Well, my birthday was actually a while ago but we've been so busy that I haven't found time to blog till now. I'm finally 25! Rick rubbed it in my face for the whole 3 months that he was 25 before I had my 25th birthday :) Rick had to study most of the day but it was still a fun day!
We had just gotten back from Utah the day before my birthday so there was bags and suitcases and just stuff everywhere! All over the house! But I didn't want to have to do laundry or unpack or anything like that on my birthday... so I didn't.
Since Rick had to be at school I decided to take the kids with me to get some free birthday stuff. Bahama Bucks (an amazing sno cone place) gives you a free shave ice on your birthday. So we all shared a strawberry banana sno cone and it was delicious!!
Then we decided to drive around and get some more free birthday stuff. My visiting teacher had told me about a few other places that give free things so.... we went to those places too! After all, what else was there to do? Rick was studying so we were just hanging out until Rick got done anyway!
Next on our trip was Kneaders. They give you a free dessert on your birthday. I chose the cinnamon roll. It was sooooo tasty! I handed the kids back pieces as we drove to our next destination. They got super sticky and sugary but they sure loved it too :)
By this time it was around 4 in the afternoon. We arrived at a place called Liberty Market which gives you a dessert to-go or if you dine-in you get up to $10 of free food. So I decided that I would order dinner for the kids at this place (because later on I got my free dinner with Rick). So we ordered pizza and then sat down. Kimbri and Garrett loved the pizza! I ate the side salad that came with it and we hung out there for a little while.
Garrett cracks me up with his cute faces:
And Kimbri was enjoying her food but was being very serious about it all. Haha!
I missed getting pictures of the other places but after that I ordered to-go from Joe's Real BBQ (they also do up to $10 on your b-day but you can get it to-go, so that's nice). I picked up the food, which I was really getting for Rick because by this time is was almost 5 and Rick was about to get home from school. We picked him up on our way to Joes' Farm Grill where we also got some free birthday food to-go. I got their amazing pesto chicken sandwich with extra pesto. Ah! I love that sandwich so much!!! It is seriously the best chicken pesto sandwich out there.
We took our to-go food home and since the kids had already eaten pizza they played in the living room while Rick and I ate our free food. Woot Woot! We basically ate free food all day long!
Then as we were finishing dinner Jessica texted Rick and offered to babysit so we could go out on a date. That was so nice of her! Since we had not planned on going out we were kind of at a loss of what to do. So we ended up just going to JcPenny to look at shoes (Rick reeeallly needs new shoes) and we just walked around with out kids, getting to hold hands and just talk. It was awesome.
On our way home we stopped at Goodwill. We like to stop there occasionally and look through their games because they always have way good deals on them and we love to play games! So it's perfect! We bought Connect Four, and the kids have loved it. They obviously don't know how to play but they sure love putting the coin type things in and watching them slide down.
I snapped a few pictures of the sun setting with these cool-looking clouds on our way home. It was a fun birthday! And now I'm one year older and hopefully wiser too ;-)
