Our fun night!

It was a Friday night and we decided to have a FUN night with the boys. First off it was swimming!

Braxton in the elevator going down to the pool. I love this picture in his goggles. (the funny thing is that he loves to wear them.)

Laying out before we get in the pool.

This picture is random, but I had to put it in because Brax built this castle all by himself and he was very proud of it. I was too!

Not from your Dad!

Carmine loves to swim and is getting good at it. (but who wouldn't be able to swim with all the flotation devices he has on!)

He is kicking and paddling, so that's good. I am pretty sure he can swim better then Anthony now. Ha Ha! (that sounds mean, but I am really not joking!)

Not sure......

Me and my boys!

Braxton likes the water but he is still not sure about letting go of my hand and swimming by himself.

I was trying to let go, but as you can see he's holding on for dear life!

We love to swim!

3D Movie

Nothing like movie night with popcorn or "crocrorn" as Braxton says it and a 3D movie. The boys didn't really care for the glasses but they liked the movie. I rented Coroline, and it was cute at first then I think it was getting a little too scary for them to watch, so I turned it off. Carmine was not happy with me because he wanted to keep watching it. Oh well! We all did have a fun family night and can't wait to do it again!

YUMMY!

Dogs or cats?

Carmine and Daddy fell asleep together on the couch. I think it is so sweet.

One day Carmine and Braxton were pretending to be cats or dogs (I'm not sure which one) Anyways they were crawling around on all fours and making a whining noise. They came in the kitchen by me so I asked the puppy's if they were hungry and needed some dog food. They said yes, in their puppy like voices. So I got bowls and filled them with Kix and put it on the floor for the "puppies". They thought it was neat to eat on the floor.

The spray park

We went to a spray park with my ward playgroup. The boys had so much fun.

Bike ride

We took the boys on a bike ride last Saturday around a friends neighborhood. They love to ride their bikes.

Carmine and Daddy.

Carmine didn't like going down the hill on his bike, so he got off and walked it down the hill. At one point he got going so fast and was trying to keep up with it and then tripped over the bike and fell. Not to worry, he got back up and said; "I'm ok Mommy, I'm ok" He's so funny!

Homemade bread!

So I finally decided to find my inner "Mormon" baking side. I made homemade bread for the first time! It was really easy and I think it turned out good. Even Anthony liked it, and all of you who know Anthony and how hard he is to please with food. That should tell you how good it is.

Doesn't it look yummy? I was very proud of myself.

Waiting for Blueberries

First off I will apologize for having so many post this time, but we had so much fun this weekend and took a lot of pictures. Hope you enjoy!

This past weekend we went to visit our friends in Maryland. We all met up this place called Butlers Orchard and picked fresh blueberries. Carmine and Braxton were so excited.

Here he is waiting to fill up our buckets with blueberries. Barxton LOVES blueberries!!

On our way to the Blueberries

We had to take a tractor ride to the blueberry patches.

I love these two pictures of Braxton because you can just see in his face how excited he is.

And he is off to pick his berries!

Picking Blueberries

The blueberries were so fun to pick. They were soooo yummy and they were just so pretty.

Braxton and Carmine picking berries.

YUMMY

Braxton would pick some berries then take a brake and eat all the ones he picked. He must have eaten a pound by himself.

More......

And More!!

This picture is of some of the blueberry bushes. They will assign you a certain amount of bushes to pick depending on how many people you have. Anthony started to pick in some other ladies bush and she yelled at him and said "this is my bush!" People are very protective of their bushes I guess.

More berries

Look at all those yummy blueberries! We all picked a total of 15 pounds. We probabley ate half of that over the weekend.

Braxton's new girlfriend

This in Neelah Braxton's new girlfriend. She was feeding him blueberries and I was able to get a picture of it. So cute!

Of course Braxton is eating more blueberries. (Ok so while I was blogging Braxton was being very quiet so I went to check on him and I busted him eating a banana, then discovered 3 more banana peels sitting on the counter. He ate 4 bananas!!!! 4 all by himself, he is gonna be backed up for a while.) Moving on.....

Anyways, time for some family pictures.

Eric, Heather, Neelah, Savvy, and Finn Watson. Thanks for having us over for the weekend, we had so much fun!

Dumb and Dumber

Ok so while we were there we spotted a huge hornets nest. So they guys got this "great Idea" to knock it down. So they brainstorm for a while and come up with this "Great Idea". Yeah right!

Really though just looking at this picture need I say more?

So after what happened with the stick last time we were down here , Heather and I knew to have cameras ready. Heather was trying to take video of it but when the bees started to come out she went running and it stopped.

So their "Great idea" was that they will put the cooler under the hive and Anthony will pull it off with the hoe and Eric with close the top before the bees come out, Right? WRONG!! So as you can see in the video , before it cuts out, they go to do it and the lid falls and spooks the bees. The bees come flying out and Anthony goes running off (and almost runs into a tree) and he ended up getting stung in the ear! They are so dumb!!!! After all that they got smart and went and bought bee killer and sprayed in there and killed all of them and got the beehive down. Nice work boys!

Fun Slide

At the orchard they had slides with potato sacks to slide down on. They were so much fun!

Braxton was scared at first but after we went down the first time he loved it and was mad when we stopped.
