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.

Family Pictures 2008

So this morning we spent an hour or so taking family pictures at Gardner park. It wasnt raining but it sure was wet! We got some great shots and i am excited i have a picture to hand out to everyone. Camryn wasn't very happy, we got a good family one and a few wiht her and john and then shewas just done. I am going to the photographers house on friday to get more pics done of just the girls. Her are some of the pics we took today.

Trick or Treat?

So as halloween approached Janae noticed all the digusting scary displays and decorations at different stores. Most of them scared her and she would continue talking about them once we got home. I didn't know how to explain Halloweeen to her as I dont' believe in it and all the ghosts,witches and that crap. So when she would point out halloween stuff at stores I woudl say oh that is just silly halloween junk. Janae now tells everyone that halloween is junk. We were able to not connect the scary halloween stuff to the trick or treating or dressing up together. Halloween junk is all the scary stuff and everything else is fun fall stuff. We did do some trick or treating at our local mall which i was really turned off by. One it was way to busy and secondly we recieved over 10 pieces of peanut butter or peanut chocolates. Janae and john are allergic to peanuts and I was shocked that they would be handing out peanut stuff with all the allergies out there, so I complained but they said it was up to the manager of each store. LAME. We didn't last long there and then went to our church for our fall harvest festival. THere was lots of different games, candy apples, cotton candy ext. Janae had fun eating cotton candy, she cried all the way home cause she didn't get her face painted. But here's the thing we were in the line up to do that but she just gets shy and then doesn't want it and athen she was all excited about the cotton candy that she didnt' care. It's funny cuase Janae is a chatter box and she talks and talks and talks but you have to give her a good half an hour to warm up! Camryn was super tired all evening as she ahd a short nap this afternoon adn is fighting a cold. She wasn't too bad though so we were able to enjoy ourselves.
We got family photos of Johnm's family done last weekend and we got the back I will post the possible christmas card. Tommorow we are trying to get a family pic of just the four of us we'll seehow that goes. Trying to do the christmas card thing this year. WEll i should go off to bed, i will download the


pics first though. hope you all had a great night trick or treating!

so dumb

So I decided i would try and pick one template and stick with it and so I tried again. This time i got a complete white page and you couldn't see anything, i clicked on here erased there and wala I got the original template i had switched to a couple of weeks ago with the proper back drop color. don't knwo what happened and where the info came from but that is why its different, i will not touch it again!!

Jack O' Lanterns and Family

So tonight i invited my sister Sonja and her family over (Dan, Brooke, Devyn and Marshall) and my mom and sister in law jackie as well as John and Hilary(john's sister) and their girl Nicole for a evening of pumpkin carving and dinner. I love to entertain and just don't do it enough. With kids it is kind of hard to do it as you never know what kind of day you will have so i don't like to plan things in advance in case it isn't a good day. But i did plan this event last night and was very excited about it. The girls woke up at 6am which kind of threw the day off a bit for me cause when Camryn wakes up before 7:30 she has to have a nap in the morning so that means we have to be at home all morning. Anyways i jsut took janae out ot do the grocery shopping and get last minute items for tonight. When I got back we all packed up and went to the brand new Abbotsford Recreational Center for it's kick off. There was free hotdogs, cotton candy, popcorn. sushi, sandwiches snacks and this massive cupcake cake! It was soooo crowded in there you really had a hard time moving especially with your stroller and people are seriously rude and inconciderate. Anyways after we had a look we came home for nap time and to prepare the house for the fam. Everyone arrived around 4 and we carved pumpkins. I made a very fancy dinner of farmer sausage on a bun and hotdogs!(I usaully do a bigger spread and little fancier then that but with the pumpkin carving at the dinner table it was too much to do that!) I also made a cake that I decorated to look like a pumpkin, silly me didnt take any pics but i know my sister did so i will have to steal that pic from her. The kids all played nicely together and the evening went by really fast with no problems and i think every one enjoyed themselves! So that was my very busy saturday. Tomorrow is another very busy day. we have the usually church in the morning adn then at 12 we are meeting for family pics. we are hoping camryn wont' want to go for a nap til 1?!! Sundays are the worst day for routines so you never know what time would be a good time. And then for dinner we are going ot my sister inlaws for my niece Nicoles 15th birthday party. So a lot again tomorrow. So there you have my weekend in a nut shell. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend as well.
