Decisions and Changes

I lost my job. I haven't really looked for a new one. I don't think I am going to.

Our budget is going to have to get A LOT tighter.

Bradley, Brittney and Lily came to stay with us. Lily is a genius baby. No seriously she is.

I am going to start homeschooling Kailyn in the fall. She is the most excited I have seen her in a looooong time.

I backed into Brad and Brittney's car in my driveway. (6th time I have backed into a stationary object in a driveway- well 5th- one time it was a moving object- Travis was actually backing out behind me and I just backed right into him).

Travis amazes me with how hard he works and the example he is to everyone around him.

Tyler is applying for Tarheel Challenge- it is a program through the National Guard. If he gets accepted he will live there from July through December.

We only have one more car payment!!!!!!!

Kailyn is really surprising us on the soccer field.

I started drinking caffeine again. It had been over a year. I know I know.

Allias is getting braces. The Orthodontist said he is very lucky we brought him in because his cross bite is so bad that he would end up with permanent jaw problems as an adult if we hadn't. He also has several other "issues" the braces are going to correct.

I have been cooking my kids a real breakfast every morning.

I gained ten pounds. (not because of the breakfast- I don't really eat what I cook them) I hate looking and feeling like this. I started jogging. It hurts. Bad.

The next time I blog it will be my 100th post. Hmmmmm the biggest decision of all. What to write??? Ahhhhh the pressure!!!!

Hi 5

I am still confused about the theme. What exactly is "Rat Pack"?
I am also so very sad that because of the addition of Kara (whom I hate) we only get one song per contestant when in ALL other seasons we got two at this point. Why do we need a fourth judge again?

Last night was full of Paula using words I swear she had to have on note cards in front of her and they still didn't make her sound intelligent, Kara enjoying all things sleazy and Simon disagreeing with all the other judges just for the sake of disagreeing. Add that to Danny sounding like he wanted to throttle someone during a "love" song and it really wasn't that enjoyable of a show.
I heard Taylor Hicks is going to perform on tonight's result show. Next year they should have him and Danny do a duet.

Things I liked; Jamie Foxx as a mentor. He seemed to actually have real advise to give even if I liked Matt's song better in the higher octave. I also loved loved loved Alison's hair, she didn't look like a troll doll for the first time this season. But my favorite thing about Idol last night- that made me jump up and down and scream like a 12 year old David Archuletta fan was the commercial announcing that So You Think You Can Dance starts May 21st!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottom three will be Kris, Alison and Matt with Matt going home.
I voted for the Cocker Spaniel.

I am excited for next week's rock week theme with Slash from Guns N Roses! Too bad they aren't just doing G N R songs now that would be UH MAZING!!!!

Some like it Hot

Wowsers the past couple of days have been TOASTY!!! Over 90 degrees each day.
On Saturday Brittney and I took Kailyn, Tyler and Lily to the strawberry festival and sometimes I seriously wonder why I try to go on "outings". It was BLAZING hot and wayyyy over crowded not to mention that I spent 20 dollars in less then two hours. We spent most of our time maneuvering through the crowd and trying to find Tyler to go home (he had permission to be off on his own). After we left we realized we hadn't eaten a single Strawberry! Oh and we FORGOT the stroller!
The girls did get to see Strawberry Shortcake, eat ice cream and jump.

I took this picture as we were walking into the festival. If you look in the top left hand corner you can see Tyler (greenish shirt/black pants) walking away. It was pretty much the last I saw of him until we left to go home. He found a group of kids from school that were way cooler then us to hang out with.

Kailyn had a soccer game that afternoon and she did sooooo good. She almost made a goal and she had an assist! She also played awesome defense and HUSTLED the whole game right up until the end even though it was incredibly insanely horribly hot outside. The last few minutes of the game pretty much everyone on the field was walking but Kailyn and one other boy were still running after the ball. I was really proud of her!

Sunday evening we all went to the park. We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner and the kids (big kids too) played.

Here are Kailyn and Brittney getting ready to head out the door. I gave Brittney this shirt and it looks soooo stinkin' cute on her!

The menfolk.

It had cooled down very nicely and really was a perfect evening! We ended up staying there until it got dark and we were all dragging a little bit this morning. Well I was anyway.

