Tonight was a fun night. Tony and Alicia Boyles came over to watch the kids so David and I could go out and watch a concert . . . I'll let you know who the 'big celebrity' was in a moment . . . first, our awesome friends . . .
Tony came in and sat down . . . only a few moments later Kaylee comes up and climbs up on him and sits right next to him and is instantly warmed up to them. She never does this to someone she doesn't see often . . . actually, she really never does this often at all. Count yourself as lucky, Tony! He is a part time police officer and it's fun to hear a few stories from him and watch him and Alicia ride their harley around. What does it take to get him to take me around on that motorcycle!? hint hint
Alicia is such a fun person. We serve together on the enrichment committee and is a wonderful friend. She is great with the kids. Someday they'll get to have fun with their own! (hopefully the kids were as good as they said and didn't ruin any plans!) . . . My sister Kelly remared about being in Nursery that it was a 'good form of birth control.' Of course she was joking, but you hope that your kids don't change someones mind about kids . . . anywho . . . Alicia is a mortgage somethin or another . . . and we talked about the market and how it's going . . . or kinda not going . . . with all the foreclosures and why that came about. We gotta have them over more often.
We arrived at the Celebrity Theatre . . . it was north in Phoenix. It was a nice small theatre with a very unusual stage. It is round with seating all around it. This is our first view of the stage and I thought . . . 'dang, we're just gonna see the drummers bottom all night.' Acutally, the stage turns during the whole night so we got to see EVERYONE in the band. That was kinda neat.
There were TONS of women, and probably 3 guys in the audience. So, now you must know that is it a popular celebrity with the women . . . that is, women in their 50's! {David trying to make light of the note leaned over to his mom and asked 'Do you see any of your friends from high school here?'} He just keeps me laughing. We were probably in for a fun and interesting night.
DONNY!!!!!
Donny Osmond night at the Celebrity Theatre. Now you know why there were so many beautifully seasond ladies there last night. Donny . . . their teenage heart throb was in town. I must say though, he has an amazing voice. Very friendly to the audience and gracious enough to sign some cd cases and 'record labels' during his songs, something David wasn't too happy about. He sang many songs by different artists as well as some new ones and a few older ones . . . puppy love . . . soldier of love etc. It was a pretty fun evening.
One funny thing that happened was when a lady who was probably reaching her 60's hopped on the stage and started dancing around the stage around Donny. The security quickly got to her and escorted her back to her seat. What a wild night!
We happened upon the tickets because we are Donny enthuiasts! no, Actually we got the tickets from David's Dad. He bought two tickets to surprise mom for her birthday . . . but then it turned out that Emily would be in town so he wanted to get three tickets that were together. He asked if we'd be interested in buying the first two. We did and had a fun time.
hats, shoes whatever. He's such a good boy and a great brother. He is so gracious to take all the abuse of a loving older sister. He is just about as heavy as Kaylee . . . solid as a rock and 1/2 her age. He's gonna be such a great big . . . as in older . . . brother someday! I love you Buddy! 
dance along. She is such a girly girl. She has a cute way of saying Cinderella . . . Tru-la-la-la. I'm sure someday we'll get her a Cinderella dressup for her to enjoy. Cade enjoys everything that Kaylee does too. He'll put a doll in a stroller and carry around a purse just like his big sister. He's such a cutie and a momma's boy. My kids are fun.
a bent q-tip. David responded the next morning with two q-tips saying II at the end...meaning I Love You Too. It is a fun tradition and it's also fun to get it on camera to see how different we have fun with this. I Love You David. 
I'm pooped...my hair is a mess and my makeup is blotchy' (but nothing a bit of photo editing can't fix!). I am really enjoying life. I got my epidural shot last week and am no longer feeling pain or tingling down my left leg. I hope the effects of the shot last a while. It's nice to feel more normal finally. I'm not sure what the future holds for my back, I just hope to try and keep positive through any further setbacks. 
e funny but also sensitive. I love just sitting in the same room with her or being on the phone and not saying anything...we don't have to say a word but we love being together. Many moments don't need words, just company. I love you Kelly. You're beautiful and funny and my favorite twin! 
just kicks around happily in the pool. I never thought he'd be so independent in the water. He seems so much more cautious than Kaylee was. Kaylee was the one who won't let me go when we're in the water. 
r. We promised Kaylee to take her swimming on Saturday. We called around to our friends but couldn't reach anyone so we decided to move the pool party into our back yard. They're just as happy with a hose and a small pool...but would have enjoyed floating around in a big pool quite a bit too! 
It was too cute. After that we called Daddy and Mommy and got to chat with them for a bit then it was off to bed again to sing the songs and say goodnight. Aly was by about half and hour later to pick her up. What a fun day!
Chicago for our Reunion we celebrated Kaylee's 3rd birthday. It was great to celebrate with family. She had some of her great cousins with her. This wasn't much of a cake, but the real one was the next day. We made an ice cream cake for her. We had a great summer! Two reunions in one month...too fun!
