on my Youtube account and wanted him to audition for the show. 
Well, here's my blog that I wrote on Myspace.. enjoy and we missed
you all!!!! Love, Val

> Okay, so we took off to NYC on Saturday morning, and alittle later
than I had anticipated.  When you have 5 kids, it’s hard to have
a "set schedule" and we left at about 5:00 a.m.  It’s only 6 hours
and 37 minutes from us, according to Google maps and directions, so I
thought we were okay.  Well, we were..and I drove all the way up and
being that I’m into "adventure" I don’t mind it. Casey sat in the
back with the kids and loved it..he never gets to "hang out" with the
kids anymore because of work.  He also kept our 2 year old, Blake,
quiet for most of the trip..haha. Method to my madness..? I think
so..
> Okay, so we were supposed to be at the Javitt’s Center, at 5:15
p.m. for Brennon’s audition appointment.  We got into NYC at 3:00
or so, and my PLAN was for us to go to the hotel that I reserved
online, in Jersey City, which is about 5 miles from New
York...THROUGH THE LINCOLN TUNNEL.  Okay, so if you’ve been there,
you get that joke..LOL. What a crock ..that traffic..okay, so
anyways..we go to the hotel, after looking for it, for an HOUR and I
had to go to a gas station (you know me, I talk to ANYONE) and got
some guy driving an ice cream truck to give me directions. He was
Italian and about 60 and the sweetest man.  He had me follow him but
I lost him and the ice cream truck..we were all laughing so hard and
Casey got it all on tape..me talking to the ice cream man.  :) Okay,
so I lost the ice cream man and the traffic had gotten so bad that I
said "screw it" and I would ask someone somewhere where the Ramada
Inn was. How hard could it be? Well, little did I know that about 60%
of New York and New Jersey speak another language so I stopped and
asked a guy, who I would say was from the Middle East.  He didn’t
understand what a Ramada was, (thought it was something you eat,
probably) but he didn’t have an answer.  So, I used my sniffer and
got lost and then finally FOUND the hotel ..on the busy city street
in JERSEY CITY and this hotel had to be the most inconvenient hotel
around. I didn’t care, though..I just wanted to get our stuff
inside and change my STINKY driving clothes and change the kids, and
then off we would go. Oh no..didn’t happen that way..Casey didn’t
like it and suggested we just keep driving to Brennon’s audition
and then find another hotel later, afterwards. Oh my gosh..I stunk, I
had a "fruit of the loom" men’s v-neck T SHIRT on, my jogging
pant,s and my pink and brown vans!!! LOL! I couldn’t walk around in
NYC like that..but we did, and I found a parking lot (found the
parking lot that said "Javitt’s Center parking".) so I
thought..hell, can’t be that far. Wronggggggg.. it was about 2
miles from the Javitt’s Center.  Picture it..tired kids, walking,
for 2 miles..LMAO. Yeah, it was fun.
>
> Okay, so we get in there, and that place is huggggggggggeee.. We
found the "America’s Got Talent" table and down in the basement
part, there’s all kinds of singers and strange but true acts.  It
was awesome..I had to fill out all kinds of extra paperwork because
we had the kids and Casey going down there, too. 
>
> We get down there, and they told me to say "that he had an
appointment" ..and we were early..by about 30 minutes or so.  So, we
got down there and were put into a "holding room".  It’s a room
with about 100 other people, some waiting like us, and some
interviewing with producers or helpers, with a video camera and a
light. I guess that’s the part at the beginning of the show, too. 
Okay, so we are sitting and waiting for anyone to acknowledge us and
that "Brennon has an appointment" and nothing. So, just about two
seconds later, Blake throws one of his 2 year old tantrums to get
out of his "stroller" and run around.  Poor kid..he’d be cooped up
in the car all day and then a stroller.  I’d been mad, too. 
Well, Casey ended up taking Blake and the Haileigh and Connor and Lil
Casey out for a walk. I felt bad, because Casey wanted to see,
too..and the kids did, too. 
