No Gas Left

I think this is what Pastor John means when he says, "we need to live so at the end of the day our tank is empty".

She was playing so hard this happened at about 11am!

(that is Gerry the Giraffe in her clutches)

Jewel Rides Linko

When Grandpa Guay came down for a visit, he brought his doggy Linko. Jewel was facinated and we had to take to opportunity for some great photos. Seen below is a thrilled little girl "riding" a very nervous doggy.

(yes that dish towel is her saddle)

Jewel meets her GRANDPA!!!

So Jewel finally met her Granddad Guay! It was love at first sight. Grandpa Guay drove all the way down from Pouce Coupe (near Dawson Creek) to spend the long weekend with his "Chilliwack" family.

Seen here at breakfast, she was squeeling with joy most of the meal.
Grandpa pushed the stoller for our little "hike" those stroller wheels are not made for gravel walks.
Our Family, minus Jewel, she was too short for the close up. Notice the looks on our faces, very consistant with our personalities. My favorite is Brett... a little sneaky one might say?
This is the "harsh" gravel, I think we wore the wheels smooth.

Jewel making faces at her Grandpa, don't worry he was making faces at her so it wasn't rude ;)

she's so cute

Life Women 2007

Jewel, Mammie and I all attended the Women's Conference for the second time this last weekend. Jewel was there last year but she did miss most of it being in my womb and all.
The Women's Conference is absolutely amazing, it encourages, inspires and unites the women from all generations to live to their full potential. Last year we had some major break throughs in our family and this year was even more powerful. If you are a lady reading this you absolutely must attend next year.

We had tons fun, we chatted, laughed, hugged, ate (chocolate... ice cream bars, Starbucks chocolate covered pretzels, caramel apples and lots of other yummy stuff), sang, laughed some more, connected with one another and generally just loved eachother and life. What ever you do don't miss it!

There were also tons of babies, actually tons would be an understatement. So if Jewel was not interested in attending the sessions there were always plenty of ladies to chat with while feeding, changing or playing. We have documented some of the weekend...

Jewel and Emma Lou

Jewel and her sweet friend Amelie! These girls had a great time together and so did Amelie's mom and I.

Jewel playing with Auntie Michelle.

Michelle is so fabulous to have as a friend and as an adopted Auntie; she even got Jewel ready for bed one night! Thanks Michelle!

Jewel and Michelle reading the bible at Marc and Sanja's.

Thanks again you guys for letting us take over your lovely home with baby stuff.

These next few are of Jewel and her friend Ruby (daughter of our good friends Josh and Destiny). We figure the girls will have to be great friends with names like Jewel and Ruby. Cute story, we put Jewel and Ruby next to one another and they slowly "fell" into one another. They were both very interested in eachother which worked out to be some really great photo opp.s

LOL!!!

getting bigger

Jewel having some tummy time, I must admit she doesn't do this often, she hates it! Shortly after this picture was taken she began to cry and I promptly picked her up.
Sitting on the couch with daddy, I think she just asked when she gets her own "treo", Dad is just checking when her 5th month birthday is.
Sitting on the same couch with a different outfit one week later, but getting bigger by the minute.
