AI POOL

Hey AI pool participants, I am not sure if there will be an elimination tomorrow night because of "IDOL GIVES BACK" on Wednesday night. Last year they did not do an elimination and did two the next week. If anyone has any info on that, please let me know.

Go ahead and send me your bottom three before 7:00 tomorrow night and I will try to figure something out if they do not have an elimination tomorrow night.

Number 1-3 with the 1 slot going to the person you think will be going home. e-mail to me at jak122004@msn.com

Let's try this one again

It was so much fun last time, let's do it again!!

What did you have for dinner last night? Who prepared it? If you ordered or ate out, where was it from and what did you have?

Leave me a comment with last night's menu.

The DIEL GIRLS

Emily Allen Volkman posted this picture of me and my sisters on her blog. She gave me permission to share it on mine as well.

Rebekah is the baby. Michelle is the one that could be mistaken for a boy.

I am the one that looks like at even (what I think would be about) three or four years old, is having some sort of a snarky (it's my new word) thought.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

I saw one of my favorite girls, Chelsea May, at Joe's tonight and she asked me about my musical pictures. Sorry I did not post them earlier and I don't have more of them!

Rebekah with the fabulous Kendra Will. Kendra just BLEW me away.

What a talent she is. So beautiful inside and out.

I was so proud of Kendra.

--I got my picture taken with Kendra as well, but it is an awful picture of me, so I won't share it

I did bring Kendra some flowers and if she wants, I will show her the picture of us.

(did I ever tell you just how much I hate getting my picture taken?)

My Mom and Kendra

Rebekah with Chelsea

Chelsea is a hottie.

The word that comes to my mind for me to describe Chelsea is "SPITFIRE"

or perhaps MOXIE--cause that girl has got it!

Even though this is blurry, I had to post this picture of

Rebekah and Kearstin Kerner.

Gabe at "half-time" enjoying some cotten candy.

We had great seats in the balcony. Here's a picture of the people who sat behind us.

Facts of Life Fav

It's a tie! Jo and Natalie tied for favorite from FACTS OF LIFE poll.

My two favorites!

Happy Birthday!

To my sister Michelle-she will be 29 this Sunday!

Happy Happy Aunt Chelle, Love Jack

Future Superstar

Mr. & Mrs. Swick's reception

Colleen and Chalen Swick were married in early March (I think the first) on a cruise ship. I think maybe Gopher married them, not really but that would have been cool. Last Saturday night they had a reception at Luchenbachs in Altamont. I did not take very many pictures, but here are some of the few that I did get.

Colleen getting down with her niece Gracie. If you have ever seen Jay Leffler dance, I am pretty sure that is where Gracie gets most of her moves!
Jason and Michelle

Stella Passalacqua holding her ears, the music was too loud for her, or maybe she just is not a fan of the Country & Western genre.

Some guy that we did not know. Colleen said he works with Chalen. I just thought his piercing was picture worthy.

The new $5.00 bill.

**********

A fun time was had by the Diel girls and the men

with horrible gas that we allowed to come with us.

**********

The food was super good.

Colleen and Chalen seem so happy

and that is all that matters, but good food helps.

So proud

Jack and I attended quite a few basketball games this past season at NCHS. At every game during half-time they have SHOOT FOR CASH. You pay a dollar and get to shoot the basketball. If you make it you get $5. Jason and Todd run the SHOOT FOR CASH for Coach Mo. At every game I would ask Jack if he wanted to shoot the ball. Other kids around his age would do it, I knew he loved basketball, plus it was Todd and Jason, they would help him out. He never wanted to do it. He was too scared.

At the donkey basketball game this past Monday night they did the SHOOT FOR CASH at half-time, and Jack did it!! He went out on the floor holding Kaitlin Diel's hand and his dollar with the other hand. I was so proud. When it was his turn Todd helped him. He did not make it, but he tried really hard, and by the picture you can see that for three years old, Jack has really good form!

thanks for the pictures Amber!! Check out more pics from donkey b-ball on Amber's blog at http://www.photographicsgallery.blogspot.com/