I don't know what it is but EVERY TIME we go to the park we end up with little children who's parents aren't watching them hovering around us. Last time a little boy followed us everywhere we went and kept jumping on my dog. Maisy was seriously about to bite the kid. His other option would have been for me to strangle him. I am not even kidding when I say someone could have taken him home and his parents would have never noticed. It took us for-ev-er to even find out who they were and honestly they were all cuddled up together with their backs turned on the playground the ENTIRE time.

This little girl kept asking us for food.

She came back several times asking if the food was done yet. Later she fell off the playground equipment and was holding her arm bawling for at least ten minutes before her dad came wandering over from the soccer field to see what was the matter with her. I am pretty sure the only reason why he came to check on her is because she was surrounded by other parents and kids trying to help.

It is so much fun having Bradley, Brittney and Lily here! We have missed having family close soooo much.

*I know several of these pics are blurry but I loved them anyway

In Honor of the Creator

I just read an Earth Day blog that was seriously perfect in every way. It is the blog of a friend of a friend but man is she brilliant! I went ahead and copied and pasted the whole thing here but if you click on the title it will bring you directly to the post. I am seriously going to have a t-shirt made with the line "Worship the Creator not the created."


In Honor of the CREATOR! (by Maren's friend Carrie)
Is today Earth Day? I crossed it out of my calendar and another made up holiday...but I will let you guess which one. My son and I were in the garden yesterday talking about the earth and our responsibility to take care of it and all the creatures on it. He started in with mind-numbing talking points about the earth "being our friend" and "taking care of us". What the what?!? I was done. It is seriously like a religion with super orthodox followers. It is one of two religions you can be zealous about and still be PC. I am so over EVERY cartoon/show on Disney doing the "green thing". We recycle. We try not to waste. We use earth-friendly products in our yard. I even tried the awful eco-friendly dish washing soap from Costco. We don't litter.So, I had to tell my sweet little boy that the earth is awesome (with a little A). I explained to him how God made these things for us...and for us to take care of. We worship the CREATOR not the created.Whenever I see something in nature that just takes my breath away, like the lightning last night, I say a prayer of gratitude to Him. And I do that every day, not just on some made up holiday. Don't hug a tree...say a prayer and help your neighbor.

Top Seven Take Two

I totally know who I want to win now! Kris was UH MAZING last night. My votes only went to him and will only go to him from here on out. He took a super overplayed, overrated song and made it totally lovable. It was pretty fantastic. Did you notice how crazy short Kris is though? Ryan (who is about five foot nine) is taller then him by at least an inch or two!
Lil sounded terrible and her outfit was worse. I don't know what she isn't getting when the judges tell her she doesn't sound original. She hasn't sounded good since Hollywood and even then I didn't like her. I am sure Vote for the Worst is super proud of her this week. I just checked thier site and they even say she doesn't get this show. LOL! I am now beyond ready for her to be GONE.
Danny was booorrrring and the dancing of course made me laugh. I thought he was actually off pitch in several spots and was surprised to hear the judges say he is always pitch perfect.
Allison and Adam were both decent and I think they have what it takes to make it in the industry. I am sure they will be fine regardless of how far they get on the show, although I still see Adam as more of a Broadway kind of guy.
Matt super disappointed me with his song choice. I was just waiting for Simon to say they wasted the save on him. It was just really really bad. I really hope that he manages to stick around one more week to redeem himself but I that is probably just wishful thinking.
Anoop proved again he can only sing ballads and wow that last note was painful. He totally knew it too- his facial expression was priceless. I laughed so hard when Ryan commented on his eyebrow job LIVE on national TV. Hilarious!!! I was literally rolling!
Paula was also in rare form- her comments were even more off the wall then usual and I was with Simon in needing a translator. And Randy is an absolute IDIOT if he thinks this is the best top seven they have had. I don't think it is the worst top seven but I am pretty sure it is a far cry from the best.
Dial Idol is saying the whole thing is too close to call but I think the bottom three will be Anoop, Matt and Lil with Anoop and Matt going home. I think Lil will get enough votes from Vote for the Worst and the other sympathy voters to stick around one more week. Looks like Ryan is going to be right in his top 4 prediction of Kris, Adam, Danny and Allison. Interesting........
If it were up to me the perfect finale would be Kris and Allison with Kris as the winner but yeah that isn't going to happen. I don't know if I will be able to stomach a Danny, Adam finale. ICKY!
You know what is funny I have been thinking and the single guys are the ones who get all the votes. Look at Daughtry and Michael Johns they both were mad talented and got voted off wayyyy too early. I was shocked in both instances. I guess since I am already taken I don't base my votes on dreams of hooking up with one of these guys.
Here is Michael John's first single for your listening pleasure.


