National Christmas Tree

Last night we took the boys to see Santa and the National Christmas Tree. It was soooo cold last night! But well worth it. We got a classic Santa picture with Braxton crying in the picture holding on to me for dear life. It's funny! Now if I could only download the picture then you could see it. Soon to come!

The boys all bundled up; they had on thermals under their pants, 2 shirts and a coat, gloves, hat's, and blankets and they still said they were cold!

Braxton looking at Santa's workshop.

This is Obama's backyard. If you saw the front of the White House, you'd think this was the front, because the front is kind of plain looking. I always get it confused.

Oh ya, Obama told me to tell everyone "HI"

Family Pictures

When my sister Crystal was here back in October she took our family pictures. I thought I would finally post them.

I'm sure Carmine is saying something about the Wii in this picture.

I love pictures of kids holding their daddy's hand. I think it's so sweet!

Good thing Carmine's head is to big to fit through anything!

Braxton waiting patiently for Carmine to get in the mood for picture time.

MY MOM IS DOING IT AGAIN!

She is an amazing clothes designer. She had a store called Beets N' Snips a couple years ago and closed it because it was too much to handle. Lucky for you, she has started a way CUTE new line of girls skirts. Here are a few pictures but you can see more on her web site:

Tell everyone you know!

Broncos Game

The Broncos were playing the Washington Redskins so Anthony and Nick got tickets to the game. Here they are with the boys, all in their Broncos attire. (too bad it didn't help win the game)

I think they were on the 6th row, they had pretty good seats.

So this is a random picture, but a funny one that I had to share. Carmine had a runny nose that would not stop. He kept telling me, "my nose hurts, I need a band aid". I told him No several times before I realized,this might be a good idea. So I finally told him OK, and put a band aid on his nose. It was a win win, Carmine's nose stopped hurting him and I didn't have to wipe his nose for about 4 hours ,until he took it off. ( I may have to try this again next time he has a runny nose.)

BOWLING

We took the boys bowling for their first time. They were both SOOOO excited.

Here is Braxton putting on his bowling shoes. They were so little!

He looks so big in this picture!

Here they are waiting to bowl.

It's much further to the pins then it is in the Wii game.

Bowling 2

Here is Braxtons first time bowling.

wait for it, wait for it. SCORE!

Here is Carmine lining it up perfectly for that strike!

And he got it! I wish I could have gotten his full reaction on camera, it was hilarious!

Final Score

This was the final score, and yes Carmine beat us all. Anthony and I weren't trying to play nice either, we were really playing and he still beat us! I guess all those hours of bowling on the Wii is paying off in the real world.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Aren't they the cutest pirates you've ever seen!

Here they are waiting to start trick - or - treating. Don't they look excited.

Halloween Costumes

We went to our friends house to trick-or-treat in her neighborhood. The cute little lion in the middle is the little boy I babysit. They are so cute!

I went as a cow girl, Yee Haa!

Braxton was all about getting free candy. He loved it and would run to the next car for more candy.

Here they are doing a walk around for everyone to see their costumes. They had so many compliments on their costumes. My Mom made them and they look like they are straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean movie. (Thanks Grandma!)

More Halloween

There they are walking to the next house. I don't know if you can see it but the next house was very scary. The people went all out and were wearing scary masks. When the boys got closer they stopped and wouldn't go get candy and Braxton said, " Um maybe it's too scary." He is so funny.

Here they are Trick-or-Treating at their first house.

Halloween continued

Here we all are giving out candy.
