So much to do - so little time. The past two weeks have flown by.
Here is our champion swimmer! Who would have thought that somebody so clumsy on their feet could be so graceful in the water.
On Saturday K had her first swim meet - and she took us all by surprise. She had her first swimming lesson (ever) 6 weeks ago and now swims against kids who have had several years of swimming.
Here is her 50 meter free style - she got a little too excited and was the last one off the diving block and forgot to keep her head down. But she did GREAT.
Happy Birthday Daddy!
Wednesday was Stephen's birthday. The kids were so excited to surprise him, but the day started out with some kinks.On Tuesday, Steve set out for a flight to Carson City, Nevada. He stopped for gas in Tonopah, Nevada (probably only known for it's 'area 51' - where almost everyone in this small town work for the government and are sworn to secrecy).
He realized that because of the extreme heat and other weather conditions, he would have to stay grounded for a while. He eventually ended up staying the night there - sleeping on a couch in the hangar.
He didn't make it home until 4pm on his Birthday. This gave the kids plenty of time to wrap his present and decorate his cake - all by them selves.
In case you can't tell - this is a Blue Angels cake
Happy 4th of July
After a small parade, we went to a city park for some games and free food. Steve still had to fly, so was not able to come with us. He did fly over the park several times though.
Cedar City lit off it's fire works right off of runway 8 at the airport - which was great for us! We invited some friends, packed up our lawn chairs and got front row seats at the tarmac.
Last, but not least, M got to spend a whole week at SUU with their coaches at a soccer camp. He learned so much and had a blast. Unfortunately - the memory card that holds his pictures is MIA - so I will have to post them later.

It's nice to see you updated your blog. :) lol Looks like it's been very active down in your neck of the woods. I really need to get my kids into swimming lessons. We keep talking about it but not doing it! Shame on us. Glad to see your enjoying yourself down there though. We were thinking about heading down that way but with gas prices right now we may not make it.
We waited 10 years on swimming lessons - shame on us too. lol
It's been a lot fun lately - always a festival going on, but I hear you on the gas prices - that's the reason we haven't gone to SLC since the move.
You guys look like you are having such a good time! Happy Birthday Steve!
