Look for me on the big screen! Seriously!

They film a lot of movies here in Louisiana and they happen to currently be working on the following one below. This is a big time movie too. One day Jeff heard on the radio that they needed background extras for the movie so we all went and applied. I got a call last week that they wanted me to be an extra in a bridal shop scene. The scene consists of just me and one other person, so I should really be seen! Gerard Butler runs right past me in the movie and gestures towards us. I'm not the starstruck kind of person; to me they are just normal people like anyone else. I have to say though that it was a pretty fun day hanging out in the same room as Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel. I'm talking a small room; I talked to Jessica Biel and they were rehearsing their lines right next to me. Also, I am sitting in the room waiting to shoot the scene and Dennis Quaid walks in with his little girl. He's not in the movie but for some reason he was there. When I arrived for the day they sent me to wardrobe and then to hair and makeup which was fun. I ended up wearing one of my own dresses but they wanted to okay it. It was interesting to see how they film movies and how it all works. So look for me in "Playing the Field" when Gerard Butler pulls up to a bridal shop and runs in. I am wearing a blue dressing and looking at wedding dresses. It will probably be a while before it comes out but when it does... Another great part of it was that they paid me for it all and gave me a catered lunch.

Gerard Butler Will Be ‘Playing The Field’ With Uma Thurman and Jessica Biel

For all you Gerard Butler fans hoping the star of 300 and RocknRolla had grown out of hisUgly Truth/Bounty Hunter romantic rut, we’re very sorry. He’s just signed on to star inPlaying the Field, a “soccer comedy,” along with Uma Thurman and Jessica Biel. Butler will play a former soccer pro who agrees to coach his son’s team and finds himself fending off gorgeous soccer moms. Biel will play his ex-wife who is getting re-married and Thurman will be one of the soccer moms. Gabriele Muccino (The Pursuit of Happyness, Seven Pounds) will direct a script by Robbie Fox (So I Married An Axe Murdered, In the Army Now).

On another note, we went to Baton Rouge this last weekend to visit some friends from when we used to live there. It was a great break from Jeff's studying and we had a lot of fun! We went to a really cool park that had a little water section for kids. Annabelle had a blast playing in it.

We really enjoyed visiting with friends. Annabelle is so sweet and loves giving hugs to others. She will just walk right up to them and hug them.

We also went to New Orleans one day and it reminded us of how much we really dislike that city. We pretty much went for the good southern food and then got out of there as soon as possible. It was still a fun time.

Annabelle was being shy to the waiter at the Gumbo Shop.
