The White Coat Ceremony

Gramma. My mommy left today and we are so sad. She is the best. She did so much around here, helping with Sawyer's built in in his room, painting a million things, refinishing and touching up furniture, managing the kitchen, noticing leaks, unpacking and breaking down a million boxes, going to WalMart at least once a day, playing with Mr Sawyer and being my friend! We are so glad she was here and were really sad to see her go. After a Walmart trip, I'd say "Give me the receipt so we can pay you back." And she'd say "Oh no, it was all for me." She tried to pull this more than once, just not too convincing when she lives states away. Not the most fun thing in the world, taking a 17 hour car ride, helping unpack for a week, driving 3 hours to the airport and then a connecting flight home. She is such a selfless person and never complains about anything. We love her very much and can't wait for her to come back! The White Coat Ceremony. It was very cool. The class of 2012 (about 160) all received their white coats as the beginning of their journey. Each of the students walked up to the microphone and stated their name, undergrad school and major. Then they were coated by the dean. There were a couple of interesting majors, including theater! But mostly biology and sciences. A lot of masters degrees as well. Most students are from Missouri, and then Utah. Afterwards, at refreshments, a guy was looking around and said, "I heard there are a lot of mormons here."

So, caution, the following pics are just of Sawyer, just to warn you. He just looked so stinking cute, and we were on this old university with huge trees and an amazing setting, so my mom and I had to take the photo shoot. Not to mention, I don't think he has ever got so much attention, it was like a movie, every group we walked by was oohing and aaahing. PS He forgot his clubs at home.
