Little Miss Tooele County Pageant

Yea, McKailey and I had a crazy idea to try a pageant for fun. McKailey likes to try new things and it was a week away when we saw the advertisement. So... Friday night was the rehearsal with us getting the info on what was going to happen the next morning. It was pretty simple, smile and wave, say your name and answer one question. It was pretty low key. Sweet! Best part- everyone got a tiara. That was why McKailey wanted to do this in the first place. So, Saturday morning comes, we curl her hair (which wasn't staying) and put her in her dress. I love this dress on her, it's the right color for her skin, and off we go. We got there and realized everyone was wearing fancy dresses (oops! It just said a party dress- how did I know :) ). But McKailey was excited anyways (she is a good sport and didn't once even say that the dress wasn't as fancy). The video shows how she did on the actual pageant. Who honestly would have thought that she got Queen! It took us by surprise and yes, we were excited!

Braxton's Rain Gutter Regatta

Braxton had fun with his Rain Gutter Regatta this year. He took 1st place. Here's a little video of the adventure. He had his game face on the whole time. Alex and Braxton had been discussing this day for a long time. Alex was dissapointed that it wasn't a pinewood derby, but we made the best of it, even though we made the boat the morning of. A year of talking and minutes of building.
