J Rae Bows

Ok so i decided one day to try and make some bows in case i have a girl. well i kinda went crazy and made a TON of them...so I decided to try and sell them and see if people like them.  So far i have put them in my dad's hardware store out in Raymond and i think we have sold a few...i havent counted yet! so here are a few samples that i made, of some of the different sizes and whatnot.  I am probably going to make a facebook group with the available ones and if you are in need of a certain color just let me know!  

This size come two at a time cause they are small and cute for pigtails
A cute flower for a headband or just in the hair.
This is a larger bow that would look good on a headband or in an older girls hair.
            Here is an example of the headbands.
And just another cute flower.

Well i guess it is time that i added some more pictures. i am obviously not very good at this whole blogging thing. i just dont really want to write. makes sense as i have always avoided writing in a journal this is sort of the same thing. but anyways as you can see i am now 6 months along and looking ginormous!  tina was nice enough to take some pictures for me and tried to make me look less fat. i thought she did a splendid job! 

It has been so much fun to feel the baby move and kick all the time. its weird how you can love someone you have never even met.  i cant wait until i get to meet it and know if it is a girl or boy! we just got back from a trip to chicago this weekend and i wish i would have known what i was having. But since we dont i just bought a TON of clothes for each! ha ha we had to buy another suitcase to bring it all home!  It was my dream vacation i just shopped all day long!  and even better i got to shop for baby clothes (which i have always loved) but for MY baby! so much fun!!  

BABY TIME!!

Well it has surely been a while since i have updated this blog. updating facebook is just alot easier!  well about a month ago i discovered to my excitement that i am pregnant YAY!! i am super excited!! i have been waiting for a baby for a long time now...and its finally my turn!! Well we found out when i was 8 weeks along, and the only reason i decided to take a test was the night before the smell of leftover chinese food made me gag for like 15 minutes!  so i thought i should probably take one! so i did the next morning, i was SO surprised and shocked...i wouldnt believe it. So i went out and bought two more tests and got three positive results before i finally got excited! Regan was ecstatic and wanted to tell everyone right away. but i swore him to secrecy until i was ready!  

We told everyone about a week later it was so much fun! We were at the holt's first, i got a frame that said grankids on the bottom and put pictures of all the grandkids in it, and in one space just put a peice of paper that said "twinkle" cause the baby is just a twinkle and that is how they have talked about babies before. So i THOUGHT they would get it right away...well after a few minutes Suz caught on and then everyone figured it out! lot of love and hugs it was a great moment! Regan was just beaming, i should've taken a picture i dont think i have ever seen him smile that big!!  Then we headed over to the heggies and i gave my parents the Mercer Mayer books, "grandma and me" and "Grandpa and me" they also didnt get it, but i had made a little fake dvd that i gave to tina and they finally caught on, there was alot of screaming everyone was so excited!! it was so much fun to tell them all and to feel everyone's love and support!  Well the baby is due September 28th and i am three months along right now! i am finally starting to feel better and it is GREAT!!

 

Little baby belly!

Boy or Girl? that is the question..

Three months!

This is what i gave to tina, its a knockoff of Juno, we had just gone to see it. i was bored one day and thought it would be funny!! 

So i finally took some pictures of my new house! i was kind of waiting until it was clean enough...but i realized it might never get clean enough. So here they are!!

these are BY FAR my favorite part!!

BABY VAN AT CHRISTMAS!! SO CUTE!
well i have finally given in and joined the blogging world.  I was thinking I would start one maybe when we had kids..but who knows when that could be, so i better stop procastinating!  

So to update everyone to now, we just moved into our new house on the west side of lethbridge.  It was supposed to be finished in the middle of November....but the date proceeded to be  "next week" for a couple months. We finally were able to move on the 28th. of december. I wasnt too happy to move on my birthday but we really had no choice. My family made it better by bringing me TWO cakes....one of which melted :( but it was nice nonetheless! And my sister in law made clam chowder for the moving crew, and knowing how much i detest seafood, went out of her way to bring me a cheeseburger with a candle on top!!  everyone was a lot of help and it is great to be in the new house! i would post a picture of it but it is still a big mess, but maybe later!

The day after we moved we headed down to Whitefish with my family for a few days. We stayed in a condo with everyone and were happy that everyone could come....but missed lanny.  So last year i tried skiing which was a disaster, and snowboarding nearly kills me since i am so out of shape! so this year me and my mom decided to try snowblading! it was REALLY fun.  The guy who rented them to us made fun of us alot but it was 100 times easier than skiing! it was like skating down the hill!  We had tons of fun..played lots of games, went swimming and ATE non-stop!  Derick, Pam and Van came down after a couple days and it was SO much fun having a baby around! he is getting so big and so freaking cute! 

So that is what we have been up to lately. Since we have been back i have been trying to organize the house..but it is a HUGE disaster!  hopefully i can get it under control soon!