And If you haven't heard the song he did with Brooke White it is totally worth listening to as well. It is called Life is Okay.

LOVE IT

Best Friends

Yesterday Lily was hugging Kailyn and then looked up at her and said "Ur my best friend"

It is great to have a best friend!
Best friends spend time playing with you. This morning Kailyn was getting up for school and Lily was at the bottom of her bed saying, "Kailyn, what do you want to play? Dollies? huh? come on."

Best friends will even wash your feet. Look at that precious little face!

Best friends share their Easter candy with you- Kailyn has been soooo good about sharing all of her things with Lily- even the things she just got for Easter.

Best friends act silly with you. I was sitting on the couch under a blanket and the girls decided to turn my legs and the blanket into a nest and then a tent.

Best friends are the best!

SOCCER!!!!

Kailyn decided she wanted to play sports this spring so we signed her up for soccer. She has played in two games and they lost both by one point but Kailyn has really surprised us with her toughness out on the field. She has run up and down without complaining and even took a couple hard hits in both games with no tears. I think this may be good for her. After every game and practice she tells us how much fun she had so that is all that really matters.

Getting ready for the game

Look at that HUSTLE!

She is #1

Right after she "blocked" the ball with her stomach.

American Idol Prediction

Unless Lil is the one voted off-tonight will be the night the judges use their save.

Seriously?

American Idol was seriously beyond boring tonight. Pretty much everyone was beyond dull to watch and though he has an amazing voice, Adam scared me. And why in the heck is freak show Quentin Tarantino mentoring the contestants- what on earth does he know about singing?

I voted for Kris and Matt just because I like them not because I thought they were any good. Well Kris was okay (I do love the song he sang) but yeah they all pretty much sucked.

Vote for the Worst is rooting for Lil now which really annoys me because I think they may help keep her around another week and I am soooo ready for her to go home.

I hate having four judges- I want to hear what Simon has to say every time and I don't want to hear what Kara has to say any of the time.

I wont mention anything about Danny because my sister n law says I have a shriveled up cold heart but here is a little blast from the past for your viewing pleasure


My prediction is Lil, Anoop and Matt in the bottom three- I think that between the fan base she already has and the vote for the worst crowd Lil will edge out and it will be Anoop going home.

Dial Idol was wrong last week so I am really really hoping they are wrong again this time. If Kris goes home I will be wayyy upset.

This is one of the most unoriginal, boring group of contestants ever. I am ready for So You Think You Can Dance to start.

Easter!

I know that my Redeemer lives!!!!! I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that He knows me and loves me and that He suffered so much so that He could help me through the trials and tribulations of this world and so that I could be forgiven of my sins. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and that through His Son Jesus Christ I can become everything I am meant to be.
One of my favorite scriptures is in Alma Chapter 7 versus 11 and 12
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

We had a GREAT Easter weekend and took LOTS of pictures.

Saturday, Brittney and I took Kailyn and Lily to a little petting zoo. It was put on by a Children's Christian Ministry- they taught the kids all about the true meaning of Easter and let them pet the baby animals.

After church on Sunday we took some pictures outside. The weather was soooo perfect.

Allias giving Lily some lovin'

Kailyn in her Eater dress. She and Lily actually matched. Brittney took a few pictures of them together that she is going to post soon.

All the girls! Love love love this picture. We are tooooo cute!

My psycho family. Kailyn is trying to show off her fingernails- Brittney painted them for her.

It has been a long time since I got all three kids in a picture together!

After church the kids got their baskets and Kailyn and Travis painted Easter eggs.

