At Mariah's Game


Mariah has been on a great softball team for a while. They win most of their games, and every so often we come to watch her play. She's a good softball player! I especially like to watch her be the catcher. That's not an easy job. The girls are all good buddies, and when they win the coach buys them slushies. It seems to be a good motivator. They won this game. None of the girls knew the final score, but they were happily sipping their slushies. Tawny and I were so distracted from the game by the antics of our other little guys that we had no idea who was winning. We just cheered for Mariah. 

Mitchell is so expressive with his cute little face. He is starting to talk more too!

He likes to have his picture taken and then look at the picture on the digital camera screen.
It will be fun to see him as a big brother. 

Aubree and Annalisa were not their best selves this night. 
They fought and cried constantly. There was no way to make them both happy.
Anna gleefully withheld everything that Aubree wanted. And Aubree wanted everything that Anna had. 
 I wish they would stop doing this. 
Sometimes they are so cute together. Last night they had a rare sleepover and they rejoiced together when we gave them the okay. At 10:00 at night I checked on the girls. Anna was grumpy and only wanted to go snuggle with Adam. (her usual spot) So I sent her away and suggested that Aubree sleep in Annalisa's bed in Maren's room. Maren was still awake. Aubree loved that idea. She giggled and said, "I can't believe I'm having this fun sleepover!!"
What a cutie.

I love how you see smiling and happy Tawny in the sunglasses in response to Aubree's attitude. 
She is so good. 



Mariah the Catcher




The Big Coat Dilemma
The jackets and coats were the source of most of the contention. 
Who would have thought...
 
Mariah playing 2nd base


Anna the Stinker (at least this night)

At the very end, Aubree got the coat she had been coveting. (my coat)


Sweet Victory
