California LOVIN!!!

I had this thought about Easter a few months ago. For the fun of it I figured why not go to Caifornia and have Easter with my mom and brothers. After that thought I had the thought why not do it for the a month long. That's a long time but why not do it. I ended up getting my ticket and yes it was for a whole month long. My vacation was good. I had a good time with my family and even squessed in time with a friend. I ended up staying with plenty of family. It started off with my mom then my Grandma, then my dear Aunt Jody, then my grandma some more, then my mom some more, then my other Aunt and cousins, then my mom some more then my Grandma some more. I guess you could call me the traveling nut. I had a good time there in California. I saw the ocean and some more!!!

From my cousin's background, you can see Petco Park

in San Diego which is where the Padres play.

I'd like that as my back yard!!!

I have never seen anyone do this new water sport before.

I kept seeing people stand on surfboards and paddle through the water.

Pretty funny. Maybe I'll try it someday?!

Happy Quarter of a Century Birthday to Kelly!!!

I had a good date with Grandma and Grandpa

for my last day in California.

Grandma and I had some good lunch dates right

on the ocean. That was fun to do!

Wine Please!!!

Grandma, Uncle Mike and I went to this really cute

Danish town and they were having an old auto show as we were there.

It was fun to see all the old cars. I'll have that one please!

My little brother Josh was having baseball games as I was in town.

They were fun to go to and cheer on my little bro!

Christian was having some fun rolling around

in his roller blades.

Andrew's the new karate kid and

I hope that he doesn't try and get me!!!

Zach's a new karate kid...watch out!!!

I went and stayed the night with my cousin

Megan. I had a wonderful time because I

haven't seen her in far too many years!

Sleepy little Angelina is so precious and cute.

Megan has one ham of a baby!!!

I was SO happy to see my dear friend Jon on my vacation.

We had a great day out and about Laguna Beach!!!

Dinner date time for my last California day with

Grandma and Grandpa. Had a great dinner date!

Terrell Owens, from the Buffalo Bills, paid

a visit to LAX while I was there. I got a little

star struck but not too much. I could've and

maybe should've tried to talk to him and get

his autograph.

NFL star is SO popular that the paparazzi were at the airport to get

pictures and video of Terrell Owens. That was

fun to see because I've never seen paparazzi before.

I had to sign a piece of paper if I didn't want

my picture covered to see me so I did it.

I ended up staying the night at LAX's arrival

area to wait for a friend to get there. I thought

I was gonna have to just sit in a chair all night

but ended up seeing some other people sleep there

as well and so they gave me the idea of sleeping

on the floor.

This was my bed for the night which worked

out good.

Bad decision?

So I made a decision and might regret it just a little. I kinda got a little syked for the opporunity to be on a reality show just for the fun of it. Well here's the kicker: I was told that I'll be flown out May 3-5 and have an interview with the producers. Well on May 3 we are having a graduation party for my brother's high school graduation. I felt as though I couldn't miss that and that it would be more important for me to be there to congratulate him for the work he's done. So then the other part is the taping part. The taping part is May 22 through June 12 (3 weeks). During this time, my family is taking this BIG family vacation to Key West. This is a vacation that we really have never done before and kind've a going away vaca because my brother Adam is heading to the Army in July. The vacation is June 6 through the 14th. During that week is some of the taping of the show. My problem was deciding if the vacation to Key West or the show is more important. I decisided to do the vacation and not the show. I am thinking back about it and don't know what to do or think about the decision I made. Did I make a good decision and could it be re-done?

More to LOVE

I might be your next reality star for the new show More to Love! Who would've thought?
My grandma was watching the news one night and heard about this casting call. They were going to have the casting call the next day at a Lane Bryant store and my grandma thought I needed to go do it. I couldn't say no and figured it wouldn't hurt anything to try it out. I thought it was a casting call for modeling in a Lane Bryant catalogue and figured "HECK YEAH, I'LL GO" I even already brought some business clothes along with me on my trip to California.
We drove kinda far away to the Lane Bryant store that the casting was at. Besides two other girls, I was one of the first ones there. This took quite a long amount of time to go through it.
The new show is a mixture of The Bachelor for curvy women. Take a look at http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/03/30/2009-03-30_fox_plans_reality_show_for_averagelookin.html for a little more information on it. They are making the new show because most all the other shows have thin girls in them and they want a show for what they call an average American girl that is a size 14 and above and has curves. I fit in that catagory at the moment. I was patiently waiting for my turn for the interview. It was my turn next. They called me up and one of the casting directors already liked me and told me I'm good for the show. After the interview, I was given a HUGE packet of papers to fill out that was, let me say, more than 30 pages of paper. My grandma and I went on over to the Denny's that was right there and I filled out the papers for more than about 30 minutes. In a couple days after filling the paper out I got a phone call and email to send them some full body and face picures.

Here's the kicker, I got a phone call again to come back for another interview with the producers. The taping will be 3 weeks long for the show. I have to go meet with the producers and then might get called up again for the taping. This won't hurt anything if I do it and you just might see me on t.v. Who knows where this will take me!? It's about timing right now and we'll see where this takes me.

Happy Easter!

Easter was a good Easter. I had Easter with my mom and little brothers in California. My brothers and I died the eggs the night before and had a good time doing it together. I ended up going to an Easter service at a nearby church but only I went to the service. I didn't mind going to church by myself. The service was good and I heard the sermon and sang some songs along with the bells ringing. I'm glad I went to the service and proud of myself for going alone. My mom made a quite yummy ham dinner for us all and boy did I enjoy it! After dinner it was time to hide the eggs. Mom and I went outside to hide the eggs and then the boys came out for their search. They had fun searching and I had fun watching because it wasn't too easy for them. We all had a good Easter!!!

All the eggs we died together turned out good. One has all our initials on it. If you look good enough, maybe you can see my egg. It's the one on the upper left corner with nothing else but sports ball stickers and a fire engine!!!

The weather permitted us to have a good time at the pool and fun time with H2O!The boys had fun on the egg and treat hunt!!!The searched so good for eggs they got some Easter treats on a hunt as well. YUMMO!!!

HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD

First and foremost I have the bestest, coolest, most amazing Uncle ever. I've always known this for as long as I can remember. Let's say 25 years! He has worked for so many bands and that gives me the priviledge to attend their concerts for free and even cooler, to meet the bands with back stage passes.
Here's another band to go on my list of the bands that I've met. I just went to the Hollywood Undead concert on their Saints and Sinners tour. I of course didn't want to go by myself and so I invited my siblings: Adam, Dacia, brother in-law Dustin, and Michael, to go along with me. They all went along for the fun ride, besides Michael. We got the free tickets and back stage passes to meet the band after the show.

The concert was tons of fun even though I don't listen to alternative type of music. I was rockin out the whole night! You don't really have to listen to their music so much to have a great time at the concert.

The band was rockin' out the whole time!!!

Our standing area was good enough to be by the music/sound managers.

This was our backstage pass to get us where we want to go!!!

Us girls know how to ROCK ON!!!

They had a good time, with drinks in hand and all!!!

We could be known as the ROCKIN' OUT siblings!!!

The guys had a good time, especially Adam!

I'm HARD CORE rockin' out!!!

My Uncle Mike is the best uncle EVER!!! The guys said they can totally tell we're related!The guys in the band were SO nice!!! Adam was pretty stoked to go and meet the band!!!
