What lovely weather we're having

NOT!

monday night i had to do my own bootcamp bc there is no boot camp this week, i am growing bigger by the minute! tues- baron came over and the boys played for about an hour- yesterday i left work early to drive in the rain and pick brooke up from school, and then turn around and drive all the way back right near work in the rain for a 15 minute photo session- only to turn back around and drive back to pearland -in the rain and traffic- fun few hours that was!

This summer, at one of Brooke's home games, a lady came to do short video clips of some football players, parents and kids.. she was casting for a conoco commercial. She talked to several people- including me, jeremy, brooke and justin. She ended up calling me and justin back to her studio- where she did a short interview to submit to the producers. We both went to callbacks, and funny thing is that i was the one they wanted for the shoot- i figured i would be the LEAST likely bc i am definitely camera shy when speaking.. and as you know, i never fix my hair or get all dolled up. anyway- i was in a conoco commercial, but one scene i was driving a minivan to a pump, getting out and pumping (so my back is to the camera, cant tell it's me) and in the other, we were at a football field- and i was a football parent, standing on the sideline cheering- but the girl with the speaking part was in a lawnchair really close to the ground- so i think all you could see of me is my legs/arm motions- not my face... so i didnt get to have my hair and makeup done :( oh well. i did get paid $175 though :)

anyways, i guess the lady kept our stuff on file, because on monday, she called and asked if brooke would be interested in doing a print ad for citgo (i think?) they needed 8-11 year old girls- she asked if brooke still looked the same and could pass for 11- i said ??? she said to call her wed morning and see if they still needed people- bc she had already submitted some... so, i called and they did- and she said 'feel free to bring a friend- so we can get their personalities interacting (even though it is print ad)... so, i called jennifer to see if summer and kayla wanted to go- they are actually the right age and cute girls... anyway, we all rode together- the girls were in shorts and shirts, to fit the soccer player role- and all they had to do was put their hands up and yell 'yay' for a picture- and then a pic of them with their 'number' and then a pic of the 3 of them hugging/high 5's etc. the girls had fun- i guess we will hear in a few days if they want to call them back... the actual shoot is march 6. too bad i didnt have my camera with me yesterday- i always have it!

this morning, jakey was a little on the grumpy side- and then he saw his spiderman umbrella (that aunt marsha gave him) outside when we were leaving and HAD to have it with him in the car- wouldnt let me put it down and threw a fit even when i had to take it out of his hand to get the buckle over his arm.. silly boy!







this afternoon, i am going to pick up my packet for my run this saturday- a few friends and i are running the park to park 5 mile run- it is from minute maid park to hermann park... we shall see if i make it the whole way running! i have only run further ONE time- for the 10k i did back before jacob was born...

and here are a few justin pictures with his gravedigger shirt on (from monster jam) and his spiderman ipod- jammin to the wiggles on his bed..
