March-isms

Just some March-isms since I've gotten behind lately. We had mom, dad and auntie Rachael Cothran at our house for the first part of March. Then I caught some cute shots of the 2 littlest Cothrans (the first of them together) "Save me!"

oh thank you ammon.
Are you my brother?

My Nana that spoiled me by holding and loving me :)

Love you pop pop. He was such a trooper. I would just hand him Halle every once in awhile. He seemed not to mind. Love you man!

OK Auntie Kim, you are so sweet for giving me the cutest jammies! Love 'em!
(notice it says, "my Auntie loves me")

Halle and Auntie Rachael sure had a sweet, amazing bond. Rachael has an amazing way with kids. We think she is our Super auntie. But Halle just loved her and would coo and smile at her all the time! By the way, don't you just LOVE this shot!
So, Rachael found this awesome toy for Halle. It is like a glow-worm. It is a sea horse with a tummy that lights up and plays classical music. I LOVE it! I went and bought one for Mac since he isn't the easiest to put to bed. He now stays in bed sooo much better. It is like a flashlight, stuffed animal and CD player in one. (fisher price, ocean wonders, soothe and glow sea horse)

Oh my Nana LOVES me!

10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!

How does it happen? 10 years flies by faster than my 7th grade year in junior high. Life just seems to go at a quicker pace when there is school, jobs and children involved and the focus of life shifts away from yourself.

I think we have accomplished a lot in 10 years. Sure, marriage has been hard but I think that is what also makes it so awesome. We have had to push through a lot of rough times and laugh through others. We have gone on thousands of walks, hundreds of dates, snogged a million times, danced like ninnies too often, and have even had about 10 food fights.

Aaron makes me feel complete. I don't even remember life without him. It is all been blurred into this wonderful thing I like to call my life. He makes me so mad, he makes me smile, he shocks me with what he says, he helps me set goals, he makes me feel loved, he makes me laugh until I sound like Becca when she laughs and hisses, he helps me be lazy when I need it, I could go on and on but will spare you. He is my everything. Happy 10 years baby! I could not ask for more!~

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Happy green day!

2 special girls, 2 special days!

Heavenly bliss & Beautiful girls!

Alana's Baptism

"I like to look for Rainbows whenever their is rain,

and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain

I want to be the best I can, and live with God again.
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain
I want to be the best I can, and live with God again."
~When I am baptizedAlana was so excited to be baptized! She said, "I waited so long for this!" We are so proud of your choice to be baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We know you made the right decision and that you will be blessed because of your obedience.

Daddy and his special, beautiful girl.Cousin Turner was a good example to Alana and was baptized last August. Turner and his family came down from Logan to see our special girls. Thanks Ashtons! We love you!The family (silly and all)Alana with Pagah and Grama Annie Alana with Nana and PoppopAlana wanted her 2 Grandmas to speak at her baptism. It was so special to have Nana speak on Baptism and Grama Annie to speak on the Holy Ghost. Love my Auntie Rachael

Februaryisms...

I notice that I take a lot more pictures with a cute new lambie around. So, with so many cute shots non-blogged in February, I had to post some that I love. My blog really has turned into my picture journal. I don't like to leave stuff out because I do eventually want to print them into books. So beware of many pictures of the Cothrans.

This is Halle on Sunday before church sitting in her little seat:Popeye smile I find this a lot. Ammon sure loves his sister and has to be around her all the time when she is home. The other day I asked him what he wanted to eat and he asked me, "what is Lana having?" He likes to sleep in her room, do what she is doing and be where she is. They are the best of buds. And I love it!

Mom Loves this baby girl! Smiling with mamma :)

"a dance dance dance... a dance dance dance... a dance dance dance and a dance dance dance!"
Those of you who know Grama Annie, know this song :)

Smiling for Grama Annie, so sweet!

Sisters cuddling before bed

Snack before bed. Some days I just can't believe they are all mine!

Tubby time

Halle hates to be dressed or undressed. She also really does not like getting out of the tub.

Daddy is home!!! After a LONG 2 seasons of coaching Volleyball/flag football and boys/girl's Basketball and being in charge of the league he is coaching in, we finally have our dad back around. Yesterday he was actually home by 5:30! We are soooo excited! We missed you dad!
