The Triciathon!!

Well the kiddos and I just got back from a whirlwind adventure at Grammy's house, Eric calls it the "Triciathon" because my mom believes in the philosophy that we need to make a concentrated amount of memories during the small amount of time we have together. Its really fun though! My step mom was once famous for saying " I want to reminisce now!" and my mom is equally famous for saying "Lets make memories now!!!"This trip was by far no exception. We walked to the neighborhood park a few times and played with Tay on the very hot toys, which she always loves and begs for every morning we are there. We also spent a day at the zoo, which despite being very hot was was very fun. We brought my cousin Shannon and her son, James with us and had such a good time. Here is a picture of Carter at the zoo, we are on our way home and I was about to take him out of his sling and put him in his carseat, anyway you don't catch smiles like that everyday on camera! My mom and I also watched a few movies and went shoe shopping at a place called "Off Broadway" or something like that - wow!! we also had a family get together and took Taylor swimming, carter wasn't really interested as the water was from a hose (brrrr!) and went up to the Denver area to have Lunch with Greg at a favorite of ours - Cinzettis, its a really nice italian buffet but its quite nice and the food is great! That is one of Eric's favorite places to eat too and he was quite bummed to have missed out on it! Anyhow one of the best parts about the trip was something I had nothing to do with. While we were gone, Eric installed canned lighting and a chandelier above the dining table - this picture doesn't do them justice (mostly because the kitchen is FILTHY!! Talk about Being a bachelor to his full extent!) but I am so proud of him! He did that for me for our anniversary. Anyway it is nice to be home and we will only be separated for a little bit, my mom is coming out to Utah to see one of my sister's plays down in Cedar City and we are planning a Thacker Family Reunion for the same weekend.

It was good to see you this week - we made it to Provo today, the long way (driving) instead of flying like you guys. Let us know if you'd like to join us at BYU or at Seven Peaks tomorrow (Saturday)
