This picture was taken at Great Goodwins house. All I can say is "WOW".......

JUNE is here....and so is the SUNSHINE!

My Naughty or nice boostiae cake for a bachelorette party for my sista in law

Friends BBQ at harbour park

We brought out Ella's pool for those hot days, but the next day it was deflatted and not sure why. The neighbor came by the next day and said there was a raccoon playing in the water at night. It must of felt really good for the raccoon. So new pool is on it's way:)

New tootoo we found at the thrift store....score!

She loves her finger puppets...and it always rolling on the floor.

Squishy face

Tie dye cake I made for Laurie's birthday...happy birthday mom/nanna

Laurie is always cold when we go camping. So this year we found her a camping chair that has a heated pad for your back....score again!

My sneak peek at my garden

Our game with the strainer...we wip her round on the floors while she sits in it.

Ella " are you ready"??

There's two ways of putting sand in a bucket...Ella's way and sweet Abby's way. This picture pritty much sums them up...love you babe's:)

Well we've been very busy being outside having fun in the sun. Ella has been doing everything lately.To swimming at Watermania, walking with Dad in Steveston, BBQ with family and friends, ladner water park, and all those baseball games with Mom and Dad. But were most looking forward to is....CAMPING! We have planned the annual camping with David's family in August at Lake goodwin for 4 days. Also, a few weekends away with just the three of us. But I have to say "I'm a little bit nervous this year"....Why?? Ella will be sleeping in our tent all season long, and I am "scared". So we plan to go camping next week at Hazelmere camping ground in White rock. It's close enough to home that we can spilt if we have to...but were going to give it a real good try.I already feel bad for the people around us already.(wish us luck) .

Work for me has been getting really busy with Grads Updo's and it's the season for Wedding bell's....so it's lots of fun!....Most people think there stressful but not me.It really gives me a chance to be creative! I love this time of year because everybody that comes to the shop whats change. Spring brings change to people and their always willing to try new things. I would like to encourage everybody to go try something different, you may surprise yourself. I'm only working 3 days and so far it's looking like it will work out just fine. I'm enjoying it and I feel very luck to be more at home.

I won't be able to post as many updates as the winter aloud me to do. But I will try my best to give a little something to you when I can. I wish everybody a great summer and don't forget your sunscreen!....:)

Jolene & Ella XOxo

~Prayers for Mattias~

I would like to ask everybody to think about my cousins little boy Mattias and his family on May 13th . Mattias is going in for surgery for his heart, the 3rd procedure called "Norwood". Please, if you can say a prayer for him and his family, for everything to go smoothy and for his family to be strong. Mattias is a beautiful little boy and all we want is for him to be healthy.

Thank you
