Work & Play

Hey friends! It's been a while since I stopped by my blog so I thought I would say hello to catch up! I went to Switzerland in March..(see previous blog with a slideshow of the trip!) it was amaaaaazing as always! Since then here's what I've been up to the past couple of months!

Work: I've been blessed to have gotten to work doing casting for a few fun projects in the world of Television! I also feel very blessed that I enjoy what I do...I think that is most important!

I've been working with dLt Casting & Productions  on a new game show for the The Hub Network, called The Game of Life. Once that show ended, I began casting for Season 2 of  Family Game Night , also on the HUB. I went to see the TV studio set the last day of taping and it happened to be the day that Reuben Klamer board game designer & original creator of the Game Of Life, was there as a special guest on the show! He was so sweet and also gave me an autographed 50th anniversary board game. It was such a pleasure to meet him. It really made me feel a sense of accomplishment when he told me that he loved the kids that I was bringing in to be on the show, and to "keep up the good work." Thanks Rueben!

I also kept busy working with one of my favorite Casting Directors and mentors, Nick Chiodini, creator of People Farm, Inc.  casting a couple of Pilots for The Disney Channel!
I love what I do. I love to work hard, and I love to play hard!  

I just got back from a weekend get-away to Vegas with my B! We had a blast! It's always fun to come to Vegas since it's so close to LA. (It would be like going from Dallas to Houston for the weekend)We like to hang out in the House of Blues Foundation Room, which has the best view in Vegas!

Another one of our favorite things we love is the House of Blues Gospel Brunch, which has a Sunday southern style brunch along with amazing live gospel entertainment! Cheese grits, biscuits & gravy, shrimp, red beans and rice...it's good ole' Southern comfort food to die for!
if you haven't gone, you should check it out any Sunday at any House of Blues Venue!

Bryan also took me to a fabulous show at the Mirage to see The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show It was amazing! We also went to a sold out show at the House of Blues music hall to see Brandon Flowers. (lead singer of the Killers)

 Oh, and did I mention that I met Cee Lo Green? Very nice man. :)

Aunt T and Uncle B's Trip To Dallas

Bryan and I flew to Dallas for a weekend visit with the Perkins Family! It was a quick trip but so much fun! We love being Aunt T and Uncle B to Reese! My family means the world to me, so it is very important that I spend time with them any chance I can! We had such a great time playing with Reese, who is almost 2 now! 

She ADORES her uncle B, and all weekend she would point to him and say, "B!" When we first got to Dallas, Pam and Kevin took us to the Children's museum where we got to play with boxes, color, and see all kinds of cool stuff! It was so much fun to see her so grown up, walking around the museum so curious about everything, coloring on her own, and just watching her grow into a smart little independent cookie! 

 

   

                   

Reese walked around all weekend and would point to Bryan and say, "B!" 

That weekend it was my brother in law's birthday so Bryan got hooked up with tickets to take them to the House of Blues Gospel Brunch show. Kevin He had to go on stage and dance when we made sure to point out it was his birthday! Even Reese even got to go up on stage with her daddy! She had so much fun, and I'm telling you, this baby can praise the Lord! She LOVED the gospel music! Her hands were held up high in the air as she swayed back and forth to the good ole' Southern gospel songs! Her jaw dropped when a singer came up to her and Kevin to lead him to the stage for his "birthday moment" She was SO excited to be picked! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen! I think we have a little missionary on our hands! 

We also went to the park one day and had a picnic and played on the playground. I was NOT used to the Texas heat! I think California weather has spoiled me! Despite being hot and sweaty all weekend, I didn't let it stop me from playing on the playground!

     

          

     

          

Uncle B bought Reese her very first swimming pool to play in on Memorial Day, also our last day in Dallas. She was SO excited to see what her Uncle B got her! She stood and watched Bryan (who was sweating and working so hard to blow this thing up!) She just kept saying, "B! Pool! B!...Pool! 

Once it was all set up and ready to go, she had the time of her life in her very own elephant pool! Thanks uncle B! After an amazing weekend in Dallas, we flew back to LA with tons of memories to cherish forever. God is so good and has blessed me with an amazing family! I've decided I can't go longer than a couple months without seeing my niece, so I've already booked a flight back to Dallas to hang out with Reese next month in July! You think THIS Aunt is going to get life get in the way of visiting her family? Love, "Aunt Tazzy"
