We Got The Runs

    How do you like the title of this post? The title of this post happens to be the name of our upcoming kickball team! My sister Sydney and I put together a team including us (our husbands of course) our friends Dayne and Elizabeth, Jenica and Tyler, and my little sis Chels and one of her friends. We practiced a week ago last Saturday at a park. Some players were surprisingly really good (I'm talking about no fear Elizabeth!) and some of us were not so good... Yes, I'm talking about myself. No joke, I used to be very brave and fearless and competitive, which I still am competitive, I just don't have the skills to back it up anymore! What happened? Somewhere in between right before I had a baby and now I've become a whimp. I was scared to catch the kickballs! I've also become significantly slower at running around the bases. I was sincerely disappointed in myself during our practice and hopefully by next practice I'll toughen up! Our kickball tournament isn't until the end of July, so I have some time.
   Last Saturday my family went boating for the first time this year at Utah Lake. What. A. Blast!! Marc frequently asks me, "What would you be doing right now if you could do anything in the world?" My response will ALWAYS be, tubing at Lake Powell. Since Lake Powell is 5 1/2 hours away tubing at Utah Lake is almost the next best thing. I love tubing and I love tubing with my family. We always end up screaming like children and saying weird random things. Cannon enjoyed the boat and even went swimming in the cold water with Marc. He looked so funny with his squished cheeks in his life jacket and he hardly moved while he had it on... for some reason we think that he thought he couldn't move. For example, we put a cheeto in his hand and he wouldn't reach up to put it in his mouth (although he was perfectly able). He was great on the boat which made me excited because hopefully that means he'll be good when we go to Lake Powell next month. I absolutely can't wait to go to Powell. Last year was the first year, probably my whole life, that I didn't go to Powell. I didn't go because Cannon was born one week later! We're renting a houseboat this year, so that will be awesome.
   After boating Sydney had us over at her house to celebrate her 21st birthday and have a BBQ. We also played volleyball with Casey's family and had a blast. I may have scared a few of them with my vocal competitiveness and once I accidentally kicked the volleyball and it went way high up in the air and over the neighbors fence.... whoops! We had so much fun on Saturday, by that night Me, Marc and Cannon were exhausted! And on top of that during the week I took Cannon to Seven Peaks, went swimming with the kids I nanny, went on a walk to the park, did lots and lots of shopping and had a busy week. Most days I feel like I need a nap, but have way too many things to do instead!

Told you his face was squished!

Right after Cannon's first haircut... I took a before and after pic and you can't even tell the difference!
