Anna Claire is Mary Bratton's sweet friend from school.
AC and her mommy, sisters and brother came over to spend the day on Monday and AC spent the night on Monday night and I took them to school on monday. The had so much fun. Here are 'the twins' - they wanted to be dressed alike and wanted their hair done like. I packed them juice and snacks just alike and they thought they were really just like twins. They were so cute!!!

Easter bunny came!! Our Easter bunny is VERY messy.... he jumps so high that he leaves jelly beans everywhere. All over the front porch... through the foyer and all through the back door.


























Beau loved the lolly pop that was in his Easter basket!



















Beau would not get out the chair to put down his lolly pop and chocolate milk to even come look at his Easter basket.

We went to Yogi Bear Park today to spend the day with the Seagos and the Burchfields.
They were camping out and we went to tag along. I was very impressed with Yogi Bear/ Jellystone Park - and we had the best time with our friends. I wish I had gotten more pictures of everyone there! I didn't get a single picture of Toby Burchfield ( Master camper)



















I cherish good pictures of me and Tal. We don't ever seem to have any since we are always chasing a kid!!
Happy that we got some good pictures of us together. Love my Tal!!!!!!!!!!!!




















David and 'the girl in the pink shirt ' - that is what they called her when she won a prize in the egg decorating contest and she forgot to put her name on the eggs.....

















Roasting marshmellows... making smores!

Yogi Bear Park had a water park. i told Mary Bratton that she would be freezing when she got out and she didn't care.
All of the kids went and had so much fun. And the WERE FREEZING WHEN THEY GOT OUT!

This place was GREAT!
They had activities all day long!
here are all the kids... ( and Jeremy Jackson) watchging Charlie Brown's Easter at the outdoor theater.

Mary Bratton and Bryant Seago

Beau has got the moves......

Beau loves Mary Grace! he spotted her....


















goes in for 'the pat' ( I personally love a good pat) - doesn't every girl..... Totally kidding... Tal does the pat...
we have a huge inside joke about 'the pat'..... and he has already trained Beau to do ' the pat'


















The Pat must have not worked so good ... so he goes in for the side tilt/hug.

eggs

We had an Easter Egg Hunt and then an hour later they had an Easter Decorating contest.
They had activities all day long! The kids loved it!
Mary Bratton got FIRST place in the Easter egg hunting and won a prize!
Mary Grace got 3rd place for the girls and Bryant got 2nd place for the boys!

I love to witness Mary Bratton's creativity.
She got a bowl out by herselft and started filling it with water.
Then she brought in ROCKS from outside. Then she brought it small little flowers ( that were really weeds - but precious little girls see them as flowers) - at this point .....I'm thinking..... what a mess!!
Then she picks some of our blooming azaleas and said that she calls it 'GARDEN IN A BOWL'

How beautiful.... I told her we would use it as our centerpiece for Easter!

Mary Bratton has been planning all day for her FAIR.
so when we got home we all bought tickets and entered the FAIR in Mary Bratton's room.

























She said we all had to wear costumes and she had places set up in her room with different stations with different costumes to pick out.


















It cost 5 cents each to get into the Fair. She said that she wanted to save the money to go see the REAL SLEEPING BEAUTY IN FLORIDA! UGGGH... tug at the heart.... we HAVE to plan for a Disney trip.



















Here is the tiara station in the fair!



























and the baton twirling for entertainment

We went to the Jazz and Java Cafe in Madison tonight to hear
Shane and Frazier! Shane Foshee Hobgood and Frasier Riddell.

Suzanne Greer Guild told me about it this morning and we met them there! So glad we did!
They play alot of Thursday nights! so much fun!

Mary Bratton and Beau loved it!






















They take requests and Mary Bratton had a request and they played it!
so sweet!
They also played 'My Girl" for her a little earlier.
She was dancing and loving it the whole time!


















Beau LOVES music and was so good just listening most of the time!
