New Opening, Galleria Commercial

We taped a commercial for the Galleria Mall (or I should say, we showed up for the taping done by PM Digital Group) in which Sierra and Azure appear along with a couple of cute friends. While there, we taped some B-Roll for the show opening. So below are the two files: the mall commercial and the new show opening:

Just finished the 3 commercials for the Chiropractor. Here they are:

The commercials will be alternated throughout the season.

Here's #3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SIERRA!

15 years ago tonight, our beautiful sweet Sierra was born - she came out wiggling and screaming and has been a delight ever since. WE LOVE YOU!

Birthday cake was a circle of ice cream sandwiches and kit-kats!

Sierra and best-friend, Carli

Good-morning Sierra! Breakfast in bed.

Surprise party at the dance studio. THANKS Miss Kim!

NEXT 4 EPISODES .... DONE!

We had another successful day of taping yesterday! That's 8 shows taped - only 5 to go - to be finished for the season! What a day! These 4 shows were taped at the PM Digital Group studio. This picture is Sonia, setting some of the back-light.

Bryan worked CONTINUITY for the day. He timed everything out perfectly! Glad we had him :)

Show #5 was Chris Maathuis, Channel 8 Sports Director and Anchor; and Ron Gerrard, National Radio Sports

This picture shows Trip (producer) with all of us.

Sonia does pretty much everything - mic, lights, cameras, teleprompter, make up ....

These pictures are out of show order now, but the next one shows Trip & myself with Lena Prima (Louis Prima's daugher - the Prima family are Las Vegas icons ... he was a major Jazz performer back in the 50s and 60s) and Billy Hinsche - of Dino (Dean Martin's son), Desi (Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball's son) and Billy fame. They had several big hits in the mid 60s and started off the success of young kids in music - following them were the Partridge Family, David Cassidy, etc. Anyway, Billy also was a musician with the Beach Boys for years and years.

This is Bryan with "Mr. Bigfoot" between tapings.

Lauren Wood, KSHP Radio host and Mr. Bigfoot, Comedian

Bry - doing his work

I think this is a cool shot - with the tripod & headphones in the foreground as we get ready to tape the final segment of Show #7 with Darlene Mea and Matisun.

Matisun is a singer/songwriter and author; Darlene is a Promoter/Producer ... both VERY nice people!

Billy Hinsche was really fun to talk with both on and off camera. A very nice man.

A quick picture of Bryan with Billy Hinsche and Lena Prima. Cool.

It was a great day of taping. We also taped a :15-second promo for the show that Las Vegas One will air wherever it fits in. Next tapings: the week of April 13th.

I love doing this!

SUSHI...SUSHI...SUSHI

We were surprised with a visit from Trevor, Caci & Jace on our anniversary ... and then to top it off, they took us to an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT Sushi Bar . For two returned missionaries from Japan, it was a "dream come true" for our palates!

This plate doesn't show any sushi - but that's just because it was one of 3 plates I had on the table at that time!

Caci was a true sport! Any one of our kids would have chowed down at a sushi bar ... but Caci HATES fish and everything related to fish. So not only was she a good-sport about going to the Sushi Restuarant, but she even tasted a BEAUTIFUL piece of sashimi - just to make us all happy. I was certain that once she tasted it she'd be hooked.
