Okay now it's December 1st and were on the plane to L.A to start recording our album. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I was writing songs and so was Ashley. Zac was drawing, Taylor was listening to music and Isaac was asleep.

"WOW!" I said as I looked at the house we got to have while we were recording. "This is definitly a big house" Zac said. "Well we better get unpacked because you know that yall have to start recording tomorrow."My dad said. We all went to our rooms. They were huge. I got a room on the 2nd story and next to mine was Zac's and Ashley's. "Hey Tammy you okay?""Ya i'm fine i'm just a little tired""Ya me too all of this traveling around is making me dizzy."Ashley said."Hmm i'm still thinking about what we found in New York you know that thing.""Oh ya i'm still kinda shocked myself""Well uh so you got any new songs?""Ya I made about 6 on the way here""Hehehe I made about 7""At this rate we're gonna need to make 2 records". So we sat down and showed each other the songs. and we finally got down to about 16 that we liked. "Oh and Tam I saw Zac drawing your picture on the way here.""No way""Ya i'm positive""Ya well I heard Taylor listening to our record and when one of your songs came up he started blushing.""You know what I just bet they're way to shy to admit it especially TAylor"I suggested."Ya well I don't think Zac's gonna come out and say it either!"

We got a Van to take us everywhere because they were so many of us. What made Ashley sad is that her parents couldn't come. "Here we are."my dad said. We all got out and went inside. "Hi i'm Jennifer! and i'm gonna be helping record your record"she said as she shook our hands. "I'm Tammy and this is Ashley""Hello and Ah know who are these handsome young guys"She said scarcasticly."Hey Jennifer it's nice to see you again."Taylor said."Well I hear that these boys are gonna help out with your record""Ya if they can keep up with us girls"i said. "Well lets see do you have your songs picked out""Yes we have 15 that we wrote that are ready to record""Thats good maybe this won't take as long as we hoped". We did all of the music part first then we recorded our voices. It took about a week to do all 15 songs, and then we started on our first song called "Don't break my heart" which was my song. It took maybe about 2 days. Next was "Going downtown" which was Ashley and mine duet . That took about 4 days because we kept getting off. Next was a song that hanson helped us out with called "I'm so lonely tonight.". That took about maybe 6 days because it was hard recording 5 people at once practally. Our next 7 songs we so easy we whipped them all out in about 2 weeks. Our next 3 songs went kinda slow because well were were tired and kinda sleepy. the last song took 5 says because we were lyterally exausted. So our next project is the phot shoots for the Album and the single.

We arrived at the photo studio at about 10:30 the next morning. We meet the photographers,they were really nice and cool. Hanson was gonna shoot with us for our single and a picture for the album but first it was Ashley and me's turn. This was actually rather fun! We were totally crazy that day so we had really fun and we did so many things that our parents and all the kids and the photographers started laughing. It was a really fun day. Next it was time to take shots with hanson. We got infront of a background that had a split screen so that was cool and we took about 20 shots. It was really funny too cause everyone was really wacky that day!

That night we were exhausted! And the next day we were gonna shoot some stuff for our video. "Hey Tam,can you sleep?"Ashley asked me. "No it was such a fun day, but i'm really exhausted.""Ya me 2 I guess I drank too many cokes and Dr.Peppers this morning.""Ya me 2 and I had a big sugar rush today, I guess it was all those candy bars I ate.""Ya I can't wait until radio stations start playing our song!!And I bet we get to #1!""Whoa don't ge to excited Ashley you know there are older and more experienced musicians out there we might not make it" I would never know how big we would make it.
