Several Months of Catching Up!

I have majorly neglected updating here due to tossing up pictures now and then on facebook.  I figured I'd do several months of photos at once to catch myself up.  :)  Enjoy!

Jordin Sparks Concert

Little clip of Jordin singing the end of her song, Battlefield. 



Twilight Convention 
We got to hang out with the AMAZING Hillywood show during the convention.  It was so much fun taking them out to eat, bringing them lunch and just visiting with them.  We also took them to the airport on Sunday after one last dinner out. 



 At the Cracker Barrel for dinner




Notice the guy in the background?  LOL!!!

Kylie's 14th Birthday

February 2010 (& some more January 2010 also)

Yes, I'm horribly slacking here.  Once again I'm so sorry to any family members and/or friends that missed the monthly photo update for February. (I haven't received any threatening emails though, so I'll assume nobody even noticed?  LOL!)   I also realized I slacked horribly TAKING pictures in Feb.  Sooooo.......I'm going to have to disappoint and upload the meager few I have.  I want to get caught up so I can make up for my photo lack with my March update. 

So, here ya go!  :)

This is my only true February photo!  I took some more of the party, but most were also group action shots so I'll just put this one here.  Sorry!!  

I found these on my iPhone of Collin with his friend, Jake, and Kylie with her friend, Sammi.  I thought they were cute!  Can't remember for sure when they were taken though.  (I think Jan or Feb though.)  :)



These next photos are all from January and are from my parents visit. 

This next picture is Lilly wearing her "Hat of Shame".  We tie a plastic bag on her head anytime we get home to find she's been in the trash.  The kids find it hilarious and so do we.  LOL!


This last photo is one we took while driving of a HILARIOUS license plate.  I had to include it!!! (I'm making this photo extra large to make sure you can read it!  HAHA!)

Hillywood Show New Moon Parody Adventures!

Ok, I finally can post photos from our time filming The Hillywood Show's New Moon Parody so here you go! If you want to see the parody first, click this link:

NEW MOON PARODY

(note: Look for a brief glimpse of Kylie at 08:01 in the link above!)


Unfortunately, I realized it would take me forever to resize all our photos, so I'm just uploading the best ones here. I have the rest on snapfish so email me if you'd like an invite to see them all.

The Saturday night before filming they had a dinner for all the extras. Here are a couple of photos from that night:


Tim and the kids with Robert and Emily Hindi. They are Hannah and Hilly's parents and are super nice!


The kids got a picture with Hannah and Hilly. Hilly was excited to see Kylie had matching shoes so they showed them off. They made sure I got their shoes in the picture! LOL!



Here are the pictures from the actual day of filming:

Tim had to hold up Jacob (who plays Edward) because when Hilly (who plays Bella) jumped into his arms he'd stumble back a little. As soon as she jumped Tim had to crawl off to the side so the camera could pan around. Think of him when you see that shot in the parody. LOL!!!



Candid shot of the guys waiting on the porsche shot. Tim LOVED the porsche!!!



Here's Kylie waiting around on a tour group to leave so they could film another scene. She didn't want me to take her picture then, hence the "happy" look. ;)



Cool behind the scenes shot:



They took a group photo at the end of the day. I loved it!



We took one closer so you could tell where Kylie is:



At the very end of the day Jacob (aka Edward) got into his moose pajamas to be comfy for the ride home. He posed with Kylie to show them off.




This next group of photos is from the movie premiere. A movie theater actually allowed them to have a private screening of their movie, and only family and friends were invited. We were lucky enough to be included due to Kylie being an extra! It was so neat seeing them on the big screen, and the brief glimpse of Kylie made it cooler!!!


The kids got to finally meet Kyle (who plays Jacob) because he wasn't in the red cape scene at the filming!


They also got to see Drew (who plays Jasper) since he wasn't at the filming either. He is SO nice! Very friendly and fun guy!



It's too tiny to tell, but the movie marquee says "The Hillywood Show" by the theater 7 listing in the background!



Kylie with her friend Alicia that we met at the filming. Their whole family is super nice, too!! Her dad works with Robert Hindi.



Here is Collin with Lance (on the left, Drew's brother. Drew plays Jasper) and Andrew (on the right, Andrew is Alicia's brother).


They wanted a crazy picture so I told them to go nuts. LOL!!!

E-Christmas Card with a Happy New Year Wish!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I always wait until after Christmas to put up any Christmas pictures. That way people haven't already seen them when they get their cards. :) We hope everybody had an amazing Christmas and we hope you have a great New Year!

We used these pictures on our Christmas card:





If Kylie's face hadn't been cut off we would've used this one (Using an arm in the air didn't work....LOL!!!):



The next few pictures were taken on Tim's birthday









West Family Slideshow

I made this slideshow for the West side of the family so it only has that group in the pictures. :)



NOTE: I'm having all kinds of video upload issues. My free trial website quit working and Blogger and YouTube block the sound. *sigh* Sorry. I'll see what I can do to fix it.

Vegas Trip 2009

In December we took a short trip to Las Vegas for Kylie to be an extra in a YouTube video made by The Hillywood Show. Unfortunately we can't put those pictures online until they release their video in January. So, we will get them up then. While in Vegas though we managed to find a teeny bit of time to check out a few things. I'll include those for now.

Kylie & Collin in front of our hotel

The rest of these photos are from our visit to Madame Tussads Wax Museum
