Merry Christmas

Christmas Morning!!!


Piano Man

Once Braxton opened up this Ukulele,
his Christmas wishes were fulfilled.
He refused to open any additional presents
and let his brother do the rest of the work.

Cool toolset from Grandpa Buhler.
"Thanks Grandpa, we'll work on building you a new horse stable!"

A Wii Little Kingpin

Christmas in the Capital Region

Reindeer

Grandma Rudd sent the boys these reindeer hats and nosies (as Carmine calls it) that light up when you put them on.

Merry Christmas!!!

Family Metro Ride

We were going to see the National Christmas tree by the White House. We took the Metro because it was faster. I am glad I don't have to ride it often because it made me sick! (Thanks Mom) The boys liked it though.

Braxton was saying "WOW"

National Christmas Tree

The tree was so pretty and it snowed for the first time this year. We usually don't get very much.

They did a Christmas Tree for every state. You can't really see the sign but this is the Utah tree. See the monument in the back, I think it is neat.

It was so cold that night, it was like 30 degrees. The boys were freezing, but we got a cute Christmas picture. It was worth it.

Father Son Time

When we were down at Anthony's parents house, he and his Dad went fishing.

Anthony's 10 lb. cat fish

I don't know what that one is ,But I think it's a cat fish too. Yeah he cought a fish!

Camping ??

Grandma Carla and I took the boy's to The Bass Pro Shop to get their picture taken with Santa Clause. I have never been but it was really cool. They had this huge fish tank with lost of big fish.

This is one of the thousand stuffed animals they had there. It was pretty cool!

Fun At BPS

They had a bunch of 4-wheelers and Carmine picked the pink one.

Then he decided that he was a boy and got on the red one! Thank goodness.

Here is Carmine with Santa. He didn't know what to think of him, But at least he sat there, unlike Braxton who cried the whole time.

WII

We were all playing the bowling game on the Wii. Carmine wanted to play so Grandma helped him out.

He got so excited every time the ball get close to the pins and then...

......He would watch the ball hit the pins and break out in celebration!

He would jump up and down and yell "Yeah we did it" and hi five everyone. It was so cute to watch. He is so funny. I will have you know that I am the undefeated champ of Wii bowling! Thank you! (but my arm was so sore for 2 days straight)

Braxton doing the Wii Fit

Anthony doing the Wii Fit hula hoop. It was hilarious, but he is the second best at it.

Dog Food

I left for the store and Anthony was watching the boy's and this is what I came home too. Carmine and Braxton playing in the dog food.

And when I asked Anthony why they were doing it he said he knew, but it was keeping them busy. Nice one hunny!

Gold Fish RIP

This is Fish and Orange Carmine's and Braxton's gold fish. (they named them themselves)

I brought them home one day and surprised them. They were so excited and wanted to look at them all the time.

Then 24 hours later I found one dead and then another couple hours later the other one died. It's a good thing that the boys are young and don't remember very much because the next day I think they had forgotten about them. Rest In Peace Fish and Orange!

Costumes???

So this is what we dressed our boys in for Halloween. Do you like It?

Of course this was Anthony's idea.

Pumpkin Carving

So today was pumpkin carving day! Here is the before picture.

Braxton dove right in to the pumpkin guts, Carmine wasn't so sure about it. It took some convincing.

As you can see on his face he really didn't like it.

He did like to help and separate the seeds. Braxtons attention span is not very long, as you can see.

The boys watching Daddy as he put the pumpkins outside

This is Anthony's pumpkin. Can you guess who it is? It's Blue from Blue's Clues. The boys loved it!

And this is my pumpkin.
