Tuesday.

I somehow got out of bed at 5:45 and went running with my group.  We ran four miles.  Thank heavens for these girls.  I could never do this alone!

I took Miles to his post-op ENT appointment.  He seems to be doing great, but for some strange reason (probably the pressure in his head) he is having major carsickness.  He can hardly handle driving anywhere.  But he loves doing the sinus rinse now.  He asked me if we could do it every day forever.  Hopefully this whole process will be a blessing in Miles's life.

After that, the little boys and I did some clothes shopping for Emma and Julia.  They have grown so much over the winter that they really didn't have much to wear anymore.  We had fun picking out some shorts and tops for them.  I can't wait to surprise Emma!

Greg and I took the boat in to get it ready for summer.  Our brand new trailer tires are cracked and needing to be replaced.  Ugh.  We came home and watched a bunch of tutorials on YouTube about how to handle a houseboat.  We've got one booked for a week this summer.  We decided to finally go this year.  I'm going to have to get over my nervousness!  Lake Powell was my favorite place on earth when I was younger.  I'm excited to show it to my kids.  I'm excited to go with Stalee's family.  We wish everyone could go, but we are going to try it out together.

Fun, Fun! (I parked it here.  It's about time I learn how to do everything!) 

We went to Emma's Track Banquet.  It was outside near the track, under the records board.  I was so proud of Emma for lettering.  We are all excited for the State Tournament this weekend at BYU.  I never dreamed when the season started that she would be competing for State.  Her team has a good shot at the Championship too.  This has been so fun!

I'm so proud of her.  She lettered!

When we got home, I showed the girls their new clothes (Owen and I also picked out a new t-shirt for each of the boys).  We oohed and aahed and had a great time looking at everything.

I love Julia's new outfit.  The girls were so happy to get their stuff.

Life just keeps moving along, getting closer to summer.  Everything is so much fun. Life is like an exciting river rafting trip.  If I can just hold on, and not drown, this is an epic experience.
