By the time he was done he was soaking wet!
The water would shoot up then come down. Carmine was looking at where the water came up and the water shot right up in his face. He loved every minute of it.
We will definitely have to go back there soon.
Of course Barxton was still dry. If I sit Carmine down to eat and there is a hat or glasses on the table, he will have to put them on and eat his whole meal wearing it.

A day at Lake Accotink

There is a lake about 20 min. away from our house. It has a park, picnic area, carousel, paddle boats, etc. So we decided to take the boys there.

This is as close of a beach that Carmine and Braxton have been to. They had so much fun, except Carmine kept throwing the sand.

Two cute boys!!

When we were there someone had their dogs playing in the water and Braxton thought that was funny.

We took Braxton on the carousel for the first time. Do you think he is scared? This was the look on his face the whole time.

Super Carmine!

Carmine always throws the pillows on the floor. I guess one day he thought it would be fun to jump off in to them.

READY.......
GO!!!!
Face plant!
And then he did it again and again. He even got Braxton doing it. I'm glad they can entertain themselves.

A day at the park

Carmine loves to go down the slide but he can never get any speed, I wonder why?

Every time he goes down he puts his foot to the side, like a break so he can slow him self down.
Braxton loves to drive. Every time we go to the park he is either driving or people watching.
I don't think he ended up going down the slide. I think he turned around and went back to the steering wheel.
Here Carmine was pushing Braxton in the swing. Braxton thought it was so funny, he was laughing so hard.

We go to this park a lot, Carmine usually just looks at this climbing wall. One day I was looking for him, and I see him climbing up it! He did a good job, now he loves to climb it every time we go there.
Braxton likes to sit on this slide and people watch.
Then he saw Carmine going up this tube so he wanted to try it. As you can see in the look on his face he was very scared, but with a little help from Mom he did it.
Carmine on the other hand loves the tube!
And he's through!!!

Carmine is such a good helper!

I was feeding Braxton and I went into the kitchen to get something, when I came back this is what I found!
Carmine and Braxton both thought it was funny, they kept laughing at each other.
Carmine actually did a very good job, I should have him feed Brax more often.

Maymont Park

When Grandma Maul was in town we took the boys to Maymont Park in Richmond.

Carmine ran to the nature center.

He is wearing Braxton's hat, isn't he cute!

Here is Braxton sitting by the fish.

When we were there it was so hot! We were walking and saw an ice cream truck, so I got Carmine and Braxton their first ice cream cone! They loved it, but Braxton wasn't quite sure what to do with it. It melted before he could finish it and was mad when I took it away because he wasn't done yet!

Here are the boys sitting on the front of the fire truck. They turned the lights on the truck, they thought that was cool.
Braxton with the fire man's hat on.
Me and Carmine sitting in the fire truck.
Fire fighter in training!!

We took the boys to the fire house. We put the fireman's boots and pants on Carmine. He was so cute in it. (sorry it is sideways)
This is were all the fireman hang their uniforms. Even though we went their for the boys, I was very interested in all the stuff too.
This is the boys standing in front on the fire truck wheel.
In the fire truck these are the head phones they were to talk to each other on the way to their destination. Carmine did not like to wear them as you can see.
Here are the boys sitting on the front of the fire truck with the fire hat on.

Here is Braxton coloring. He and Carmine both

love to color.

Grandpa Buhler came in town and stayed with us for a night. The boys had so much fun playing with him. Watching him play with them reminded me of when he played with me when I was little.
They love their Grandpa!
Here is Carmine with his bunny glasses on. He is so funny, he loved to wear them and would walk around with them on.
This is a picture of the boys during Christmas (a little late ya think!) But this is their wagon that they got from Grandma and Grandpa Sutera. Carmine loves to pull Braxton around in it.

This is the boys on Easter having an Easter egg hunt.

Nice picture of the back of their heads hu! I tried to take the pic. off but again I don't know how. Sorry!
We took the boys fishing with Grandma and Grandpa Sutera.

They didn't catch anything, but neither did we.

Here is Braxton with Grandpa Sutera.

He was just chillen eating his cheerios.

Brotherly love!!

This is Carmine and his friend Jake. They play all the time, they are best buds.

What have the Sutera boys been up to?

Anthony playing with the boy's. They love to crawl all over him, and hit him too.
Braxton was trying to feed himself.... he didn't quit get his mouth!
Carmines first time finger painting. He loved it!!
I took the boys to Frying Pan Park, it's a little farm. They had all new baby animals and fun things for the kids to play on, like this tractor.
They had such a fun time there. They kept saying all the animal sounds.

(Sorry the pictures are sideways, I don't know how to fix it.)
