Valentines Day

I had the best Valentines Day ever! Anthony cooked me an awesome dinner and then for dessert....

..... a box of chocolates and a kindle inside. He totally surprised me! He's the best!

Grandpa comes to visit!

My Dad came to town for a convention and stayed the night with us before it started. It was so good to see him.

The boys were so excited to see him.

Just like the good old days.

Grandpa always makes it so much fun. Braxton was soooo sad when he left. He was totally crying saying, "It's not fair, I don't want Grandpa to leave." Break my heart! Come back soon Grandpa!

Mount Vernon

We all went to Mt. Vernon for the first time. It was so cold that day.

Me, my Dad, Braxton and Carmine in front of George Washington's house.

D.I.Y.

When we bought this house it had a very nice "Dorthy" bathroom in the basement. I guess this picture really doesn't look that bad, but it was not a cute bathroom by any means.

So one day Anthony and I decided we wanted to redo it our self. I think we were watching HGTV and they were demoing a room so we got the bug and went to work.

A couple of weeks later.....

.....Tada! We had to do a new ceiling, tile, paint, trim, toilet, vanity and mirror. Not bad for our first time. Now on to the next bathrooms. (When we get more money :)

Random Pics

The boys sledding for the first time this year. We only got a couple on inches of snow but it was enough to close all the schools and for my boys to go sledding.

For the boy's birthday we got them this Power Wheel. Anthony and I put it together ourselves. We are true mechanics!

Carmine and Braxton "Opening" their presant.

They were so excited!

More pics.

The boys in their jammies on Christmas Eve.

Riding their power wheel in the back yard.

They loved it. Now if only the weather would warm up so they can ride it again.

Carmine lost his first tooth

Carmine lost his first tooth. I was down stairs and all of a sudden Braxton calls out, "Mommy, Carmine's tooth fell out". I came running up stairs and he was in a little shock, he held his hand out with his tooth in it. He said he was drinking out of his cup and it fell out. He must have hit it on the cup or something.

No that's not blood on his shirt. It's food, he's a messy eater.

He thought it was so cool to be missing a tooth. That day I took him to the library to get some books on the tooth fairy. Later that night after we had read some books and it was time for bed he was very hesitant to go to bed. He kept coming out of his room so I went to his room and he had tears in his eyes and said, " but I'm really going to miss my tooth", why do I have to put it under my pillow?" I think he was scared of the Tooth Fairy coming. I told him he could put his tooth somewhere else, I'm sure she will find it. So he wanted to put it under his bed. He finally feel asleep and the tooth fairy gave him 2 dollar coins. He was very excited about it until Braxton decided to put Carmine's money in his piggy bank for him.
