My little farmers sure do love being at Nanny and Grandpa's. I found them in the barn helping Grandpa feed the calves when I got there after work. I had to stand outside the barn b/c I can't stand the smell. I let them run around for a little while before I wrestled them to the car. At one point Jennifer had to go in to check on Sophie and Grant b/c she could hear him teaching her how to mooo. Sure enough he had her in one of the pens. Sophie thought it was funny that the cows were licking her shirt.
They really do have fun on the farm. Even though it isn't anything I enjoy, I am really glad that they can have this experience. They will have great memories of the fun things they get to do on the farm!

ESOP Conference at Pinehurst
The conference was held at The Carolina at Pinehurst Resort |
I was awarded Employee Owner of the Year for the New South Chapter (thanks to the ESOP Communications Committee for a great nomination letter). I was very surprised to receive the award since they had told my boss, but he decided to keep it a secret! Now I am in the running for the national award and my conference registration is paid for the ESOP Conference in DC in May.
You can check out the ESOP blog I started (with Alli's design help) at www.biggesop.com if you want to find out more:)
The famous 18th hole on Pinehurst No. 2 |
No. 2 is $400 a round and you have to have a caddy...notice the white jump suits |
Just realized I didn't even get the pose right! |

Cracker Barrel Lunch
After church, we met up with Nanny and Grandpa at Cracker Barrel for lunch. We were driving and Chad and I were trying to decide where we should go and Sophie chimed in from the back to tell us she wanted Cracker Barrel. She and Grandmama pretend they are eating out and practice ordering and that is where they were pretending last. She also knew about the toys that she could play with before we got seated. It was nice to have her make a decision because we really didn't know where we would go!

Egg Hunt at "Our Kroger"
James and Amber's church, City Church, sponsored an egg hunt in (as Sophie would say) "our Kroger" parking lot. We headed over around 11am and let the kids play for about an hour and a half. There were bounce houses and the kids had fun on those. We also enjoyed free pizza from Fox's Pizza.
I don't know if I will be able to get any good pictures of the kids looking during egg hunts...I should just give up on that idea now before I waste too much time! |

Mary's Bachelorette Dinner
A friend from work was getting married so we got together for a celebration dinner on Friday night. We met up at Samurai's in Murfreesboro. It was the first time that I've eaten at this particular hibatchi restaurant and I think it might be the best in town. We had a very entertaining cook so it was a lot of fun. The party stopped after dinner for me. Chad was at dinner with his parents so he came by to pick me up on the way home. I was going out of town on Sunday night for a conference so I wanted to spend time with the family that night too.

The cook was very creative:) |

Mary Poppins at TPAC
Chad and I took Sophie to watch Mary Poppins at TPAC. I got the tickets the day after Thanksgiving when they opened up sales for that day. I got front row seats...not sure how it would be for Sophie being able to see. It was probably a little too close with the wall right in front, but it was still good. She sat in a booster seat the entire time and loved it! She had watched the movie a couple of times so she knew a few of the songs and that is her favorite part (if you were to ask her).
Amber watched Sutton for us, but it won't be long before we will have to buy four seats!
We stayed after for the "Talk Back Thursday" where they had cast members come out and answer questions (sorry Amber). It was interesting to hear the kids story and how they got the roles and what their lives are like on tour. Maybe one day Sophie will play "Jane Banks":) I think she will be our little actress.

Look what I get trying to get her to pose! Thought I would include all pictures so you could see how hard it is sometimes! |

Sophie and the Easter Bunny
I took Sophie with me to The Avenue on Sunday afternoon. She was in need of spring/summer clothes since everything from last year is too small. When we got there a bunny was outside of the toy store (and I happened to have my camera in the car) so we got a piciture.
I thought Sophie was at the age to shop with me, but I don't think we are there yet. She got bored quickly and crawled under racks and was a little whiny. May have been that she was really tired and didn't get to sleep long in the car, but not to make excuses...not making a habit of taking her when I need to get things done quickly.
