Independence Weekend

Que Sorte! (for you non spanish/portuguese speakers that's what luck) I have to include both because I'm never too sure which one I'm saying. Anyway, with the 4th being on Friday and I just happened to get the 5th off, Cheri and I found ourselves in an unusual spot. A three day weekend and nowhere pressing to go. After carefully considering our options we decided to give Aunt Linda and Uncle Dick a call. I thought there was a good chance they would be busy with their own family. But they WEREN'T!!!

It was so nice to be down in Tucson. We hadn't seen them since the BYU vs UofA game almost two years ago. I had seen Aunt Linda at the store once. But that was it. Aunt Linda was up to her usual, going all out for every meal. We felt like we didn't stop eating the whole time. Because when we weren't officially eating we were playing games and you know what that means, snacks!

Keara and Taryn took to them like a Grandma and Grandpa pretty quick and Linda and Dick returned the favor. I think they missed having very tiny/young grandchildren around. Keara got to go swimming again, which she has been doing a lot lately, while Uncle Dick and I enjoyed his relatively new HDTV.

We went to a ward barbeque for the 4th and then a rainstorm rolled through so we decided our time would be better spent playing games at home rather then finding out if any fireworks would be going off. So, no fireworks this year, but we really didn't mind. Thank you Aunt Linda and Uncle Dick for the great time!

Real quick. Taryn has become quite the crawler, sort of. She has been trying so hard to do it for the last two weeks that she gets so mad. The last couple days she had a little break thru and is starting to use her knees now instead of trying to stand up on her toes.

However, she finds it extremely difficult to do when her big sister wants a ride.
