Softball season is here!

Sick and wrong Aaron David Cothran!

Aaron got hit in the calf by a softball off the bat. How does he always end up with these impressive injuries. The bruise just kept spreading and spreading too. It finally looks better. I guess it's safe to blog now. The doctor said that it was spreading well. Whatever that means!

Snow at the end of March???

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...... this has been the longest winter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will the snow ever end? The kids sure had fun with their hopefully last big snowfall.

Baby MAC the MAN

Finally a nice day! Let's play in the dirt and be a grubby bear. I love dirt, I love dirt, I love dirt!

Alana and Marrick are so funny together. She chases him and roars at him. He loves it and stomps his feet really fast and then runs. They look so much alike they could be twins.

Marrick and cousin Emme. Marrick is 6 months older! But not much bigger!

Alana's first loose tooth!

This is Alana's before picture. You can't tell, but she has a very loose tooth!

It was bedtime and daddy didn't want Alana going to bed with such a loose tooth, so he told her he would give her a dollar if he could pull it out with pliers! (I know... I know....)

This is after! She got her dollar! She ended up yanking her own head back and daddy never had to pull! She was so excited, she told mom, I have to call Grama Annie. She told Grama Annie that she HAD TO COME SEE RIGHT NOW! Grama, in jammies and all, came over to see the famous lost tooth. Mom told her that if she put her tooth in a cup of water by the window, the tooth fairy will put coins in there. Dad said that was a silly idea and that the tooth fairy puts a dollar under your pillow. You can guess which one she did! 2 dollars richer!!!
