Cousins

It was our niece Zoee's 1st Birthday.

 

She was so cute with Grayson and sharing all her toys.

Grandma Carla with all her grand kids. (that live in Virginia anyways)

 

Goof ball Braxton!

 

Brax loves to play house

Zoee got a kitchen for her birthday and Braxton couldn't have been more excited!

 

He loves to play house so he and Zoee were cookin up a storm.

 

It was so cute watching them play together. I know it won't last long though so I'm happy I got some pictures of it.

 

Everyone was dancing.

 

My little "girl"

So this is what our little girl would look like if we had one. I put Zoee's headband on Grayson!

 

He is so funny. Every time I pull out the camera he gets the biggest smile on his face, I love it!

Grayson

Grayson was playing in the living room the other day and rolled right under the couch.

 

Trying to get the chair.

 

Today was the first time he ate a rice cracker and he loved it!

 

 

Love him!!!

 

Halloween Time

We finally decorated for Halloween! The boys love to help with it and it turned out cute. We get so many compliments on it but that could be that it's the only decorated house on our block.

 

We need a better skeleton but this one will do for now.

 

 

 

I decided to make sugar cookies and use royal icing. I tell you what it is way hard to do and soooo time consuming! The kids love them so I guess it was worth it.

 

A sneak peek of Grayson's Halloween costume!

 

Grayson Overload

Grayson is now almost 8 months old. He is growing up so fast. He weighs 18lbs and is starting to talk, well....more like babble. I love it!


 

He can sit up now.

 

 

 

He is rolling everywhere and he can get up on all fours now. Crawling time is not far away. I had to go and buy some gates and baby proofing stuff.

 

Best buddies!

 

 

Hospital

I found a lump on the back of Grayson's head one day. I took him to the Dr. to see what it was and they didn't know so they sent me to the hospital to get an x ray and ultrasound done. They determined that it is a cyst and if we wanted to we could have surgery to remove it. We decided that since it doesn't bother him at all that we will wait. Over the past couple of weeks it has gone down and is now about the size of a pea.

 

Happy baby waiting for the Dr.

 

 

He love's his Daddy.

 

Just a pic of him in his cute little dino hat!

 

Boys Fun Run

The boys had a fun run to raise money for their school. They had to run up to 35 laps (equivalent to about 2 miles) and they would earn $1 a lap from a donor.

 

Braxton ran the whole time and ran 30 laps, he did such a good job!

 

I was the most surprised with Carmine because he ran over 35 laps and never stopped! This is the same kid that has to take a break walking up our hill to the bus stop! He was amazing!

 

Carmine in action.

 

They would mark the back of their shirts with every lap they did to keep track.

 

Anthony's Big Catch!

Anthony went fishing at the Occoquan River one morning and caught this 25 lb. catfish!  The picture he took was so dark that this is the best lighting we could enhance on it.

Way to go babe!!

 

Fishing

There is a lake by our house so we took the boys there to go fishing.

 

 

Grayson trying to catch a big one!
