Makeover Midwest Style

A family in Chapman was chosen for a home makeover from the ABC hit show Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They had lost their home in the June 11th tornado, he is in the army - was shot and is being discharged, their 15-year old nephew lives with them - you know all the typcial stuff involved with the show - what makes it a good "story." Anyway, we had to go over and be part of the spectators tonight.

When we first arrived, we thought "Great - no Ty. We aren't even going to see anyone, but all these construction workers with their blue shirts."

Then, just before we were thinking of leaving I spotted the pink hard hat - had to be Paige. And it was! They were filming her and it was at least 10 outtakes before they called it good - can't wait to see if we can pick it out during the show.

Then, who is that on the roof? Is it Ty? Well, no but it was Michael Maloney.

He also had to do several outtakes - which involved him gesturing our direction (the crowd's). Our first thought - "Wow - he's pointing to us? Will we be on t.v.?" We shouted and waved - he even waved back a few times and posed for us - then more of the gesturing our way - we were sure he was looking at us!! Then we turned around and witnessed the beautiful sunset - okay, so today wasn't our t.v. debut, but hey - they are here until Tuesday?!
