what a wild night!

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.
