Boob Tube Babble
Today on Boob Tube Babble, I’m talking about The Voice again!
 
I am just really loving this show!
 
My favorite this week:

Raquel Castro
She is 16 years old and she is adorable! She has such a powerful voice for being so young.
Also on this week’s episode was Taylor & Tori Thompson
I’m going to show how nerdy I am right now. When I saw them, I knew exactly who they were. Back in like 2004 or so, American Idol did a spinoff show called American Juniors. It was basically American Idol, but instead of a solo artist, they were forming a kids group. Taylor and Tori made the group.

They were so cute!

Also in the group with them was Lucy Hale, who is on Pretty Little Liars now! They released an album but never did much together after that. It was really cool seeing the girls on the show. I hope they do well!
Last week, I talked about my favorites from that night, Elenowen.
I downloaded their album on iTunes on Wednesday night.
I started listening right away, and I really really enjoyed it. I tweeted about loving it, and when I woke up this morning, I saw this on my phone!
Kinda cool!
What are you watching this week? Link up your tv chats with Neely & Meagan!
Also, super big congratulations to Meagan on Baby Chase! He’s a cutie!

Quick Hello

Hey y’all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Dallas Blogger Meet-up was such a great time! I’m still working through all the pictures trying to organize all of them, so hopefully I can get a post together sometime tomorrow. The other reason I don’t have a post ready?

I think the little guy missed me! He keeps getting between me and my computer.

I’m off to bed now, so I’ll leave you with a couple of pictures to hold you over until the recap comes. :)

Boob Tube Babble

Boob Tube Babble

Hey y’all! Today is Neely & Meagan’s first Boob Tube Babble link-up. Here are my tv favorites this week.

the voice
Oh my goodness, I am LOVING The Voice already! I think the format of the show is really cool. I love that we get to start with good auditions instead of having to sit through weeks of bad singers. I think this show will be really popular. I’m excited to watch the rest of the season. My favorites so far:
elenowen
Elenowen! They were awesome!

glee
I missed Glee Tuesday night, but I downloaded this song. It is really great, and it really makes me want to watch the whole episode!

grey
I was SO happy the Grey’s Anatomy was new this week! I’ve been missing it. I’m so glad that Callie & Mark’s baby is ok, at least for now. I was afraid they were going to let her die. I was definitely not wanting to have to cry!

private practice
Super glad Private Practice was back too! I’m not thrilled that they brought the crazy lady that stole Violet’s baby back. Charlotte’s ex-husband came back into the picture and freaked Cooper out a bit. Charlotte talked to him, and he admitted that he left her because he’s gay. She realized that the divorce wasn’t her fault, and it seems like she and Cooper are actually going to get married. Addison and Sam are breaking up. I love both of them, but I was not liking them together AT ALL.

What shows did you watch this week? Link up your tv talk with Neely & Meghan!

Fun Friday!

Young & Awkward-Pictures from the Past

Hey y’all! My Momma and I have been working on this post for a week now, trying to find the perfect pictures for me to use. After going through all the pictures she sent me, there were quite a few that I was super embarrassed to see! Here are the ones that I’m…comfortable posting. :)

I’m going to try to go in chronological order, starting with 5th grade.

5th Grade


This was my absolute favorite birthday party! It was 50s themed, and we had so much fun!

8th Grade


8th grade New Year’s Eve was our first real party! We were so excited!


I miss these guys!


8th grade graduation

9th Grade

I was in color guard all four years of high school. Jessica was a twirler. We had such a great time!

This was our hideous performance uniform! I was so glad when we got new ones. Tooooo many sequins! I wish my legs were still that small…


Jessica and I got to be on our class’s Homecoming float with our friend Terrance! It was awesome!


Color Guard/Twirling initiation. David was super happy to be taking a picture with Jess and me!

Our school’s pageant. This became “our” pose. We’ve done it for every significant event since then. Two pageants, two proms, three graduations, Jessica’s wedding, and birthday milestones.
