Carmine and Braxton Sing "I'm yours"

Before you watch the video scroll down until you see a "playlist.com" box in the right column and hit the pause button so you can hear them sing.

Carmine and Braxton love the song "I'm yours" by Jason Maraz. We were in the car one day and they were really into the song and singing loud. It's so cute!

Random Pics

We bought this cage to put the boys in while we went out. They worked really well! Just kidding! I'm not that mean. We were at a friends house and they had some big dogs and the boys were having fun with the cages.

I took the boys to a playgroup and they had some guys play the drum and guitar while they sang songs. Braxton loved it! As you can see he was up in the front totally dancing to the music, it was so cute.

Pics of Braxton

So I have been potty training Braxton and I think it is safe to say that he is officially potty trained! YEAH!!!! While we were at the park the other day he even pee peed on a tree outside. I was so proud! (thank goodness I have boys for that reason alone!)

The down side to being potty trained is... I am sure you noticed in this picture and the one above that he has his hand on his pee pee. Yes, this is one bad habit that he has picked up since we begun. At first I thought it might be the cold sensation was the reason for it, but now I am beginning to think he is just a true BOY!

Just a picture of Braxton enjoying a doughnut.

Watch out Daddy!

Carmine and Daddy having a sword fight. I love the look on Carmine's face.


Carmine was playing the Wii one day (not surprising) and Anthony found Braxton like this....

At first he thought something was wrong but Braxton just fell asleep in the cushions. H e was buried even more then this before Anthony pulled him out. He must have been really tired.

More Birthday Pics.

Watch out for all those candles Anthony.

All the boys blowing out candles for their birthdays.


Carmine gets a beating.

Braxton's Birthday morning

Braxton opening his gift from Grandma Carla....

Money and lots of shirts! Thanks Grandma Carla!

A car from Great Grandma Maul. Thanks Grandma!

Treasure Chest

Anthony and I made this treasure chest for Braxton. He like the out side but when he opened it and there was nothing inside he said, "hmmm" I think it ment it's empty. He soon filled it up with snakes,toys, and shoes.

Pin the eye patch on the pirate

One of the games we played was pin the eye patch on the pirate.


They all did it and won eye patches.

Ball toss & Presents

Another game was a ball toss.

They all won swords.

Now it's present time!

Cupcakes!




Thank You!

Carmine got moon sand from Grandma Carla. Thanks Grandma!

And a cool car from Great Grandma Maul. Thanks Great Grandma!

New Years Eve

Anthony took the boys out to dinner on New Years Eve.

Anthony coloring. (wait I thought that was for kids.)


Look at that Face!

Ice cream & Birthdays

Ok so Anthony and I have come up with a strategy when taking kids out to dinner. The kids are always done eating before we are, so we just order them ice cream to eat while we finish our dinner. It's a win, win!


Here are the boys blowing out their Birthday candles.

Christmas in Richmond

The Leaning TreeGrandma and Grandpa Sutera had not set up their Xmas tree in years. After we got it out and decorated it, we soon found out the base was too small for the tree.



After a challenge was delivered by Uncle Nick, we decided to have a gingerbread house decorating contest. The first part of the challenge was figuring out how to construct these things. The excess use of frosting was the first sign of early distress!


When it was all over, there could be only one victor...(we'll say it was Braxton!)

Christmas Eve

We opened our one present on Christmas Eve, and what do you know...PJs. The best part of this gift was that they were all a little big, except for Uncle Nick's, they were very big!

Daddy explained to the boys that it is tradition to set out cookies and milk for Santa.

Christmas Day

Braxton ran down the stairs on Christmas morning to inspect the cookie plate. He was so excited to see that the cookies had been eaten.
Then, the boys started loading presents out to the other room for opening.




Here they are opening anything and everything that was gift wrapped. It didn't matter whose it was, we would sort that out later. Braxton was opening so quickly, he hadn't noticed the gift wrap was fighting back.


After presents, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Sutera's friends' house for breakfast. As you can see from this picture, the boys have completely different interests. Braxton would love to head off to the wilderness for some outdoor activity, and Carmine would love to head off to the nearest internet cafe for some web surfing.
By the way, when you want a great breakfast, head to the country!!!


After breakfast, we hung out with Grandma and Grandpa for a little while before we drove back home. The boys indulged in what could be the largest Gummy Bears in the world.
After a great stay in Richmond, we headed back home to celebrate Christmas Round 2. Afterall, Santa showed up to our house as well. The boys also opened up gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Buhler and Grandma and Grandpa Rudd.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Rudd!!!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Buhler!!!
Here's the next Daniel Boone!

The boys got a tent and sleeping bags from Santa, and have been camping out in the living room all weekend.
