Takin' Care of Business

Mom and Tanner came down to visit today. Mom had to go to UVU to get Kyle registered to start school in the fall. Kyle comes home July 15th!! I'm so excited. It's gonna be great having him live down here too, we'll get to see him all the time.

At UVU campus Lincoln had a blast. I figured since Tanner was around to chase after him that he was ok to walk instead of riding in the stroller. Tanner also had fun with my camera and took a couple pics. I like the one above because it looks like Linc is ready to take care of business.

Gramma and Linc both wore their Texas shirts today...how cute. After we got Kyle registered we went to Costco and spent way too much money (as per usual) and then Mom bought lunch and we took it home to eat it. When Linc and Ivan were down for their naps, Mom taught be how to make hooded bath towels. I'm making some for Sydni's baby Luke who should be coming any day now. We got the towels all cut out and pinned together, all I had to do was sew the hood part to the towel part and I was done. My mom had to go, but I figured it couldn't be that hard.

Well...in all I broke five needles. After breaking the first three, I had to wait until Aaron got home so we could run to Wal-Mart and get some more. After dinner and putting Lincoln to bed, Aaron was holding Ivan so I could sew, and I broke two more needles with no progress on the towels. I hadn't even made it an inch yet. Ivan was being fussy, and Aaron asked if I would take him because his back was starting to hurt. I told him I would if he finished sewing the towels. I was pretty much joking just because I was frustrated, but Aaron sat right down and finished the towels in about 5 minutes. He didn't break one needle, and he's never sewn anything before this in his life. On a machine anyways. I give up! :)

Oh, and this is my lovely sewing machine that I inherited from my great grandmother. It is, no lie, about 50 years old and weighs about twice that many pounds. It only sews a straight stitch. It's awesome. Some day I'll get a new one. But today this is what it's gotta be.