>
> Okay, so they finally (after about an hour) tell all of us waiting
for our appointment, that we can follow him..so we did.  He took us
out in the hall and told us that we’d each (by the time we got
there) be able to go in and audition for two producers. If they were
picked from there, then they’d go to interview with the camera and
the light, and then to the stage, with Pierce, Sharon and David. 
So, this was it..Brennon was so COOL and calm..I know I was shaking,
even in my toes for him..LOL.  We sat out and chatted with some guys
on Unicycles, triplet belly dancers who could sing, too..and a guy
who channelled Frank Sinatra through his singing..I swear. He
sang "Fly me to the Moon" and it was sooooooooo good..I asked him to
marry me, but I forgot..I’m married..LMAO.  They called Brennon
up, finally, and he went in, and I had to stand on the side..and try
not to LAUGH too hard.  He told his jokes, and his stories, and the
one producer laughed but the other one, a woman, was into her
computer and not even ACKNOWLEDGING HIM!!! I was so mad!!! I wanted
to say "Look at him.my boy is TELLING JOKES!" ..!  After a minute
over what he was supposed to use, the guy told him that they’d call
him to let him know. Okay, I’m not stupid and I know that means
that he wasn’t going to be interviewed, so I kind of know the
answer. I felt so bad for Brennon..my heart sank. He gave it his ALL
and he wasn’t upset at all..he said "I am okay. I know that I’ll
make them wish they’d picked me today".  He didn’t say it in a
threatening way but in a way that made me so  proud..that’s my
boy, and he threw his pride on his back and walked out of there a
champion. I know that sounds corny but it is so nice to know that we
raised him good.   I told him that at least it was an experience,
if anything, and that’s all I wanted him to get out of it if he
lost.  YAAAAAH!!! He’s a winner in my book..y’all know that.

> Okay, so we left there, all 7 of us, and got some NEW YORK hot
dogs..and I had heard about how good they are and they gave me "many
bathroom trips" that night.. Hmmm..let me think about this one..Oscar
Meyers or NYC hot dogs..that’s a tough one. I don’t remember
Oscars making me have to go to the bathroom 20 times in a day!
>
> So, Brennon was still kind of quiet ..and I’m sure he was bummed
alittle, so we all got back to the parking garage after being LOST a
couple of blocks.  I got to the parking attendant to pay him and
it’s how much? 30 BUCK for 2 HOURS??????? You have to be kidding
me??????? I paid it and yeah..almost used the bathroom again..this
time out of shock..haha.
>
> We get in the van and it was about 7pm..still light out so I
decided we’d drive around NYC and see the sights..wow..what was I
on? Nothing..I drove and let me say that if you can drive in NYC and
LIVE to tell about it, then you are a GOOD driver.   I did it..I
DUDDITZ (if anyone’s seen the movie "Dreamcatcher") .   I had I
don’t know how many cab drivers honk at me, cut me off, and NYC
drivers cut me off and almost wreck into me to cut me off, and
wow..what a rat race. Next time, we’re taking the sub..haha.
>
> We finally found a hotel after driving until about 10pm and it was
on Staten Island.  What a place..in the middle of nowhere, (the
hotel) and the interstate 278 right at our window.  Loud but you
know what? I was tired and had used the bathroom so much that day
that I didn’t care.  I was out in maybe 4 seconds..3 tops..LOL.
>
> We laughed and just all 7 of us being together was enough to make
our trip to NYC worth it all..  About Brennon’s comedy..he’s
still going to do it and he’s still FUNNY.  We got home at about
5pm yesterday and if I saw one more TOLL BOOTH I was going to
scream..that’s how they get ya.  Going into NYC it’s $8 and all
the way up, is about a total of $20.  Then the parking being
$30..wow..  We’re going back up next month, after Casey gets his
sales bonus from work, and we’re going to ENJOY ourselves and get a
hotel in the city, and take the sub everywhere we have to go. 
Casey’s already started planning it online, so there’s more NYC
adventures to come..stay tuned..LOL.. ;-)