Kailyn's favorite book is The Penderwicks and in one of the books there are two rabbits; Yaz and Carla. She bought "Yaz" with her allowance a month or so ago and the Easter Bunny brought "Carla" today. She was pretty excited. Lily got a "rabbit" too- she named hers Lexi.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

Comparisons

This is the post where I describe my dogs and you get to know my children better. We have three children, we also have three dogs. Our children from oldest to youngest are ; Tyler, Allias and Kailyn. Our dogs from oldest to youngest are Tucker, Maisy and Molly.

Tucker is a wanderer. If you leave a door open and turn your back on him he will be gone in an instant. He always comes home once he has worn himself out and has only gotten into serious trouble one or two times. Once he got stuck in a tree for a few days, we could hear him crying but had no idea where he was. We finally found him up in the top of a tree that was slightly bent. He had followed his nose up there but couldn't figure out how to turn around and come back down. You can't leave food out if Tucker is in the house. The second he thinks you aren't paying attention he will snatch it up and be gone. Sometimes he will even go for it while you are watching. He will eat anything and everything. He just can't control his impulsiveness. He is very good with other dogs and loves to be around them, he pretty much loves everyone but doesn't always understand personal space. He can be very loud and spends a lot of time sleeping. He is also very messy and likes to drag his stuff all over the place. Our yard has his toys and blankets strung from one end to the other.

Maisy is very loyal but can be overly defensive. Maisy will never do anything she isn't supposed to in front of your face but sometimes she will try and get away with something, especially if you aren't home to catch her in the act. She is usually very mellow but if she starts tearing around the house she has a hard time settling down. She is very very good at keeping Tucker and Molly in line. We can always count on her to play with Molly or chase Tucker down when he runs off. She loves the air conditioning, in the car she always wants to have her face right up to the fan and at home she likes to sleep on the vents. Maisy is very athletic and one of the first things she learned as a puppy was to fetch. She loves it when you throw toys up in the air and she will catch them with her front paws.

Molly is super cute and loving but can be feisty and rebellious as well. Sometimes she acts very submissive, is a a very good listener and all she wants to curl up in your lap and get snuggled and then other times she just runs away from you and thinks everything is a game. She has a hard time calming down if she gets riled up and can be very loud. She is also sooooooo easily distracted. You take her outside to go to the bathroom and if there is any distraction at all; the cat, a car, kids, even bugs in the grass she totally loses focus on what she needs to be doing. Molly always looks a little messy and likes to make messes too.

** small disclaimer** I read this to my kids before posting it they thought it was hilarious and totally true.

Fast Talk/Idol

Okay I have to be super quick because I have family coming into town and have so much to do before they get here. My brother in law Bradley and his adorably perfect wife Brittney and super cute daughter Lily are coming to stay with us for awhile. Be prepared for this blog to get pretty silly because Brittney and I have a little too much fun when we get together.



I didn't have a chance to watch and vote last night but I watched this morning while I was cleaning. Very quickly here is what I thought

Danny- I just don't think this guy will sell a lot of albums. I mean it wasn't terrible or off pitch or anything like that it was just forgettable and unoriginal. I felt the same way about Taylor Hicks when he was on the show and couldn't believe that he won. I remember thinking there is no way this guy is going to sell albums and if you look at the numbers his career really hasn't gone anywhere. Taylor's album has sold like 700,000 copies. Chris Daughtery who came in third place that same season has sold over 4 million copies of his album and Season four winner Carrie Underwood sold over 6 million of her first album and 3 million of her second. Even Kelly Pickler who came in 6th sold more copies of her first album. Compare that to artists like Beyonce who sold 8 million copies of her first solo album or Justin Timberlake who's last album has sold almost 9 million copies. It also has to do with longevity. I just don't think Danny has what it takes to last in the industry.

Okay so I said this was going to be quick and now I am rambling. I guess I am just frustrated because I think Danny is going to make it to the finals and he just isn't that great.

Kris- I don't know why they have them sing out in the crowd like that. It totally takes away from the song. I thought the same thing the other week when Matt did it. I think he made the song somewhat original but it wasn't his best performance for sure. I still like him a lot though. I am trying to figure out what the heck Simon is talking about when he says indulgent. Doesn't indulgent mean like spoiling someone. I have no idea how the word even fits.

