Jeremy graduated from BYU last week with a bachelor's in Mechanical engineering. We are so proud of him.
Here's a funny story that happened during graduation. Before commencement, Jeremy's mom and dad took us out to lunch at the Pizza Pie Cafe (which is so delicious, by the way). Emily had so much fun that she didn't want to leave. When we put her in the car, she started crying as loud as she could. She cried so loud that Miriam started crying as loud as she could. Right around when the decibel level reached about 130, Emily abruptly stopped crying. She turned to Miriam and said, "No, Baby Mee-um. I'm crying!". We burst into laughter. Emily seemed confused and kept insisting that Miriam stop crying because it was her turn.
Emily had a lot of fun hunting for Easter eggs this morning. Emily, Miriam, and Rachel looked gorgeous in their Easter dresses on this beautiful Spring day.
So, Easter Sunday was quite the memorable experience today. We enjoyed a lovely sacrament meeting where the girls behaved surprisingly well. Just when we were really starting to enjoy Sunday school, Miriam interrupted us with a noisy bowel movement. Jeremy immediately handed Miriam over to Rachel. ;) She booked it to the mother's room, tearing off Miriam's dress as she ran. The onesie was un-salvageable. The supply of wet wipes in the diaper bag and the mother's room were soon exhausted. So, Rachel wrapped a naked Miriam in the nursing cover-up and raced to the bathroom (which happens to be on the opposite side of the chapel, right next to where we were in Sunday school). She bathed her in the sink and dried her with paper towels. Then she grabbed a bunch of wet paper towels and walked back to the mother's room in order to clean up the mess she had left. Amazingly enough, the gorgeous Easter dress was left unscathed (which is lucky, 'cause Rachel forgot to pack extra clothes).
As Rachel settled into Relief Society, she thought that it couldn't get any worse. Unexpectedly, one of the sisters from nursery brings in the Emily-Meister.Yes, she also had messed her diaper, which she hasn't done at church in months. Rachel gathered up the girls and the diaper bag, when much to her relief, a sister offered to hold Miriam. Whew! That's about when Rachel remembered that she had absolutely no more wet wipes, so she went to the bathroom to see if she could manage with paper towels and water...again. Luckily another friend of Emily's was in the bathroom with his mom for the same reason, and yes, she was prepared with a healthy stock of wet wipes.
So, moral of the story is, moms, don't ever underestimate your children's potential.

Crazy story! I can relate.
Seeing you with spring tree blossoms behind you reminds me of some of our Easter photos as roommates we took outside. My favorite one was inside when we made our own "lipstick" with Robin eggs (whopper candies with colored shells).
So cute that Emily wasn't too sad to stop and let her sister know it was supposed to be a one women show! Cute girls, love the Easter dresses.
Oh what an experience. That is so funny...after it's done. I love their dresses. Where did you get them. SO cute. I also loved the story about the crying. Congratulations Jeremy!
We got the dresses at Kohl's. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop. :) And I have to be honest: I was laughing at myself the whole time I was dealing with the messy diapers. It was great! ;)
