Saturday Morning

We took the boys to a park and while we were waiting for the train Carmine was playing with his sun glasses.

He sees Anthony and I wearing our glasses on our head and so then he did it. He is so funny!

Brax and Mommy on the train. He actually liked the train ride this time and didn't cry. Come to think of it, I don't think he cried this whole outing, that's a record!

Golfing

Carmine did very well, he even got it in the hole...with his club..

......or his hand, what ever works.

Braxton got to use a club just his size. (I couldn't tell if it was a golf club or a hockey stick)

Anthony teaching Carmine how to putt.

More Golfing

After the train ride we took the boys to play miniature golf.

At the end of the game the last hole took your ball. Braxton went over there and looked down it and at first he didn't want to put his ball in. After everyone put their ball in the hole Braxton decided to put his in. He was so confused as to where his ball went.

He was saying "Where it go" "All gone" It was so funny.

Ice Cream

After nap time and dinner we decided to end the fun day with a little ice cream and music. So we took the boys to Fairfax Corner and went to Ben & Jerry's to get ice cream. Carmine finished his ice cream so fast.....

So then he decide he would help out Braxton with his.

He scooped up a nice big piece and put it in his cup. I guess he loves ice cream!

We had an extra fun weekend, I love to do stuff like this with the boys. It gets funner the older they get because they can actually do more things. I love my boys!!!!

Ending the night

After ice cream the boys got little boxes for popcorn and we sat and listened to a band play music. This is Braxtons first time eating popcorn and he really liked it, I think he ate the whole box.

Carmine loved the popcorn.

As you can see he is shoving his mouth full.

St. George & Park City

Anthony's friend Cade was getting married, so all the guys met up in St. George for a bachelor party weekend. Here is a picture with all "Da Bros".

The day before Anthony left we found out all his friends got a hotel up at Park City. They all convinced Anthony to stay for one more night. My mom watched the boys and Anthony and I had our 1st night alone in 3 years. (well longer than 6 hours)It was well over due! We had so much fun hanging out with friends,eating,shopping and playing games. We miss them!!

Anthony and me at the pizza place on Main St.

Hello BUM

So I have been potty training Carmine for the past 2 weeks. He has done an amazing job so far! We have only had 1 little accident. So I think it's safe to say that he has the "pee pee" thing down. We are still working on the "poo poo". If anyone has any suggestions I am open to them.

So It's a good thing I started potty training when I did because if I had waiting any longer I think I would have had to get Carmine some Depends!! The diaper only covers half of his bum as you can see, and their a size 6! He is a big Boy.

Park

We were at a park and a tree had this vine hanging from it. Carmine was trying to figure out where it came from.

Carmine riding a branch like a horse. Then he discovered that if he jumps, the branch goes up and down. That kept him busy for a while.

The Box

I had been waiting for a craft that I did in Utah that I wasn't able to fit in my suitcase.

It finally came!

Carmine was having a good old time playing in the box.

When I went to Utah, my Mom, sister and I had a craft day. It was so much fun! I made a lot of stuff. We got everything from the Wood Connection, you could go broke in that store there are so many cute things to make.

I made this sign for the boy's room.

This one is not my favorite. It says Sutera Family on it, but you can't see the Family part because of the flash.

I like how this one turned out. It says Live,Laugh,Love.

How we made everything is... we painted the board then sanded the edges and stained where we sanded (to give it that old look) then put either the metal sayings on or the sticker words on. It kind of takes a long time, but it is so fun.

This one was fun, and I love the way it turned out.

I bought wooden letters and traced them onto scrap booking paper, then glued the paper on and put mod pog over it to give it the glossy look. Then after it was dry I put magnets on the back. I just bought fun cars and boats and put magnets on them too. The boys love to play with it. I originally wanted to do the alphabet, but the store didn't have all the letters for it. Oh well.

More Crafts

If you can't read what it says it's "I am A child of God"

Finger Painting

Here are the boys finger painting. They love to paint and color.

Carmine loves to mix all the colors together to see what color it makes.

Airplane ride to Utah

Anthony, me and the boys went to Utah for a little vacation, and to see everyone. The flight was about 4 1/2 hours so I brought plenty for the boys to do while we were flying, or so I thought!

They were very excited to fly in the airplane. They kept pointing and saying "hairplane, hairplane".

Carmine on the "hairplane" telling me "no", if you can't tell.

So the whole ride there they were crying and wanting to walk around and go see daddy. I don't think they were quiet the whole plane ride. I was relived when we finally landed.

When it was time to come home my step sister Morganne flew back with me to help with the boys, because Anthony went home a week earlier. I was remembering what I went through last time and I thought; I will give them benadryl, in hopes that it will make them tired! Do you think it worked? NOT AT ALL!!!! They were even worse then before, I know it made them tired but they refused to sleep. As the plane was finally landing, (I know Morganne and I both were so relieved to get off), both boys fell asleep the second we landed. AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Anyways we are home now and doing a lot better.

I was in Utah for 3 weeks so this is why I have a huge blog this month.

4th of July

We went to the Bountiful 4th of July parade because my sister Rachel was cheering in it.

Carmine and Braxton with Aunti Jennifer.

Of course Braxton is crying!

Carmine and Braxton with Grandpa Buhler, and he's crying again!!!!

Carmine with his cousin Caden.

They were both running out to get the candy they were throwing.

Braxton watching the parade.

Can you believe it, he's not crying!!!

I know this picture is kind of blurry, but I had to show you what Carmine was doing. Throughout the whole firework show he had his hand up over his mouth. I don't know if it was the smell or if he was scared that caused him to do that, but I thought it was funny.
Braxton waiting for the fireworks to start.

Then once they did he fell asleep half way through them.

Cabin fun!

We went up to the cabin for my Dads birthday.

My sister Keesha took Carmine to put his feet in the river......

.... As you can see he didn't like it. I think it was too cold for him.

He loved to throw the rocks into the water though.

Here is me with my Grandma and Grandpa Buhler.

I love them!

All my sisters, oldest to youngest - Keesha,Jennifer,Crystal,Dustie,me, and Rachel.

Aren't we cute, but it sucks because I used to be the skinny one of the family,
and now I'm the FATTEST! Damn!
