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,
but the party turned out great.
Tonz of people were there supporting them.
