Logan

We took a trip to Logan this week. Jeremy applied for a job at the Space Dynamics Lab. He has a cousin that works there and offered to give us a tour. Jeremy figured that it would be a good idea to take a tour so that he would have things to talk about if he got an interview. As soon as we got back from Logan, Jeremy had an email saying that the position was already filled. The trip wasn't a loss though. We did enjoy our tour and even got to see things that have been in space. It was a great tour and would like to take it again someday without a 2 year old whose attention span is 2 seconds.

We also got to see some good friends of ours. We visited with the Brumbaughs who have a very nice playground. Clara enjoyed opening and shutting the gate to the playground more than she enjoyed playing on the equipment. But she did find a blue "truck" that she loved to go up and down on.

We also got to eat lunch with the Peterson's. They treated us to an authentic Chilean restaurant. Jeremy loved being able to eat the food he loved while he was in his mission. Afterwards, the kids played on the hood of the car while we visited. Clara loved her new friends and didn't want to leave them to come home.On Saturday, we were invited over to the Emery's for the BYU basketball game. Although Clara and their son Cole fought a lot, they also became great friends. As we were getting ready to leave, they kept giving each other hugs and kisses. It was adorable.Here are some cute stories of Clara that I've been meaning to record. They didn't necessarily happen this week though.

A few weeks ago, Clara and I were out for a walk. Her hands were cold, so she said, "Mommy blow hands." I did my usual cupping my hands around hers and blowing so that her hands could warm up. After I was done, Clara announced: "Mommy blowed hands." I was impressed with her understanding of needing to make it past tense, even if she did get it wrong.

I gave Jeremy a hug and a kiss while Clara was in the room. When I had pulled away, Clara said, "Mommy loves Daddy."

As we were walking up the church steps Clara announced, "Clara wear pretty green dress and pretty white shoes." I'm so glad she has such a healthy self-esteem.
