So the girls have been so much apart of my pageant prep. They get shuttled around and usually end up with a trip to McDonald's everytime we have to venture out to Raychaleene's for alterations, which has been a lot. They come with me to have my shoes fixed, to buy earrings, to a baby sitter so I can get a spray tan, and the list goes on. Gabriela gives me her opinion of all the other ladies and today she noticed how her eyebrows were bigger than the other ladies. I had to laugh a little bit at that point. They let me model my swimsuit for them and Gabriela is always so kind and says, "Mom, you look great," and "Mom, I love your fancy dress...it's beautiful." Too bad she can't come back stage with me. She would boost my self confindence. Everyday she asks me when the pageant is and is so excited she gets to go. She also tells me, which I think is priceless coming from her little four year old voice, "Mami, it's o.k. if you don't win. You just try, try again, and keep getting better." Here they are modeling my pageant heels and others they've seen me wear. Please excuse the underwear.
Here's the peanut gallery as I model my swimsuit. I just don't think they are very interested, do you? You work with what you got...right!

That is so cute!! I am debating whether or not to bring my kids. Ihave the last two years & Lance hasn't been able to enjoy it because my kids just don't sit still & it is so long for them. But I really want them to experience this with me & hopefully someday remember it...especially when they try fo things..and try, and try until they are satisfied with the results. Last year Liza came up to me after it was all over & had a sad look on her face. When I asked what was wrong she started crying and asked "how come you didn't win the crown?" How cool would that be if she came this year & I won...doubt that will happen but hey, you can wish right? Anyway, so cute & can't wait to see you!
I can so relate. The majority of my preperations have involved three little children. I bet your little girls are so proud of you - what fun memories they will have of "helping" mommy. You are going to do awesome Lindsay! I just adore you. I'm so happy you and Natalie are next to me in the line-up. We are going to have a blast! See ya on Saturday.
