Family Pictures

Last Saturday we went out to the Saltair and Ashley did my family pictures. Not just Sean and my kids but my whole family. For my moms birthday Rachael, me, Kyle and Tyson put in together and had family pictures taken for her. Last time we did that was 4-5 years ago. I only had two kids that long ago. So we went out there and Ashley did her magic. I was worried that there was gonna be drama, there usually is when my mom is around. But I really love what she did. She took pictures of families together people alone, couples alone and all of us together. The most beautiful thing was that the sun was setting in some of them and the silloette of Sean and I and Rachael and Mike alone in the water was beautiful. We have to wait three weeks to see it all but I am really excited and my mom loved her birthday present. Anyways wait a few weeks and It will be on here.

Little Miss Tooele Pageant

Brooklynn this month was in the Little Miss Tooele Pageant. It was something that I don't think I will do again. Why you ask? Well let me tell you the story..... This was Brooklynns first Pageant as well as mine, so I didn't know what to expect. As a lot of you know by knowing Brooklynn she is a sweetie and adorable, so why not put her into a pageant. We got there and she got shy, Brooklynn shy. Thats like Sean and singing, it doesn't mix. Anyways she got on stage and shied up and when it came time for her question she shyed up as well. Not a big deal to me, I don't mind because I didn't expect her to win, just wanted her to have a good time. Brooklynn won for most energetic which I really did like because each girl got a metal and a flower. The little girl that won really did deserve to win, you could tell she had done more than one pageant.
Now for the reason I won't let her do it again. Brooklynn got off stage in tears. She didn't understand why she didnt win. She felt bad about herself. I never wanted her to feel bad about herself. She happend to have made friends with the first runner up and she had talked to the winner and was standing next to her when she won, not that I want her to be a bad sport but I don't ever want her to feel bad about herself because she is my baby girl. She is my little mini me. I love her with all my heart.
Anyways I was very proud of her, she looked so beautiful and was just adorable on stage.
