Our Valentine's Day...

Our Valentine's day started out by making heart-shaped eggs and pancakes which Brady and I enjoyed very much by ourselves because Chris was still in Twin Falls working. We weren't planning on having Chris come home for the weekend in order to save some money on gas but at the last minute on Friday night I called him and told him that I missed him and wanted him to come home! So although he missed our breakfast we still had the rest of the night together. Chris also suprised me with a rose and some chocolates...I failed to take a pic in all of the hustle and bustle!!!

In the evening since we were busy packing and everything in the kitchen was already packed we had decided to just get a pizza and hang out as a family...however, right before Chris left to get the pizza we saw a show called "Man Vs. Food" where the guy was eating a humongous hamburger. That got Chris' "beefy" side turning and he wanted a burger!
-
So we went to his favorite "burger joint" FUDDRUCKER'S.
Usually he gets the 1 lb. burger but this time he settled for a half pound. I was more than full with a 1/3 lb. burger myself!
-
Fuddrucker's is a neat place because they have all of the toppings a la carte so you can pick and choose what you'd like from the traditional lettuce, pickles, tomatoes to hot peppers, and fresh salsa. They also have cheese and jalapeno cheese sauces for your fries and rings. There are other sauces too: mayo, mustard, BBQ, hot sauces etc...

I usually make myself a salad to go along with my burger!
-
The atmosphere is also really fun. Here's some of the fun decor:



Gas station gumball machine!!!

They have an arcade and Brady had a blast pretending to play the racing games...yeah, I'm too cheap to fork over a couple quarters...

Here's what was left of our meal...such a romantic night out!!!



Olivia really enjoyed her dinner too!
She ordered the infant's special
"Toe-Jam Salad!!! with a side of slobber!!!"





Our little Cowboy Brady had a fun time too although he hardly touched his meal! Oh well, at least it was free (when you buy an adult's combo meal) and it made a great lunch for Chris the next day!!!
-
Yes, Brady did wear a complete Cowboy outfit to the restaurant! he had just gotten it earlier in the afternoon for his birthdy from Grammie and Grandpa Morgan and he was all decked out. When we were going to get the pizza Brady had asked Chris if he could go with him. Chris didn't want to take Brady dressed up like that but I convinced him it wasn't a big deal and that all little kids like to play dress-up and that people would think he was cute!
-
Well, since we made such a hasty decision to go out to eat we just threw Brady in the car "as is!" When we got to Fuddrucker's there was actually a "REAL COWBOY" standing outside of the lobby in the parking lot (we ARE in IDAHO!!!) Brady got a kick out of it and so did the other guy! We heard him say to his friends: "Hey, did you guys see that little cowboy dude?!"
-


Anyhow, it was a fun night even if it wasn't "ROMANTIC!!!" It was just nice to be together as a family again!!
