Over 5,000 attendees participated in community service projects all across North County.
• Total number of volunteers? 5,279
• Total number of projects? 139
• Gallons of paint? 900+
• Tractors used to do the dirty work? 15

Our project took place in Oceanside at Camp Fire USA, a Non-profit that provides after school programs for K-12 by helping with homework, reading, English, field trips, and more.

We helped with Construction/Carpentry, Fix-it, Irrigation, Landscape, Painting, Pavement & Concrete, Plumbing. It was good, hard, dirty...and yes, fun, work.

Congrats Evan & Melissa

A Happy Wedding Day for Evan & Melissa Archibald...
Unfortunately, none of the photos we took of the actual wedding turned out...
but we did get some really good ones of us.


And some funny ones...

And proof that Mark can bust a move.
So again, we congratulate you guys, and hope that your wedding photos turned out better than ours.

Summer & Fall 2008 Catch Up Blog

September was a crazy month that just flew by.
In fact, Sara's first week went a little like this...

MONDAY
VMAs
(Disclaimer: I had nothing to do with the choice of host...and I apologize if you watched the show this year)
TUESDAY-THURSDAY
USMC Commerical Shoot
FRIDAY - SUNDAY
Gull Lake


And the week following that...
The 60th Annual Emmy Awards at the brand new Nokia Theater in Downtown Los Angeles.
It’s all very exciting and glamorous…


Having Your Hair Done Fancy by the Stylist ~~ Glamming Up with Your Co-Workers (for a change)


Seeing Old Friends …and Fellow Pepperdine Alumni


Talking to some of the people I actually like and (*gasp*) respect, in the business.
That was all great and everything…but what you don’t see is the fabulous behind the scenes moments…


Killing LOTS AND LOTS of downtime with no computer access.


Being forced to drive down major L.A. streets in a NOT-Street-Legal golf carts, because another bomb threat came in and security locked everything down.

That, and not having bathroom access for 12 hours because the Port-o-Potties were locked. Not to mention I’m not touching that water with a 90-ft pole.
Good Times!

FINDING OUR PUMPKIN!!!!

And meeting a new little “pumpkin” - Tyra & James' Baby Girl
Kiara Alison Mae Hughes – Born September 7th, 2008
She’s just 3 weeks old in these photos! Can you believe it! What a cutie!
*Kiara, if you ever see this photo of you in the bag, don’t be mad.

Family Fun in the Sequoias

10-Acre Corn Maze
2 hours and 2.5 miles later...we completed it.
