strawberry festival pageant

well it has been a long time since i have blogged! today was the strawberry festival pageant here in cabot. lauren did it last year (it ws her very first pageant). she got photogenic and 2nd runner up. today we did not get anything and it was expected. we did not have a good day. it was 100 degrees and her hair fell and she was a little hellion! lol!! i know there will be plenty of pageant where she doesn't get anything. i did pageants growing up and there were a bunch that i didn't get anything in. i'm pissed because they combined her group with the one year olds. there were three in lauren's group and three in the one year old group. i don't believe there was any reason to combine these groups. if they hadn't then everybody would have gotten something. i was told by different people that this pageant is rigged and i still put her in it. iwill not be putting her in it next year.

in other news... we will be doing the state cinderella pageant in june. this pageant is very close to my heart and i hope she does her very best. and it is in hot springs my favorite town!!!!!

chris is looking for us a boat. lauren is going to love it i'm sure. he wants a fish and ski and i want a ski. i told him whatever makes him happy because i love him.

til next blog.......

miss magness creek pageant

Lauren won wee miss magness creek Saturday. i don't know how many more of these i can take. lol!! it was hot, hot in that gym. in the other two pageants we have done she has wanted me, but this time she was a daddy's girl. she wanted her daddy every time. i was surprised i could get her to smile on stage. she also had not had her nap and was hot and tired. when it came to the crowning and they were about to announce the winner i was a wreck. i was looking at who was left and wondering whether this was going to be the one when she doesn't get anything. i know that eventually she will have one of those. :( everybody does.

the day had already been along one, but it was a good one!! Chris smoked some ribs and a pork butt and family came over. Lauren had a blast seeing her mamaw Lisa, pappaw Jim, paw paw Larry and maw maw Bobbie. we tried to roll her hair but it turned out awful. I'm sure though as hot as it was in there that if it would have curled, it would have fallen. poor child has her mother's hair. of course it she had her daddy's curly hair i wouldn't know what to do with it. now we get ready for Georgia. we leave this Fri or sat. can't wait!!!!!!!
