C City

We're here! Steve started school today, from 7 am - 5 pm, with almost 4 hours of that time flying. He came back a little queasy, saying that it was hard to see all the motion change around him, keep his eyes on the instruments and not get motion sick. At one point he got so caught up watching the instruments, landmarks, and making his maneuvers, that he forgot all about maintaining his air speed. His instructor nervously reminded him of this as they were dropping altitude.




Too young to fly, but she's ready for take off!





Since we are in a very new sub-division, there are many vacant lots and houses. We have very few neighbors, and have not seen any other kids on the street yet. But, they are happy to get their summer toys out.























M and K having Jeep trouble.














O is my perpetual helper, where ever I am.
She has been sick for the past 4 days with some congestion and fever. This has made her cling to me even more. Here she is feeling a little better, trying to show me what a good helper she is in the kitchen.





I got the kids signed up for swimming lessons today, which will start Monday. They are very excited for that. M gets to try out for a soccer team Wednesday - hopefully all will go well. The team is one player short for the Utah Summer Games (which are held right here in Cedar). And while we were out and about today, we visited the new Cedar City library. I was very impressed! The kids got their own library cards and were able to check out some books. There are definitely lots for us to do and see here. We have found many beautiful parks and the drive up the canyons is never far. Tomorrow we head to St. George for a much needed Costco trip.

The down side so far: ...there's only Walmart to shop from, and the radio plays only country. (I like country music - in moderation).

We wake up to beautiful morning views of the mountains. It is amazing how clear the air is. Last night we had a pretty rough rain storm. This morning when we got up, the air smelled like lavender and the fields were a moss green as the sun climbed up over the mountains.

A BIG thanks to Grandma (Price) for driving down to C City with us. With just the three of us to unload and unpack that big truck, I am amazed she was still able to drive back 2 days later. Congratulations to Danielle, who went through her graduation ceremony from SUU on Saturday. The kids were very happy to see Uncle Kyle and Aunt Danielle again so soon. Her parents treated us all to ice-cream after. Thanks!
