Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Today is the first Memorial Day since I've been married that I didn't spend the whole morning at cemeteries. Instead, we spend the day driving!

Jeremy and I headed to Rexburg this last weekend to see my little sister graduate from High School. I can't believe that Mom is now an empty-nester.The day before we were to leave though, our car started making a clicking noise. So we headed into the repair shop to see if we could make the trip. Turns out that the mechanic thinks that it's the clutch. He suggested that we NOT drive to Rexburg in our Honda. If it really is the clutch, then the clicking noise we are hearing is also putting stress on the transmission. If we drive for that long at that high of speeds with the wobbling clutch could ruin our transmission. So as we planned to take our '87 Volvo (which might not have made it there either,) some good friends of ours were informed of our dilemma. They quickly called and offered us their extra car to use for the weekend! I was stunned and grateful!

Clara had so much fun hanging out with her 4 year old cousin who took such good care of her. Clara was very scared to go across this black bridge at the play ground. So I took her hand the first time across. As Clara went to cross it again, Jed made sure to walk across with her so that she wouldn't be scared. Sooooo cute!Clara also got to meet her cousin, Kaycee. Clara LOVED getting to hold her. Clara asked to hold the baby any chance she got and was so good with her. She didn't want Kaycee to cry and would give her lots of hugs to make her feel better.Here is a picture of Clara with all her cousins eating some ice cream.
