Extreme makeover Home Edition

This is one of my all time favorite shows, so when I heard they we're coming to El Paso I was so excited! I missed the sign ups to volunteer so all we were able to do was stand and watch, but that was so exciting too. It was amazing to see so many people work so hard and so quickly to build a house. It was also fun too see in person the people I have seen so much on tv.
Working in the tent

It was amazing to see those guys just pull up the walls with a rope.

The finished house with the bus in front
Rib strutting his stuff.
My friend Anna was obsessed with getting a picture of Ty, We tried to go see the house for the "Move that Buss" event, but those poor little boys were not at all hapy about standing in a tight crowd in the hot sun. We finally decided to leave and give the boys a break. Just then we saw Ty zoom by in a golf cart and go around the corner. We kept walking toward our car when Anna spotted what looked like the golf cart. We stopped there and waited, because it was right by the official trailer. 1 minute later quess who walks right out of the bathroom--TY! Anna started screaming and pleading, and Ty came over for some autographs. I was able to get Anna her priceless treasure-a pic with Ty.

The Limo, ready to go get the family.
