Carmine caught his first fish!!!
And it was the first catch of the day! He was very proud!
After Carmine caught that first fish Braxton wanted to just play and really wanted nothing to do with fishing. Then out of nowhere he said "Mommy, I want to catch a really big fish!" So I told him ,"ok go and get a pole." So he's standing there with the fishing pole and all of the sudden he starts saying, "I caught a fish, I caught a fish! and Grandpa and I look at each other thinking ya right (because the boys had been saying they caught a fish all day and nothing was on it.) So Braxton is trying to reel it in,( it was so cute to watch) he was holding on so tight! Then Carmine took over and he was reeling backwards and the handle fell off. So Grandpa and Carmine start to walk backward dragging the fish onto the shore. Braxton had caught the fish on the belly so it was crazy that the fish didn't escape. I did get a little of it on video so I will have to figure out how to down load that sometime.
Braxton was so proud! He said, " I caught a big fish, and now we can go home!"
Hi five Grandpa!
Grandpa Sutera and the boys.
We all went to dinner that night at Texas De Brazil for Nick's birthday. Of course Nick was late so we have no pictures with him.
Mike and Carla (Anthony's Dad and step Mom)
Easter morning the boys found their Easter baskets!
Grandma and Grandpa got them these really cute Easter egg shape full of candy thing. The boys loved them!
Uncle Nick told the boys he saw the Easter Bunny outside hiding eggs and to go see if they could find him. As you can see Carmine came running out there.
They never found the Easter Bunny but they did find a lot of eggs that he left.
It was mine and Anthony's 8 year anniversary. We decided to go to Annapolis for the night while our friend watched the boys. We have only left the boys one other time overnight. So this night was well needed and deserved!
Doesn't he look happy!
Once we got there we walked around the little shops and Anthony bought me a bracelet from a cute little store. Then he said he wanted to find a hotel that he heard had some good shopping. So we go walking around a little to find it and he is acting weird so I knew he was up to something. Sure enough we walk to a spa and he opened the door. I had no idea but he had got me a facial and a pedicure, my two favorite spa treatments! He's so sweet!
So this is our hotel we stayed at. It was so cool! It was built in 1779 and is where all the politicians and dignitaries stayed at. I love how old it is, I told Anthony it's probably haunted. (We didn't see any ghost though)
The inside of our room.
The floors were so crooked, they were all leaning to one side so when you walked you were all over the place. Look how short the banister is. It came to my mid thigh. They must have been way shorter back then.
A little comparison for the banister.
A picture of the town from our window. I was just thinking how it would be to live in the 1700's.
These are some house I loved and took a picture of. They are all original homes from the 1700's
I am pretty sure that these home were built way later but I still love the look of them.
After we ate dinner we walked around some more and went to grab a coffee.
The night before I told Anthony so sleep in as long as he could because I wanted to sleep in while I could. The next morning I woke up at 6:00 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So we both got up and went to watch the sunrise. These are some pictures of Annapolis when no one and I mean no one is around.
When we were ready to eat breakfast we went back to our hotel. The restaurant we ate at hosted John Adams, Johan Jay and Benjamin Franklin as the celebrated the American victory over the British in the Revolutionary War. Just a little history for you.
I was cookin up Anthony's breakfast.
This is the state house.
This was money, I'm not sure of the dates but it is 2/3 of a dollar. Weird hu!
Two love birds.
For playgroup we went to the fire station. Here is Carmine in front of the fire truck. Braxton was scared to go in front of it.
