Pageant Time...

On March 6th Rylee was in the California Tropic Pageant. It was held in Provo, UT. The theme for this pageant was Springwear, so we found Rylee a cute spring dress to wear. She looked so cute! For her age group 3-6 year olds, they would not allow the parents to walk on with them. With the boys division they weren't as strict, but with the girls they wouldn't let parents go on. They told them no waving, no blowing kisses, just go to the X and smile at the judges. They were allowed to do a circle walk to show their dress, but that was it. I am definitely not into the glitzy pageants, but Rylee enjoys pageants, so we have let her do a few of the natural beauty type pageants. I just like her to have fun!

She did such a good job and looked so adorable! She won a trophy for "Personality Plus" and another for "Runner Up to Queen". Plus she got a cute plush ducky, which she loved. She was invited to the Tri-State Nationals, but its in Cali, so we won't be going to that.

Her Aunt Lenny, Cousins Savanah & Cruz and his girlfriend Taylor all came to watch. Which was very nice of them. Afterwards we all headed to SLC to stay for the weekend. Lenny & I took the girls to make a build-a-bear, which they loved. Afterwards we went to watch Cruz at his basketball game.

They didn't allow cameras at this pageant so I didn't take any pictures. They sent me some that they took. Here are pictures of her at the pageant and the trophies and duck she won, and the Build-a-Bear we took her to get afterward for doing such a great job!

Some of the girls....there were 15 total.

On April 10th, Rylee was in the Cinderella Pageant. She really wanted to do this pageant. I had told her about both pageants back in February and she was set on doing both. We borrowed her dress from my friend Krissy. It turned out really cute! With this pageant they had back stage interviews first, then casual wear where they had to do their walk and then say their name, age and where they are from on stage, then party dress where they did the full pageant walk on stage, then they had their on stage interview and then crowning. So there was a lot more that goes into this pageant. Rylee did such a great job and as always looked like a doll up there on stage. She was so cute and posed so pretty up there. She smiled so cute and seriously has the best posture when she walks, it amazes me. During the on stage interview she was adorable. She got up there and said her name, age and where she is from, then they asked her about her pet and she said she has a pet hampster named Bella and she is tan and white. Then they asked what she wants to be when she grows up and she said a Doctor because they help people. After that they asked what her favorite food is and she said noodles, which was funny to me because she had me put Cheeseburgers on her paper. When they asked who makes them she said her mom and that I just cook them in the microwave. That made me laugh! Oh I love that girl....

Here she is in her backstage interview outfit.

So proud of her trophy!

The number of girls in her group was HUGE! It was ages 3-6 and there were about 30 girls. This is the biggest group they have had. I sure would not like to be the judges that have to decide between that many cute girls. Rylee took "Cinderella Tot Personality" and was awarded a "big" trophy which she was so proud of. As soon as we got home she put her trophy up and said, "now I just need one more." Ahhh this girl loves pageants. It is great for giving them confidence and not being shy. I want Rylee to always be outgoing and hope this kind of stuff helps!

Good Job Rylee & Congratulations....We Love You & are so Proud of You!!!
