Sewing!

I really enjoy sewing. I learned from my Mom and my Grandma when I was little, and now that I finally have room (and honestly time...looking at you grad school) I am sewing again.

Over the weekend I got a frantic phone call from a friend that makes movies and videos and stuff, and they desperately needed me to fix a "small tear" in a jacket for a shoot that night. Well, that "small tear" was actually the shoulder and front pocket being almost entirely torn off.

Needless to say, I spent like 3 hours fixing it. Hey, I got paid to do it. I'll take it!

Yes, I also love to read, and need another bookcase bad.

And really, whomever put that jacket together needs some sewing lessons. Some serious sewing lessons. I called the person that assembled it some mean words in my head, and some of the cleaner ones out loud, many many times.

A lot has happened...

Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. A lot has happened in the last few weeks, most of which includes Scott and I spending most of our free time trying to finish all of the adoption paperwork. We went to our doctor last week to get our physicals done for the paperwork and I decided to make a day of it. Check it out...

I went to the eye doctor and they dilated my eyes. My left eye went back to normal really quick. My right eye took close to 8 hours to go back to normal. So I looked a little odd. Took myself to lunch and was one of those creepy people wearing my sunglasses inside.

I also graduated with my Master's of Social Work degree from BYU! Oh my gosh, so excited about it!

The hood kinda chokes you. Yay for husbands and mother's-in-law that come up with ways to attach it so it stops choking you!

Other than that we have actually been spending a lot of time with little kids. We LOVE it! We babysit this little squeeker, Alec, most Saturdays and he's so much fun.

Cheesy excitement for getting his own flowers!

He likes to run, evidenced by the blurry picture.

Alec really likes the horses across the street from our home and calls them "doh" (dog). He asks to go see them constantly. Scott is really really allergic to them, but will brave it (thank you benadryl) because Alec loves it so much.

Scott had pulled out some weeds from the garden to feed the horses. Alec won't touch them, but loves watching everyone else do it for him.

And then we spent a weekend watching our nieces Karly and Kate ("A sleepover at Kami and Scott's!"). They LOVE anything princess so we told them we could watch Sleeping Beauty (their pick) on our "big tv" before going to bed. They wanted to cuddle with Scott all night.

Can you see Kate cuddled into Scott's side by the chair?

We took them to a big park the next day. Kate is incredibly brave and went on and through everything. We kept trading off which kid we were following so we could switch off who was the most tired chasing her around. Karly likes having someone there to reassure her more, but we talked her into crawling in the hive to take a picture.

It is so sweet for me to see Scott with these kids and just get so excited for what's coming for us. He really is fantastic with all of the kids in our life, and they absolutely love him (I mean seriously, the girls cuddle and play with him all the time). So wish us luck trying to finish all this paperwork!
