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!

Family Night

We decided to have a family night and play Bowling. As you probably guessed (those of you who know Carmine) He was sooo excited!

And there he goes...

And know it's Daddy's turn. He takes it very seriously. Daddy won and Carmine took second! Yes he beat me.

One day We broke out the Wii Guitar and Anthony and I were playing. Carmine went and grabbed his guitar and Braxton grabbed his piano and they started rocking out with daddy. It was so cute, I love it!

Playing store

Another fun Family night we set up a "store" for the boys and I played the clerk. We gave them buckets to put their things in. They would come up to the make believe register and I would ring them up.They loved to pay with their fake money I made them. They are so funny with it, I would tell them how much it was and they would get so shy and hand me the money.

After a while Braxton wanted to try, so here he is in action. The fake register is the side of the kitchen and he would make a beep sound for every item he scanned.

Into the bag you go.

When they were done he would say, " Thank you and come again."

Give me your money!

Carmine is paying the Clerk. Look how patiently he is waiting.

Look at my hard earned money.

Family day in DC

We decided to go to the Natural History Museum since we live like 20 min. from DC. We are going to try to go to all the Smithsonian Museums while we live so close.

This is what Anthony got me just because he loves me. Ha, I wish! It's the Hope diamond. I forgot how many carats it is but it is HUGE!

Here are the boys near the Washington Monument.

And by the Capital Building.

More family day

They had a cute carousel in the middle of DC so I volunteered to take the boys. When I was little I never understood why my Mom didn't like to go on rides.....Now I know! I wonder if it's an age thing?

Braxton feeding me grapes.

DC trip continued

Daddy and Carmine at the fountain.

Amanda comes to visit

My friend Amanda came out for a work event and we were able to get together and meet up for lunch.

Me and Mandz. Thanks for lunch Mandz!

We were at the National Harbor and on the beach they had this sculpture that looked like King Triton coming out of the sand. It was huge and weired looking.

Look how big that hand is.

Huge hands

High Five!

I don't know if he was confused or if he thought it was cool. Braxton didn't what to get near it.

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!)

Carmine laying out before he got in the pool.

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!
