President's Day 2012

One thing I have loved, while Brandon has worked at the VA, is the fact that he gets the same days off  from work that Hyrum does from school. On these days, our family likes to have a good time. This past President's Day in February (Feb 20) was no exception!

This President's Day was the day of coupons.

The first thing we did was go to Chuck E. Cheese with our coupons for free tokens from the back of the string cheese that we buy.  Our kids have this large jar that they get to put a puff ball in every time they listen the first time. Finally, they filled up the jar and the reward was to go to Chuck E Cheese as a family.  The kids always have a grand time at Chuck E. Cheese.  I didn't take any picture of our time there.

Next, the kids received coupons for a free round of miniature golf from their dentist.  The kids love to go golfing and we had a great time. 

 Then, we went to a place galled Gigi's Cupcakes. We were able to use our coupon to buy three cupcakes and get three free. The kids were so cute picking out what cupcake they would like to eat.  Emmy was in heaven.

We took the cupcakes to Shelby Farms to eat while enjoying the beautiful day.  The cupcakes were amazing!

 While Brandon took the boys to the restroom, I snapped this picture of Emmy as she was running around with her hair flowing in the wind and some pink on her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with excitement and a love for life.  While I watched her I was filled with this overwhelming emotion of love for my sweet Emmy.  I hope to always remember this moment of her childhood.  

 After the kids devoured their cupcakes, we went exploring in the wooded area.  Exploring in the woods is on of Brandon's and the kids favorite things to do. 

Lucy woke up while we were exploring and had a big smiles for everyone.

To end the day, we went to a yummy pizza buffet called Stevie B's.  They were having a fantastic deal on their buffet which was the perfect way for us to end our fun family day.
