Exciting Week

Clara was able to attend a field trip to Provo's airport. It was so much fun for the kids to see all the different airplanes. They even got to see a helicopter land and an airplane take off. I still didn't have my camera back from the shop, so I'll have to put pictures up when I get them from friends to took some for me.I got my camera back the same day as Clara's field trip and I have been having so much fun taking pictures with it. I am very impressed with the service. They even updated our software for us, so the delay is MUCH faster than what it used to be. We LOVE having our camera back.

Friday we got to hang out with a few friends from the ward where Jeremy and I met. The bishop's wife graduated from UVU and they had an open house for her and invited all the old college students to come. We love that family and love getting together with them.

My brother picked up the key to his new apartment Sat morning. If you are wondering why I would care about that at all, his new apartment is in my same complex. We are going to be neighbors and I couldn't be more excited.

After my little brother got his key and VERY briefly looked inside his new apt, we drove to Twin Falls to see my niece get baptized. Clara was so excited to see Adanya's baptism and to see her cousins Jed and Hyrum. Isn't my sister's family so beautiful?We had so much fun playing with them all weekend. Clara loved all their dress up things.And we loved getting to play games. Clara also got a Strawberry Shortcake blanket while we were there, which she loves! Thanks guys. The trip was way too short as we came home Sunday after church.

When we got home, I was talking to some friends and they mentioned that Osama bin Lauden had been killed. I was shocked. We turned on the news right away to see if it was really true. Words can't describe the feelings I had as the news sunk in. I didn't think this day would ever come. I'm so grateful to so many who put their lives in danger to be able to bring justice to those families who lost loved ones 9 1/2 years ago. I'm still slightly in shock.

• Overheard as Clara was playing with a stick: I want to go to the glass slipper ball. You can't because you are a stick, not a glass slipper.

• Clara went to the temple grounds with me when I took 2 girls who are between the ages of 8 and 11. As soon as we got to the temple, Clara said, "The temple is HUGE!"

• As we were all walking around the grounds, Clara kept saying to those 2 girls, "Follow me girls!"

• When I told Clara she was cute, she said, "No I'm not, I grew up!" (Apparently only babies are cute.)
