K has now been to two swim meets and is proudly showing off the ribbon's she has earned. At the last swim meet, her coach told her she was his 'secret weapon' because no one was expecting her. In these small town meets, all the coaches get to know who's who on each swim team - ...and here comes K, out of nowhere and leaves everyone high and dry on her backstroke.
M was able to attend a British Soccer Camp for 1 week. He loved it!And of course there was JULY 24th!! - a Pioneer Day Holiday in Utah - but most importantly - E's Birthday!!
E awoke to German Pancakes for Breakfast
Where else would a 7 year old choose to have dinner?
We had our own Olympic Games in honor of E's Birthday. We made Olympic torch invitations, filling the base of the torch (an ice-cream cone) with candy.
As the athlete's checked in, they had to choose a country to represent, then color their map.Before we could start the torch relay, however, we had to find the Olympic Torch - which had mysteriously disappeared, leaving a trail of clues behind.
After a long search, which took the kids all over the neighborhood, the final clue lead the kids to "The Throne" where they found the torch.
We could now proceed with the torch relay and other games we had planned.
After all the games, the kids all got to make their own pizza and watch a movie
Steve has started his Instrument Rating's Class. He does some class room stuff in the late afternoon, then flies in the evening when it is dark outside.
He has to wear a 'hood' over his eyes - so that all he can see are these instruments.
With the airline industry being so unstable right now, Steve is keeping all of his options open and is making friends with corporate, freight, and airline captains - ...a little networking never hurt.

Oh Wow! Very eventful. You seem to be doing very well down in Cedar City. How wonderful.
I thought it was funny that you commented about the floats down there because my friend that commented right before you said pretty much the same thing and little did you know she lives in Cedar City. :)
