Crowning of Gwen. She was crowned first because she was 2nd runner up.

Pageant Formal Wear

Each girl had to have an escort for their formal wear. Lucky Tyler. I got Gwen this blue dress thinking her favorite color was blue...'till I bought it, then all of the sudden her favorite color changed to green. The ribbon around the waste that tied in the back was much smaller when I bought the dress.... I bought more satin fabric and thickened it out. I used the extra white satin for a flower centered with gems for her hair and made a bracelet. I also added about 3 yards of tulle underneath to give the dress more poof.

Pageant Casual Wear

This top was actually a dress I found, but origionally went all the way down to the floor. It was slightly too formal for the casual wear. So, I cut off the bottom and put the black leggings underneath it. With the extra fabric, I made a rosette head band with a matching bracelet and also added the rosettes at the top near the neck line. Yeah, I had to get out my sewing kit/machine for every outfit she wore.

Pageant Musical/ Dance Introduction

The theme for the pageant was "Shake Your Groove Thing". The girls all tried to shake their stuff while walking on stage. Gwen thought the chipmunks song was so much fun. They all had to wear these t-shirts that were HUGE on all the girls. I had to sew up the sleaves a little because it went past her elbow. They also had this not-so-cute head band and bracelet. -sorry. But at least they all looked the same.

Pageant Interviews

A week before the actual pageant, all the girls get their pictures professionally taken and then are interviewed by the judges. One lucky girl in each age group is given the most photogenic award. The night of the pictures, a storm was blowing in... It was so cold. I had Gwen wrapped in a thick blanket inbetween pictures and interviews. The storm just had to come though because it only took me over an hour just to curl her hair. Luckily I had enough hair spray on her it didn't do too much damage.


I made the hair bow.

....and the bracelet.

Swimming Lessons

I signed up Alex and Gwen again this year for swimming lessons.

I'll for sure have to sign Sammy up next year for sure.

They Love it!.. and look forward to swimming lessons every summer.
Gwen does so awesome.. She's a natural.

Great Grandma Cheney's Funeral

The funeral went well.

It was simple and sweet.

I thought taking my kids would end up being a nightmare.

But, they were pretty good.

Here's a few pictures I took right after the burial service.

My kids at the Anniversary party.
Maegan and Sammy are holding roses off the cake.
I think Maegan actually took a bite off the top of the rose. yuck
I don't know what's on Alex's shirt either.
It was a crazy night with the kids,

Tonz of people were there supporting them.
