College Football

Growing up as a child come fall was the Best thing on earth! Not just because my birthday was right around the cornor or that halloween was coming up, but come Sept. was the end of saturday cartoons, and the begining of College Football! I remember cheering for my dad's teams PENN,BYU... But then I watched Rudy and everything changed! I was a fighting Irish just like Rudy! Then I decided that I was Irish and that, that is where my heratige is from ( I do have irish on my side) so this helped in making my decision! I have a very deep rooted love for this time of year thanks to my parents who taught me the simplest things in life, like staying home and watching college football on staurdays!!

First Grade! Holy Canolie

Today was Forrest Jr's first day of first grade! He was so excited to go that last night he made sure all of his stuff was neatly hanging on the door shoes ready and school folders ready! (He is my Bob Saget!) We woke up this morning, had pancakes and eggs for breakfast, and Big Forrest gave him a Father's blessing! Then we walked to his school which only took us about 8 mins or so! He is attending Golden Hills Elementary a California Distinguished School!! He starts at 9 in the morning and goes till 3 in the afternoon!! I actually love those hours! His teacher's name is Mrs. Phillips! What an organized lady she is!! There are only 16 kids in the class and she has an aid, which will be great, more personal time with each child!! It's going to be a great year for Forrest!!

Moving on Up!

So this comeing weekend Forrest and I will be moveing our fam up to Tehachapi CA! I am so excited about this move!! It's going to open up so many doors for us! We will actually be able to save for a house!! We are moveing into a really cute 2 bed 1 bath! Yes it's small but small sacrifice for a bigger picture!! The school Forrest Jr will be attending is called Golden Hills Elemantry. They actually just became a distinguished school! They also have a really awesome program for those who are repeating kindergarten;called the T1 program! Transitional first grade. Meaning he will do 1 grade twice, but instead of struggling in a regular first grade class he will be reviewing things he learned in Kindergarten and improving those skills!! They allow 20 kids in the program,Forrest jr is next on the list!! I'm so excited that he might get to do this! Tehachapi has been one of our favorite places, so it helps moving to somewhere you like to be!! However it's just a stepping stone to where our heart is! Northern California!

Northern California

By FAR my favorite place in the entire universe!! Yes I haven't seen any of Europe but, nothing can compare to the feeling of being home!! My heart will always be here with this amazing place. Southern Cal does not compare!! Were hoping to be here in a year!! So we have work to do!!

Stallion Springs

There is this quant little town just pass Tehachapi! It's called Stallion Springs! There is no grocery store, no place to to eat out; just a gas station with a general store attached to it, a realators office, and church! It is so beautiful there you wouldn't believe it belongs in SoCal! We took a little drive up there with the kids, and went to a little park! It had only a couple of things to play on but the kids loved it! The Scenery was amazing!

The covering in the background has stairs that lead straight into the water!

It is impossible to get this girl to look at the camera!! She is still to cute though!!

The Horse was by far the favorite!! I love my little man!!I can always get a good one out of Forrest!! What a smile!!

Call back, and my crazy nerves!

So last Wed. April 21, I got a call back for a show called Losing it with Jillian! I actually origianly applied for this show back in Oct. Well the app. consisted of going to a website called casting duo! I spoke to a lovely lady and she gave me the time and date for my interview, and screen test! I asked too about my biggest loser app. and this interview also goes to that too! I got off the phone and like a 12 year old girl who found out that the boy she liked, liked her back;I jumped up and down and was giggeling! I've been trying soooo hard to keep my mnd off of it, not doing a very good job! Yesterday was a mess though I don't think my brain was working at all! I was so nervous! I know i need to be myself and that's what I need to keep in mind!! Today is not so bad! Thank goodness I have a ton of laundry to do and things around the house to keep me busy!! So tomorrow is my interview, and I will post all the details of what happend!!

Poppies

This time of year is so beautiful in the Antelope Valley! The fields are a blaze of mostly orange, but with some yellow and purple! I haven't seen the hills like this in years! It was amazing to see! I remember as a kid coming out here every year and just walking in the fields, and also getting in trouble cause I would pick them! So it was nice to share this tradition with my kids!
