the middle of DC so I volunteered to take the boys. When I was little I never understood why my Mom didn't like to go on rides.....Now I know! I wonder if it's an age thing?


Braxton feeding me grapes.

DC trip continued

Daddy and Carmine at the fountain.







Amanda comes to visit

My friend Amanda came out for a work event and we were able to get together and meet up for lunch.

Me and Mandz. Thanks for lunch Mandz!

We were at the National Harbor and on the beach they had this sculpture that looked like King Triton coming out of the sand. It was huge and weired looking.

Look how big that hand is.

Huge hands

High Five!


I don't know if he was confused or if he thought it was cool. Braxton didn't what to get near it.
