Here are pictures from a recent Sunday afternoon when Eric took the girls to the river near our house. They love any excuse to get muddy and/or wet!

Predators Game with Grandma and Papaw

Eric's parents came to visit a couple of weekends ago. Eric got 4 tickets to the Predators game. So he took his parents and Lyla. He had 2 tickets for another game the next week so Grace was fine with missing it. They enjoyed the game and Lyla took the pictures of the game.

The next Thursday Eric took Grace to the Predators game. He said she wanted to get herself on the jumbotron so Eric showed her where the camera man was. She made a sign and jumped around until she finally got his attention. He pointed to her and motioned that she would be next. Sure enough, at the next break he pointed his camera at Grace! She had her pretty little face on that big screen in front of the fans! She was very excited!

Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday was the annual Harpeth Hills Easter Egg Hunt at the Ezells house. This is our last year for the egg hunt. It's for the preschool kids of the church. So, Lyla was our ticket in this year. Next Easter Lyla won't be a preschooler so we won't be "invited". The girls will definitely miss it. Their home is amazing. They have a huge play area with a little girls play house, a 2 story play house, swings, a pirate ship with sandbox, a trampoline and a beautifully landscaped yard. After the egg hunt lunch is provided which is always yummy. We had really good weather too. It was a very nice morning.

Eggs

We met at Joni's house for Easter egg dying. Last year I only gave the girls 1 dozen eggs to decorate and they were done in no time flat and wanted to do more. So this year they got 2 1/2 dozen eggs! It seems like a lot but it was just right. They worked very hard to make them beautiful. They tried different ways to dunk them and hold them and give them more than one color. After they were all done they ran upstairs to start playing with their eggs. They were sorting and pretending big stories with their eggs. Then it happened. Grace came down the stairs and lost control of her basket. Her eggs went rolling down half of the staircase. Even though the stairs are carpeted, they were pretty much crunched completely. She cried so hard. I told her I would buy more eggs and we could do more. She didn't want to though. She cried for quite a while but when she was done she never said anything else about them. I was surprised. They didn't really play with them anymore though.

Chef's Academy

One of the little girls moms from Lyla's preschool class planned a cooking class at Chef's Academy for some girls in her class and at their church. The girls were taught how to make pizza dough from scratch. They each got to help measure the ingredients. Then they were each given a piece of the dough to kneed and shape for their own personal pizza. While the pizza was cooking they had activities for them like learning to set a table and measuring. It was very cute. The girls enjoyed it. All of the moms wanted a pizza of their own too. The girls didn't really share!

This is Lyla and me at Target after the cooking lesson. Lyla took the picture of me. She likes to use my big camera.
