Happy 13th birthday Kelsey

I woke up this morning thinking its Kelsey's 13th birthday today..I am going to get up and put a birthday post on my blog. Well.. looking through pictures of miss Kelsey I ended up sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking about this wonderful niece I have.

She is an amazing person. We had so much fun with her the two weeks she was here this past summer. She fit right in with us. My kids adore her. Amy told me the other day that she wants to be 12 because Kelsey is 12. Plain and simple.

So have a wonderful day Kelsey.. I wish with all my heart I was there to celebrate with you!!

Lots and lots of love from Auntie, Uncle George, Jarret and Amy!!!

Tomorrow night we head to Canadian Idol for the live show! I cant tell you how excited I am. Actually we all are excited. We headed to the dollar store today and bought some poster paper, some markers and some glitter glue and the kids are making the signs right now. I will take pictures of them holding the signs.

Kelsey has been here since last Thursday and we have been on the go ever since. We went to Canada's Wonderland yesterday from 945am to 10pm! OMG.. we were all dead by the time we got home. I got burnt on my arms and chest, but we had a good time.

George took Kelsey and the kids up the CN Tower today while I was at work and then took them to Much Music. So they had a bit of a busy day.

Let me tell you I love having her here. She is so good.. polite and just all around nice kid!!

Pictures to come soon!!

She's here!!

So Kelsey is FINALLY here!! She came in last night and we are so glad to see her. After the airport we went downtown to show her the CN Tower and went and grabbed a bite to eat. It was a late night by the time we got home but we had a good first night.

Every once in a while Amy would say "Hi Kelthsy" and she would giggle and say "hi" right back. It was cute.

Jarret was very shy with her. He didn't say too much and wouldn't look her in the eye for the first hour or so.. lol. Then at the restaurant he warmed up and they were talking and the three of them were playing.. so cute.

George is off today... I think the plan is they will go to Canada's Wonderland for the water park while I am at work.. then tomorrow we will all go back and hit some rides. George is excited to have a roller coaster buddy. Jarret can only go on so many because of his size.

Everyone is still sleeping, I am up because I have to make Char's famous Taco Dip for a potluck for work today. I bought the ingredients last night at 12:30.. talk about last minutes.. lol.

My mom sent a bunch of clothes for the kids.. as she puts it she "Hit the jackpot". Superstore was clearing out the kids summer section everything $1.98!! Thank goodness Kelsey has a big suitcase!!! THANKS MOM!!!

Also thanks Char for my candle holders!! They are really pretty!!! Cant wait to get them on the wall..

I will be back this weekend hopefully with some pictures.

Its been a while since my last post. This house has been sick. It started with Amy throwing up on Sunday.. then Jarret on Monday then what ever they had I picked up and was with it on Wednesday. Jarret was sick again on Wednesday night and Amy one last time yesterday. Not fun. I am hoping that is the end of it.

The long weekend is coming and I am so looking forward to it.

In two weeks miss Kelsey is flying to Toronto to stay with us. We are all very very excited for her to come and spend some time with us. We just bought a Nintendo Wii the other day so that should keep the kids occupied while George and I are at work. We have plans to go to Niagara Falls with her and to Canada's Wonderland.

I am heading to work early today because I left early on Wednesday because I was sick. Now I have to make up some hours. It's Incredibly hot here.. thank God for air conditioning.

Have a great weekend everyone..

HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my Canadian readers!!!!
