Call The Guinness Book!

This HAS to bee some kind of record!

Or maybe not.... you might remember THIS beauty from March 2009.

You'll never look at my kid the same way... will you? Am I a bad parent for being kind of proud of my boy for this? Thoughts?

Christmas Around the World

We had the privilege of attending the Christmas Around the World Event.  It was VERY impressive to say the least!  It's a wonderful event held every year around the holiday season to celebrate the birth of the Savior with nativities and displays from all different parts of the world.  It is by far the largest nativity display I have ever seen or heard of for that matter!  It was so great to get to go and to take our kids.  I highly recommend everyone go and see it.  It's open until the end of the year and part of the proceeds go to the Children's Miracle Network.

Girls Night Out~ New Moon Edition

For our most recent girls night out we saw none other than Twilight sequel New Moon!  First of all we saw it at the NEW Maya theater downtown and I have to say that theater is amazing!  It's super nice inside and we went on a Tuesday night so the tickets were discounted to only $6.00.  The movie itself was AWESOME!  As a tried and true Twilight fanatic, having read all the books, it's really hard NOT to like it.  I couldn't help but laugh at the awes and giddy giggles from people in the theater when Jacob took his shirt off for the first time.  Jacob seriously dominated in the shirtless category.  I mean come on, it wasn't even close!  Go Team Jacob!

Thanks girls for going out with me and preserving some much needed sanity and thanks Andy for watching the kids for me.

Fire Station Tour

Recently my sister and I took the kids on a tour of the Bakersfield Fire Station!  The Fire Fighters were so great with the kids.  They took pictures with them, let them stand in the fire engine and even let them shoot the fire hose.  With the exception of Preston not having such a great day everyone had a good time.

San Jorge

So for Thanksgiving weekend the Waite clan gathered in Saint George to celebrate Thanksgiving and to be there when Molly & Scott where sealed in the temple. It was a great trip full of great memories. We were really glad to be able to go and wish we could have stayed longer, but the trip was great and well worth the drive. On Friday I pulled out the camera and snapped a few photos, so I thought I would share a few of them on here.

Some BIG movie news!

Higher Definition Media's second feature film, Phase Two, was recently featured at the Bakersfield Comic-Con on November 8th!  There was a panel of some of the cast and crew who discussed some of the behind the scenes of the film and also talked a little about their upcoming projects.  It was really fun seeing everyone again and getting a chance to catch up.  Another highlight of the event was the Phase Two TRAILER!...

This is the Phase Two Teaser Trailer that premiered at Comic Con 2009 in Bakersfield, CA.

If you're interested in watching more clips from the movie you can check out the Phase Two facebook page.  Principle photography for Phase Two is completed, now it's just a matter of editing, and then on to the PREMIER!

And even bigger news!

HDM has began pre-production on it's next feature film!  We were lucky enough to have Liz, who is not only an amazing mother in law but a super talented writer, produce a screen play entitled Songs My Father Sang (working title).  The film is a 1950's period drama set in Kern County.  Songs my Father Sang will be a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Union film and is slated to begin principle photography in March!  I can't tell you how excited I am to be involved!  I can't say this enough but it's really a great script and it's going to be amazing!  We'll definitely keep everyone up to date with the progress of the film.