Lil- It is time for Lil to go. Honestly she really isn't emerging as a star. It is like Karaoke night every week. At least the judges are keeping it real. I wish they would do the same thing with Danny. I do like the wig or weave or whatever they have done to her hair.

Anoop- It was beautiful but I am getting the feeling ballads are the only thing he can sing well.

Scott- It started out okay and I was thinking man this kid is really listening to the vocal coaches but then it got just dreadful. And his little speeches are so tacky. Whatever.

Allison- This girl is talented period. Her voice totally reminds me of Kelly Clarkson or Pink. I personally don't listen to either of them but there are a lot of people out there that do and I think Allison has the potential to do really well. I hated her dress though. I wonder what they will do to help her personality shine through a little bit now that Simon said America needs to get to know her better.

Matt- Totally brilliant. I think Matt is probably the MOST underrated on the show. He really has a fantastic voice and really showed it during this performance. I hope he can stick around long enough to get the publicity he deserves to do well.

Adam- WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW yeah he could totally have a hit single with that right now. It was sooooo original and soooooo "relevant" as the judges would say. I LOVED it. I am buying it on Itunes right now and I so so so so hope that if it comes down to Adam and Danny in the finals that America gets smart and makes the right choice. He really did deserve that standing O from Simon. I am trying to remember if I have ever seen Simon give some one a standing ovation before. I so glad I changed my dvr to record an extra ten minutes. I would have been bummed if I had missed that.

I am a little scared to see what Adam will do with being famous. He is seriously flamboyant and probably the most risqué contestant Idol has ever had. The pictures and videos floating around of this guy are ummmm well interesting to say the least. But he does have MAD talent and I do listen to Queen regularly.

If I could have voted I probably would have voted for Matt just because I think he really deserves to be in this competition. I probably would have thrown a few votes in there for Kris as well just because I like him period. My favorite of the night was Adam but I seriously doubt he is going to have any problem getting votes.

My predictions for bottom three- Lil, Scott and Anoop with Scott going home.

Ack I just checked Dial idol and yeah I am not happy about what I am seeing there. It looks like the vote was way close. I hate it when I don't vote.

Vote for the Worst chose Scott as their pick this week and with as close as the vote looks they may have given him an edge. I hope not. A judges save may be needed this week.

Refrigerator Magnets and shopping lists

I was just looking through the things that are on my fridge right now when I saw that Kailyn had written on a picture of Jesus with pink sharpie I ♥ him. I hope she knows how much He ♥'s her too. There was also one of those shopping list pads with a magnet and on that she had written, pictures of Jesus with little children. I guess I better pick some of those up the next time I am out shopping.

Clifford the Big Red Dog

Last week was the book fair at Kailyn's school. I volunteer every year with the set up and then work the parent's night. This year when I showed up on parent's night the librarian asked me how I felt about dressing up. I was like ummm not very good. She was having a hard time finding someone to dress up as Clifford and take pictures with the kids. The money raised from the pictures was to help buy books for kids who couldn't afford them and also to buy books for the classrooms. I told her I would call Allias and ask him if he would do it. I seriously thought he would say no but figured it was worth the try if it kept me out of that Clifford suit. Travis answered and told me that he didn't think Allias would want to do it- they were getting ready to do Allias' favorite thing in the whole wide world- throw the football around and then play some basketball. I told him to ask anyway and to our surprise Allias actually agreed.

I just have to say he did such a FANTASTIC job. He was soooo into it and he even made kids who were scared of him at first love him and follow him around. He was very concerned about "not ruining the magic". He kept coming up to me to make sure his feet were fully covered and that no other parts of him were showing. He also wouldn't let Kailyn tell anyone that Clifford was her brother. Even the older kids.

The funniest thing was when someone he knew from the middle school would come in and he would walk right up to them and stand like two inches away. It would totally freak people out. Then he would call them by name. I didn't have my camera but I would have loved to get some pictures of some of their faces, it was too too funny. For those of you who know Marcus Juarez ask him how he reacted when Clifford the Big Red Dog started stalking him. There was also a a teacher who had a serious aversion to him and he kept asking her for a hug and trying to talk to her. I was laughing my butt off.

