Some Family Pics.

So my sister Crystal came to visit me last week and she took some pictures of us. Here are a few I stole from her blog. There will be more to come as soon as she sends me the CD. (Hint, Hint Crystal!)



Braxton looking all cute!


Carmine fell asleep on the way to take pictures so when we got there he was very cranky and did not want to smile. While we were trying to get him to smile Braxton was waiting patiently! Cutie boy!!

Carmine finally smiled, YEAH!

Here we all are after dinner. Thanks again Crystal!

Getting ready to roller skate

The boy's Grandma and I took them roller skating for their first time. Here they are getting their skates on. They were really excited at first.

Carmine waiting for Braxton to get his skates on.

We had their wheels tightened so that they could skate a little better. They did more of a walk then a roll after they were done.

1St. Time Roller Skating

Here is Carmine and Grandma roller skating together.

He kind of has it......maybe?

Look how cute he looks! He's such a big boy!

And then of course he saw all the games and he was done skating. Go figure!

I'm Roller Skating!

Here is Braxton trying to roller skate. I took him around one time and he hated it. So he ended up playing games too.

He looks like a professional!

Here is Braxton swinging on the bars.

I'm so proud!

First Time At Busch Gardens

This was their first ride at Busch Gardens.


Carmine went on a roller coaster ride with Grandma but Braxton couldn't go because he was too little. So we took pictures instead.

That was Amazing!

There is Carmine and Grandma Carla on his very first roller coaster ride. I think they had 2nd row.

He LOVED it! When he came walking down he said "that was Amazing!" He wanted to go again and again......

....and again. I went with him one time, it really was a pretty fast ride for little kids.

Us before our first ride together.

Super high

We went walking on a rope bridge that was way high in the air. Carmine loved it and had no problem walking across it.


It was SOOOOOO HOT that day. We were all so sweaty it was disgusting!

More Fun

Carmine and Braxton walking the tight rope.


Braxton crawling out of a tunnel. I love the huge smile on his face.

They had a bunch of little water parks for the kids to play in. Even though I didn't bring their swim suits, I let them run through the water a little to cool off.

Fun, Fun,Fun!

More fun rides.


If course you have to have ice cream on a hot day at a theme park. We ate so much junk food their, but it was all good.

Planes and Cars




Don't get too wet.

So like I said it was so hot that day. I took off the boys shirts and told them they could play in the water for a little bit. But don't get TOO wet. YEAH RIGHT!

I don't know what I was thinking.

As you can see they didn't listen to me. But they did have a lot of fun.

Luckily I had an extra pair of underwear and shorts for Carmine. But Braxton only had a diaper, so for about 3 hours he was running around the park in a shirt and diaper. Can you say White Trash! That's what I felt like with my kid in his diaper. Oh well, what can you do?

Sesame Street Movie

It was nearing towards the end of our trip and we decided to go to a Sesame Street movie they had playing. I had bought the boy's Elmo and Cookie Monster puppets and thought this movie would be appropriate. It was a 3D movie and was really fun, they had bubbles and shot water and air at you. The seat vibrated and made loud noises. The boy's LOVED it.

Here is my Redneck child.

Braxton was trying to do the had puppet. It was cute.

I love this picture. I don't know what he was laughing at, but It's a cute picture.

Random Pics.

Anthony and I took the boys to a puppet show a couple weeks ago and Braxton was making this face the whole time. I have never seen him do it before, it was funny.

I took the boys to their first movie at the theater (it was free!)

Anthony and I had a date night, we went to The National Harbor in Maryland. It is so pretty and fun there. We ate dinner at Rosa Mexicano, one of my favorite restaurants.

After dinner we went and got coffee and gelato for dessert. I took a picture of Anthony with his tiny tiny cup. He looks funny!
