Today was pretty much just listening to my mp3 player in the car on the way home. I think It took us 5 hours to get home cause all the traffic! LA traffic is the WORST!!! But I can't wait till tomorrow cause it's a holiday weekend and we have some of our friends from up in LA staying the weekend so that should be fun

Ok I just beat my brother by SOOOO much at video games! I was playing the drums on expert and he was playing guitar on expert and we were playing like the longest song in the game. I beat him 300,000 to 150,000! But yeah, other than that, today has been pretty much laid back so far. My friends Craig and Krystal are coming over tonight and are staying for a few days. My mom and dad are cooking a big dinner for tomorrow so everything is pretty chill at my house. But I'm mostly happy because it's the first day of vacation!!! Woo Hoo!

Well big surprise. I am in the car AGAIN. This time I am on my way to LA to take a dance class. I love to take Hip Hop. It's my favorite style of dance and it's great exercise. I get to see all my friends there too so it's pretty cool. I would take class every day if I could. I am on a home school program so I can do all my school work in the car or on the set if I need to. It's really cool. My teacher Joy is the best.

This week I'm going up to LA with my mom for some important meetings and such. Today is so far pretty laid back, but I have the drive up to LA today which takes SOOOOOO long! I think it's like 3 hours one way or something. But it's all good cause I have my mp3 player with ALL my favorite music to listen to on the way there. I think I have like 300 something songs! Not a lot for now, but I just got it a few weeks ago so yeah

Today I went into the studio to record a new version of "My Girl". I don't know what we did it for but my manager Starr wanted it so we recorded it! She definitely knows how to get the best out of me. She knows so much about the music business. The engineer was really cool. His name was Nick and we talked about a whole bunch of things! Everything between the music programs he was using to get the sound levels right on the song and all the music equipment he uses in the recording studio, to roller coasters and theme parks. All in all, he is a cool dude!

Wow today is going to be a busy day! This morning I'm going back to the recording studio to finish up "My Girl", then I'm going to pick up my friend Jacque and we're going to go rehearse for a show I have on Sunday. Then later tonight, I'm going to my first acting class in Hollywood. Oh, my acting teacher John Homa is so FUNNY!!!!!!! He can do so many voices and act like so many people, he is just hilarious! Lol! Plus there's probably other little things I'm going to be doing today that I won't know until last minute but those are the few MAJOR things today.

I just had a singing lesson with the best singing teacher EVER! His name is Kalil and he has taught me so much in the very first lesson! He is just awesome!!!! Today we worked on vibrato and working up into my falsetto because my voice just changed so it's really hard to get those notes! He gave me some weird exercises to do. But they work wonders. Hopefully I will see him next week

Such a fun day today! My friends Jacque, Fivel and I hung out! But before that I had I meeting with my managers Starr and Lori and we talked for a little bit, then we were off to get my hair styled. My hair was always in my eyes so my stylist fixed it so it wouldn't be. Well anyways, back to the mall! We kind of just stood there for a little bit because we didn't know what we wanted to do. So FINALLY we decided to get something to eat. We went upstairs to the food court where Fivel and I got Chinese, and Jacque got a sandwich. It was kind of funny though because while we were there Jacque came in with this fat foot-long sub! For some reason I think that's funny! I don't know why! Ha ha. After we finished eating we went to the movies and chilled there until we had to get Fivel back to her house. It was pretty fun today

Today was pretty busy! My day started with a performance I had at the Young Artists Awards in Hollywood. The whole thing was pretty cool! I went with my manager Starr and my 2 dancers Jacque and Fivel. We got there and walked down the red carpet, where these guys with big cameras would go up to you and ask you a few questions and then take your picture. It was my FIRST time doing anything like that and I was a little nervous. You see it on TV all the time but to actually do it is another story. It was pretty sweet then when we got the end of the red carpet, you were given a table number, and then you would turn a corner, and there would be a HUGE ballroom with about 150 tables!!! So after u were seated, a waiter would come over and serve u this I liked a LOT! Inside my head I was going, " food!!!!" lol. So after everyone was done eating the awards started. There were so many people from so many different shows and movies there, and they were all SO nice. Well anyways, about half way through I was called up to perform, and of course, I rocked it! The crowd was so good to! It was just a good show in general so after I was done performing I had to run off stage and jump in the car because I was late to finish recording! So my mom zoomed over there and, luckily, we were only about 5 minutes late. When we got there, I said hi to everyone, and ran into the booth to finished the song

Today was very...... tiring! My dad took me on a hike up El Cajon Mountain. Usually the trail isn't that hard to hike. But the thing is, it rained for about 5 days straight a few days ago which, means the trail all washed out! Instead of hiking up El Cajon Mountain, it was more like climbing! I'm serious! We were on our hands and knees climbing up this mountain! And we didn't go at the best time either. We went in the MIDDLE of the day! And that's the worst time to go hiking because the sun is out the most in the middle of the day, so it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO hot! And it wasn't a short hike either... I think it was about 14 miles round trip. But we made it to the top and back alive so it's all good I'm just VERY tired! I have blisters all over my feet from the hiking boots. Ouch.

WOW! Today was crazy! I went on a school tour in San Diego with my friend Big Willie G. It was fun and all, but we did 5 shows in 1 day! Crazy, huh? And to add to the insanity, the crowd was wild! They had me up on a lunch table in a corner trying to get my autograph. I am NOT used to that....yet. ! I think I signed about 6,000 different pictures that day! It was actually pretty fun. I got to perform with Lil' J from "That's So Raven". He is so funny!

Hey everybody, just chillin' in a hotel today. This is such torture! Our hotel is right across from my favorite theme park! But the thing is it's going to be closed the whole time I'm staying here because it's the off season. Oh well... I guess I will just stare at it from the window... lol just kidding. Not much going on here just chillin' with Jacque in the hotel room. I'm about to go swimming so I have to go. Later

Wow! So far today has been interesting. I just met with my new manager Lori. We went shopping for some new outfits for me. It was actually kind of fun. I mean I thought it would take us about 4 hours to get what she wanted, but we were in and out of the mall in about 30 minutes. She knew EXACTLY what she wanted to get for me! Lori rocks.
