Girls homemade Christmas ornaments!

So here are the ornaments i made. Seeings i was a little busy last Christmas i never got around to making them ornaments, but they don't know that so i made them this year and will date them 2007!! so i cheated a bit but hey i had to! All the ornaments you see you can purchase at Michaels. Sorry for the horrible pic of Janae;s first ornament, just coulnd't get a decent shot of it!

Not sure what to say!

So for the past couple of weeks since my last post i keep opening my blog and just stare at the page not sure what to say or talk about. I know crazy to think that Christy could have nothign to talk about!
Well i am excited for Christmas. today i cleaned the house and made it all pretty and John and i just put the tree up so we can decorate it tomorrow morning when the girls wake up. I made the girls their ornaments this year. i make them every year, which hasnt been many yet, but i want them to have a homemade ornanment from me each year that one day can fill their own tree.
Tomorrow is going to be a special day if it goes according to plan. I plan on making a good crepe breakfast and coffee and then decorate the tree with bells and other non choking non breakable ornanments. Janae made some of her own as well. I also hope to get around to making cinnamon apple sauce ornaments as well. If they turn out i will post the recipe. And to top of this fun day we are taking the girls swimming. Both of the girls love the pool and seeings john and i both have gym memberships at ARC it is a free event! well not free really but it;s already paid for so it feels like it is free.
I think I am pretty much done my Christmas shopping. Now only if thoes stupid flyers would stop coming to my door i might be able to stop finding such cute and affordable toys and clothes for the girls!
Well that is it for now. I don't feel like downloading pics so i will post pics tomorrow after we do our special day!

Talk to you all later

professional pictures of the girls

Update

so since my last post I had some pictures done of the girls, the whole point of this second indoor session was to get a good one of camryn for her first birthday(which is quickly approaching) and than a good one of the girls togehter..Well i got a few good ones of camryn til she was done and then there was no hope in getting the two of them together. I got some more amazing pics of janae too. I am really impressed with the pictures. I got them done by boot and bonnets and you can see her site on facebook. She is just getting into the field so her prices are really good right now if you are looking for a photographer. I will post the latest pics once i have the cd cause i don't feel like cutting and pasting right now off her site!
So I have joined the gym! ! I got a 3 month membership at ARC. I decided to try it out for three months. I didnt want to do a year because i am not sure how motivated and comitted i would be and also when it s nice out i usuaully walk outsdie so i woulnd't need it in the summer months. I have gone twice and have really enjoyed the peace and quiet in there. I plan on going as often as a can each week. Usually going once john gets home from wokr or once the kids have gone to bed. I don't really want to ask my mom to come out here during the day so i a can go to the gym and i don't want to put them in child minding at 4 bucks a child! We'll see, i would like to lose at least 20pounds and get fit. I joined a different gym after i had Janae and they weighedme and did all the body fat testing and determined that i needed to lose 23 pounds to be considered healthy. Well i weihg more now then i did when I went to the gym after Janae so 20 pounds should probably be more like 30!! we'll see. We still plan on having more children so i want to lose most of the weight i at least put on with camryn. man next baby I am staying away from filet o fish's> I know larina that is a huge sacrifice!! But it really added on the poundage as i really didn't watch what i eat. I know this sounds horrible but i was not like most moms who try to eat healthy when they are pregnant my eating habits didn't get any better, maybe worse because i ALWAY Satisfied my cravings!! I was terribly sick wiht camryn and took deklectin the whole time up until the day she was born. I regret taking them because some days when i would try ot go without i got sick when i ate "bad" food. I should have just not taken them so i would feel sick all the time, maybe then i wouldn't have put so much weight on! Anyways enough about my extra poundage. I should take a beforea dn after picture adn then when i reach my goal and look like a knock out I will post the pics(that's if it happens)hehe
So ya there you have it. i will post again when i post some pics.
