So my parents came to visit us on their way up to pick my younger sister, Robyn, up from BYU-I. They got here on Saturday and took us out to dinner at a mexican restruant (La Cantina) that has lots of salsa and chips. We also took them over to Nielsen's Frozen Custard and opened their eyes to the amazing creamy goodness of frozen custard. During this expedition Tacy ate lots of refried beans, became enchanted by a boy playing the guitar and serenading us during during, and ate her share of frozen custard. Now we know, watch out for those singing/guitar playing boys when she is older!
Sunday was nice because I actually got to go to church! For 3 weeks I have worked every sunday and it has sucked, so it was so nice to be able to go and be able to spend the day with my family. Tacy charmed my parents and was her cute funny self for them with all her adorable laughs, giggles, and growls. After dinner we played ladder ball with Brad's heavy duty homemade set. We kept switching up pairs and found the most equal pairing was Dad and I vs. Brad and Mom. I am not a consistent player and i'm not very good, but I had a great run where I got all 3 of my balls on each of the bars (doubling my score) which was awesome! I danced but didn't get a picture of it. Dad and I managed to beat Mom and Brad twice, which is saying something because Brad is pretty consistently good. We also had a god game of Dummy Rummy and my mom was very to happy to beat us all while Dad was the beetle bomb.
Monday, while Brad went to work, Mom, Dad, Tacy, and I went to Sill's for breakfast. My family loves breakfast food so I knew my parents needed to try this place. Dad got pancakes, which were yummy, mom got french toast which is good (not as good as my Dad's though) and I got a scone! Their scones are HUGE and delicious. Dad ordered another one so we all had plenty. Tacy sampled everything. If it is bread, she loves it. After breakfast, Dad was put in charge of napping Tacy and Mom and I went and got pedicures. It was nice to relax and get a back massage from the massage chair. After our pedicures Mom and Dad wanted to get Tacy stuff for her birthday. So we went to Riverdale and they got Tacy some clothes and some fun squeezable blocks. Brad got home from work so he, Dad, and Mom went out to get fireworks (cause this was the weekend before the 24th of July) and snow cones while I stayed home with napping Tacy. Mom and Dad loves the snow cone shack down the road and Dad and Brad went crazy with fireworks. Once it was dark they set off the fireworks. Mom stood way back by the house while I stood by the cars. Some of the fireworks are really loud but they are fun to watch. Then one of the big boxes tipped over after two shots and shot one across the street at the neighbor's house and then other back to our next-door neighbor's house and another up over our house. That was scary! I really thought a fire was going to start! Mom was in the garage for that firework. Luckily no fires started. The last few big ones were not quite so terrifying. Needless to say my parents ended their quick visit with a BANG. Tacy really loved seeing them and warmed right up to them. My mom painted Tacy an adorable onsie with Boo from Monsters Inc on it, but Boo has strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes like Tacy.
Tuesday night (July 23rd) we actually went up to Brad's grandma's house who lives up on the Bountiful bench to watch Bountiful's fireworks from her house. She has a great view and we were a nice safe distance away. Tacy was a tired girl staying up so late but she loves spending all the time with her aunts and uncles. The fireworks did not scare her at all thank goodness.
Fireworks are fun, but i'm glad it is past the holiday now so people can't shoot them off anymore because it sure makes it hard for Tacy to sleep when you hear these big loud fireworks exploding behind the house. Oh well, we survived with no fires and now we just get to celebrate Tacy's birthday in one week!
