That is a wrap

Well ladies and gentlemen the adventure in LaLa land has come to an end. They describe pilot season as feast or famine and well our last three weeks unfortunately were famine. So it made the most sense to call at quits for this year and head home. But luckily with some prayer and some great work by her agency and manager the day before we left she got a general meeting with Disney! It went great they remembered her from all her taped auditions! They said it was as if they had watched her grow up on tape. They remembered her first taped audition from when she was 11! They said they are going to keep her in mind for future projects so for Syd that was made the entire trip an winning experience.

I know it has been a while

I've been bad with keeping up blog wise, sorry! Sydnei has been getting auditions but ever since I mentioned the first one and she didn't get and I didn't mention the How to Rock audition and she booked it I have been hesitant to mention them all. It's more fun to talk about what she gets then explaining what she doesn't. She has had a couple of commercial auditions a couple print and one pilot and we are hoping for more. If she gets anything I will definitely post it so no worries on missing out on any good news. We haven't been doing as much beach going and shopping as when we first got here. Syd is busy with school, acting class and auditions and unfortunately I have been getting migraines and not feeling well fairly often. That being said today we went to a live taping of auditions for So You Think You Can Dance! It was really fun and we got really into it booing and cheering for our favorites. Also I realized we drive by a lot of cool stuff daily that we don't usually pay attention to but finally decided to takes pictures of, so enjoy! The crazy silver building is the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The rest should be pretty self explanatory! And oh yah GO HEELS so proud we took down the Dookies!

First Job

Yesterday Sydnei had her first job on Nickelodeons How to Rock. The episode is called How to Rock a Uniform so unfortunately she didn't get to wear the super cute clothes the show is known for. But her scene was with the main character in the show She was so sweet (along with all the others) when she saw Sydnei she said they picked the cutest girl to be a "non perf" and that she could totally be a "perf". A perf being the "cool" girls in the show. During one take of the scene she throw a purse and hits Sydnei. The purse throwing was all part of the scene the hitting Sydnei part was not oops. But all is well that ends well, Sydnei tweeted about it and now she follows Sydnei on twitter #winning. Those of you not so familiar with the importance of social networking to a teenager, thats epic! Sydnei also got her own introduction the the whole crew right before they started taping and according to her manager that never happens! So all in all after that can't no one tell her nothing (yes that's my sass talk) We are hoping there will be more jobs and fun stories to come. Stay tuned. Oh and she got her own dressing room!

How to Rock

It's been a few days but good news to report! Sydnei booked a guest spot on Nickelodeon's "How to Rock! She films on Tuesday we will let you know when the episode airs! Woo hoo God is good. Praying the jobs keep coming.

Settling Down

It's been a little bit since the last post. We have been trying to get things done like school and housing. Sydnei is finally in her school flow with lots of work and we have settled in to our place. We love where we are living they do lots of stuff for kids in the acting biz. The first seminar we went to was with Sydnei's agent and an acting coach. While we were there another kid Sydnei's agent represents came in and turns out he was in Joyful Noise. We haven't seen it yet but if you have he is the autistic kid. Today was a day of sit around and wait. Sydnei had 2 auditions both of which we had to wait almost an hour before she went in. But Sydnei did her thing so it's in the Lord's hand at this point. We haven't really been on any adventures lately but rest asure the next one will be documented!

Like sand through the hour glass..

Today we got to go to tour and eat lunch at NBC. We went with a friend of our friends that we are staying with. When we got to his office he had a channel on his TV that was a live feed of the rehearsals for Days of our lives. It was pretty entertaining to say the least. Then we headed to lunch where we saw Gavin Rossdale. Of course Sydnei had no clue who he was but I thought it was cool. For those like Sydnei who also have no idea who he is, he is the lead singer of the band Bush and probably more well known as Gwen Stefani's husband. He was eating so I didn't take a picture, I feel that would have been awkward. After that we got to see where they tape Days of Our Lives, Access Hollywood and Jay Leno! I took a few pics so take a look.

Hats, food and fun

We had a wonderful evening at the Galleria and the Americana In Glendale! Its the cutest place with a trolly you can ride through it. I tried on hats we both got a couple cute and inexpensive items and of course we had food! Syd ate like a bird I ate like a horse as usual. Pics below.