He really did a great job and is soooo great with kids. A couple of the kids cried when their parents took them home because they didn't want to leave. He actually asked the librarian if she had someone to do it at the next family night and volunteered to help her out. I think a job at Disney is in his future.

And then there were nine

I actually always look forward to weeks where they have to choose popular songs and try to make them sound original. To me it is the week where the stars stand out from the Karaoke singers. Someone asked me recently if I type this while I am watching. The answer to that is no. I write down my thoughts on a piece of paper while each contestant is singing and then type it up the next day.
So here are my semi-live opinions
Anoop looks so angry! It is hard for me to focus on his vocals when he looks like he wants to punch someone. Isn't this supposed to be a love song or something.
Megan is singing one of my favorite songs but she is all over the place with it. Honestly I think Megan could do well outside of American Idol. I don't think this competition is quite right for her. I agree with the judges that she should have sang something by Adelle and even though Paula is barely audible tonight I get what she is saying about the stool. Vote for the Worst is pretty scared this week. They are pushing hard to get people to vote for Megan. I don't know how much it is going to help.
Here is Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill singing Turn the Lights Down Low for those of you who don't know how GREAT this song really is.


I just saw a sign in the audience that said GO GO GOKEY. hahahahaha!!! Now that cracks me up. Danny just bores me to tears when he sings. It reminds me of good karaoke or something. He isn't making the song sound fresh or new or anything. I always want to hear the words cruise ship or wedding singer from Simon in regards to Danny but he keeps disappointing me. After the judges gave their critique I was like maybe I am being to hard on the guy so I rewound and I tried really really hard to feel all this emotion they were talking about. I am just not feeling it. At all. If this guy wins I may throw up.
I LOVE Allison's hair and her outfit. She looks wayyy cute. She totally made the song sound new and original at the beginning in the soft parts and I really liked it but then she started shouting it and it all kind of fell apart. I am not really feeling the guitar either. It makes her seem kind of awkward or something. I can't believe the judges are ripping on her outfit! What the heck?
Scott has new hair and it looks kind of like something out of a bad horror flick. This is one of his better vocals, maybe his best. He must be listening to his vocal coaches. It was probably good enough to keep him around another week.
Matt sounds wayyyy rough to me tonight. Almost like he is losing his voice or something. Not good after being in the bottom three last week. I am not ready for him to go home yet.
Lil Rounds looks nice and I like her hair. Her vocals sound totally off to me. This is probably the WORST I have ever heard her sing. It is boring in parts and then over the top in parts. Just a mess all around. She is lucky there are others who sound just as bad. I am totally shocked that the judges even slightly liked it. It was a train wreck to me. Her daughter is way stinkin cute though and awwww Lil is crying. I bet she will get some votes just because of that.
Adam is a RIOT!! I am getting a whole Steven Tyler from Aerosmith vibe from Adam tonight. Oh and Paula agrees. I sooo need to be a judge on this show.
WOW Kris can play the piano too- love it! Love this kid and his Mad Crazy vocals! That seriously was the best of the night for me- well besides for that weird face he made at the end. He is very very good. Glad Kara used her fingers to help her count this time. Goodness.

Paula really seemed out of it tonight, even more then usual, I honestly didn't understand a word she said and she looks like she got a nose job or something. She was so incoherent that I stopped trying to make sense of what she was bumbling on about.
I predict Anoop, Megan and Matt =C will be in the bottom three with Megan going home.
According to Dial Idol it is going to be very very close.
DAVID COOK is going to be on the results show tonight!!!!! I am soooo excited.

I voted for Kris and Matt with several accidental votes for Adam because I got his and Kris' numbers messed up. Thank goodness I actually like Adam otherwise I would have kicked myself for voting for someone I hate. I really don't like most of the top ten this year. Usually by the time it gets to top ten I am like oooo I don't want anyone to go home, this year I am like ack I don't want to hear this person sing ever again. I love Kris. Adam is crazy and really does have some pretty insane vocal skills- plus I can't wait to see what he will come up with next. I think Matt has talent and I want him to stick around. Allison is decent but honestly I could care less about the rest. If I were to put the contestants in order from best to worst my list would look like this.
1. Kris 2. Adam 3. Matt 4. Allison 5. Megan 6. Anoop 7. Scott 8. Lil Rounds 9. Danny
