June

  June started off quite busy in spite of school being done with! A quick overnight visit from Grammie and Grampie Skaling

                      Lots of fun playing skip-bo!!

                      A late night  trip to Nova Scotia with Grammie and Grampie Cameron for the girls and I to pick up our new van and get a visit in with the Sante family!

              At The Sante's enjoying the sunshine....

  and not necessarily the hungry chickens!!

                   Our girls were a little nervous of the interested visitor who was used to being hand fed treats.

          10 girl cousins!! Oh the fun they have together!!

             Kaleigh and Elin our 3 year olds.

           Smore time !  We always love our together time. What a blessing family is!!

                                    Our rascal Elin, Ryan took her picture randomly one afternoon, and once she realized she had the camera's attention, she started the posing!!

                              This one makes me laugh the most. crazy girl!!

 

                                     Elle and Betsy...

Eva Is 5!!!!

  Eva has been anxiously awaiting this birthday for a few years. When she turned 4 last year she cried because she wasn't turning 5.....the reason???? Our girls get their ears pierced for their 5th birthday and she wanted those earrings badly!!! So here she is the week of her birthday in the chair waiting for that bling!! Her best friend Addison wanted to wait until Eva got her ears pierced to get her own done and so our families met at the salon and the girls got their ears pierced together.

              Ready to go!!!!

                             No tears, just happy grins!!!

                                    Back at our house we partied with pizza and brownies and icecream!!

                               oh and gifts....lots of fun gifts!!!

                 Then sparklers!!!!!

              Ryan and Darren were the fire starters!!

                                     Addi was more than a bit nervous of the sparks

                        While our girls were grabbing them as fast as they could

                       Addi found baby bunnies to be  much more her thing!!!

                                                    They consider themselves sisters...so sweet.

   Eva's birthday breakfast of choice..the morning of the big # 5!!

                              Grampie and Grammie came for the lunch feast

                        And a lady from our church who shares Eva's birthday brought her a special teeny personal cake.

                                       

                                      Birthday books from Grammie!!!  So Eva Grace is 5 and Kindergarten is just around the corner!!!!

May

As the days got warmer there was lots of bunny snuggling out on the deck!

  The month of May was a very busy time. It was a month filled with Hellos and Goodbyes and lots of "Way to GOs!!!" And "See ya in the falls"

   Good bye to our old van which had been in our family for 6 years!!

 Hello to 2 new baby bunnies. Now each little girl had a bunny or her own to snuggle and take care of.Elin named hers Aurora

 

 

 And Eva named her new pet Rosie.

  They are so cute and tiny!

                                  Nifty Bunny carrier!!

                            Elle and her senior rabbit Betsy. Emily bought Betsy for Elle for Christmas with her own money when Elle was 18 months old!!!   Emily's bunny's name is Esther and Em got her last summer.

 The girls went to Regionals with their Heritage fair projects and both did exceptionally well again. Emily won the Labour History in New Brunswick award
 

And Elle won the Aborigional Heritage award and just last week got a congratulatory personal letter from the Premier!!

  Emily got an award from her piano teacher( Grammie Cameron!!) for passing the most songs for the year!! A giant wooden cat, which she is in love with!!

  And all of the girls did very well in their  Awana studies also. Eva finished the Cubbies program.

                                       Elle got her first book award

 Emily passed her book too and also got an award for the most sections passed in a certain time. As I was a Cubbies helper this year, Elin was a Jr. member of sorts and got a handshake and certificate too!!

May was also the month I got my garden planted!! I was soooo excited to get to grow our own food again!!!
