Here are the girls in wardrobing. They actually make the costumes by hand. They will be wearing hot pink and black cowgirl outfits complete with boots and hat all blinged up. They are pretty cute for a bunch of Texas girls. They fit us pretty good. Here is a pic with "Stanley" on the show and he is also going to be a part of our group on the show. He is hysterical. We think he kind of liked our girls and thought they were pretty cool. The other pic is where the girls were singing on Hollywood Blvd and actually made $50. They could not believe it. We drew a really big crowd. They just sang with no music or mics. The pic shows a guy that let us use his mic for a song. Maybe we can pay for our trip if we sing a few more nights or so. What a time in our lives. We are sitting here watching the boys play baseball. How exciting for you guys. We are screaming for you. Best of luck. Love and kisses to all.


Here are some pics from the rehearsals and learning the choreograhy. They had a ball. The director is on the left and the choreographer is on the right. The girls were really having fun and still could not believe we were on the set of the Cory in the House. We have some more pics of the other days but we are having trouble getting them up on the blog. We will work on it later. We are called the Good Behaviors and sing about behaving right at the end of the episode. We have a great spot in the show. We are so blessed. We will actually film on Tuesday night in front of the live audience. More later.

What an amazing day we had on Tuesday. The Cuties got to go on the set of Cory in the House in front of the live audience and sing during one of the breaks. They wowed the audience again!!! We got to see the entire taping of the episode. We were recorded as "Laughs", it was very fun, the girls even got the cupcakes that Chef Victor had made during one of the takes. They loved it!!! Madeline also went out on an interview and received a call back, we are rocking LA. Tonight, we sing at Universal Studios in front of alot of recording executives at the finals of the talent search, Don Caldwell is even flying in to hear the girls, we can't wait to see some familiar face from home. This may be the last blog entry until we begin the taping of Cory in the House, at TBD. Thanks for all of the blogging we received from you, and for all of your support and prayers. We have had the time of our lives and we know that the Cuties have made a difference out here in LA with their sweetness and having everyone fall in love with them. We will see you back in Lubbock.

Hello everyone out there. We have been on somewhat of a break from the pace we have been keeping. But back to it tomorrow. In the mean time we visited this cool place called The Grove...had lots of shopping and stuff. We also visited the American Girl Place. Fun! Fun! Everywhere we go we get to break out into song. So at the Cafe Marmalade we entertained guests of Susan and Bill along with all of the other dining patrons at the outside cafe. Susan had invited a client to meet the girls and talk about the business and they had a large time. Today we had some leisure time again and went to Hollywood Blvd and the Walk of the Stars and did lots of shopping. We built a few bears at Build a Bear workshop. Mr. Bill pouted last night about not getting to cook for us so we went back to their house again for a lovely dinner tonight. The man can cook....we think he should be the Cuties' chef. We also got invited back to the set of Cory in the House again tomorrow for a live audience show taping and we get to observe as well as sing for producers and writers again with a live audience. Can't wait to see how the audience reacts? More details from our day tomorrow later. Love you guys and thanks for keeping up with us. We love to come and read this as much as possible.

Hello again!! FIRST we want to say GO Western Little League!! We are SUPER excited for y'all! Congratulations on a win of a lifetime!! We can't wait to see you IN THE WORLD SERIES! WOW!

We also want to give our families back home an update about our day yesterday..... We went to our call-back with Nickelodeon at their super-cool building. It was so funny!.....when Cami walked us up to the big gate and rang the bell the man over the intercom said, "Hello, Ladies. We've been expecting you." hee.hee.

