Our Very Own Pageant Princess

Just for fun, we entered Hailey in a beauty pageant, but it was nothing like "Toddlers and Tiaras." This pageant was very natural, meaning no makeup, no fake hair, etc...

There were two parts to her competition: casual wear and formal wear.

For casual wear, the judges wanted to see her interact with her favorite toy. So she took her baby.

Interacting with the judges. Notice she hits her competition in the head with the soccer ball...this was definitely not rehearsed!!

For the formal part, she had to walk on some marked spots to music. Jalayne was able to help her walk, but she really didn't need it.

She was able to "dance" (twirl) on her spots to show herself off. She had such a fun time doing this. We really thought she would have a meltdown, especially since this was during her nap time.

Well, it was time for the crowning...and she won!! In addition to winning her age division, she also won "most photogenic" from a picture of her that we submitted. She was awarded a tiara, two sashes and two trophies!

She was so excited!


So now, we have the decision to make of putting her into the state competition now.

Easter 2010

This year's Easter was fun. Hailey seemed to enjoy it. It started off with our tradition of doing Easter Bunny baskets on Saturday morning. Hailey was excited for her candy and Cootie Bugs game.


We then headed to Lone Tree, where my mom was in charge of their neiborhood's egg hunt. Once Hailey knew what to do, she took off. I had to ask if there was a limit to how many eggs she could get because she was picking up tons!





Hailey had lots of fun hunting with her cousins!


After our hunt, we headed to good seafood restaurant to celebrate our close family friend, Peggy's birthday.

Easter Sunday was spent at the Hamilton's house. We enjoyed the nice weather and had a few pictures taken at the park with Hailey's Easter dress.
