I wish I was able to come celebrate with you - although it would be a pop 'n chip party with you expecting and all....couple more years and we'll make our way down East again, ready to ride the bus! WOOT WOOT!

Introducing....Iceman....

Alexander decided today that he'd like to be called "Iceman" from now on....whatevs - if that makes him happy than who am I to judge?

We've also determined that for some reason my "devil horns" always seem to have this stupid growth on the side of them (my thumb). My defense is that it's from shooting Spiderman webs all day long with the boys and I unconsciously stick out my thumb

...although Alex has no prob doing it?!?

Some people have asked so here it is - my Ode to Kathryn

Good evening,
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Lesley and my role of distinction today is that of Matron of Honour.
Kathryn and Jeff, I am thrilled for both of you. Sometimes you just know that two people were made for each other. That’s how it is today.
Kathryn, in all the time I have known you, I’ve never seen you happier. We have known each other since Kindergarten. Kindergarten at Albert Park School versus when we attended Kindergarten in the 80s, although we were both sporting the Kindergarten bangs. Kathryn has always been a great friend to me in so many ways. We’ve had a lot of fun together, and she’s always been there for our family and as godmother to my oldest son Joseph. We’ve come to know one another so well, that we have an understanding that goes beyond words. We don’t judge, and we don’t have to explain. We’ve seen each other through the good, the bad, the ugly and the lice.
Kathryn and Jeff truly compliment one another. You met as friends and it evolved into a love that so many people rarely find today. Love after all, doesn’t make the world go around. Love is what makes the world worthwhile. And it’s a wonderful thing when two people who were made for each other manage to fall in love.
So I’d like to make a toast. And I’d like to make it with this thought in mind:
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
So this is to you, Jeff and Kathryn, ladies and gentlemen: To friends, lovers, soulmates and a wonderful life together.

Well, that was it folks. I didn't cry when I wrote it, didn't cry when I proofread it, was totally pumped to give my speech in front of a huge crowd - and what happens? I cried through the entire freaking thing. That's so not like me, guess it shows how much my little Katie-pie means to me and my fam.

Here kitty, kitty

WTF? Is that what y'all are thinking? Well I'm actually on the hunt for one of these: or one of these:
for Miss Kacie's birthday in a couple weeks. So far I've checked Wal-Mart, Toys R Us (online), Superstore and Canadian Tire. I can't even find just a pink CD player, or a Barbie CD player. It's the only thing she asked for -besides CDs to play on her new CD player- so how do you say no to that?

And there's more concert listings for the Beck's. Boys II Men are playing at Cowboys in a couple weeks so we're going to go see them. Although Aaron said he didn't even like them when they were airquotes "cool". That's called taking one for the team, I think!

More concerts

apparently Kelly Clarkson is coming to Cowtown this fall. WOOT WOOT! And like the good DH that he is, Aaron automatically put in the request for 4 tickets for me. It gets sooooooo much better - a friend of ours knows the guy that recorded her album. Uh, hello? Backstage passes & autographs, puhlease. Aaron said not to get my hopes up, but, you know me... I'm so freaking excited! Poor Aaron has been getting harassed for his concert choices lately - Gwen, Christina, Nelly... gotta love that he does it anyways.

We were aiming for a fairly low-key weekend but ended up with a partying weekend. Friday night was my Ladies Night and we hit the bars after Bunco til the wee hours of the morning. Turns out I'm hostess next month and I'm thinking that we're going to have another Get Lei'd party at the Beck household. Then Saturday it was Aaron's turn to let loose with his fellow UFC-ers. Although I bought the fixin's for Porn Star shooters and Electric Popsicles and totally indulged too - yummy! Today we finally bought our new patio furniture and I had the daunting task of putting it together while Aaron did the rest of the gardening and the kids ran around us both burning off some energy (6:30 bedtime tonight, yahoo).

Hope everyone had a relaxin' weekend!

More concerts in my future

Aaron picked up tickets for me and Andrea to go see Def Leppard and Styx in September. WOOT WOOT! I'll have to go buy their CDs now to refresh my memory...they haven't exactly been coming out with any #1's on the top forty list lately, know what I mean?
So, this being said, I realized last night that Gwen Stefani concert is only 2 1/2 weeks away. Can't wait!