That appointment was totally different from the others. They wanted to film us on camera individually. We had studied scripts with the coach Kayley before we went. We went into a studio one by one and read lines for them while they filmed us and interviewed us. Totally cool! They were so fun and friendly! Cami told our wonderful, sweet moms that it was like Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory in there. An amazing and fun atmosphere.
Greetings!!! WOW! everything here is FAST AND FURIOUS!!! Every half hour something new and unexpected is happening. Our schedule is shifting all the time so we are having to try to stay light on our feet. ....On Thursday we had an appointment with some folks at Disney. We felt GREAT about it! They were super nice and thought we were pretty great, too. The folks at that meeting sent us over to the SET of Cory In The House to meet with the writers and producers of that Disney Show. We high-tailed it over there! This time OUR MOMS DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT IN THE VAN!!! shocking! We ALL got to go in to see how everything went. The folks there at Cory were incredibly nice and excited about us. We sang for a room of about 15 writers and producers and other folks working on the show. Then they took us for a tour of the set. SO COOL!!!!! Our moms laughed and clicked pics as we---with our mouths hanging open---walked around the actual set! The casting director, Joey, and one of her assistants were really taken aback by us...they appreciated our West Texas manners!

Universal Studios

Hey there!!! Last night we were SO LUCKY to be able to perform at Universal Studios City Walk. Our totally honest and unbiased mommas said that WE ROCKED. It was the funniest thing!!!....we put the ONLY COPY of our cd that we have to have to sing into the player in the dash of The Green Pea. IT GOT STUCK RIGHT AS WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE GIG!!! OMG! Our moms (including Momma Cami) remained calm on the outside while PANICING on the inside. AAAAHHHHHHH!! .... at the very last second The Pea spit it out and the moms RAN it to the stage. Funny stuff.


We did a great job and had a blast! The emcee (shown in the photo wearing the white hat) went CRAZY for us. Alyson Stoner came just to watch us perform. ...and to take Winnie to the bathroom!! She's incredibly nice!

more crazy, crazy stuff....they asked us to sign autographs! yes, CRAZY! Our moms were cracking up! and then....they sent over a SECURITY GUARD. Flat silly!!

We did let Team Cutie (those moms we've mentioned) take a picture with us while we were there. See how happy and proud they are??!!!

We are having a blast and enjoying each other a ton! We are lucky, lucky kids (we may have mentioned that already!) and we really do appreciate y'all checking in on us! Much love, hugs and smooches!!!!





Some of you may have heard of our very glamorous mode of transportation....THE GREEN PEA. ....we quite resemble The Clampets out here in Beverly Hills. The first night we were here we all busted out laughing as we----kind of lost, wandered around in Susan Curtis' posh neighborhood in the Green Pea in Hollywood with the Cuties and Todd Caldwell---realized how surreal the moment was! WHO'D O' THOUGHT!!???!!!!! crazy, crazy stuff.

We've been to two acting coaches so far and we love BOTH of them! Our staff photogs took this one of us leaving Kaylee's house yesterday. Notice our 'work binders' that we schlep around with all of our 'work' inside..... It's hard being us....

Today we started out with acting lessons this morning. We had to do a quick-change at a friend's house....just down the block from THE BRADY BUNCH HOUSE!!! So cool! We had lunch and our first BIG INTERVIEW with NICKELODEON!!! Their office is in the MTV building. Cool again! We ROCKED! We were so incredibly pleased with how well we did for the four NICK execs....they were, too! They said they loved us. (Our moms weren't surprised!) We headed west and ran into........THE BEACH!!!! WOW! We ran up and down the Santa Monica Pier having a blast. We rode an amazing ferris wheel overlooking the ocean. Then we stopped to sing with this sweet man performing for tips. Folks gathered around taking pictures and video...crazy stuff!!! Our moms were cracking up. Then we HIT THE BEACH. We promised our poor, hardworking, sweet mothers that we'd only get in the water UP TO OUR KNEES. right. (Notice the picture where we look like drowned rats.) THEN notice the picture where we're naked as Jay-Birds in the back of the van!!! In our Nakedness we went to the famous In-N-Out Burger and had burgers & fries in the back of that van (Hey! It's a rental!!) We are lucky, lucky kids! THANKS FOR CHECKING IN ON US!! WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL!!!






First night in Los Angeles! We were invited to Dinner at Susan Curtis' Beverly Hills home. She invited Alyson Stoner (Disney Star!) and friends to meet "THE CUTIES!!!" (...and their MOMS!) We showed them our stuff.
