So Crafty!!!

I have been super busy with making hair clips and tutus that I haven't had time for anything else. Now you maybe wondering why am I making all of these... well it becuase I am selling them. I will be up on campus in two weeks at a flea market selling everything I have made. I have had so much fun making them and I am excited to see if they will sell. While they are fun to make my house is covered in hot glue gun and I am sure James just loves having pink bows and flowers laying all around the house.


This the purple and white tutu. I am selling these for $10-15


Theses are just a few clips. I have done about 60 of them. I am going to sell them for $2 or 3 for $5.

So with me luck on my little project becuase I am sure going to need it. hehe

Valentines Day!

I just want to say Happy Valentines Day. I know this maybe late but you can deal.

Well this is James and mine first Valentines Day as a married couple and it was so good I have no idea how they are going to get better. When I woke up Saturday morning and looked at my clock there was a dozen red roses. He had gotten up at 5 in the morning and set up my flowers and gift. He was so sneaky I didn't even hear him get up. He had ordered the flowers and they came while I was setting up for the ward party Friday night so he hid them in water-heater closet. Oh so very sneaky. We exchanged gifts. I made him open mine first because I was pretty excited about the hoodie I got him. Then it was my turn. He got me a way cute shirt and some chocolate which we all know that I love. Well inside my card was a poem that he had written and it didnt make sense at first because well I am a little slow. hehe. It said "Walmart was all out of Wiis so you just get me." So yes that is right I got a wii for Valentines day oh what a spoiler I have.

Fun with friends

So yes we have made friends and yes it did take a long time but we do enjoy hanging out with them. James and I like to bowl even though I am not so good we thought it would be fun to go with friends. So all in all we did. Here are the pictures.I am pretty sure he got a strike off that one.Baby James sleeping. Best Bowler of the night.George got pretty much the highest score. That could be a lie I am just not to sure.I am pretty sure Steph won.Brad getting ready to tear it up.Amy's first time bowling since baby James came. She did super goodThe Worst bowler of the night and proud of it.

It's been awhile

So since I am not the best blogger it takes me time to get things to work. I even tried to add more then two pictures and it didn't go over very well so I had to start all over. I need to take like a class in blogging but I am pretty sure they don't have those. So you will all have to bare with me as i figure this out.

We went to a super bowl party at our friends house Steph and George and had so much fun. We ate way more then we should but all in all had a wonderful time.




A very sad thing happened last month and that would be that James' grandpa passed away. We have had the joy of getting to know him better over the past year. They have invited us down every week for dinner and to help them with anything that they needed. We have learned things about gardening, Dancing with the Stars, and so many more. We are so grateful that we got to spend that time with him.

At the funeral James got to play Taps. He did a wonderful job and Grandpa would have been so proud. It was such a nice funeral.

The New Do!

James has been growing out his hair for sometime and keeping it nice and trimmed for school. Since he cant let it go past his collar or his ears he gets it trimmed every month. Well today was the day he got it all cut off. I must say he looks very dashing with his new do. So here are the before and after pictures!
I also got my haircut but since I am not to daring it was just a trim and she shortened up my bangs for me. I know, I know I just can't get rid of my long hair I just love it so much and I am pretty sure there would be an uproar. Ok maybe not an uproar but I know a few people would be sad.

My sisters

This is just a quick shout-out to my sisters whether you are by blood or by marriage you guys truly are my best friends. I always know that I can turn to you and know that no matter what comes out of my mouth you will love me no matter what. I know that I am far away and can't do lunches or play with you but I think of you all everyday. I am so excited for the day when we can all go to Target together and do lunches and not be missing anyone. We may all be on different pages when it comes to our lives but when we are together we all seem to get along no matter what.

So I just want to say Thank You for always being there for me and being my sisters.

Welcome to the life of The Jackson 2!

So I have thought blogging for sometime and since school was canceled today I didn't have to work so here I am blogging away. I am not sure how exciting our little life will be to many of you but we are loving just having the two of us to worry about.

I work for the school district by yelling at kids in after-school. All jokes aside I love my job. When that little kid runs up to you and wants you on their team it makes things better. I am all done with school which is super nice but now I have to be an adult. He is doing really good and excited to be in school and is loving his classes. He was a business major but I talked him into trying out communication classes and he has really enjoyed them.

The whole school district that I work in was canceled today because of extreme cold weather. It has to be -19 for them to cancel and when James left for class this morning it was -25. I am not going to lie sitting at home and getting paid for it is super nice.
