BRITNEY!!!!!!!

Well I leave Friday to go to Kingston and pick up my best friend Holly and then we are going to Ottawa to go see Britney Spears!!!!! I can't wait I'm so excited but so scared because I HATE driving on the highway!!!! We also have to drop off my cat to her new owner :( I dont want to get rid of her because she amazing with kids but Ben wants her gone.... so....
Nothing else is really new here with us. Makayla has about 3 or 4 loose teeth so I'm just waiting for those to fall out. And as hers fall out Blake's are coming in. He's getting his 2yr molars right now which is NOT fun. Plus he's STILL not sleeping through the night for me! Ben should be home around 1 or 2 am tonight from work. He was in North Carolina. We are planning on going up to Dad and Brenda's cottage next weekend because we have only ever been up once and that was last year. So it will be nice to just have a weekend with just us and them.
Still trying to find a good DJ for the wedding as well as a good place for the invitations. Other than that everything else is pretty much done. Mom just got my favors the other day for us so I was happy as that was one thing off the list.
Well talk to you all later
Love Ash XoXo

HAPPY 11th ANNIVERSARY!!

to our darling daughter Lisa & "son" Kyle.
Although your anniversary is not until the 22nd, by then you will be enjoying your long overdue honeymoon and will hopefully not have access to the internet to read this.

So much has happened in your married life - a lot of which you certainly did not sign up for 11 years ago! Through it all, your love has continued to grow and we are so proud of the couple you have become together. Can't wait until your little Lauryn arrives to complete your home and celebrate many more anniversaries with you. You will be amazing parents!
We wish you a safe trip, fabulous vacation and completely stress free time away.
Make sure you cross as many things as you can from your bucket list!

Have a BLAST!!
Love you lots!!!
Mom & Dad

Where has the time gone? I know that i do not come on here very often but lets face it i do not get on the computer very often, but it is nice to see everyone is doing well.

Hello all. Well since I only had a few comments re: mother daughter weekend I decided to have a Survivor Party @ my place instead. So mark your calendars & get ready for a day of fun!

Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya, Bermuda...

What's the next word from the song lyric in the title...
BAHAMAS, come on pretty mama!

Hello family,
How's my peeps? From what I hear everything is fine with everyone! That's great news.
Well, I thought I would write you all to tell you how impulsive and crazy Kyle and I are.
As some of you know on August 22, we will celebrate another year of wedded bliss...
What are our plans you ask? Well... please go to the following link...

DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
We are crazy and impulsive and I don't even know what to call it!
We are NEVER going to get a chance to do something like this when our darling daughter comes from China.
If we wait until we can afford it, it will NEVER happen!
We never got a proper honeymoon..... so....... look out Bahamas.... here come the Thomson's!
Sorry Aunt Donna, Sarah, Jackie and Sue, we are unable to come to London this weekend... we will be in the Bahamas!
Holy Smokes!
Love you all!

Long Weekend Schenanigans

Hey there!

I DID have a wonderful long weekend! Jason and I also went up to Aunt Brenda and Uncle Kevin's cottage for the weekend, and brought along Jason's dog Marshall! Him and Horton had a slow start but were best buds by the time we left! Tim and Stacey came up for a visit - we played some cards, did some boating, and had a few drinks by the fire.

Stacey - you're right about Aunt Brenda's cooking - I haven't ate that well in a while, and I could really get used to that. Mom?? LOL.....

Tyler was a pro on the wakeboard- me and Jason gave tubing a shot on Monday before we left and are still feeling some of the "lasting memories", as Uncle Kevin put it :)

Again, we had a spectacular time, thanks again Aunt Brenda and Uncle Kevin! Erica is in camp this week so we only had a short & sweet visit with her. Once her and Aunt Brenda get on here, I'm sure they will have lots to tell you about their trip out west!

Anyways its back to work time for me - lunch is over :( Love you all bunches! xoxox

ps: Stacey, what about the last weekend in August since I was heading up there anyways :) Works for me?!

Love Sarah

Visit to the Cottage & Mother/Daughter Weekend

I hope everyone had a good long weekend.

Tim & I went to Uncle Kevin & Aunt Brenda's cottage on Sunday. It was nice. Uncle Kevin took us out on the boat . . . got to watch Tyler do his tricks on the wakeboard (very cool!). Aunt Brenda cooked us a wonderful dinner. Lots of changes to the cottage since we were there about a year ago. It looks great. You can tell Aunt Brenda has added her womanly touch now. I was bugging them about not being on the blog yet. I told them I would invite them again but now I don't have their email addresses. Aunt Lorraine can you help me out (again, sorry)?

So I was thinking today & I have not heard anyone mention our mother/daughter weekend this year. Are we skipping it? Summer is 1/2 over already. Let me know your thoughts.
