Father's Day 2010

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Brent and his four kido's

Brookie had helped the kids put together a stunt pod performance for Brent.

Now for the gift....Brookie was VERY excited about it.

We had an accordian style personality book made for Brent. It has pics of each of the kids and folds up into a little book that is a magnet.

Brent LOVED his gift...can't you tell!

Jessie and Mommy

AAMTC 2010

Brookie and Jessie decided to compete in the All American Modeling and Talent Competition (AAMTC) this year. It is held the day prior to Cinderella State. They are required to model about 6 different themed outfits and perform about 6 different talents. It was alot of fun and they each ended up winning one of the titles! Here are a few of the pictures. Enjoy!

Jessie before performing her cheer routine.

Brookie singing "I Like Your Style" (The American Girl Doll song). She stood perfectly still during the entire thing...this was immediately after she hurt her heel. (Read more below.)

One of my favorite dresses on Brookie.

Jessie singing and dancing to "Mama Keta"

Brooke getting a pep talk from daddy before modeling her casual wear...she pulled her back tuck and landed hard on the wooden stage with no shoes on and bruised her heel. She did NOT want to do anymore after that. She is a trooper and a true performer though...she finished it out...with a smile on her face. Turns out she got a deep heel bruise and couldn't tumble for about a week and then had to wear heel cushions for a few weeks after that.

Thank heavens for Grandpa and the play area in the back of the room!

Braden and Nik Nik playing together while they wait.

Swimming in Las Vegas

We were in Las Vegas for the Cinderella state pageant.

The favorite part of the hotel is always the swimming! Family of swimmers!

Kaylee Nicole having her picture taken.

She realized that Braden was saying cheese for the picture and she is trying to push him out of the picture.

Brent pulled her away from him and so she tried to push him out with her foot. Little stinker!
