Queen Lil Miss Starlet of Michigan

Next month is Little miss Liberty and the start of our 2nd year twirling with the Saline twirlettes!!

Headshots for this weeks pageant

Well after much debate here is the two we are choosing for the Lil Miss Starlet of Michigan Pageant this weekend.

On another note Wooo Hooo we are closing finally on our Disney Vacation Club, we got 220 points a year and can't wait to take a trip. This process has been taking forever Disney is really slow at the ROFR.

The bad news is Matt needs a new car, his truck is at the end of its life. My sister has a blog "where did all these kids come from?" I need to change ours to "where is all this money going to come from?"

Well back to work and will post the results Sunday hopefully.

Packing Day

Well it is time to start pulling out the dresses and outfits and all the hair stuffs for the state level pageant, we will travel to on Friday.

I must admit i do this in advance because every day i find something else we needed to bring so it allows me time to keep trying to remember what i am forgetting. HA

Not easy for the 5 year old who has to compete with kids that are 7.

Her biggest struggle hands down is relaxing. The judges will be scoring her on First Impression (1 - 25 pts), Overall Appearance (1 - 25 pts), and Personality (Stage Presence) (1 - 25 pts). And Introduction.

It will be her stage presence that is the hard one! Outfit of Choice she will rock the house, and talent.

Good luck princess!

Picture Pages

August updates

Well it has been a fun summer, watching the kids grow it's just awesome.

Last Friday August 7th Isabella preformed with the twirlettes in 3 numbers for the Saline Summer fest, she did great ( i promise to post some pics).

But back at the end of July she was crowned princess in her first full on Pageant. She did a baton solo for talent, Beauty walk, swimsuit (her fave), and outfit of choice.

Her age group is 5-9 and she did wonderful.

She has a parade in Dexter Saturday morning for the Dexter Daze festival. She will be marching with the twirlettes. Her favorite majorette Haley is off competing in the Miss America outstanding teen competition we wish her the best!

Isabella will be competing in the Lil miss Washtenaw pageant, Lil Miss starlet of Michigan, and Sunburst beauty pageants in October...we also hope to squeeze in a quick trip to Disney as we plan to Compete in the Twirl Mania contest at Disney in February 2010.

Well to sum it all up the pageant Diva is booked solid till next spring! And she starts Kindergarten in September *sniff....all grown up!

Speaking of growing up Henry is a walking talking (ok babble) lil Man! His Aunt Krista calls him french fry as she brings him a favorite treat Mc D's french fries when she visits.

Which is just about every weekend as we love having her lil monsters over, fun fun!

Nothing better than 5 mini monsters in an itty bitty house, we love it!

Ok back to Henry, well his hair is growing crazy he looks a bit like a surfer boy.

He just moved up into the toddler room at school, this is the room Isabella first started in at Tutor Time. He likes it a lot new adventures, friends and more room to romp.

He will be in this room till he is Two then he will move up again.

His newest words are, Hi Dadda, Dog dog, and bbbbella.

His photos are at home i will post soon promise!

His favorite thing to do is climb in the refrigerator and press the button to turn the light on and off on and off.

He also just started having an attitude, when he protests it's on! Screaming, kicking, arching his back and a 34 pound monster is not easy to correct.

Yesterday was funny mommy (me) took the kids to the park while daddy was golfing (his favorite hobby).

Well there was no baby swing at this park? They both wanted to swing so i got Bella set up and pushed her a few times to get her going then put Henry in the other swing superman style so i could push him and he too could swing all was going great, squeals of laughter rang through the park. Then Bella wanted another big push....just then Henry oops flew forward face first off the swing into the wood chips, you might say superman took a dive and crashed?

I picked him up to find his mouth full of dirt and wood chips, faced scratched, wood chips all over his eyes, in his nose and hair a mess. I said Isabella we need to leave and get Henry cleaned up...she said oh mom just brush it off he is fine! We went home even though the princess objected and they splish splashed in the tub a bit till daddy got home. The end

Happy 5th Birthday Isabella

Happy 5th Birthday Princess! I can't believe how fast you have grown up. I remember it like it was yesterday 5 years ago, my goodness my back was just killing I was fearful of waking up your sleeping Dad to tell him it was time...sure enough daddy popped out of bed and almost forgot to put his pants on he was so excited for your arrival. A few hours latter you were here and it was love at first sight. We were a family.

You have taught mommy and your daddy a lot and we have enjoyed watching you learn and grow.

You make us very proud and we hope you enjoy your Birthday bike and your surprises....

All our love,

Mommy & Daddy

Parades, Parties and pools

The summer schedule has kicked off in full swing.

Isabella had her big birthday party at Jump city (photos to follow this week)

On June 27th, due to the holiday we opted to celebrate early.

She has gone to twirling camp in June and is now in July camp twirling with national Champions.

She has a huge pageant in two weeks and I hope she remembers her routine.

She has a 3 minute solo twirling routine to her favorite song Taylor Swift Stay Beautiful.

Here is her 4th of July photo with the girls, she rode in the car with Miss Michigan outstanding teen Haley Williams one of her favorite majorettes. (in the back row with the crown on)
