ear flaps

i know...enough hats already but these hats were so cute i just had to share, and jayners is just such a cute little model. i made these with bobbles and ear flaps:) take a look...

The Missouri mud flap...Kuntucky waterfall...The ape drape.... and the Achy-Breaky-Big Mistakey: all names for the MULLET

The mullet has long held a place in my heart. i think it started with uncle jesse in full house.now i don't go out looking for mullets, but they do seem to find me. While i was in arizona on vacation, i was minding my own business, spending time with my husband when this little boy caught my eye. he was staring at me! i saw that he had a full blown mullet. i wondered what mother would do this to a poor defenseless child. Later this boy came up to me! i know... weird. i had on my "i love mullets" sweatshirt, and he wanted to know where i got it (i had it made FYI). So he posed for a picture with me, and told me his life story. turns out he wanted the mullet, and loves it.... the hairstyle was his choice! he goes by "mullet boy" like his hair gives him super powers, i don't know maybe he's some kind of samson. All i know is it a nasty haircut.... and here in southern idaho it is quite popular.Here are some other mullet pics and descriptions...
Animull-
This is the most fierce and dangerous mullet species alive. Do NOT hunt one if you are a beginner, or even a casual mullet hunter...Leave these to us professionals. Like a shark, this is one ferocious predator. Many have weapons, and are looking for any reason to use them. (Fortunately, they tend to only end up hurting themselves.) Physical Predatory Traits to Look for: -Cigarette frozen in the mouth (especially when not lit) -Cut out sleeve/neck shirt exposing faded military tattoos. -Handlebar mustache (a slight variation to the mullestache) -Holding an empty water bottle and leaning against something, creating an intimidating stance. -Ronnie Milsap sunglasses, and attitude Hand musculature has morphed into a strong claw-like grip over many years of evmullution due to habitual cigarette smoking while holding various plastic bottles (see above). -- Note: This right handed specimen appears agitated as the middle digit is slightly flexed, or in a "flipping the bird" position. This usually is a precursor to heavy aggression and blatant cruelty to all animals, big and small.

Wedding Mullet Every now and then, the mullet is invited to a wedding. This is definitely the time he lets it all flow...no ponytails to conceal the mullet on one of these special days. It's a rare opportunity where he can legitimately "Party like its 1999", and he takes full advantage of it! Though the wedding mullet is a fairly harmless creature, he is almost always OBNOXIOUS. You'll find him telling really bad jokes, which are immediately followed by a deep belly laugh. (The kind that overpower the traces of all the phony laughs from others who aren't really listening anyway)

one looooong trip

So For Christmas Darick, Jayne and I went to Arizona. it was super fun, but such a long drive. We spent the night with my brother jamie in utah on our way down. When we were in Arizona we stayed with Darick's sister anna. She's really cool and has such a cute little family (5 girls). On Christmas we got up at like 7:30ish and jayne was so tired she kinda just layed there, then she got going with the presents. she just wasn't ready to be awake. We also got to see my oldest brother Warren. Then we went to the mesa temple to look at the lights and stuff. here are a couple pictures from our adventure.

When we were driving back up to Idaho we stopped in utah for a couple of days to stay with Jamie, and my sister kim. We spent New years with them and it was so fun, we played games, and hung out. When we were leaving kim's kids all hugged me, it was really cute.

No... i haven't dropped off the face of the planet

I've been pretty busy the past couple of weeks doing a whole ton of random things including some hats...here is just a fewI also made some wooden dollies with some clothes for my preschool class (which is now over, i'm so glad.... love kids, just had several problems with my teacher, he was crazy) So i made 3 girls and 3 boys. they turned out cute.

last of all i have been making stockings for us for Christmas. I did a fairy tale theme with a little christmas twist

here is Darick's... a dragon with a santa hat

Mine... Rapunzel with Santa climbing her hair

Jayne's... Rumpelstiltskin..spinning some christmas lights instead og gold

I also helped my sister courtney make hers... here are a couple of them

Santa Gifts

I was helping Santa make Jayners some stuff for her stocking. I made some flowers that clip into a headband-they are interchangeable, my niece Alexis was nice enough to model one of them for me. Jayne tried on one of the bows (don't worry she was so distracted with her saucer she didn't even notice it)
Here are some of the others
i also made her some bling- these are her pretties for her wrist

what's been happenin' in the life of Jayne...

Well, a ton of stuff has developed in Jayne's life... here are just a few. She now eats veggies everyday, and she has tried fruit, but doesn't really like them yet, she makes the funniest faces, and her eyes water every time i give them to her. She also is quite the escape artist, i'm thinking of sending her to the circus:)

She also loves chillin' with dad

Nativities

I went and saw some nativity sets tonight. they were so amazing. i took lots of pictures. Here are a few.

they were great and i have decided i want to start collecting them. they are so pretty, and just looking at them reminds me of how much the savior has done fore me.
